I choose 17-Dec-2017 for comparison as it was the day when BTC hit the previous all time high.
Given $1,000 invested in different top cryptocurrencies on this day, how much will you have today?
Scenario 1 - invested $500 in top 2 coins - gain 217.51%
| Top | Coins | 2017 Price | 2021 Today Price | 2017 Invested | 2021 Value | Percentage | Gain (Loss) % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BTC | 19,140.76 | 42,900.51 | $500.00 | $1,120.66 | 224.13% | 124.13% |
| 2 | ETH | 719.88 | 2,958.30 | $500.00 | $2,054.3 | 410.89% | 310.89% |
| Total | Top 2 | $1,000.00 | $3,175.09 | 317.51% | 217.51% |
Let's consider another strategy...

Commentary
BTC and ETH are still the safest bet
ADA has gained a lot so far
Scam projects like Bitconnectttttt deserved to go and the owners go to jail
TRX is an outlier here
Many top projects back then are still not recovering to its 2017 ATH, even though they are legitimate projects. Some have lost over 80% token value (which means they need to increase by over 500% to reach previous ATH) such as DASH, PPT.
