A British millionaire has shared results of a 5-year investment experiment where he allocated $100 into various assets to test long-term performance. The comparison highlights stark differences in returns, risk, and accessibility.
• Samsung stock (picked at random) — -32%
• REIT fund (real estate) — +10%
• Bitcoin — +550%
• Gold — +40%
• S&P 500 index fund — +80%
The experiment also evaluated tax efficiency and accessibility. The clear winner was Bitcoin, outperforming traditional assets and index funds by a wide margin.
