Mark Moss explains the Rule of 72, which shows how wealth doubles at predictable intervals. A 20% annual return doubles money every 3.5 years, turning $1 million into $128 million through repeated doublings. Linear thinking about investing misses how compounding accelerates over time.
the human mind thinks linear like this. So if I continue to save and if I continue to invest, I start with $100,000 and maybe I end up with $1 million over here. But that's not how the law of compounding works. The law of compounding can be summed up pretty simply, and we use something called the rule of 72. So we take the yield that we earn and we divide it by 72. So let's just say hypothetically Bitcoin's 200 moving day average is about a 30% CAGR, compound annual growth rate. Let's just call it 20% just for easy numbers. So I have a 20% compound annual growth rate divided 7, 2 equals 3.5 years. So what that means is my wealth doubles every 3.5 years. So if I start with $1 million, in 3.5 years it's $2 million, and then it's $4 million, and then it's $8 million, and then it's $16 million, and then it's $32 million, and then it's $64 million, and then it's $128 million. And my wealth starts going parabolic. What this means is at the same time it took me to go 3 years here, also took me 3 years here.
