The power of early crypto investing
Bitcoin started 2013 near $13 and Ethereum started 2016 under $1. Even modest amounts placed early could have grown into life-changing sums, which is exactly why "what if I had invested" is one of the most searched questions in crypto. This calculator lets you run the numbers for any year, instantly, with today's live price. It's a reminder of both the upside and the volatility: the same asset that soared has also seen brutal drawdowns of 70%+ along the way.

Are the historical prices exact?
They reflect the approximate market price on January 1 of each year and are for illustration. Current values use live prices from CoinGecko. This is not financial advice.
