This is fun but also pointless. There’s no guarantee you would have made any money. And the model assumes that you’d buy and hold this whole time.

So if you’re looking at this and beating yourself up...don’t.

As the developer I couldn't agree more - it's pointless... but hopefully a little bit of fun along the way.

Isn't that what the internet is for?

Totally! I’m not knocking the site itself which I think is super cool. But these “what if” games are very dangerous.

There’s a term in economics for it...when you think you’ve lost something that you never even had.

Right. I know about a dozen people who had a lot of bitcoins back in 2011 / 12 timeframe. None of them held on to it and are beating themselves up now.
