What a great post. I have always said, it is not what you make, but what you save that is important. And you are showing it is not so much you save, but what you invest in.
If you had just saved the 20k in USD, it would still just be 20K. But you put it in the right spot at the right time and saw eye popping growth! 10x in one year is amazing!
Savings in dollars ended in 1970. People were still investing in CDs back then and the dollar value of their investments went up, but then they were charged for capitol gains on the increase (which did not keep up with inflation). That is the biggest scam of all time. Taxing a nominal gain while the intrinsic value had never gone up.
If I had saved the 20k in cash, I would have lost almost $3,000 in purchasing power during the year. Holding cash is the worst investment.
Cash is my wife's favorite investment. !LOL
