Not sure how the comparison / calculation is clearly done (offsetting holding and trading fees from performance results).

Shrimpy discuss results over a 1 year period (dec 2019 - dec 2020):

However, during the same period, holding:

- BTC: +195% (19-6.5)/6.5
- ETH: +500% (600-100)/100
- XRP: +205% (0.67 - 0.22)/0.22
- LTC: +200% (80-40)/40

Conclusion: Seems more profitable holding any of them without rebalancing.

Thank you for sharing! The first row that is included in this image is the "hold" strategy. That means if you held the same portfolio, it would be worth less money. Although individual assets might have performed better, it's unrealistic to always pick the 1 very best asset and hold. For that reason, most people have a portfolio of assets. This study shows that historically, holding a portfolio of assets has performed worse than rebalancing a portfolio.

Let me know if you have any questions!
