"What if I just invest in all the top 100 coins and just wait?"
"What if I just buy on the ETH spot?"
"What if I just buy the latest offerings on Binance?"
Let's try to break down all of these strategies in today's article, using a few crypto investors as examples!
What was the raw data for the Twitter thread?
▫️Топ-200 CoinMarketCap + Binance listings from 2018 to February 2019.
▫️Time Time horizon: bearish 2018 to bullish 2021.
▫️Date Entry: February 2019 (this date was chosen for entry to simulate buying during a deep bear market);
▫️Date Exit: price high of each coin. (Since it is impossible to reach every high, 50% of the theoretical return of the simulation would be a more realistic result).
