What would your investment have been worth?

  • Bitcoin
  • Gold
  • Mag 7 stocks
  • S&P 500

Silver, crude oil, real estate, Ethereum, Solana and XRP, too. Same money, same dates, one axis — read in plain dollars.

Bitcoin, today$340,914
Ethereum, from Nov '17$24,587
S&P 500$18,523
Gold$17,625
US housing$10,003
Logarithmic · USD portfolio value$50/mo · real daily & historical prices, 2015 → today
Exhibit — $50 invested every month since January 2015 (about $7,100 in), in five of the 22 assets the simulator covers, on one logarithmic dollar axis. Ethereum joins in November 2017, when its price history begins ($5,350 in). Real prices; hover the chart to read any month, or change the range.

“Same dollars in. Same measure out. The only variable left is the asset.”

The whole idea, in one line
The method

How do you put a house and a Bitcoin on the same axis?

You can't buy a corner of a house each week — but you can measure one. Every contribution buys a fractional unit: dollars ÷ that day's price. Multiply your accumulated units by today's price and you have today's value, always in dollars. The same math runs for Bitcoin, gold, an index and a housing series alike — so they finally share one axis.

Each buy$50
Day's price$314
Units0.159 ₿
Units heldΣ 4.0938
Last close$83.3k
Value$340,914

Dollars → units → units × the last close → dollars. Nothing here is Bitcoin-specific.

The same $7,100, expressed as the units it actually bought:

What it reads that a plain calculator can't.

Compare

Every asset, one axis

Bitcoin against Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, silver, crude oil, real estate and the indices — normalized to the same dollars in.

Pro
Real returns

After inflation, not before

Overlay the CPI purchasing-power line and read what your dollars actually kept — not just the nominal number.

Pro
Overlays

Trend & sentiment, in the chart

The Mayer Multiple on Pro, and Fear & Greed on any free account — both drawn right on your DCA curve, not stranded on a separate page.

Pro
Smart DCA

Weight your buys, then check it

Set a rule — one signal, two thresholds, a multiplier per band — and read it against flat, mechanical buying. The defaults barely move the cost.

Scenarios

Up to five at once

Daily versus monthly, Bitcoin versus Ethereum versus metals versus indices — full strategies side by side on one chart.

Free
Trade regret

The cost of flinching

Model a panic-sell and a later re-buy, and see exactly what it cost versus holding the line. History runs back to 2000.

Return is only half the reading

The highest return isn't the smoothest ride.

Bitcoin's 60.7% a year scored below gold and the S&P on a risk-adjusted basis, and Ethereum's 32.7% scored lower still, even against Bitcoin over the same years — the exact trade-off Pro's Sharpe and Sortino readouts put a number on, for any strategy you build.

What Pro is for

Picture yourself actually using it.

Is a house really the safer bet?

Overlay your state's housing index against Bitcoin and the S&P on the very same dollars, and let the chart settle it.

Real estate
What did inflation quietly take?

Turn on the CPI line and read your gains in real purchasing power, instead of nominal dollars that look bigger than they spend.

Inflation
How rough was the ride?

Sharpe and Sortino score the volatility you actually lived through, so two strategies compare on more than the finish line.

Risk-adjusted
Could timing the cycle have helped?

Set a buy rule — a signal, two thresholds, a multiplier per band — and the engine measures it against buying the same amount, blindly, every time. Usually it barely moves the cost. Sometimes it makes it worse.

Smart DCA
What would panic have cost me?

Model selling near the bottom and buying back later, measured precisely against the discipline of simply holding the line.

Trade regret
Which thesis actually wins?

Run five full strategies at once — different assets, cadences and date ranges — and compare them head to head on one axis.
