$25,000 aggressive portfolio is now worth $50,579 after 3 months

Abstract

Gleaned on data from the last few crypto bull markets, I designed a new $25,000 (as of January 1, 2024) crypto portfolio aimed at growing into $1,000,000 (by mid-2025). The portfolio gained 102% (note the 41% shown on the screenshot above is not accounting for the use of leverage) in the first 3 months and is now worth $50,579, in comparison a direct investment in Bitcoin alone did a 45% return. This portfolio primarily targets Decentralized Artificial Intelligence, DeFi & TradeFi, SocialFi, GambleFi with a higher focus on tokens that might be SEC compliant. The full portfolio is shown on CoinGecko. This is by no means financial advice, it is purely a track record of my own investments in the crypto industry and growth target for various assets that I believe in. I could be entirely wrong and suffer massive losses. As well, the portfolio will have some re-allocation and use leverage in certain cases to maximize returns even though this is highly risky. For changes to the portfolio, I will keep my community informed on x.com/Crypto_Rookies. In the last month, the market has mainly gone sideways, so no new trades were needed.

Bitcoin grew 69.75% since January 1, 2024

Introduction

Every four years, the crypto industry undergoes massive growth until the market crashes again. If timing follows past patterns, the next crash may be somewhere after mid 2025. Until then, it is likely that momentum from Bitcoin & Ethereum ETF will fuel early growth into the market. As well, the GAAP accounting rules will be modified to be more favorable to crypto assets, and finally the US election will be occurring which means additional liquidity into the market. Overall, we can expect some narrative of the crypto industry to vastly outperform others. I have selected primarily the Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (DeAI), SocialFi, GambleFi, DeFi & TradeFi to be the sector of high potential growth. As well, I have focused on crypto assets that could be viewed as SEC compliant such that we may see additional potential buying volume from large institutional investors such as pension plans, etc.

This is the second progress update since the launch of this aggressive crypto portfolio.

  1. January 1, 2024 — Initial Portfolio Creation
  2. February 2, 2024 — Progress Update after 1st month
  3. March 3, 2024 — Progress Update after 2nd month
  4. April 9, 2024 — Progress Update after 3rd month

Portfolio — Target Peak Prices

Take a look at the evolving portfolio on CoinGecko. You may refer to a previous blog post I wrote about potential fully diluted market cap predictions for various crypto assets and the rationale behind.

Price Targets of all Portfolio Allocation

Summary

This is a crypto portfolio with high potential. Note that there are very few low cap crypto projects at the moment, and this is because I plan on re-allocating capital to them as they get launched in the next 6 to 12 months. While the crypto market is growing, there will be a period of momentary downturn that could be as high as a 30% dip. I have experienced this many times in the past, and patience is key. Day traders try to time these dips using technical analysis of charts, but you often lose out in such cases, after all, 90% of traders actually lose money.
