Topic: [Contest][ALT] Best portfolio 2022 - page 2. (Read 2440 times)

I wonder if Gold or a stable coin pegged to Gold price would have beat your pick?

Technically yes he will be at -$1000. DS_ will owe me money

This year the +1000/-1000$ rule is a bit ridiculous considering this shitty year. I hadn't had this case yet. I'm not going to change the rules during the year, but for 2023 I was thinking of some adjustments :

- +1000/-1000$ would become +100/-100$.
- And I will only allow one stable coin (sorry LoyceV, you'll have to get your hands dirty and dig into the depths of the shitcoin rankings ).

The discussion is open, and any proposal is welcome.

I thought I could at best be #2 because of this, but I'm starting to think I may have the "best performing altcoin" in my selection I'm disappointed though, I wanted to lose this one, and I wanted Bitcoin to above all others.

So DarkStar_ will be at -$1000

Who wants a new graph?

I call dips on the same I had this year And I'll start collecting data from the first day this time.

Small update on the contest, because the Dogeboyz (an@sha and Saint-Loup) are shaking up the contest a little bit.


But an@sha is banned and is therefore not eligible to receive a possible prize.

Even if this year is quite boring, there are two interesting fights to follow (at the top and the bottom of the ranking):

Mods fight : Mole0815 Vs Xandry (and an@sha)


And MinoRaiola Vs 1miau (who has one delisted token)




And you can start thinking about 4 altcoins for 2023, hoping for a more bumpy year.

Thanks, I clearly didn't account for delisting coins. I fixed it quick and dirty: if empty string, then make it 0.00 so it can be summed again.
It should be okay in tomorrow's update. I didn't bother fixing the "What is Crypto Market Cap" coin name when it's delisted. And I didn't (manually) update the csv, so 1Miau will be at zero for a few days in the next graph.

Hi LoyceV,

Just to tell you that there is a little problem with 1Miau since October 1st because one of its tokens has been deactivated (Sherpa). The total is 0 when it should not be

19. 1miau: $0.00

No hurry.

I thought that this was some kind of joke at first before realizing that the listing from Coingecko is now completely gone  

---

Maybe next time you can choose USDD (Tron's pseudoclone of Terra) and we can watch Tron implode together  

Please do, that's what it's for!

Apparently, I can no longer fetch the name from Coingecko. I'm not going to fix that bug anymore, we know what it is.

I've updated the graph:

@LoyceV I hope you don't mind me hijacking your reports:

As of today, we are all in a terrible spot, except LoyceV, more than doubling every single prediction out there made by other participants.

The next bullrun and altcoin hype has to happen soon or LoyceV will cry for sure:

Sheer luck

Or this:
I didn't even know Luna back then, I just searched CoinMarketCap for "USD".

 Why did you not choose Luna ?? 

Pretty amazing how even with Bitcoin losing exactly 50% of its USD-denominated value, it's still number 2 and outperformed all altcoin portfolios.
Goes to show yet again, how risky it is to invest in alts instead of Bitcoin...

Thanks for the update @LoyceV! We really appretiate it!

Things aren't looking really good for pretty much all of us (especially @DarkStar_) and sitting at spot #17 I doubt that I could even make a comeback this year. Even those that shortly outperformed your stable coins or the bitcoin price itself are now all sitting way below that :/

Mirrored Facebook Price (0.70803478 ): $0.00

That is what I expected (and would love to see), but it looks like it was just another ponzi

Wow... I mean I'm not surprised, but I don't get how people continue to trust these types of projects; since they always seem to go down sooner or later anyway.
Like, what's the use of a 'peg' if it can just be 'depegged'? If there were real stocks behind those 'mirrored stocks' (that someone buys for you when you buy the 'stablecoin version' of it), only then would it really be pegged and (as long as the 'someone' doesn't steal them from you) can't really be depegged, correct?

I think this is more impressive than winning the competition

There never was any real stock backing these mirrored tokens - I don't think the SEC would approve of any company trying to do that. I haven't looked too closely into how they actually worked, but my rough understanding is that they worked sort of like a perpetual futures contract that tries to use something similar to funding rates in order to incentivize people to long/short the stock depending on the price of the token relative to the actual stock.

I guess I spotted it just when they removed the price. This is today's data:
The world changed quite a bit in just 5 months

I still wonder: what happened to the actual stock? Did they pull a Madoff?

Updated graph:

Usually they should be backed by the actual stock or they would be 1/10th of an actual stock for example. If they aren‘t actually backed then it‘s just as sus as TUSD was

Theres coins like these on other chains that actually work pretty good (can think of an algorand project from the top of my head).
