📌 Price of Ethereum at the beginning of 2017
On January 1, 2017, the price of ETH was around $8.
🧮 Amount of Ethereum purchased
With an investment of $100 at a price of $8, you would have acquired approximately 12.5 ETH.

🧭 Notes
This calculation does not take into account fees, taxes, or price differences between platforms.
The worst-case scenario that occurred (such as the "flash crash" in June 2017) was momentary and did not affect the long-term buy-and-hold strategy.
Comparison to 2017: the price rose from ~ $7 to ~ $723–820 during the year, reflecting massive growth even before reaching the current profit levels.
✅ Conclusion
If you had invested $100 at the beginning of 2017 and held it until today, you would now have around $54,000 — a net profit of approximately $54,000.
