I disagree with that chart. Oil, gold, bitcoin are not investments, they are commodities held for trading purposes. When I buy my bitcoin (0.1% of my portfolio) it is for diversity, testing the software, possible small future purchases that can’t be done any other way, etc. Not an “investment” in any sense.

Yes, impressive chart with impressive returns. Isn’t that how Bernie Madoff did it, offering gigantic, impossibly huge returns?
People always want to believe in something for nothing, that somehow they got it figured out, that they’re on the inside track, one of the special folks. Then comes the Day of Reckoning, and all those special folks looking for tall buildings to jump off of, wondering where it all went wrong. Something for nothing is the oldest scam in the world, and it works every time.
