Here at Reno Blockchain, we are currently a group of 12 blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who have created 2 competing cryptocurrency speculation teams:
1- the Bitcoin Bulldogs, and
2- the Winklevoss Wildcats.
The Bulldogs have chosen a strategy where they remain loyal to Bitcoin and ONLY speculate on Bitcoin positions. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are free to choose any coin or coin/currency pair for their positions. We have finished Week 3 of Round 5 of 2018 (from 4/22/2018 through 5/19/2018). Each round is always 4 weeks (28 days) long and each week runs from Sunday 12:00 AM through Saturday night 11:59 PM. Each team started on 1/28 with $2500.00 and after 105 days, here is the ranking history up until Round 5 Week 3:

As you can see, while the entire crypto market has fallen again, it is now down over 30% of its value in the past 105 days. The Wildcats are down over 20% (down 18% from last week, with 100% exposure to coins) while the Bulldogs have lost about 9% from last week to -1.98% (with just about 63% exposure to Bitcoin). The Wildcats have 0% of their resources in USD so they have seen both larger growth and larger losses as the Bitcoin price rallies or falls. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have been "buying dips". They now have about 37% of their resources in USD which keeps them in a position to buy more Bitcoin- looking for dips where the price falls below $8K or even $7K.
