Premise
Your friend, Buddy, is bragging about trading cyptocurrency. He says that he recently made gains of 3.1%, and he challenges you to make better trading decisions than him.
You start with an identical porfolio, make the same number of decisions, trade at the same prices, and get the same sentiment reports.
Playing
Every time Buddy makes a trade, he sends you a text message. He picks the cryptocurrency. You decide whether you want to buy, hold, or sell some of it.
The game starts in the past and ends today. This morning's prices are used to determine the winner. The largest-value portfolio wins. In the rare event of a tie, it goes to Buddy.
