According to Whale Alert, as of this writing the average profit per BTC is at an all-time high of $67,088.
“The Potential Profit Per Token chart shows the potential profit holders could make per token if they sold at a specific time,” explains the Whale Alert website. Whale Alert has additional calculations on this metric which can be found here.
To put that into perspective, this is higher than the average American salary in 2024, which is $62,027. Imagine seeing your savings grow and exceed your annual salary just for owning one bitcoin.
Every day you trade hours of your working life for money (fiat for the most part). You constantly work harder and harder for that currency to always depreciate in purchasing power, forcing you to work longer hours to compensate.
But Bitcoin turns this dynamic on its head. With bitcoin, you work (exchanging your time for money) and then watch that money grow in value instead of losing value.
People can then use that extra purchasing power that Bitcoin gives them to buy a house or car, afford college tuition, work less and/or spend more time with their family, etc. The options for how to spend your time and money open up. much more as a result of buying and owning bitcoin and, for me, that is true financial freedom.
This is just another reason why using bitcoin as a savings vehicle is so important. It allows people to become financially free and secure their future.
And this is just the beginning. Over time, bitcoin is set to rise even higher than its current price of $100,000, offering investors the opportunity to further increase their purchasing power and thus have more time to follow their passions and interests.
And all you have to do is bitcoin consistently, secure it, and HODL. Even if you don’t own an entire bitcoin, you are still benefiting from the dynamic of your purchasing power improving over time, and the more you can add to your stack, the more this will be the case.
Every person on the planet can now create their own bitcoin reserve, watch it grow, and choose how to spend the time they have freed up for themselves.
