Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €41,408 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +97.7%.

Lump sum instead — €31,100 all at once in Oct 2000: €76,016 (+144.4%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2021): €8,083 on €6,200 invested (+30.4%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.
