Wouldn't this need to know what I actually did instead? When I use it, it tells me that the form was incomplete. I tried to figure out how much I regret having bought 0 bitcoin so far. Perhaps needs a better error message? I think it actually doesn't like the zero, but prevents it doesn't like incomplete data. Zero is also a number. > CAUSALITY_ERROR: You cannot SELL before you BUY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor…
My question is, why would you do that to yourself? Living with regrets of the past that would never have been, anyway, seems like a recipe for sadness and despair. Maybe my sense of fun or humor or whatever is off, but I just don't get doing this to yourself, man. You could have hooked into them and thought $1,000 is the highest it'll go and sold them all them. Who knows‽ No offense meant. Just my two Satoshis.
But you are 100% right about the $1k mark. In reality, almost none of us would have held to the top. We would have sold the moment it doubled, bought new iphone and felt like geniuses. That's the reality this calculator conveniently ignores for the sake of the joke!
Appreciate your two Satoshis!
In terms of feedback: - need BTC prices pre 2014 to really feel the pain - The date format for earliest date available is different to the date format then used in the input below
The first thing one has to do when analysing past money decisions is to judge the decision based on the information available at the time. I too watched from the sidelines as btc, nvda and others went to the moon. But with the information available at the time, investing in those was not a sound strategy.

Regarding the date format - it can really cause confusion. Let me explaine. The "calculator" date format is "YYYY-MM-DD" (ISO 8601). But the input field's date format adapts based on your device settings. For better UX.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would you have $100k now or would you have sold it when it tripled to $3000 because that would've felt like a really good return already, though?
Yeah this is the story I tell myself to make me feel better. I may well have even more regret! Or thought I was an investment genius and invested loads more and then sold it at a bad time.
...or alternatively, you live a decent life without associating with any of this.

There are plenty of people that thought WeWork would go to the moon, too.
