Hi Everyone!

I think it's time we had a serious discussion on whether or not Bitcoin is a better store of value than Gold. This topic has caused a lot of controversy over the last few years, so I would love to hear your thoughts.

Which asset do you think is a better store of value?

I wrote up some of my thoughts on whether Bitcoin or Gold is a better store of value.

However, I'm certainly open to changing my mind!

Looking forward to the conversation.

You never would have guessed that a unicorn and a cartoon roll of sushi would have so much in common. However, here we are with both Uniswap and Sushiswap dominating the DeFi market.

To highlight major differences between these platforms, I just published an article here.

What do you guys think? For those people who have tried these different apps, which one was better for you?

Looking forward to the discussion!

Re: This strategy beat HODL by +67%

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!

Hi Everyone!

I've been running a study with over 33,000 backtests to identify the best rebalancing strategy. I wanted to share the results with everyone here to get some feedback.

Here are the backtest results.

Has anyone here tried these strategies before? I would love to hear how they performed for you!

Will the US ban self-hosted wallets?

Hi Everyone!

A few days ago, Brian Armstrong published some tweets that made some investors nervous because it sounded like the US might be trying to force people away from self-hosted wallets.

To address some of these concerns, I published an article.

Will the US Ban Self-Hosted Crypto Wallets?

However, I would love to hear what everyone here thinks! Do you think the US will try to ban self-hosted wallets, or at least try to make them difficult to use so people stop using them?

Before deploying a new crypto trading strategy, don't forget to thoroughly backtest. It's not too difficult to put together a backtest and it can save you significant time and money.

I put together a guide on how to backtest a strategy that I think will be extremely helpful for traders that are learning about backtesting for the first time. Let me know what questions you have and if there was anything I missed!

I wanted to have a discussion regarding market spread. I think this is a topic that is often overlooked by new traders in the market. Since new traders don't understand the impact of market spread, they may attempt strategies that involve too much trading.
