100$ Split Into Top 10 Cryptocurrencies Every Week. Week #40 - $4000 In

Intro

It's week 40. This means we are $4000 deep into the crypto market. And this experiment has been running for the better part of the year. There are only 12 weeks left until 2023. We have seen ups and downs. But sadly mostly downs. And we are still quite deep in the red territory. But this is all about the long game. We will keep going and waiting for the overall market sentiment to change.

About the experiment

Follow along my journey of investing 100$ every week split equally into the Top 10 cryptocurrencies at the time. I will post updates about the overall growth of my experimental portfolio as well as some insights about the biggest winners and losers of the portfolio.I am not including stablecoins in my experiment, and will not be staking or earning interest on any cryptocurrency in this experimental portfolio. The purpose of this experiment is to see if investing weekly in Top 10 cryptocurrencies is a feasible long-term investment strategy and to measure it against other common strategies. For the purposes of this experiment, I will also not take into account trading fees, so I can invest an equal amount of dollar value into each of the cryptocurrencies.
