[Discussion] Best Altcoins Portfolio 2024 | sponsored by BC.Game

Last night, my data scraping resulted in some failures again. The API is clearly not up for it, and I don't really want to keep checking this daily for the rest of the year. If it keeps failing, I'll have to give up.
I'm re-scraping it now.

I'm re-scraping it now.

I just noticed and re-ran my scripts manually, too. How about running them a few times e.g. at 00:00, 01:00, 02:00? Or did none of the runs go through smoothly & you had to 'stitch' results manually? In that case we'd have to look into a different API.

Might find some time to do that myself, too, in case you're too busy at the moment.

I ran the whole script again. Sometimes the API just blocks me, despite having a 16 seconds delay between scraping.

How about running it multiple times until none of the returned $ values are 0? I guess it's not that important for the daily standings / graphics whether it's the 00:00 standing or 01:00, since what really counts will only be the final results, right.

That's easy to add indeed. I've changed it like this: 6 seconds between API-requests, but if the API gives me an empty output, I'll wait 1 minute and try again. Let's see if this works tomorrow.

Update: this may fail once one of the coins gets delisted, but it worked last night. The volatility in less than a week is amazing:

This may be historic! Today, Bitcoin is winning against all of our altcoin portfolios!



In fact, almost everyone's in the red right now. At least I'm barely winning against LoyceV.

I confirm that I have now the funds from BC.Game

The graphs have been very interesting to watch since the beginning, volatility is extreme at the moment!
I find it extremely funny to see BTC first.

I like how in the first few days, everything was kind of doing the same thing, but between January 4 and 8, all the altcoin portfolios dipped down, meanwhile Bitcoin slowly went up. It's a tiny data point in the grand scheme of things, but it's a nice anecdote to show the difference between Bitcoin and 'everything else'.

[n0nce]

Almost 1 month passed and just 10 portfolios are outperforming Bitcoin. I see this as an absolute win! Still good to see that LoyceV's and my portfolio, heavy on XMR, are holding up not too badly. I hope to see Monero gain some traction in the future; even though not necessarily as an investment.

[cryptofrka]

Nice to see that my cat shitcoins are pushing me towards victory.

Who needs Bitcoin when you have Mochi

[tokeweed]

^  Lol at Base?  Yeah it's funny that Mochi and Toshi are the top coins in that chain for some time now and the more serious projects like Aero and Scale are doing really badly.    It just shows how immature the space is right now.

But the thing tho is memecoins are going to give you the biggest gains if you play it right.  Like if you missed going in right before the pump then it's prolly better not to chase as these things could dump and you might get shaken out of the trade.

The thing to do for 2024 and 2025 if you wanna be in the trenches are airdrops and memecoins.

Thanks icopress and BC.Game. I have updated the contest prizes in OP.

[paid2]

At the moment, most of our portfolios are not at their best lol

I can't wait to see how things will turn out during the second half of the year.. Curious to see if BTC will stay as solid as it is now.. Perhaps some random shitmemecoin will take us all down?

[LoyceV]

Still good to see that LoyceV's and my portfolio, heavy on XMR, are holding up not too badly.

Of course, 1 random doesn't mean anything, but still, I didn't expect 95% of the picks to be better than random.

[paid2]

I love coming here and looking at the different gaps between the portfolios. It's so random it's funny.

The full BTC portfolio has dropped to 10th place.
Mine is doing badly, between XMR and EVMOS it's a real defeat lol

The 2 best and 2 lowers portfolios for now:

Knowing what I know now as I've really been making an effort to get into alts again and try to be updated as much as possible, I think some guys in this competition know more than the average crypto guy than they let on.  Guys like julerz12, cryptofrka and slackovic...  C'mon guys, spill the alpha.    Join me and libert19 in the airdrops thread.    Pretty sure julerz12 is happy with his PYTH stake and waiting for airdrops...  You're in early.
