Obscure Investing - $10 Edition
Image: Google Images
So the year was 2017. In fact it is was a year ago today! Grandma gives you a crisp $10 USD note. You say to her, how am I supposed to spend it, we're in the UK, what am I supposed to do, wipe my ass with it? No she says, invest in crypto! It's the future! She then goes on to say that she wants you to predict a year from now what the top 10 are by market cap and invest $1 into each of them.
So you take a minute to decide, your choices are:
| Crypto | 2017 | 2018 | Change | Your $1 Today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | $2,649.31 | $7,636.84 | +188% | $2.88 |
| Ethereum | $248.65 | $609.94 | +145% | $2.45 |
| Ripple | $0.294516 | $0.682104 | +132% | $2.32 |
| Litecoin | $30.87 | $121.13 | +292% | $3.92 |
| Stellar | $0.041965 | $0.293265 | +599% | $6.99 |
| NEO | $1.31 | $54.51 | +4061% | $41.61 |
| Monero | $46.81 | $167.67 | +258% | $3.58 |
| Dash | $145.37 | $318.42 | +119% | $2.19 |
| Tether | $1.02 | $1.00 | -2% | $0.98 |
| NEM | $0.230625 | $0.252975 | +10% | $1.10 |
| End Value: | $68.02 |

Wouldn't that be nice if you had a granny who told you to invest in crypto a year ago. I still hadn't taken the plunge and I wish I had, but that won't get me anywhere, so all I can do is keep doing what I'm doing and keep an eye out for the next big thing.
Yeah, she'd be a pretty smart one, maybe seem a bit delusional. Yeah right grandma, I'll spend it on crypto. 😏
Dang it! Should have put it all on NEO!
Oh, well. Since both my grandmothers have been gone for quite a few years and neither one of them would have told me to invest in crypto anyway (but they definitely would have given me more than $10 :), I'd still be where I'm at today. No crypto, (except for STEEM) and none of the however many hundreds they gave me over the years because I either bought things like candy and comic books when I was younger, or paid for a car, food or rent when I was older.
Yeah. Lol I think most would.
But pretty decent return all-round really. Really interested in what it will be in a year though. I hope there's some movement. The overall market seems pretty dead recently in comparison. 😐
Yeah. Could it be waiting for something? Something huge? Except for some unrealistic SBD pumping going on over at Hitbtc, that's about as exciting as it gets in STEEM investment land. Everything else seems to be in a depressed state, too. Someone was talking about the upcoming G20 summit. Anything going on there that you know of relative to crypto?
I was surprised when steem doubled recently. But as for waiting for something, everytime theres a big crash it takes ages to recover, then theres a million new ICOs happening all the time. I think the mt gox bitcoin sell off is still happening too. So no idea, probably other factors. It's all so complex now. I don't follow crypto news much believe it or not. Lol. It usually does more harm than good, fills your head with false hope and FUD.
