Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $12,432 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +644.1%.

Lump sum instead — $10,600 all at once in Nov 2017: $1,586,311 (+14865.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (May 2026): $405.44 on $400 invested (+1.4%).

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

About TRON

TRON is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system designed to accelerate the decentralization of the internet and its underlying infrastructure. It serves as a global settlement layer for stablecoins and everyday digital purchases, providing a high-throughput environment to support large-scale decentralized applications. The network is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which allows the community to manage the protocol without a central authority. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under layer 1, with a market cap of about $31.2B.

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: smart contract / technical (3.0/5) and regulatory (3.0/5).

Scoring well: governance / team at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration. 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.
