The YouTube algorithm pushed this video to my feed today and I find this type of experiment interesting.

The creator is replacing his daily coffee purchase of $5.00 and splitting it into two retail behemoths in Costco and Amazon. $2.50 a day into each of the stocks using the Robinhood app.

Started on July 3, 2023 to Sept. 27 2024 $2.50 was invested 313 times for a total of $782.50

Amazon has a market value of $930.34 good for a return of 18.89%

Costco has a market value of $1,034.83 good for a return of 32.25

Both stocks together have a return of 25.57%

Not too shabby. Now let’s see how this performed against bitcoin in the same timeframe

Using (https://www.bitcoindollarcostaverage.com/)

And a weekly allocation since they don’t have daily.

Bitcoin returns 4.63% Good for over 1M sats!!!

This is a really short time frame and the stock market has been bullish over this time frame. Thus it’s no shock that it is outperforming Bitcoin.

But as you zoom out the time frame Bitcoin crushes the market. I am running my own experiment with bitcoin versus stocks picked by Motley Fool. With that experiment Bitcoin is crushing that basket of stocks since the experiment started in Sept. 2021.

This approach to investing is purely about accumulating more fiat. I doubt the creator is buying equity in these companies for reasons beyond making more fiat because why would they? Investing in 2024 is all bout increasing your fiat stack at all costs.

But owning equities is one of the hallmarks of having a capitalist system. Thus it is fun to look into equities and run these experiments.
