📊 HODL is not just a trend. It’s a statistical lesson.

👆The graph shows a historical journey of the *price* of Bitcoin along with a very powerful fact:

📈 *99.6%* of the days *since Bitcoin exists* have been profitable for those who bought and held (HODL) until today.

*What does this mean exactly?*

->>> A total of 5,387 days have been counted since there has been a market with a price for Bitcoin (+/- since 2010).

Out of those, in 5,368 days (99.6% of the time) the current price of Bitcoin was higher than the purchase price on that day.

❌ Only on 19 occasions in total has anyone who bought and held until today been at a loss.

🤔 So, this implies that:

Currently, there is a small fraction of days (those 19) in which, if someone bought Bitcoin at that moment (likely during a price peak), they are still at a loss if they hold it until today.

That’s why the percentage is not 100% but 99.6%.

The statement refers to the idea that if the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, eventually even those who bought on the most expensive days will also end up in profit… and at that moment, the percentage of profitable days will return to 100%.

✅ *In summary:*

It shows how strong the strategy of buying and holding Bitcoin long-term is, highlighting that only in 0.4% of historical time would it not have been profitable, which is unusual for any financial asset.
