If I had decided to invest $1,000 in Bitcoin a decade ago, what would have been the initial cost of such a move? Would I have had to pay for transaction fees or mining costs? And given the volatile nature of the
cryptocurrency market, what would have been the potential risks and rewards of such an investment? Furthermore, how would the value of that $1,000 investment have fluctuated over the years, considering the meteoric rise and falls we've seen in Bitcoin's price? And finally, what would the current value of that investment be today, assuming I had held on to it without any trading or selling?

Now, let's consider a different scenario. If an investor had chosen to invest $100 in Bitcoin in 2012, when the price per bitcoin was $4.70, the potential returns become even more striking.
