This is the 5th report corresponding to the follow up of the 2018 CRYPTO RACE.

• After a short survey launched in steemit , 9 ''WINNING HORSES'' were selected for the 2018 CRYPTO RACE (You can see the starting grid in this POST ) .

• For each horse, 1000 USD has been invested on the 1st of January.

• Guys. This week has been terrible... The 9 horses stopped abruptly to eat some grass of the pitch!!!!

• On the Current lap (Week 5), LITECOIN (LTC) has misserably ''won'' losing only 14.68%...

The rest of horses just managed to ''only'' lose between 20 and 36% .

• In the tail of the RATS cue we have TRON[TRX] which has lost almost 36% this lap, also BITSHARES has done a very bad work this time with -35.5% (SHIT!!! That was my horse!!!)

• In only one week we have passed form having 18% profits to losing -15% . That's kinda crazy man!!!! . From the initial ''virtual'' Investment of 9000 USD (1000 USD per horse) after 5 weeks we have....7646 USD!!!! :
  

  

• The OVERALL race is still dominated by STEEM with 51% profit since the initial investment on the 1st of January, followed by STELLAR (21%) and EOS (18%). The cue is occupied by RIPPLE(XRP) which is now losing 59%.
