The last five years have rewritten the rules of investing. In a world of relentless change, where inflation bites, markets wobble, and new technologies redefine value, investors everywhere are asking the same critical question:

“Where is my money best placed for the next five years?”

This newsletter delivers the answers!

We dissect the five-year performance of major global asset classes—measuring returns, risk, and liquidity in USD terms—while placing a spotlight on one undeniable truth:

Cryptocurrencies have not just entered the arena... they’ve outperformed nearly everything in it.

We go beyond the hype to present hard data, historical returns, volatility profiles, and future outlooks. 

If you're serious about building wealth and want practical, data-backed insights into the future of investing, this is your blueprint.


Crypto Outperformance:

From 2019 to 2024, Bitcoin and Ethereum achieved remarkable returns, far surpassing traditional assets. Bitcoin’s 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was approximately 67–90%, compared to gold’s ~9–13%. Ethereum recorded a 5-year CAGR of ~84%. In contrast, the S&P 500 delivered a 5-year return of ~96.7%, equating to a CAGR of ~14.5%.

This performance highlights cryptocurrency growth, roughly 4–13x that of global equities, cementing their dominance over conventional investments during this period.
