If you’d invested ₹4500 in Bitcoin in 2010, here’s how rich you’d be today

In its brief existence, Bitcoin has been hailed by some as the currency of the future and denounced by many as a ‘fad’ that never took off. But let the numbers talk for now – if you had had the intuition to invest, say $100 dollars, in Bitcoin back in 2010 (₹4500 approx by the exchange rate back then), today you would be worth a whopping $72 million (Rs 459 crore). That’s the kind of returns you could expect if Mark Zuckerberg had been your schoolmate and you had invested in Facebook when it was still a dorm room project. To emphasize how ridiculous that figure is, that’s a nearly 70,000 per cent return on investment.
