Savings account vs. AEX vs. Bitcoin

When you look at how much you could earn by investing in cryptocurrencies, you can really see the difference.
Bitcoin performed exceptionally well in 2024, rising 135%. In 2020, it rose by as much as 270%. But then again, the price fell by 62% in 2022. It was a wild ride.
AEX shares, a basket of large Dutch companies, returned around 14.5% in 2024. In 2022, they fell 11.6%. Over five years, the return was 5.4%.
Savings? In 2020, you received only 0.04% interest. Three years ago, it was even less. You only recently started receiving a little more, but that doesn't compensate for inflation.
Anyone who just saves is missing out on a significant return.
Risk or certainty?
Despite this, many people prefer to keep their money in a safe account. This makes sense, as the Dutch are frugal and cautious. But this means you're limiting your finances.
Your savings are barely growing, and because companies are struggling to raise investment capital, the economy is also growing more slowly. This is especially difficult for startups.#August Market Prediction #Content Mining & Earn Rich Commission #July Spark Program TOP 10 Creators Announced #Fed Holds Rates Decision #White House Crypto Report
