Hi all,
On July I did a prediction for some of the currencies I was holding at the time.
(Here is the post: https://steemit.com/steem/@gibiuk/bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-golem-factom-steem-dollars-steem-price-prediciton-july-2017).
Let's see how I have done and how the cryptoworld has behaved compared to the expectations.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Price in July: $2,660
Prediction end 2017: $5,000 (~+90%) - as many people thing
Price today: $18,000 (~+580%) - I was wrong, I was pessimist, and I was WRONG! But I have to say that in July the most optimistic people were talking about $8/10,000. So, $18,000 with high over $19,000 was very unexpected.
Ethereum (ETH)
Price in July: $318
Prediction end 2017: $600 (~+90%) - as many people thing
Price today: $820 (~+150%) - Not very wrong on this, considering that I have specified that all my forecast were "low". Anyway a good surprise by Ethereum, although it has been a bad choice compared to Bitcoin.
Ripple (XRP)
Price in July: $0.27
Prediction end 2017: $0.60 (~+120%) - as many people thing
Price today: $0.81(~+200%) - As per Ethereum, not very wrong on this. Rripple has been a bad choice compared to Bitcoin as well, although the very high potential.
Factom (FCT)
Price in July: $31.36
Prediction end 2017: $100 (~+220%)
Price today: $43.88 (~+45%) - Big delusion!!! No more comment on this one :(
Golem (GNT)
Price in July: $0.654
Prediction end 2017: $4.50 (~+590%)
Price today: $0.586 (~-10%) - This one has been one that I didn't really get. It is probably the only one that had an actual loss since July. Very disappointing
Steem dollars (SBD)
Price in July: $1.73
Prediction end 2017: $2.50 (~+45%)
Price today: $15.53 (~+800%) - BOOM!! One of the few currency that in the year have done better than Bitcoin. What a surprise, especially considering that all happened in the last month and that STEEM is actually around $3.00. We will see what happens in the next couple of months.
Stratis (STRAT)
Price in July: $7.98
Prediction end 2017: $15.00 (~+86%)
Price today: $12.60 (~+60%) - I was very close on this :)
Einstenium (EMC2)
Price in July: $0.0842
Prediction end 2017: $0.33 (~+300%)
Price today: $2.44 (~+2800%) - $100 worth of Einstenium in July, today would be almost $3,000. It has grown around 500% against bitcoin!!! Not a bad investment :P
MaidSafeCoin (MAID)
Price in July: $0.5441
Prediction end 2017: $1.10 (~+100%)
Price today: $0.787 (~+50%)
SiaCoin (SC)
Price in July: $0.0176
Prediction end 2017: $0.04 (~+150%)
Price today: $0.0166 (~-10%)
Overall was not bad!!!
I can say that if somebody invested in some of these based on my post, well, he/she didn't do that bad.
I will make a new one soon. I have moved my assets, so new currencies are in the bank. The most interesting is EOS!!!
