    I spent 20 years of my adult life on a cold and calculating lifestyle (as you described), I can’t say that I was unhappy, but one morning I woke up and realized that everything tha…

    Ah, the classic "99% of gamblers quit right before they win big" mindset! :) But honestly, your second point is the ultimate truth. Ignorance truly is bliss. The happiest people ar…

    You are 100% right about survivorship bias. That's actually exactly why the calculator already supports a status "BULLET DODGED"!

    You are 100% right about pre-2014 BTC. Any suggestion where to download trusted prices? Regarding the date format - it can really cause confusion. Let me explaine. The "calculator"…

    By the way, a "Reverse Mode" (calculating the initial stake needed to hit exactly $1M) is actually a brilliant idea. But to your underlying point - it's the hard truth. People ofte…
