Here at Reno Blockchain, we are currently a group of 12 blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who have created 2 competing cryptocurrency speculation teams:
1- the Bitcoin Bulldogs, and
2- the Winklevoss Wildcats.
The Bulldogs have chosen a strategy where they remain loyal to Bitcoin and ONLY speculate on Bitcoin positions. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are free to choose any coin or coin/currency pair for their positions. We have finished Week 1 of Round 9 of 2018 (from 8/12/2018 through 9/08/2018). Each round is always 4 weeks (28 days) long and each week runs from Sunday 12:00 AM through Saturday night 11:59 PM. Each team started on 1/28 with $2500.00 and after 203 days, here is the ranking history up until the final week of Round 8:

As you can see, while the entire crypto market has fallen another 1% this week, it is down over 62% of its value in the past 203 days. The Wildcats are down almost 67% (a 2.5% rise from last week while buying back into Bitcoin when it "dips") while the Bulldogs have gained almost 1.5% from last week to -16.68% (with over 60% exposure to Bitcoin). The Wildcats currently have over 7% of their resources in USD ready, just in case, for the Bitcoin price to fall. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have been "buying dips" too. They now have over 22% of their resources in USD which keeps them in a position to buy more Bitcoin- looking for dips where the price falls below $6K or even $5K.
