Our saved prices start on August 29, 2020. We use daily prices from Coinbase and Binance for older days and from CoinGecko for recent ones. Before adding the older prices, we checked that they matched CoinGecko's on the days both cover. We save one price per day and update once a day, so figures won't match a live exchange exactly.

No. They compare prices only, so they leave out exchange fees, spreads, network fees and taxes. Those can add up, especially on small or frequent trades. To get closer to your real return, add your fees to the amount invested, or subtract them from the final value. Your exchange records will show exactly what you paid, and they're what count for taxes.

In the US, the IRS treats crypto as property. Selling PAXG, swapping it for another coin or spending it can trigger capital gains tax. If you held it for a year or less, gains are generally taxed as ordinary income. If you held it longer, lower long-term rates can apply. See the IRS digital assets page, and ask a tax professional about your situation.

We can't say whether it's right for you, and past prices don't predict future ones. Crypto can lose most of its value quickly, as the 29.7% fall above shows. Consider what the project does, who holds its supply, how much of your savings you could lose, and whether you could sell when you want to. Nothing here is investment advice.
