The goal of this experiment is to showcase how buying bitcoin and holding can beat stock picking. Motley Fool is pretty well known in the investment space and they charge customers are good amount of fiat for access to their stock selections. Years ago I got a free offer via my credit card to try Motley Fool’s stock advisor product for one year. Using a simple dollar cost averaging strategy (DCA) of $100 a month ($50 to Stock Advisor and $50 to Bitcoin) I purchased their recommended stocks and bought bitcoin. The results are below.

Not much movement from the last quarter. Bitcoin has been sideways to down during this last quarter. The DCA is staying strong at $50 per month which is good for over 6.5M sats. The price targets for Bitcoin by the end of the year is between $200k to $250k if that happens then the return on this DCA will be even better!

Wow! This portfolio is not performing well at all. It is down 8% from the pervious quarter. Most of these companies are down. The one that is the most surprising is Adobe! It is a great company that is very profitable but due to AI investors think this company is doomed which is crazy to think.

What more can you say! Bitcoin is up 186% Stock Advisor is only up 20%. Bitcoin is the best savings technology humanity has ever created! The longer this goes on the more proof people don’t need to put their dollars at risk in the stock market.

9/13/2021 — — — > 4,468.72 9/28/2025 — — — > 6,643.70 Return of 48.67%

9/13/2021 — — — — -> 34,869.63 9/28/2025 — — — — -> 46,247.29 Return of 32.62%

9/13/2021 — — — — > 13,105.58 9/28/2025 — — — — ->22,484.07 Return of 71.5%

The passive investor is doing great! The 401(k) and TSP holders must be delighted seeing their dollar balances explode up over the last 4 year but all of these investments are lagging Bitcoin. Dumping your retirement accounts and buying Bitcoin on 9/13/2021 would have protected your purchasing power and outperform any passive investor who just buys index funds. Bitcoin is what humanity needed to preserve its savings! Not the future expected cash flows of private companies. The stock market should go back to being a place for investors not savers!
