Imagine you're an investor who bought 4064 bitcoins at the height of the market in 2021, when each bitcoin was worth around $50,000. You’re now considering selling them to invest in a different asset class. The question is, how much would your bitcoins be worth in today’s dollars, and how does that compare to the current value of the US dollar?

If 1 bitcoin is currently valued at $35,000, then the total value of 4064 bitcoins would be $142,240,000. If you had sold those bitcoins in 2021 when each was worth about $50,000, you would have made $203,200,000. However, if you had held onto them until today, you’d have seen a significant drop in value due to market fluctuations. Considering inflation over this period could help you understand how much less buying power you have today compared to when you bought your bitcoins.
Is it better to keep my cryptocurrencies or convert them into USD?
Answer
The decision depends on your financial goals and market outlook. If you believe that cryptocurrencies will rebound or if you need liquidity for other investments, converting might be wise. However, if you think holding onto them could yield better returns over time or if you’re looking for diversification from traditional assets, keeping them could be more beneficial. Always consider tax implications and consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions.
Account $10,000, risk 1% → $100 risk per trade. Entry $50, stop $48 → $2 risk/share → 50 shares. Target $54 (2R). If stopped, −$100; if target hits, +$200 (before costs).
Use an amount you can afford to lose while learning a repeatable process.
Decide a fixed risk % per trade, then divide by the price distance to your stop.
Match your timeframe: DAIly/weekly for swing; weekly/monthly for long-term.
