Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $8,882 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +77.7%.

Lump sum instead — $7,900 all at once in Feb 2020: $21,960 (+178.0%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): $687.15 on $700 invested (-1.8%).

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.

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.

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