Over the past three years, Bitcoin has returned roughly 225%, compared with about 109% for the Nasdaq.
But there’s another number worth paying attention to.
If Bitcoin’s five best trading days during that period are removed, its return falls to around 95%.
That doesn’t mean those five days were unusual luck that investors should ignore. It highlights how difficult market timing can be. Some of Bitcoin’s strongest moves happen in very short windows, and there’s no reliable way to know beforehand which days will produce them.
Trying to step in and out of the market can therefore mean missing a disproportionate share of the upside.
You don’t need to predict Bitcoin’s best days. You need to be invested when they happen.
