What is the DQYDJ Historical ROI Tool?
DQYDJ (Don't Quit Your Day Job) is a respected finance and data science blog. Their Bitcoin return calculator is a scholarly tool that uses high-quality historical data.
It is unique because it allows for inflation-adjusted (real) return calculations, giving investors a much clearer picture of purchasing power changes than nominal price charts.

- ✓Custom date range selection from Bitcoin's earliest days
- ✓Annualized return (CAGR) calculations for long-term holding
- ✓Comparison benchmarks against traditional finance indices
- ✓Visualized growth of a hypothetical starting investment
Usage Constraints
✕Focuses on historical data, not future price forecasting
