Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $8,759 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -87.3%.
Lump sum instead — $7,500 all at once in Apr 2019: $7.52 (-99.9%) — DCA came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jun 2019): $1,114 on $7,300 invested (-84.7%).
Backtests use monthly closing prices. Stock dividends aren’t reinvested, so long-run equity returns are understated.

There isn’t enough researched data to give it an overall rating yet — only 43% of the scoring weight is backed by facts, below the 60% needed. The score shown is partial and covers only what’s known.
What pushes the score up: market / volatility (4.3/5).
Scoring well: systemic / correlation at 1.0/5.
Not yet researched: supply & concentration, smart contract / technical, custody / bridge, governance / team, regulatory. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.
