Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $12,432 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1546.6%.

Lump sum instead — $10,600 all at once in Nov 2017: $3,236,206 (+30430.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Oct 2025): $972.64 on $1,100 invested (-11.6%).

Backtests use monthly closing prices. Stock dividends aren’t reinvested, so long-run equity returns are understated.

About BNB

BNB is the native utility token of the BNB Chain ecosystem, acting as a multi-chain asset that powers decentralized applications and facilitates value exchange across its network. It serves as the primary asset for paying transaction gas and smart contract deployment fees while providing users with tiered fee discounts on the Binance exchange. The project’s main value proposition lies in its unified multi-chain architecture, which integrates a smart contract platform, a Layer 2 scaling solution, and a decentralized data storage network into a cohesive settlement and data availability layer. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under layer 1, with a market cap of about $91.5B.

It rates Medium-High Risk at 2.5/5, meaning real but ordinary risk — the kind most mainstream assets carry, with some factors scoring poorly.

What pushes the score up: regulatory (5.0/5) and systemic / correlation (3.0/5).

Scoring well: governance / team at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration, smart contract / technical. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
