What happened
$100 invested every month in Solana since January 2021, $6,900 in total, would be worth $26,735 in September 2026, an annual return of +48.3%.
It was not a straight line: between November 2021 and December 2022, Solana lost −95.2% of its value. The result above assumes you held everything through that fall.
That beats the same investment in the MSCI World, which would have returned $10,491: the bet on Solana paid off over this period.
Left in US Treasury bills, the money would have grown to $7,768.
Best calendar year: 2021 (+11,171.4%). Worst year: 2022 (−94.2%).

What this calculation does not tell you.
Hindsight bias
Picking Nvidia or Bitcoin today means picking known winners. Back then, nothing set them apart from hundreds of assets that went nowhere or vanished.
Holding on was the real test
The result assumes you never sold, including through the drawdowns shown above. Very few investors actually do.
The broad market, no bet required
The MSCI World never makes headlines, but it does not require guessing the winner. It is the fairest yardstick for any pick.
