This is the 8th report corresponding to the follow up of the 2018 CRYPTO RACE.

• After a short survey launched in steemit , 9 ''WINNING HORSES'' were selected for the 2018 CRYPTO RACE (You can see the starting grid in this POST ) .
• For each horse, 1000 USD has been invested on the 1st of January.

• On the Current lap (Week 8), a couple of Grizzly Bears have appeared in the middle of the Stadium Track and they are... still... COPULATING like...well, like BEARS!!!!

Image Source.

• All our horses have stopped running and started going rearwards as RATS again...
• Only LITECOIN (LTC) seems to be skilled enough to just see that the bears are only copulating and may not attack once they finish because is more than a week doing the same and they should be tired already.
• LITECOIN has won losing ONLY around 12% ...
• Worst horses has been all the rest having lost between 20 and 27% in a week... Seems that STELLAR has lead the RATS to the forest...

---

• During this week our beloved horses have managed to get and overall lose of -30.5% since the date of the investment. As I said, what a F..cking RATS!!!

• From the initial ''virtual'' Investment of 9000 USD (1000 USD per horse) after 8 weeks we have....6256 USD!!!!

• The OVERALL race is still dominated by STEEM winning a ridiculous 8% profit since the initial investment on the 1st of January, followed by STELLAR (-5.5%) and TRON (-10.5%). The cue is occupied by BITSHARES(BTS) which is now losing 68%.
