Overview
- The article urges a simple “set it and forget it” plan built around Bitcoin, which it describes as the most popular cryptocurrency.
- It cites historical results from 2012 to 2025, including several double‑digit years and gains of about 157% in 2023 and 125% in 2024.
- It sets that record against recent weakness, saying Bitcoin is down roughly 40% over six months after an October 2025 peak near $126,000.
- It underscores past crashes to justify holding through downturns, noting a 77% slide in 2022 and a 94% drop in 2011, with Cathie Wood counting at least five falls of 77% or more.
- It flags speculative targets rather than promises, pointing to Polymarket’s 9% odds of $150,000 this year and claims by some investors that $1 million in the next few years is possible.
