Historical Bitcoin crashes

YearFrom → ToCrashNeeded for break-even
2011$32$2-94%~1'467%
2014$1'100$170-85%~567%
2018$19'700$3'200-84%~516%
2022$69'000$15'500-78%~345%

Bitcoin recovered every single time — but it took 1-3 years. Those who sold at -80% are still waiting.

Avoid crashes instead of recovering from them?

Our bot moves to cash before the crash hits. Not perfect — but better than sitting through -78%.
