Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $10,705 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -43.4%.

Lump sum instead — $9,300 all at once in Dec 2018: $21,324 (+129.3%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Nov 2021): $2,934 on $5,800 invested (-49.4%).

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

About Cronos

Cronos is an institutional-grade, high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and integrated with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, designed as the backbone for open, compliant, and AI-accessible tokenized markets. It supports up to 60,000 transactions per second (TPS), 500ms block times, instant finality, and sub-$0.01 fees via Proof of Authority consensus. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under layer 1, with a market cap of about $2.7B.

It rates High Risk at 2.9/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: market / volatility (3.7/5) and regulatory (3.0/5).

Scoring well: governance / team at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration, smart contract / technical, custody / bridge. 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.
