My friends kept telling me that bitcoin was 'too expensive' to buy now, and that they had 'missed the chance' to buy it. In response, I made this tool to show them the opportunity cost of not buying bitcoin, compared to recent tech IPOs.

I made this simple bitcoin opportunity cost calculator because I believe the framework my friends use to assess bitcoin is wrong. They all anchor on the recent price movements and say 'Ahh, I missed the run up, it's too late to buy in now' - so they don't. Sound familiar? Using this tool, you can calculate the opportunity cost, in terms of both money and (more importantly) your time, of not buying bitcoin, by comparing it to any of the top 50 tech IPOs of the last decade. This should help your friends to see that simply buying bitcoin has been, and likely will continue to be, the best financial strategy going forward (even at current prices). Bitcoin = $1trn market cap. Gold = $10trn market cap. US M2 Money Supply = $20 trn. We are still extremely early. If you like this tool, please share it!

Hi Nathan, Great idea !!! Nice to see how quickly we can get numbers and returns on Bitcoin investment. Even my company is considering giving Bitcoin as an EOSDo u think I need to accept the offer?

I am always trying to find a new way to make money as I want to spend my retirement lying on the white sand and sunbathing. I recently searched for options where I could invest money to make money. I found Bitcoin Lifestyle site and liked the idea and execution. I hope this venture will be a success and I will be able to make money from this site.

Idea nicely presented
