In this monologue, Ben Simpson argues that investors should adopt the same long‑term perspective for Bitcoin that they use for property. He points out that property investors typically think in 10‑year horizons, whereas crypto investors frequently check prices multiple times a day and react panic‑driven to volatility. Simpson backs his claim with a five‑year performance chart: Australian property delivered an average cumulative return of 48.2%, while Bitcoin surged about 900%, an 800% outperformance. He acknowledges a 60% drawdown in Bitcoin’s price, noting that many investors sell during such drops, but stresses that holding through volatility yields superior long‑term growth compared to stable assets like property. The overall message is a persuasive call to maintain conviction and treat Bitcoin as a long‑term store of value.

When people invest in property, they always think for the long term, 10 years plus. But when they get into Bitcoin and crypto, they're checking the prices 3 times a day and they make panicked, poor decisions when there's volatility. But volatility is a part of the game. And here's the chart to showcase to you the outperformance if you just held Bitcoin over the past 5 years. Cumulatively, and this is data backed online from verified sources, over the last 5 years, cumulatively, property has returned on average 48.2% in Australia, while Bitcoin cumulatively is up 900%. That's an 800% outperformance. Now you will see here, there was a big drop in Bitcoin here. It went down 60%. Most people panic and most people sell here. But if you hold through and you have conviction, the long-term growth for Bitcoin always outperforms stable assets like property.
