Average "X Return" of the Top 10 Layer One... Blockchains =? SPECIAL NOTE: The current $PLS price from the PulseChain.com Ethereum fork including ERC20s network is approximately 72% lower than the original sacrifice price, meaning it is at 28% of the original sacrifice price. The original sacrifice price for PulseChain $PLS was set at a rate of $1 for 10,000 PLS, which equates to $0.0001 per PLS. The current price of $PLS, as of the latest available data, is approximately $0.000028 USD. Imagine going back in time and buying one of the Layer One Blockchains (listed below) not at their original price but at the same 72% discount that Pulsechain is currently at, BEFORE ITS FIRST EVER BULL RUN. The term "X Return" refers to the multiple of return on investment (ROI), indicating how many times an initial investment has increased in value. For the Top 10 Layer One Blockchains, foundational protocols such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others ranked by market capitalization and influence in 2025, this metric illustrates their remarkable historical growth. Bitcoin was launched on January 3, 2009, with the mining of the genesis block. It had no monetary value initially, as there were no exchanges to establish a price. The first recorded price came in October 2009, when 5,050 BTC were traded for $5.02, valuing each Bitcoin at roughly $0.0009. This translates to a staggering 120,961,832.33x return (or roughly 120 million percent) over approximately 16 years. Ethereum was launched on July 30, 2015, with its initial coin offering (ICO) in the summer of 2014, where 60 million Ether (ETH) were sold at approximately $0.311 per ETH, raising $18.3 million in Bitcoin. The first recorded exchange price in August 2015 was around $2.77, though it traded below $1 for months afterward. This translates to an 8,940.50x return (or roughly 894,050% increase) over approximately 11 years. BNB Chain (Binance Coin), the native token of the BNB Chain ecosystem, was launched in July 2017 as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network during its initial coin offering (ICO). The ICO price was approximately $0.15 per BNB. The BNB Chain itself evolved from Binance Chain (launched April 2019) and Binance Smart Chain (launched September 2020), rebranding to BNB Chain in February 2022. This translates to a 4,483.33x return (or roughly 448,333%) over approximately 8 years. Using the first recorded exchange price in August 2017, around $0.65. Solana (SOL) launched on March 16, 2020, with its main net and native token. During its initial seed funding round in 2018, SOL tokens were sold at approximately $0.04. The first recorded exchange price in April 2020 was around $0.9511. This translates to a 3,965.50x return (or roughly 396,550%) over about 7 years. Using the first exchange price ($0.9511) Ripple, the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), was launched in June 2012, with 100 billion tokens pre-mined. The ICO price in 2012 was approximately $0.00589, based on early exchange data. The first recorded exchange price in February 2013 was around $0.00589. From ICO Price ($0.00589, June 2012) to current price is a 410.68x return (41,068.25% increase) over 13 years. Cardano Community (ADA) was launched in September 2017 following a series of public sales between September 2015 and January 2017, with an ICO price of approximately $0.0024 per ADA. The first recorded exchange price in October 2017 was around $0.0241. From ICO Price ($0.0024, September 2015) to current price is a 254.17x return (25,316.67% increase) over 10 years. Kaspa (KAS) was fair launched on November 7, 2021, with no pre-mine, pre-sales, or coin allocations. Trading began in June 2022 at an initial exchange price of approximately $0.000393, per data. From First Exchange Price ($0.000393, June 2022) to current price is a 195.93x return (19,492.88% increase) over 3 years. TRON DAO (TRX) was launched in September 2017 through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), raising $70 million at an ICO price of approximately $0.0019 per TRX. The first recorded exchange price in September 2017 was around $0.002. From ICO Price ($0.0019, September 2017) to current price is a 76.84x return (7,584.21% increase) over 8 years. NEAR Protocol (NEAR) launched its main net on April 22, 2020, with an initial token sale price of approximately $0.034 per NEAR during its 2019–2020 funding rounds, as noted by other sources. The first recorded exchange price in August 2020 was around $0.9854, per data. From Initial Sale Price ($0.034, 2019–2020) to current price is a 67.06x return (6,605.88% increase) over 5.2 years. Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ (ATOM) was launched in April 2017 through an initial coin offering (ICO) by the Interchain Foundation, raising $17 million at approximately $0.10 per ATOM. The main net went live in March 2019, with the first recorded exchange price in March 2019 at $6.49. From ICO Price ($0.10, April 2017) to current price is a 42.5x return (4,150%) over 8 years. The cryptocurrency market remains inherently volatile, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. While the historical data showcases the immense upside potential, future returns will depend on a combination of technological innovation, regulatory developments, global macroeconomic factors, and user adoption. Investors exploring this space should approach with both optimism and caution, recognizing the risks alongside the proven history of explosive growth in the top layer one blockchains. I do NOT calculate seed rounds into my calculations. 🏆 Final Top 10 Layer 1 Blockchains by “X Return” Bitcoin (BTC) - 120,961,832.33x Ethereum (ETH) - 8,940.50x BNB (BNB Chain) - 4,483.33x Solana (SOL) - 3,965.50x Ripple (XRP) - 410.68x Cardano (ADA) - 254.17x Kaspa (KAS) - 195.93x Tron (TRX) - 76.84x NEAR Protocol (NEAR) - 67.06x Cosmos (ATOM) - 42.5x Final "X" Average: X Average (Including BTC) 🚀 12,098,026.88x X Average (Excluding BTC) 🚀 2,048.50x A potential average of 2,048.50x on PulseChain.com Ethereum fork including ERC20s which is priced at a 72% discount BEFORE ITS FIRST EVER BULL RUN. "PulseChain $PLS currently trades at a remarkable 72% discount, prior to experiencing its first ever bull cycle. This positions it for a theoretical average return of 2048.5x, representing one of the most asymmetric risk reward profiles observed in modern crypto market history." - Rackham Rishel When it comes to the numbers, interpretations vary WIDELY. Everyone, including yourself, and AI cites different figures. So, I think it's reasonable to allow for a little leeway here. Thank you. Song: Foreigner "Juke Box Hero" 🔊show more

I actually first heard of $RBNT from Gilbert back... in 2019 He mentioned an impressive project being closely watched by the Australian Government.. one claiming transaction throughput in the hundreds of thousands Had my eye on their developments ever since..

Holly shit❗️ Mark Carney thinks our effective carbon price... is too low; "The effective carbon price in this country is actually quite low relative to the headline price,in the $20 to $30 range in most Canadian markets.

What happens if Bitcoin goes to $1,000,000 in 8... years and MSTR never issues another senior or preferred share? No new leverage. No new preferred stack. No mNAV expansion. Just Bitcoin going up and the current structure sitting there. At $63.2k BTC: MSTR implied price: ~$95.71 CEBE: ~143,535 sats/share CEBE mNAV: 1.055x At $1,000,000 BTC, with the exact same mNAV: MSTR implied price: ~$2,086 CEBE: ~197,678 sats/share Bitcoin return: 15.8x MSTR return: 21.8x That is ~38% more return than Bitcoin. Why? Because the senior/preferred claim stack is fixed in dollars. As Bitcoin rises, that claim stack collapses in BTC terms: ~310,379 BTC of senior claims today → ~19,616 BTC at $1M Bitcoin The common equity absorbs the difference. This is what you are getting in exchange for paying the STRC dividends. AMPLIFICATION of BITCOIN. This is what the market keeps missing. MSTR does not need the multiple to expand to outperform Bitcoin. It can outperform because fixed-dollar claims get nuked in Bitcoin terms. CEBE is the lens. Bitcoin is the detonator:show more
