Every touch of the 200-week line since 1996 — 80 of them — with what happened 1, 2 and 3 years later. $100 a week into Bitcoin for 10 years: $52K in, $547K out. Why the famous Vanguard lump-sum study is true and still doesn’t apply to your paycheck. Where the strategy actually LOST (Microsoft’s dead decade), and the one rule that decides whether the 5x buy helps or hurts. As of recording, one of the six assets is sitting exactly on its 200-week line.

Backtest method: weekly closes, split-adjusted, dividends not modeled; sources Yahoo Finance and Bitstamp; computed 2026-08-15. Every number in this video is generated from that dataset — nothing is estimated from memory.
