Context

2017 was Ethereum’s ICO boom year. ETH started the year under $10 and ended above $700 — early 2017 entries captured the bulk of that move and survived multiple subsequent cycles.

Why this matters

A simple buy-and-hold result like this is only one outcome of many. Real investors make decisions over time — they take profits, they panic-sell, they buy more on dips. The scenario builder lets you test those decisions on the same data and see how they would have changed your final outcome.
