I invested $1 each into the top 100 coins one year ago. (Backtest)

5y ago•

bullish:

bearish:

So I threw an imaginary $1 at each of the top 100ers on Sept., 30th 2020.

As I am sure others have been curious too, here are the results.

TL;DR: ~7x gain overall or $710 from $100. Doing the top 10 only (excl. stablecoins) would have been a 6.5x. Top 25 = 4.5x. BTC/ETH only 5.2x.

Top 10 by value increase descending:

LUNA(124x), DOGE(77x), EGLD(26x), QTUM(25x), ADA(22x), QNT(22x), AVAX(17x), SUSHI(16x), FTT(13x), BNB(13x)

The losers:

CVT(x0,08), ABBC(0,25x), TMTG(0,32x), BSV(0,5x)

Most stable:

ZB Token(1,03), MONA(1,06), AMPL(1,13), HEDG(1,19), UMA(1,28), OCEAN(1,31)
