2H 2017 Crypto Portfolio Performance


The quick and easy number?

  +254.77%

The math is a simple one, I'm too damn lazy to count XIRR. It would be a ridiculous number like 800% or something anyway. ( Current Unrealized + Realized Profits ) / ( Capital Invested ) = Returns

I'll give you guys the facts:

I bought my FIRST crypto on 9 June 2017.
I've been invested in cryptos for 6 months and 10 days.
I was very lightly allocated initially, but my allocation increased heavily towards the end of August.

The median date that I allocated my capital was 2 September 2017 (ie. half was before, half was after). I did say that on 23 August I'll be going all-in crypto. I'll leave it up to you to speculate how much I actually put in.

My worst closed position was +5%.
My best closed position was +968%.

My worst open position is my ONLY negative position and it is at -4.3%
My best open position is at 842%.

I have taken part in 4 ICOs.
I have made money in all of them. No duds, heh.

Obviously, my most current positions are doing the worst. All my "old" (relatively, especially in this fast moving market) positions are deep in the money.

If I wanted to window dress my portfolio, I would have stopped adding capital. All my new capital is weighing down on my portfolio returns heavily. However, I don't care about window dressing my portfolio to make it look like I'm a genius and savvy crypto investor. I'm not. I care about making money and that means I need to put my capital to work.

Most other people in crypto would have portfolio returns much higher than mine, even though they have been in it shorter. I'm not complaining. Those people probably took riskier bets than I did and they were rewarded for it.

I'm in it for the long haul, so I have not used any leverage and I have never gone short anything. I pick cryptos that I like fundamentally and I avoid shitcoins the best I can.

So far, so good.

I'm so deep in profits right now that even if this alleged crypto bubble bursts, it needs to tank more than 70% to even touch my capital. It might happen - over my dead body.

Crazy mania tulip bubble ponzi fraud? Going fantastically well.

Am I an idiot for doing this? Well, at least for now, I'm still an idiot that is making money.

You wouldn't want to get your hands dirty touching this ponzi bubble right? LISTEN TO UNCLE WARREN. BUFFET KNOWS BEST. Now sit back and watch me get rich.


PSA: Cryptos are dangerous af. Don't play with shit that you don't know.

The HERD is coming into Crypto!!!

Image
Bought crypto in 2017? Congrats fellow crypto OG on being a verified early adopter. THARMS UP MAN. Buying crypto in 2018? HERD SHEEP FOMO NOOB, get rekt beech! Proof of herd? This . The herd is coming in and buying everything with a face value of under $10, especially things below $1. Madness. Who cares about circulating supply or market cap? Price is the most important thing, right? The next time someone says that the "price is cheap, so it's a better buy", I'm going to shit myself instantly on the spot. I cannot tell you the number of times people told me that they can't buy a crypto because "it's so expensive". *COUGH COUGH COUGH DGD COUGH COUGH COUGH* Anyway, we already knew that this would happen. Just a PSA and FYI, the herd is already here, and half of them are STILL stuck at registration and verification at exchanges. I know someone that has already been waiting 2.5 weeks to be verified. And that was before the alt-coin FOMO boomz and we are...

46% of 2017 ICOs have already failed, Yours is next

Interesting piece for your reading consumption. I'd say the #1 misconception now by intermediate crypto players is the thinking that you "need to do more ICOs to juice up your returns, especially in a sideways / bear market". Meh. Won't say I fully disagree, but I don't think that is very accurate, or else I would be doing that strategy as well. However, I must say that crypto ICOs are extremely skewed with risk and rewards. For some people, going for obscure ICOs and hunting down low cap cryptos - AFTER FILTERING AND ANALYSIS - can prove to be an extremely profitable strategy. Then again, this strategy only works with limited value since you don't want to end up being the only person driving up the price and volume. How can you exit a huge position if the daily trading volume is less than your holdings? ^ This is something that A LOT of people just don't understand. Market freaking depth. Just because the price is $X, that does not mean that you can sell...

Value Investing Case Study: Does it apply to Crypto?

Image
For some reason, I managed to stumble upon this article by Dr Wealth that was written back in Feb 2018 regarding his LTC trade . Simple TLDR is that the NAV was $1.63, but was trading at $0.60. Dr Wealth had quite high confidence in the integrity of the underlying assets, since they were largely in (1) investment properties that are yielding good rental, (2) fixed deposits and (3) cash and bank balances. These kind of assets do not need to be marked down deeply when considering their salvage value. 7 months later, buyout offer with a 54% return from entry. Fantastic trade. This reminded me very much of my Saizen REIT trade which saw me realize a total gain (dividends + gain) of 40.4% over about 1.5 years . I consider it as one of my early masterpieces because of just how sure I was that all the evidence is pointing towards good future gains. Yes, I had strong evidence . Now, buying assets at a discount to NAV is a pretty good strategy if it satisfies some criteria: 1) there should be e...
