Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $23,909 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +12.8%.

Lump sum instead — $18,700 all at once in Feb 2011: $19,454 (+4.0%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Apr 2015): $22,343 on $13,700 invested (+63.1%).

⚠ 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.
