Well the answer is definitely Bitcoin with hindsight. Would be 1400% up if held from date of OP to now - $80k into $1.1 mill

Yeah the value has gone down but value has gone down if you buy another place as well

Basically every blue chip stock is cheap atm due to macroeconomic influences. As I don't hold any I hope they get cheaper as well
