Update: 12 months since investing $51,900 into 60 projects.
Hey everyone,
About a year ago, specifically from July 1st to July 14th, I invested $860-870 USD into 60 projects.
I managed to double my money. I sold the ones that had mooned, such as SOL, HNT, RUNE, LINK, OP, RNDR, AVAX, and a few others to take out my initial investment.
I kept 40 projects. I re-bought a few of the coins that I had sold because they tanked massively, such as OP and MINA, for a fraction of what I had sold them for and even bought a lot more of them.
Since then, I have been DCAing into all the coins that did not perform well with the hope of DCAing until they did. My rule was/is: let's say I put $2000 in and it keeps growing, I stop putting money into it until it doubles (or more but minimum double). But if it doesn't, I'll DCA into it. When it doubles, I sell it, take out half, and use the other half to DCA into the other ones/rebalance the other ones.
What I learned:
-
March 14th, 2024, is the day that pretty much the majority of alts got eviscerated.
-
BTC outperformed every coin in my portfolio since then by 100%, except for ETH and SOL.
-
Other than a handful of alts, I had to deploy thousands of dollars to balance the majority of the coins in my portfolio. I had no idea that alts were going to get demolished as badly.
-
My current portfolio would be worth more than $150,000 on March 14th. It is worth less than 50% of that even though I had to deploy more than 15k DCAing at every opportunity.
-
I plan on putting any profits – that I do not use to DCA into alts – only into BTC and ETH over the next year.
-
March 14th, 2024, was the day people who had started to accumulate since the end of the 2021 bull run unloaded their bags.
-
Most top 250 alts have lost all of their gains that came with BTC climbing to the mid-$70Ks.
-
There were about 3 major dump days since March 14th that eviscerated alts. And then a few small ones every week since then, leading to many dropping 50% or more. As you can see, BTC beat the rest of my portfolio on average by 102%.
