I've decided I want to add a control of sorts to my investment experiments. And I think I've come with a decent idea. I was going to have my friends and followers pick a weekly coin (which I'm still going to do) but that doesn't real fit the bill since the coin will change every week and most of you probably know more about crypto than I do.
Mysolution? I'm going to have my wife, who doesn't give two shits about crypto, pick a coin for me to hodl for the year. I will use the same parameters as the other coins, weekly buy from steem earnings, same day each week for each coin.
I think this adds a new dimension to this experiment. First off it will show whether my research into the coins I've chosen was solid. Second it should show if the research even matters when it comes to crypto (is picking a coin at random a valid strategy?). Third it might actually get my wife interested in crypto. I think this will be an exciting new wrinkle to my project. I mean what happens if my wifes coin makes more money than all of my choices combined?
So right now our seven hodls are looking like:
Cardano
NEO
Wife's Choice
Follower's Weekly Pick
OmiseGo (tentative)
TenX (tentative)
Ubiq (tentaive)
So I still have three days I'm not fully set on. I'm still considering Litecoin and Verge. Not sure which coins I'd swap out though. My first payouts hit pretty soon so I will start with the coins I'm fully set on and hope my indecision goes away in the next week. I'm still open to suggestions as well but I know you are all saving your coins for the pick of the week!
Take us away HODLman...
