[Contest][ALT] Best portfolio 2022

[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

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.

[Halab]

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.

[LoyceV]

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

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

[LoyceV]

Whoever bets on the best performing altcoin at the end of 2022 will receive a 1000$ bonus on the value of his final portfolio.

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.

Whoever bets on the lowest performing altcoin at the end of 2022 will receive a 1000$ penalty on the value of his final portfolio.

So DarkStar_ will be at -$1000

Who wants a new graph?

[Halab]

So DarkStar_ will be at -$1000

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.

[Saint-loup]

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.

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

[LoyceV]

for 2023 I was thinking of some adjustments :

- +1000/-1000$ would become +100/-100$.

That's probably better And how cool would it be if that 100$ is only a tiny fraction of the total amounts next year?

- 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 ).

I'll argue some of them aren't that stable Or maybe I can find a coin that shorts other coins

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

Nope, the gold price is (still) lower than it was at the start of the year.

[Halab]

Registration for the 2023 contest is now open.

[perl]

Still a lesson.
In bearmarket, you have to stay in bitcoin nobody has done better than bitcoin (except stay in stable)

[LoyceV]

see on December 31 2022 who has performed the best.

Does that mean Sat Dec 31 00:00:01 UTC 2022 is the end? Or are you looking for 24 hours later? I'll post a graph when Halab clears this.


Follow up question: do you guys want me to continue collecting data for the 2022 portfolios? I could change it to for instance once a week or even once a month, and we can check the results after a few more years.

[GrosWesh]

do you guys want me to continue collecting data for the 2022 portfolios? I could change it to for instance once a week or even once a month, and we can check the results after a few more years.

Yes, i do !

I think the frequency with which you published your graphs this year was perfect Thank you for this quality work.

I'm waiting for Coingecko to post the closing price of 31/12/2022.
For example, for BTC, at the time of writing, there is not yet the closing price.

And this is to respect what I wrote in my first post :

As the reference "buy" price, I will take the opening price reported by Coingecko in the historical data of 01/01/2022.
And the closing price of 31/12/2022 will be used as reference "sale" price.

I don't know at what precise time CG defines its opening/closing prices...

I don't think there is much suspense about the winner, nor for the podium. But there may be a last minute surprise .

[LoyceV]

Yes, i do !

I've set it for weekly updates in loyce.club/other/halab. I'll scrape data 2 minutes after midnight, so it doesn't interfere with the 2023 portfolio scraping.

I think the frequency with which you published your graphs this year was perfect Thank you for this quality work.

I won't keep posting the graph here every 6-ish weeks, but if halab keeps this topic open, someone can remind me later. It would be nice to see what happens if altcoins go to the moon. And you can always copy/paste the latest update from here yourself.

I don't know at what precise time CG defines its opening/closing prices...

I would assume today's closing price is tomorrow's opening price. My data (below) is scraped right after midnight, and it takes a few seconds to get values for all coins. So it should be very close to the opening price.

It's quite a sad result. At least Bitcoin is still on top of the altcoins, but dropping almost two-thirds in value while inflation in many fiat currencies is soaring is not what I hoped for. The economy much more on central banks than it should.

Hello here.

First of all, I wish you all a happy new year 2023. This little contest will not have allowed us to forget this horrible year 2022. It's time to draw the conclusions of this contest.

Here is the raw ranking (without bonus/malus). There are some small differences compared to LoyceV's ranking because the prices were not taken at the same time.

In this holiday season, I will not take into account the 1000$ malus for the ones who took the alts that performed the worst.

But by taking the TrueUSD which made the miraculous performance of +0.58% over the year 2022, LoyceV receives the bonus of 1000$ on the value of his portfolio.

The final ranking is as follows :

Some say he is not human, that he is an AI, we will never know the truth.
He didn't want to win, but he saw the flaw in the contest and played against all of us,... and he won. Congratulations to him :
First : LoyceV: 2001.49$

It should be noted that staying in full BTC is one of the least bad ideas for this year 2022. If you bought $1000 worth of BTC in early 2022, you only have 357.10$ left.

They are beautiful, they are strong, I am sure they smell good and they are moderators of this beautiful forum. They fought all year long, but mole0815 win the final sprint ahead of xandry. They are on the podium, congratulations to :
2nd : mole0815 : 320,70$
3rd : xandry : 310,49$



No regret for an@sha who finished 4th with 285,02$. He almost finished on the podium, but his account is now banned, he could not have received a reward.

Then comes the soft part of the ranking :
5th : Yabes : 252,08$
6th : Saint-loup: 174,19$
7th : Buchi-88 : 170,56$
8th : GrosWesh : 160,92$
9th : elma : 153,78$
10th : Little Mouse : 148,14$
11th : -doubleU- : 144,19$
12th : chem96 : 143,78$
13th : perl : 118,87$
14th : sam00 : 110,48$
15th : MishaMuc : 108,74$
16th : Halab : 101,81$

The end of the ranking also saw a hard fight between MinoRaiola and 1miau. But the delisting of an alt from 1miau will have been fatal for him.
17th : MinoRaiola : 57,87$
18th : 1miau : 47,27$


In any ranking, there must be a last one. Fortunately for many of us, he is a better campaign manager than trader . He too tried a bet, but lost when his 4 altcoins got delisted after the UST debacle.
19th : DarkStar_ : 0$

I'll leave a few days for everyone to checks that everything is OK, and by the end of the week I will contact the winners to let me know their addresses where to send their rewards.
Elma, Groswesh, are you ready to send your reward share ?

Thank you all for participating. Let's move on to the 2023 contest now.
Thanks to LoyceV for making it possible to have a great follow-up.
Thanks Groswesh and elma for the bonuses (elma : "no, I will convert DOT to BTC at the end of the year, don't worry it will be worth more" tsss ).
I hope I didn't forget anything and that there are no mistakes.

Wp to LoyceV, mole0815 and xandry !

2022 has been a rotten year, I'm hot for the one to come! (self-motivation)  

[elma]

Congratulations to the winner and all participants ! Thanks Halab for the contest.
I am ready for sending rewards, I would have liked to give more, but 1 dot is 1 dot  .
I will contact winner in few days.

18th : 1miau : 47,27$

How embarrassing. 
Looks like I've nominated some awful picks...
Sherpa Cash failed and the rest went down as well.
Yes, Shitcoin speculation is risky! 

Kudos to LoyceV for his bearish strategy (somehow he also steered clear of Terra Luna stablecoin  ) and many thanks @halab for launching the contest.
Somehow I've merited your contest for next year but forgot to enter, LOL... 
Good luck @all participants anyways. 

[LoyceV]

But by taking the TrueUSD which made the miraculous performance of +0.58% over the year 2022, LoyceV receives the bonus of 1000$ on the value of his portfolio.

Lol! It only emphasizes how bad the year was, if fluctuations of a stable coin make it the best performing altcoin.

Some say he is not human, that he is an AI, we will never know the truth.
He didn't want to win, but he saw the flaw in the contest and played against all of us,... and he won. Congratulations to him :
First : LoyceV: 2001.49$

Thanks! I think this is the saddest win I've ever had If only I would have put my money where my mouth is, but then again, that wouldn't be HODLing.

They are beautiful, they are strong, I am sure they smell good and they are moderators of this beautiful forum. They fought all year long, but mole0815 win the final sprint ahead of xandry. They are on the podium, congratulations to :
2nd : mole0815 : 320,70$
3rd : xandry : 310,49$

Congrats! It was fun to follow your "fight". It was very close for the last 6 months of the year.

In any ranking, there must be a last one. Fortunately for many of us, he is a better campaign manager than trader . He too tried a bet, but lost when his 4 altcoins got delisted after the UST debacle.
19th : DarkStar_ : 0$

The idea was good, but it onces again shows how true "not your keys, not your coins" is.

[mole0815]

What a result
I am very happy to have made it into the top 3.

Since there was also something to win here, I would be very glad to provide this for the great activity of derBowler.

Thanks for the organization halab!

I'll leave a few days for everyone to checks that everything is OK

If you haven't already done,  feel free to review your numbers. I made a lot of mistakes for 2023.

Everything is verifiable on Coingecko (historical data).
Take the opening price of your Alts on 01/01/2022.
Qt : (1000 * your proportion/100)/ opening price
Value of the alt on 31/12/2022: closing price on 31/12/2022 * Qt.
And check that the total is correct.

Considering the catastrophic year, it should not change anything for LoyceV, but for the podium, we are sure of nothing.
