📈 Bitcoin Price Projections (Power Law)
What this shows: Expected Bitcoin price from now through your retirement. Three lines show different scenarios: Trend (most likely), Floor (conservative/bear market), Ceiling (optimistic/bull market).
How to use: This helps you understand price assumptions in the calculator. The trend line is what we use for BTC needed calculations.
💰 Bitcoin Balance during Retirement
What this shows: Your BTC holdings year-by-year during retirement as you withdraw for living expenses. Three scenarios show if Bitcoin grows faster (optimistic), slower (conservative), or as expected (trend).
How to use: Check if your balance stays positive throughout retirement. If any line hits zero, you'll need more BTC at retirement start.
💵 Annual Living Expenses in Retirement
What this shows: Your living costs each year during retirement, growing with inflation. This is what you'll need to withdraw annually.
How to use: See how inflation impacts your needs over time. Higher inflation rates create steeper curves.
