Following... Hello Everyone, I started an experiment on cryptocurrencies and I will be posting on this thread the updates. As the title says the experiment consists of buying the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap and holding them for 5 years. I spent $1000 and bought $10 of each. You can see the main article about the experiment from https://buyandhold100crypto.com/buy-and-hold-100-crypto-for-5-years-the-experiment/The latest article was made yesterday, where after 10 days the gain on the initial investment was doubled Day 10 Feel free to suggest me anything Thanks a lot

Better profit will be if just buy bitcoin and hold him.
Altcoins are performing better, the overall value in BTC is now of 0.19 I initially invested 0.067 BTC

If a person is patient enough then this would happen, still a lot can happen in 5 years. There might be an incident that may require a person to spend a lot of money. There might also come a time when it's value will be so high in just 2 years, would you still wait knowing that it couldn't be that high again?

Nice to see, that you already got investment doubled. But 5 years is a way too much. One year would be perfect.
Well it’s an experiment, one year for me would be too short, I really wanna see what’s going to happen to them on the long run.

Hi, just a quick question
Where are you holding all these coins? As i dont think any exchange has all the top 100
Multiple exchanges? Or wallets

Yes of course,I’m not doing the experiment to get a profit. I have other investments on cryptos,I will sell those in case

It is an interesting idea, dude! I will follow the experiment. Exists a small flaw that most of cryptocurrency prices are directly dependant on BTC price, but this can also be considered as an advantage. Let's look!

I think these kind of experiments are great but you need to keep revising your folio. Noone would wanna hold pump dump coins when they are pumped already.

I think that's a good thing, with you saving lots of altcoin coins for a long period of time up to 5 years it requires substantial funds. but if you can afford and have big capital I think can be achieved and profitable big profit.

After I came across this topic, I revised my strategy. In fact, it's hard to keep track of every day, but now I'm not inclined to it. Once a month I'll watch and maybe even trade.

Are you usually a day trader or a long holder?

The idea is good. But I think 5 years is very long time. Max I think 1.5-2 years, you can debug the coins. After 5 years it is unknown what will happen to all cryptocurrencies.

That's the point of the experiment, we don't know what's going to happen
