LoyceV's Legendary 10 Month 10 Person 10 Altcoin Investment Experiment: ENDED

[LoyceV]

I am in for round 2 if/when that happens.

Added!

It would be pretty cool if everyone decided as a group to just donate this at the end to a good cause.

I'm not much into donating, but it's up to you guys where you send your money. I'll just return it to the addresses originally posted.

Tax wise I would rather just give this away than try to explain it lol...

Lol

I would also like to join the 2nd round if there's open spots, if not then for the 3rd round

Added!

Crypto in general is down again. All 10 altcoins went down in the last month, and so did Bitcoin. Most of last month's profit is lost again. Measured in Bitcoin, we're at a loss. Measured in dollars, we're still in profit.

One month to go, doesn't look like things moved much from early May. For what it's worth, it would still be a pleasant surprise to see my PPC return me 90% of value in Bitcoin, if it stays this way in July, and to see dollar gains anyway is a bonus.

Lots of suggestions already in mind for Round 2, esp at perhaps an additional condition to lockin potential profits, but let's put that up when new thread opens.

I'm still working on the new thread. Taking profit when coins are up will be more work, as I don't want to keep funds on an exchange anymore.

Ah sorry, misread the quoted May 4 date. I was thinking of simply reserving say 50% of the coins on an order at about 100% of the price bought and forgetting it for the entire duration. It is an extra step but would possibly take advantage of spikes in altseason, not uncommon as has happened at least twice to some of my "for fun alts". But yeah, leaving funds on the exchange is always an unacceptable risk if you're looking at the same 10-month period. I wouldn't go after you if anything happened to the wallet/exchange, though I suspect others might not be as nonchalant. Still looking forward to joining all the same.

I want a spot in if possible please, also if I may suggest, you can just add a limit in profits when reached the whole round should be ended and start new one . For example if capital reached X5 the initial amound then all coins should be liquidated distribute profit among participants and start new round . 

[Steamtyme]

If you do run round 2 I'd be interested in a spot.

Just notify me when it comes up. I've definitely wasted .01 on worse investments.

I won't do that, the spirit of this experiment is more or less "all or nothing". And I don't want to do daily checks on the price of all coins.

Just like last month, crypto in general is down again. Measured in Bitcoin, we're at a loss. Measured in dollars, we still have a (very small) profit.

I only now noticed I've been counting the wrong month since April, calling it March (I forgot to change my copy/paste here), and then continued to use the wrong month up to last month. I've fixed this by editing those posts.

I still haven't completed version 2.0 of this thread. Sorry for the delay, I'll update here when it's available.

Edited.
If I counted correctly you already have 15 on your waiting list.. *sigh*

The waiting list is not official, just hop in the new thread and stake your claim. The "waiting list" was just people to be notified, I'm 99% sure that entering in round 2 is first come first serve. I wasn't on the waiting list and got in by simply posting in the new thread.

Pretty common theme of lagging behind Bitcoin's performance, but making USD.  While some have labeled such events as scams in the past, I think it displays the potential pitfalls of spending your BTC on an investment well.  I hope everyone involved had a positive experience and enjoy their newly acquired USD profits.

Pretty common theme of lagging behind Bitcoin's performance, but making USD.

The first half of last year was the opposite: anybody who created a shitcoin got rich!

While some have labeled such events as scams in the past, I think it displays the potential pitfalls of spending your BTC on an investment well.

It's more or less a gamble, and all the more reason to limit the amounts "invested". All it takes is just one altcoin that hits 10x to 100x, and this experiment is in profit no matter what the rest does. Stellar Lumens for instance went from 281 sat on October 4, to 3911 sat now. That's 13.9 times more.
It's increases like this that keep me (and probably most people) going on altcoins.

I hope everyone involved had a positive experience and enjoy their newly acquired USD profits.

That's the spirit

Bitcoin's market dominance dropped from 49.13% on October 4 last year to 43.04% now. But even though altcoins are gaining market share, the total number of altcoins keeps going up, reducing their individual market shares.

Archived just in case it's needed later.

0.04228 GBB (GigaBlackbytes) from the last (and only) Byteball airdrop is not included in the table yet (the current value $0.21).

I only now noticed I've been counting the wrong month since April, calling it March (I forgot to change my copy/paste here), and then continued to use the wrong month up to last month. I've fixed this by editing those posts.

I still haven't completed version 2.0 of this thread. Sorry for the delay, I'll update here when it's available.

Very interesting results. Shame it didn't go so well for you guys. I started my own one, investing in 18 coins I picked last August for one year. Its gone pretty well, will probably not cash them out but let them run for another year (maybe will change some of them, not sure yet) but very interesting experiment. Obviously nowhere near as good now as it was back in December but still about 3x overall.

[LoyceV]

Yesterday, many alts on CoinMarketCap went up 900%. For a short moment I was very hopeful for this experiment, but it was just a glitch in the website.
In the past month, Bitcoin's market dominance went up again, eating altcoins:

(source)

Bitcoin's dominance is now only slighly higher than it was when this experiment started, but new altcoins continuously dilute the share of existing altcoins.

Measured in dollars, we're at a 12.2% loss. Measured in Bitcoin, the loss is 4 times larger.
It doesn't feel right to sell it now, but I want to stick to the plan you all agreed to 10 months ago. So there it goes:

In hindsight, we should have started in Month 1 and ended in Month 3. But that's in hindsight. It was a roller coaster, and I'm really sorry I didn't get you guys a profit. That doesn't stop people from joining round 2 though, so I assume the "consider it play money"-warning was well understood.

Bittrex scared me after confirming my withdrawal: it went from "Authorized" to "Invalid". That's a weird way of telling me they don't accept Bech32 addresses. After this, it worked with a legacy address.
Bittrex takes 0.0005BTC fee, I can further distribute the funds with 1 sat/byte. That leaves 0.00509935BTC per person. Paid back with txid 6d0e1a76b48c1558f376bf5dff996ea6376c525378a14067955498a6672f4ebd.

Thank you all for joining! It was fun to host this experiment, even though the end result is far from what I hoped it would be.

Archived just in case it's needed later.

I still have 0.04228 GBB (GigaBlackbytes) from the last (and only) Byteball airdrop (the current value $0.11). I can't really figure out how to sell it, and $0.11 isn't worth the effort anyway. If anyone wants to have it, post that here so we can pair wallets, and I'll send it.

Received funds to my "after 10 months" wallet. It was an enjoyable experiment LoyceV and I got excited to see the table each 4th day of the month. We didnt do great no but we found out 2018 hasn't been so hot for alt coins. Could be more promising to start round 2 immediately lol. Thanks again!

[buwaytress]

Hello LoyceV! I must admit I forgot all about Aug 4th, but I just noticed now the 0.005+ BTC or so to my wallet came and I instantly knew where it came from. Like billgator said, positive experience to be gained. I'm sure we all knew the risk of alts, and personally am prepared to lose everything in an experiment. As OgNasty says too, we generally know what to expect with USD gains and BTC losses. Just a shame about the timing. But we're all free to go on and buy our chosen alts and hold on to those anyway (which is probably what I'll do, beef up a few more PPC

See you all for round 2.

[LoyceV]

Could be more promising to start round 2 immediately lol.

I won't try to time the market, so I'll start when it's all ready. It shouldn't take much longer.

I'm sure we all knew the risk of alts, and personally am prepared to lose everything in an experiment. As OgNasty says too, we generally know what to expect with USD gains and BTC losses.

I've always said altcoins (and later ICOs and Forkcoins) were only created to give the creator more Bitcoins. Long term that still seems to be true.
Around the start of 2017, on the other hand, many altcoins went up 10x to 100x. I also think that was a one-time thing.

Just a shame about the timing. But we're all free to go on and buy our chosen alts and hold on to those anyway (which is probably what I'll do, beef up a few more PPC

I hadn't thought of that yet. It sounds like a good idea, although I'm still holding enough GBYTE (which continues dropping until now).
I'll leave this topic open, it would be nice to post here when you're back at 0.01BTC again.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Wish I would have seen this, looks like it would have been great fun.
I was reading buwaytress’ trust rating & saw about this.

I probably would have joined if I’d seen it.

[Jet Cash]

I like the idea of an investment cooperative. I think I'm a bit concerned about the fixed term for the investment. Crypto is so volatile, that I think one needs to maintain flexiblity to take advantage of market movements. I'd also like to be able to choose between different risk:reward ratios, and this is not possible with a single portfolio.

Well, this is an experiment not a real investment plan or anything, it's just for fun and maybe profit... maybe
