$1,000 invested in previous ATH (17-Dec-2017). Return on Investment analysis for top 2, top 5, top 10, top 20. How much it is worth now?
I choose 17-Dec-2017 for comparison as it was the day when BTC hit the previous all time high.
Given $1,000 invested in different top cryptocurrencies on this day, how much will you have today?
Scenario 1 – invested $500 in top 2 coins – gain 217.51%

Commentary
-
BTC and ETH are still the safest bet
-
ADA has gained a lot so far
-
Scam projects like Bitconnectttttt deserved to go and the owners go to jail
-
TRX is an outlier here
-
Many top projects back then are still not recovering to its 2017 ATH, even though they are legitimate projects. Some have lost over 80% token value (which means they need to increase by over 500% to reach previous ATH) such as DASH, PPT.
