From last week, the total market cap was $428 billion, the total market cap is now $432 billion, $4 billion larger from last week. Bitcoin is still at $9,300 and Ethereum is now at $750. We now enter the last month of the EOS ICO, I think it will have a great launching when the ICO ends.

What is Cryptocurrency HODL?

It is a fantasy style of holding cryptocurrencies per edition I have an imaginary $100 to invest in my choice of crypto. The main goal of this is to see if investing in crypto is profitable in the long term. We buy the crypto with no trend analysis, we buy in maybe on a dip, or when it is at its All Time High.

After another week our portfolio profit has taken a $200 hit, let us now recap 14 coins are in the green/profit zone while there are 10 that are in the red zone which are losses. Let us then continue to recap the stats for this week.

Status Recap

Last Week's Stats

Profit/Loss: $ +1,753.61
Top Gainer: ADA(+$609.52)
Biggest Loser: ZCL($-78.94)

This Week's Stats

Profit/Loss: $ +1,530.65
Top Gainer: ADA(+$522.25)
Biggest Loser: ZCL($-85.44)

Looking at the stats, the profit went down by $200, even though the market cap has risen $4 billion from last week. Looking at last weeks investment to POWR it is not doing well at the moment with a $30 loss. Let us then recap the top gaining coins, we still have the same top 3 from last week, as Cardano, EOS, and Vechain maintain their spots in our portfolio. Now for the bottom 3 coins it is still the same from the last edition too, with ZClassic, DENT, and NANO rounding up the bottom 3 coins, ZClassic was a real blunder as I bought it at its all time high before the fork happened.

That rounds up the stats for this week, let us now proceed then to invest our imaginary $100.

Spending Breakdown

We will go all in on one crypto for this week, and my pick will be EOS

5.580357142857143 EOS at $17.92 each

Cryptos are growing faster than gold as we compare them equal. But recently crypto holding gives us a huge profit specially EOS is rocking.

Yes it will boom in the future once cryptocurrency will be used by everyone.

The prices are at an astonishingly high
