What if you invested at Bitcoin's first ₩100M day?
This uses real historical data to show what would have happened if you had made a lump-sum investment on March 11, 2024 — the day Bitcoin first crossed 100 million Korean won — and held it until now.
⚠️ Know the risk first
Bitcoin has repeatedly corrected 30–50% even right after record highs. This date was no exception, so check the maximum drawdown and loss period below first.
What happened that day
On March 11, 2024, Bitcoin's price on Korean exchanges crossed 100 million won for the first time. U.S. spot-ETF approvals drew institutional money, the '100-million-won coin' became a talking point, and many people jumped in late on the record-high news — a symbolic day.
Why this date
To model the most common investor behavior — 'buying late after a record-high headline' — we set the assumed purchase to the very day Bitcoin first crossed 100 million won.

Why this period and asset
March 11, 2024 was the day Bitcoin's Korean-won price crossed 100 million won for the first time. After U.S. spot-ETF approvals pulled in capital, the phrase 'a 100-million-won coin' filled the news and social feeds, and many people considered buying only after seeing that record-high headline. Entering at a record high also means entering when things are hottest.
Interpreting the result
Buying on a record-high day means chasing a price that has already risen sharply. In the metrics below, review the current value versus total invested and the XIRR — but always read them alongside the maximum drawdown and loss period. Bitcoin routinely gives back tens of percent even right after a record, so shifting the entry date only slightly changes the result dramatically.
Caveats & limits
Figures use an adjusted basis and exclude trading fees, taxes, and exchange rates. Bitcoin is an extreme-volatility asset, with deep corrections recurring even after record highs. This is the result of one past date only, guarantees nothing about the future, and recommends no investment.

Is buying at a record high risky?
