"If I had invested $100 in Bitcoin in 2010, I would now have $3 billion."
No. If you bought $100 worth of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it increase: $1,000 → $100,000 → $2 million and did nothing Then watched $2 million grow to $200 million and still did nothing Then watched $200,000 grow to $150 million and still did nothing Then watched $150 million decrease to $25 million and still did nothing Then watched $25 million skyrocket to $500 million and still did nothing Then watched $500 million decrease to $100 million Then watched $100 million grow to $2 billion and still did nothing Then watched $2 billion decrease to $400 million and still did nothing Then watched $400 million skyrocket to $3 billion and then, for some reason, finally decided to do something… So yes, $100 in 2010 would be worth $3 billion today.
