Lots of great replies and comments. I’ll try to answer in general as generally as I can.
Yeah, I think it’s very possible, and as well as being a personal challenge, it’s also something that can be easily shared without reservation as I think it’s practically impossible to lose money if you’re willing and able to hold for as long as you have to if needed. From that group of 7 you might have one or two “disappointments”, but things have got to really go wrong for you to lose money. It’s the biggest no brainer I’ve ever seen in my life. Easy for me to say having been around since 2014. Easy for anyone whose been around since the early days to say the same. That having been said, it’s not so obvious to the newcomer, who’s starting at a much higher buy price and has much less knowledge. Those of us who’ve been around know that crypto is here to stay and that the winners are going to be worth a lot more than they are now. The key rests with your crypto picking capabilities, and why not share your conclusions with others? If you’re so sure about them for yourself, why not openly share them? Even at the risk of sounding like a shill! It’s in all of our interests to hang on to our winnings until we get fair value, isn’t it? One of the best things we can do is share our knowledge about that and work together to that end. There’s a reason why early adopters are handsomely rewarded: they invested their time, knowledge and money early on. The idea is to sell at fair value . . . after, of course, identifying the winners that will make it there. Yes, I think it’s very possible, and I hope there are as many of us peons as possible who do it!
Some of the more technical aspects: I think the potential is there in this portfolio for a 100x gain. No doubt in my mind that the reasonable prospect is there, and “dead” coins, third tier coins, not even 2nd tier coins are necessary in order to find these prospects. 100x gains with 1st tier crypto. That’s the amazing part about this! See this other thread for more thoughts of mine on this subject:

I would only suggest that you try to stay with the basic criteria being used: high potential value crypto already performing as projected that is extremely undervalued. Technically LTC isn’t in that category, but the portfolio needs a conservative, yet also relatively undervalued, balance to act as the “bank” and with BTC approaching fair value (that I estimate to be $5,000ish), LTC was chosen for that role (with a 20x conservative appreciation potential, next to BTC, it’s another no brainer – it does everything BTC does, and much more!). And, of course, since I, or any of us, can always be wrong, I also recommend healthy debate.
No time frame is set. Everything risked is risk capital capable of being completely lost.
