@ICONOMI added a very nice performance metric: "the annualised return." This is a common metric used to compare the performance of investments.
To ensure a like-for-like comparison, make sure to look at similar periods of time. It tells you how the value of your asset (e.g., in USD) increased or decreased per year on average.
The Value Token started in July 2019, more than 4.5 years ago. The value in EUR stands at +691%. The annualised return is approximately 55% per year over ~4.5 years. We can now compare this to, for example, the US Stock Market. The 5-year annualized return (including dividends) is 14.68% . In the last 5 years, the Value Token has outperformed the US Stock Market by more than 3x in terms of annualised return.
The "cost" is the volatility and the risk you are willing to accept on the journey. The maximum drawdown of the Value Token was 85.5% in these 4.5 years compared to 20% of the S&P.
Crypto is still a much smaller and younger market than traditional finance. But if you believe in $BTC, the Value Token might be "worth a look," as the main focus of this strategy is to increase the amount of $BTC within the strategy. And this works quite well: last year $BTC increased its value versus the USD by 108%, whereas the Value Token grew by 159%.
