HODL Bitcoin Outperforms Altcoins

A study by K33 Research has found that a “Bitcoin only” investment strategy has outperformed an altcoin portfolio over the long term.

The study looked at the performance of 1,009 altcoins since 2015, as they entered the top 100 ranks by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap. A $1 investment in each altcoin was tracked, as well as a $1 investment in Bitcoin simultaneously.

As of today, the altcoin portfolio would be worth approximately $7,000, while the Bitcoin-only strategy would be worth $50,000. This means that the Bitcoin-only strategy has outperformed the altcoin portfolio by a factor of 7.

There are a few reasons why this might be the case. First, Bitcoin is the most well-known and established cryptocurrency, and it has a larger market capitalization than any other altcoin. This means that it is more liquid and easier to trade, which can make it a more attractive investment for some investors.

Second, Bitcoin has a more predictable price history than altcoins. This is because Bitcoin is not as susceptible to the hype and speculation that can drive the price of altcoins up and down. As a result, Bitcoin is a more stable investment, which can be appealing to investors who are looking for long-term growth.

Of course, there is no guarantee that Bitcoin will continue to outperform altcoins in the future. However, the data from this study suggests that a “Bitcoin only” investment strategy is a more reliable way to generate long-term profits in the cryptocurrency market.

Here are some additional thoughts on the study:

The study only looked at the performance of altcoins that entered the top 100 ranks by market capitalization. It is possible that some altcoins that did not make the top 100 have outperformed Bitcoin over the long term. However, the study does suggest that altcoins as a whole have not outperformed Bitcoin.

The study also only looked at the performance of altcoins since 2015. It is possible that altcoins will outperform Bitcoin in the future. However, the data from this study suggests that Bitcoin is a more reliable investment over the long term.

The study does not take into account the fees associated with buying and selling cryptocurrencies. These fees can reduce the profitability of any investment strategy.

Overall, the study by K33 Research suggests that a “Bitcoin only” investment strategy is a more reliable way to generate long-term profits in the cryptocurrency market. DYOR before investing your own funds.

What is the goal of this portfolio?

The “Three Token Pillars” portfolio is democratically proportioned between the Three Pillars of the Token Economy & Interchain:

CryptoCurreny – Security Tokens (STO) – Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

With this portfolio, we will identify and take advantage of the opportunities within the Three
Pillars of ReadySetCrypto. We aim to Capitalise on the collective knowledge and experience of the RSC
community & build model portfolios containing the premier companies and projects
in the industry and manage risk allocation suitable for as many people as
possible.

The Second Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 was to give us a general idea of the weightings people desire in each of the three pillars and also member’s risk tolerance. The Third Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 has us closing in on a finalized portfolio allocation before we consolidated onto the highest quality projects.

What is the goal of this portfolio?

The “Top Ten Crypto” portfolio is a democratically proportioned portfolio balanced based on votes from members of the RSC community as to what they believe are the top 10 projects by potential.

This portfolio should be much more useful given the ever-changing market dynamics. In short, you rank the projects you believe deserve a spot in the top 10. It should represent a portfolio and rank that you believe will stand the test of time. Once we have a good cross-section, we can study and make an assessment as to where we see value and perhaps where some diamonds in the rough opportunities exist. In a perfect world, we will end up with a Pareto-style distribution that describes the largest value capture in the market.

To give an update on the position, each one listed in low to high relative risk:

SoV/money == BTC, DCR

Platforms == ETH, XTZ

Private Money == XMR / ZEC / ZEN

DeFi == MKR / SNX and stablecoins

It is the most realistic way for us to distill the entirety of what we have learned (and that includes the RSC community opinion). We have an array of articles that have gradually picked off one by one different projects, some of which end up being many thousands of words to come to this conclusion. It is not capitulation because we all remain in the market. It is simply a consolidation of quality. We seek the cream of the crop as the milk turns sour on aggregate.
