When using the Bitcoin return calculator, there are only a few choices, but any small adjustments can have major impacts on your performance.

We are investing Options Beginning Investment): ($the dollar amount on the' Starting Date' invested in bitcoin.

Starting date: The date of the first acquisition of the bitcoins.

End Date: Sold the date bitcoins, or a day to estimate the value of the holding bitcoin.

Inflation Adjustment (CPI): If tested, the investment return percentages and terminal value are adjusted to account for inflation by CPI-U. We use linear extrapolation to estimate the inflation for dates later than the last document. We use interpolation for the dates between readings.

Total Return (per cent): total return on the investment in Bitcoin when purchased on the' Start Date' and sold on the' End Date.' (CPI-adjusted if selected.)

 Annualized Return (percentage): Unlike total return, Bitcoin return on investment is standardized to yield annual returns. (Again, CPI-adjusted if selected.) 

Ending Value): ($Bitcoin investment terminal value on the' End Date.' (Adjusted CPI once more, if checked).

Adjusted CPI? Flags an improvement of the CPI in fields of return and income.
