Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $4,574 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -70.2%.

Lump sum instead — $3,900 all at once in Aug 2020: $1,340 (-65.6%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Apr 2021): $1,101 on $3,100 invested (-64.5%).

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

About POL (ex-MATIC)

POL (ex-MATIC) (POL) is a cryptocurrency categorised under layer 1, with a market cap of about $999M.

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 (3.7/5).

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.7/5.

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.

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