If You Invested $100 in Shiba Inu 1 Year Ago, Here’s How Much You’d Have Now
For well over a century, the stock market has been known as one of the world’s greatest wealth creators. Its long-term average annual return handily surpasses other investment vehicles, such as bonds, housing, and commodities (e.g., gold and oil).
But over the past couple of years, cryptocurrencies have lapped the return of the broader market many times over.

That was enough to make investors who’d put a little over $2 to work at midnight on Jan. 1 millionaires.
But even if investors didn’t precisely buy at midnight on Jan. 1, they’re doing extremely well if they bought early in the year and are still hanging onto some portion of their investment.
For example, exactly a year ago, as of Feb. 6, CoinGecko.com notes that SHIB closed at $0.000000008264. This means it gained more than 11,200% in the first 37 days of 2021. But if crypto investors looked past this huge gain and bought in at the Feb. 6 close, they’d currently be sitting on a return of 277,611% one year later. Put another way, […]
