A Bitcoin (BTC) investor, analyst, and bestselling author has started an experiment with his now crypto-friendly bank. He invested $1,100 in the 11 cryptocurrencies the bank made available to its customers and shared the 4-month results of the crypto portfolio.
The Bitcoin investor is Marco Bühler, who goes by sunnydecree on X, where he shared how his experience is going.
“Four months ago, my bank started offering cryptocurrencies. For fun, I “invested” $100 in each coin for a total of $1,100. This is how it’s going.”
Notably, the shared image shows a crypto portfolio worth $1,005.24, down $95, or 8.6%, in four months. Polygon (MATIC) is the biggest loser, down 41%, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the top gainer, up 47.8%.
The $1,100 crypto portfolio by a Bitcoin investor
Looking at the crypto portfolio four months after the $100 purchase of 11 different cryptocurrencies, we see the following result.
First, BCH, BTC, Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC) positions are the only ones with unrealized gains, totaling a $478.57 nominal value. The top four cryptocurrencies represent 36% of the assets’ count and 47.6% of the portfolio valuation by posting time.
Then, Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Chainlink (LINK), Tezos (XTZ), Compound (COMP), Cosmos (ATOM), and MATIC complete the 11-crypto selection, totaling a $526.67 nominal value.
Interestingly, the Bitcoin Cash position surprised other investors who would expect a different result, considering the cryptocurrency’s low market cap.
The experiment demonstrates the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency investments, even over a short period. While diversification can mitigate risk, it does not guarantee profits in the volatile market. In closing, the experiment suggests that picking the right projects could be a better play than picking all projects available.
Nevertheless, investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and investment strategies when venturing into cryptocurrencies.
