Welcome to the Crypto Olympics: Day 6!
Coin vs. Coin – who will be crowned the Crypto Olympics Champ?
Another exciting round is underway, as the winners from day 4 and 5 go head to head! Our competing coins today will be Ethereum (ETH) vs. Ripple (XRP).
In case you’ve missed it, these are the rules: we start with two coins and measure their gains and losses between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm PST. When the 4:00 pm finish line hits, whichever coin has gained the most (or lost the least if both coins are down) within our time frame is crowned the winner for the day and moves into the next bracket. We carry on until we end with our ultimate coin – the Crypto Olympics Champ.
We will be holding a podium ceremony at the end of our games to award the gold, silver and bronze medals to the appropriate coins.
Obviously, this is just for fun and games, and should not be taken as serious advice.
To see how we’re breaking up the rounds, check out the chart below. Otherwise, let’s get on with the competition!
The market is in the green today – and Ripple is starting the competition in somewhat of a lead, can Ethereum catch up?

Please note, this is just for fun and you shouldn’t take any sort of investing advice from these posts.
