What If You Invested $100 in Bitcoin 15 Years Ago? ChatGPT’s Jaw-Dropping Answer

Crypto 10 days ago

In 2009, Bitcoin was a little-known experiment valued at less than a tenth of a penny per coin. A $100 investment back then could have bought over 111,000 BTC, an amount now worth billions. ChatGPT’s calculation shows that at today’s estimated price of $106,000 per Bitcoin, that initial $100 would now be valued at nearly $11.8 billion.

However, this astronomical return comes with major caveats. Many early investors lost access to their wallets or sold during market crashes. About 20% of early Bitcoins are permanently lost due to forgotten passwords or hardware failures. Even if someone held their coins, selling such a large amount today could crash the market.

While Bitcoin’s early explosive growth is unlikely to repeat, ChatGPT notes that cryptocurrency still offers long-term potential as institutional adoption grows. The AI emphasizes that this scenario is purely hypothetical, serving as both a fascinating thought experiment and a cautionary tale about crypto’s volatile nature.
