A 10-year 21x increase review: Why Bitcoin and Ethereum have become long-term value storage options

【Crypto World】A review of the market over the past ten years reveals how crazy the gains of Bitcoin and Ethereum have been—total increases of over 21,000%. Specifically, starting from January 2016, Bitcoin skyrocketed by 24,700%, and Ethereum was not to be outdone, achieving a 21,900% increase.

Why is Bitcoin so valuable? Many people consider it “digital gold.” When the global economy is shaky and policies are chaotic, it becomes a safe-haven asset. Michael Saylor from MicroStrategy has even made bold statements, believing that Bitcoin could reach $21 million in the next twenty years.

Ethereum’s situation is also quite good. Its entire blockchain ecosystem is very rich, especially in the DeFi sector. During some market cycles, Ethereum has even outperformed Bitcoin, with such cases occurring as early as 2020.

Of course, both of these coins have cyclical patterns, and volatility is inevitable. But in the long term, whether for value storage or ecological applications, they are considered good options for long-term holdings.
