Let’s compare asset class performance over the past decade:

Asset 10-Year Return
Bitcoin ~4,000%+
S&P 500 ~180%
Gold ~80%
Real Estate ~60%
Bonds ~15%

Even with Bitcoin’s famous volatility, its risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio) have been competitive with traditional assets over longer timeframes.

The key insight: a small allocation (2-5%) to BTC in a diversified portfolio has historically improved overall returns without significantly increasing risk. For more detailed analysis and comparison tools, btc66.me has some interesting resources.
