Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $12,432 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +694.0%.

Lump sum instead — $10,600 all at once in Nov 2017: $354,822 (+3247.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Nov 2024): $1,142 on $2,200 invested (-48.1%).

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

About Dogecoin

Dogecoin is an open-source digital currency based on the "Doge" meme that functions as a peer-to-peer medium for fast payments and digital tipping. Unlike projects backed by corporate entities, its value is driven by a global community, and the project is managed by a decentralized group of volunteers and the non-profit Dogecoin Foundation rather than a formal company. Originally created in 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a market parody, the project held no public sale or venture capital rounds. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under meme, with a market cap of about $12.9B.

It rates Medium-High Risk at 2.3/5, meaning real but ordinary risk — the kind most mainstream assets carry, with some factors scoring poorly.

What pushes the score up: market / volatility (3.3/5) and systemic / correlation (3.0/5).

Scoring well: regulatory at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: governance / team. 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.
