Bitcoin, priced in real things.
Forget the dollar chart for a moment. The honest question is: how many loaves of bread, pints of milk, houses, or salaries does one Bitcoin actually buy today — and what would a small monthly habit have grown into?
What does Bitcoin actually cost?
Numbers in pounds drift. Inflation eats them, exchange rates shake them. Real goods are steadier yardsticks. Each card below says the same thing two ways: how many of the thing one Bitcoin will buy, and how many satoshis (hundred-millionths of a BTC) the thing costs.
If you'd put a little aside every month…
The most boring strategy works. Adjust the monthly amount and the start month — we'll show what that same habit would be worth today, alongside putting it in a UK savings account or buying the FTSE 100. All figures in pounds, contributions on the first of each month.
Past performance is not a guide to future results. Real-world fees, taxes, and bid/ask spreads aren't modelled. FTSE 100 returns ignore reinvested dividends. Cash uses simple monthly compounding on the rate you set.
