Educational Value

Premise

Your friend, Buddy, has taken a loss of 9.6% trading cyptocurrency this past year. But lately, he's been bragging about his profits. So, you challenged him to a competition.

You will both start with portfolios worth the same amount, make the same number of trading decisions, and use the same information. The one who profits most wins.

Playing

Every time Buddy makes a trade, he sends you a text message. He picks a cryptocurrency. Then you get to make one decision about your portfolio.

Portfolios can contain both US dollars and cryptocurrencies. Depending on what you have, you can buy, sell, or hold.

The game starts in the past and ends today. The largest portfolio wins. This morning's prices are used to determine the winner. In the rare event of a tie, it goes to your buddy.
