If you're holding as long as most people do index funds (i.e. 5-10+ years), historically you would have been way better off putting that money into bitcoin. Even taking this crash into account, I'm way up on crypto compared to my 401k. Not going to stop putting money into my 401k though, for the sake of diversification.

The bulk of btc gains were from 2010-2013. The cagr of BTC from early 2018 onwards is not that great.

Up 20x since 2018 is not that great?

Jan 1, 2018 BTC price was $13k. Price today is $41k.

Not 20x, that’s a little more than 3x.
