How much is an investment of 1000 dollars in gold worth now, 10 years later?
Directly to the data: The average gold price 10 years ago was $1,158/ounce, now it is $2,744/ounce, an increase of 136%. That means your $1,000 has now turned into $2,360, with an average annual return of 13.6%.
Sounds good? Let's compare: during the same period, the S&P 500 increased by 174%, averaging 17.4% per year. Moreover, the S&P also has dividends.
Why do some people still buy gold? Gold does not generate income; it is merely a store of value. However, it has a magical quality – during stock market crashes

Bezos has a net worth of $236.3 billion. Giving every American $100 would only cost $34.2 billion, leaving $202.1 billion. This is equivalent to shedding 15% of his wealth, yet he remains the fourth richest person in the world.
If you are a little more generous, giving each person $500 is not a problem; after spending 171 billion, there is still 65.3 billion left. Compare this to an average person: he earns $3,715 per second, while a full-time employee in the U.S. earns only $1,194 per week—which means that what Bezos earns in less than a second is what an average person has to work an entire

How much is the gold worth now that I bought for 1000 yuan 10 years ago?
Directly in numbers: 10 years ago, the average gold price was $1158.86/oz, now it is $2744.67/oz, an increase of 136%. In other words, that $1000 is now worth about $2360.
At first glance, it looks good, but compared to the S&P 500 index of the US stock market, which has risen 174% over the past 10 years with an annualized return of 17.4% (not including dividends). Gold, although it has an annualized return of 13.6%, has much greater volatility.
Interestingly, gold has completely different properties—stocks and real estat

How much is 1000 dollars worth of gold bought ten years ago now? Let's do the math.
Ten years ago, the average price of gold was $1158.86/ounce, now it is $2744.67/ounce — an increase of 136%, with an average annual return of 13.6%. By this calculation, your $1000 is now worth $2360.
Sounds good? But compare it to the stock market: the S&P 500 rose 174% during the same period, with an annualized return of 17.41%. Adding in dividends, stocks leave gold in the dust.
Interestingly, the volatility of gold is even fiercer than that of the stock market. In the 1970s, it had an annualized increas

Ten years of gold price rise compared to the stock market: How much is your k yuan gold bar worth now?

In recent years, gold prices have risen by 136%, but compared to the 174% return of U.S. stocks, gold's performance is lacking.

Investors are advised to allocate 10-15% of their investments to gold to balance investment risks.

XRP vs SHIB: Who can make you rich overnight?

The crypto market has been a bit awkward this year. After Trump won the election in November, the crypto world had a brief celebration, but most coins are currently in a correction.
Current Status Comparison Overview
XRP (the fourth largest coin globally) has only risen by 6.5% this year, underperforming the US stock market. SHIB (the 24th largest coin) is even worse, having fallen by 58% this year. This market trend is indeed unfriendly.
XRP's comeback: Can it become a killer application for payment layers?
XRP has already consumed the policy dividend. The SEC has a new leadership team, and Ripple's old lawsuit has finally concluded. Spot XRP

# Can SHIB really rise to 1 dollar? Mathematics will tell you the answer.
Last year, SHIB rose more than 45 million times, you've heard the legend of going from $3 to $1 million, right? And now? It has fallen by 90%, with the price stuck at $0.000008, and it hasn't reached a new high since 2021.
Want to rise to 1 dollar? It needs to surge 12.5 million times. Sounds crazy? The math is even crazier—
The current total circulation of SHIB is 589.2 billion pieces, and the current market value is calculated to be 4.8 billion dollars. If it really rises to 1 dollar, the market value would so

# Can SHIB Reach 1 Dollar? Math Tells You How Absurd It Is
Shiba Inu coin fans have always dreamed of SHIB reaching 1 dollar, but reality may be disheartening.
The current price of SHIB is $0.000008, and it needs to increase 12.5 million times to reach $1. Although SHIB did rise 45 million times in 2021, this time is different.
**Key issue in supply**: Currently, there are 589.2 billion SHIB in circulation. If it truly rises to 1 dollar, the total market value would soar to 58.92 trillion dollars - which is 5 times higher than the global GDP and 10 times more than the total value of the S&P 5

Can SHIB reach 1 dollar? Forget it, math won't lie to you.

The miracle of SHIB in 2021
Do you remember? Those who bought SHIB in 2021 made a fortune. Just investing 3 dollars could turn into 1 million by the end of the year. A return rate of 45,278,000%—this number is so huge that no one can imagine it. But it's like winning the lottery; after the thrill, you have to pay the debts. By mid-2022, SHIB had dropped more than 90%, and now it hovers around 0.000008 dollars.
How much is needed to rise to 1 dollar?
Let's do some simple math: going from 0.000008 to 1 dollar requires a surge of 12,500,000%. Sounds crazy? SHIB has indeed done crazier things. But the problem is - math doesn't lie.
The supply is the deadliest poison.
This is the fundamental reason why SHIB will never reach 1 dollar.
There are currently 589.2 trillion SHIB in circulation, with a market value of 4.8 trillion dollars. If each one really rises to 1 dollar, the total market

# SHIB vs SOL: Which one to hold long-term?
Shiba Inu Coin ( SHIB ) has had a tough year. Over the past 12 months, it has dropped more than 60%, while the entire crypto market has rebounded in 2025, which is quite a difference. Recently, there have also been issues like developers leaving and security vulnerabilities in the Shibarium bridge; now, only the community's enthusiasm is holding it up.
**Where is the problem?** SHIB is essentially a meme coin with no real use. It's hard to predict when it will turn around, or even if it can turn around at all.
**The benchmarking plan is here

Can SHIB reach 1 dollar? Stop dreaming, let me do the math for you.
Someone asked if SHIB2026 can reach 1 dollar. Let's do the math. The current price of SHIB is 0.000008 dollars, with a circulation of 589.2 billion coins, so it needs to rise 12.5 million times to reach 1 dollar. Sounds crazy, right? It did happen in 2021 – invested 3 bucks and made a million in a year.
But this is the problem:

**Kohl's: A Value Lair Unexpectedly Discovered by Meme Traders**
In 2025, the retail stock Kohl's unexpectedly became popular. Interestingly, this time it wasn't the traditional retail investors buying the dip story - but rather a bizarre combination of value investors and meme traders.
The data is quite interesting: the current market value is only 176 million USD, but the real estate alone has a book value of 9.44 billion USD. In other words, the company's property value has already **far exceeded the entire market value** — this is rare in the US stock market.

Want to double your savings by 2026? Financial blogger Humphrey Yang offers 6 tough tips, and the key is not to skimp on that $5 at Starbucks, but to tackle the major expenses.
His core logic: Rent, transportation, insurance, and food account for 80% of household expenses, and small changes can save big money. For example, he personally negotiated rent discounts by signing a long-term lease + 2 weeks of free rent, which can save a considerable amount in a year. Insurance is the same; by making a few calls to compare quotes, many people can save $300-500 a year, but too many are too lazy to do
