The Crypto Contest is Back!

The Goal

Pick a lineup of three cryptocurrencies that you think will perform best over the next week. At the end of the week, I will calculate the ROI of each player's crypto lineup. The crypto lineup with the highest ROI wins 50 SBD + 50% of all earnings from this series of posts! There will be 8 total posts in this series (this post, 6 leaderboard updates, and one final winner announcement), so upvoting and resteeming all of them will increase the prize pool!

Determining The Winner

The starting price listed above is the starting price that will be used in the final ROI calculation. ROI will be calculated as though an equal amount of money was invested in each of your three picks. Keep in mind that ROI is percentage return on investment, so all you care about is percentage gains. Final prices will be locked 1 week from the time of this post, and are determined from coincap.io.

Leaderboard Updates

Every day, a leaderboard will be posted showing every player's current ROI and rank. Check back daily to see where you stand.

Do Price Increases Count Before Lineups Lock?

Yes! The starting price listed above is final, so if one of the currencies gets a big head start feel free to switch your pick up until lineups lock, 24 hours after this post is created. Any changes after 24 hours will not count. I would advise you to get your picks in early however, to make sure you're participating, and then edit them if needed.

When Will Payout Happen?

The 50 SBD prize will be paid out immediately after the winner announcement. The 50% post earnings payout will be paid once all post earnings from the series have been resolved (7 days after the final post)
