| Top 12 Cryptocurrencies Ranked by Risk-Adjusted Return Posted: 03 Dec 2017 09:32 AM PST TL;DR: The Sharpe Ratio is an excellent tool to assess risk-adjusted return on an investment. 4 cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Dash, Monero, and Bitcoin Cash) all have Sharpe Ratio's over 2, which signals a good investment per risk involved. The Long VersionHow many people have told you that cryptocurrencies are too risky? A fraud? A Ponzi Scheme? Bitcoin has increased over 1,500% over the last year, but none of this is new. Cryptocurrencies have been on a tear unlike anything we have ever seen…just look at how it compares to the various bubbles of the past: Full Disclosure: not calling it a bubble…just providing context! Comparison of Bitcoin to Past Bubbles But you…you are a savvy investor. Outsized gains tell us nothing except something increased from a little to alot. Total Returns are not adjusted for riskLet's take the following quiz…one is the right answer, but you won't be graded for it. Which of the following investments would you rather be in?
Both investments have the same return, but which would you choose? I'll give you some ti…oh you already have an answer? You choose #2? Exactly. Most investors look at total returns over various timeframes — one-day, one-month, one-year— when evaluating an investment. These returns are misleading since they aren't adjusted for risk. Just look at the example above —Crypto A made a massive return on the initial investment, but that does not mean it was a compelling investment opportunity.
If only there was a better way… What is the Sharpe Ratio?The ELI5 Version of the Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is a measure used heavily in the finance world for calculating risk-adjusted returns. The calculation solves the issue of misleading total returns by taking the average return earned above the risk-free rate per unit of volatility or total risk — an absolute measure of risk. Investors can directly compare multiple investments and evaluate the amount of risk taken on to generate the same percentage points of return, which makes for a much fairer comparison. While this does make for a much better comparison, you are smart and know that even though something may have a higher Sharpe Ratio, that does not indicate it is less volatile…the higher ratio actually indicated that the investment risk-to-reward profile is much better or proportional vs. another. So for this article, I will show you how to implement the Sharpe Ratio in the wonderful world of cryptocurrencies. Top Cryptocurrencies by Sharpe RatioWith your new, sweet investment tool, you can calculate the Sharpe Ratios of top cryptocurrencies. But because I love you (and to save time), I went ahead and did it for you: Top 12 Cryptocurrencies by Sharpe Ratio Not surprisingly, Bitcoin ranks as the top risk-adjusted earning cryptocurrency from the top 12. Even though Bitcoin is very volatile, the returns have matched the craziness. What is interesting to me, is all the way at the bottom — our dear friend NEO, aka the "Chinese Ethereum". A Sharpe Ratio of 0.03 in an industry of 1s, 2s, 3s, and a 4 is honestly…terrible. But a large portion of this is due to NEO stumbling out of the gate after getting listed on Bitfinex, with returns of -18%, -13%, and -24% in the first 10 days of trading. My Gift to you — a tool to automatically calculate Sharpe RatioA post from me would not be complete without a tool for you to utilize what we just talked about. The spreadsheet pulls in the top 12 cryptocurrencies from the Bitfinex exchange, and calculates the Sharpe Ratio for each. The user can modify the risk free rate, calculations, and any of the currencies currently being pulled. First time install The tool is nice and simple to use. It requires about 2 minutes to setup, then after that you are good to go.

| Horizon State (HST) just announced a partnership with the UN. Posted: 03 Dec 2017 03:50 PM PST "This collaboration creates one of the first UN IGO and blockchain partnerships, and aims to accelerate change and innovate with purpose in order to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), founded on the importance of enhancing global standards for justice and strong institutions with disruptive technology." Bringing distributed ledger to any voting process seems like a solid application.

| Has any Alts done better against BTC in 2017 Posted: 03 Dec 2017 10:06 AM PST Not looking at the USD charts but the BTC charts has any ALT brought in better returns in satoshi ? I was looking at my portfolio and yes I've made great returns in USD but when switching over to the alt charts I could have done better leaving it in bitcoin [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Dec 2017 12:04 PM PST I'm a total noob to all this, but I'm feeling the need to get in on the frenzy. Still, the concerns about bitcoin's energy usage seem legitimate, and could inhibit its long term growth. Are there "green" coins? If so, which are most promising? Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| Transfer from Coinbase to Binance Posted: 03 Dec 2017 09:00 PM PST Just transferred roughly 1 bitcoin from coinbase to binance. Its already been 20 minutes. Anybody with experience can tell me how long should it take? [link] [comments]  | ||
| I just discovered Crypto currency. I have lots of noob questions listed below. Posted: 03 Dec 2017 08:36 PM PST (1) How does crypto currency get its value? How does it hold its value? (2) Is this basically the stock market? (3) Why are there so many different crypto currencies? What's the difference? (4) How are coins created? (5) Can anybody produce a coin? (6) Are there common scams/schemes to watch out for? If so, what are they? (7) How does a person mine? Can they mine any coin or just Bitcoin? (8) Opinions on GTCOIN? Here's a link to the website. (9) How do you begin trading? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Our GAINS in US dollar don’t mean a thing? Posted: 03 Dec 2017 07:37 PM PST Made this thread a few hours ago to get a better understanding of my portfolio https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/7hb64z/has_any_alts_done_better_against_btc_in_2017/ after a few talks I've come to the conclusion that the gains in my portfolio in US dollar my local currency don't mean a thing unless I sell my coin/token for US dollar. Now the problem with that is on trading platforms there with the exception of a few like IOTA there isn't many. insert coin here/USD markets. So you will likely be trading your x1000 coin for bitcoin which you may have only did x60 in gains. Which could of did x100 if you had just left it in bitcoin. Now when you sell that alt you are at a lost unless you sell that alt to someone for USD. Do the math yourself add up your net cost value for a coin you bought plus the BTC gains. Now add up that same coin net value cost plus the BTC gains from when you sold your BTC for that alt My conclusion is I'm finding Alts that are pennies I believe in to go all in on for x100 x1000 returns for 2018 because I don't think bitcoin will bring me more than x2 x5 returns I will then buy back into bitcoin with my btc gains [link] [comments]  | ||
| [For Fun] You are given $ to build a portfolio of 5 coins. What coins are you including? Posted: 03 Dec 2017 11:16 AM PST Since it's a slow Sunday (other than in the market), I figured why not see what people think about their top 5 coins they believe in. I am not asking what you currently own, but rather if you were to start today, being given money to build a porfolio (like a fund manager), what would you go with? I think I would build mine around: BTC, ETH, VTC, ADA, XMR. "What's in your wallet?" - SLJ [link] [comments]  | ||

| ALTS are going Supernova or am I tripping ? Posted: 03 Dec 2017 05:17 PM PST I'm not to great and reading charts I currently have close to 100 in my watch list and maybe 50% of them look like they are gearing up to go moon in first quarter of 2018 for example Lunyr (LUN) looking at the one year chart most of these Alts look similar or do I have more learning to do ?

| anyone tried trading based on announcements coming up? Posted: 03 Dec 2017 12:37 PM PST So recently I have been noticing that a lot of crypto currencies go up either the day before or the following days after a big announcement. I was able to ride the ripple wave which occurred with their conference the other month. And I was wondering has anyone else tried this as a trading strategy, ie buy coins which are just about to have a large announcement in the expectation they will go up and sell a few days later regardless. So I was looking at this site specifically http://coinmarketcal.com/?page=1 and two good examples there would be lomocoin and Stratis, as they have had some large releases over the weekend, (I have noticed Lomocoin has already started trending up but Stratis seems fairly stable). Now I understand that generally the announcement is meant to be priced into the stock, but with the lack of institutional investors in a lot of these altcoins and poor communication lines, I wonder in many cases if users just aren't aware until after the announcement is posted on the bigger reddit pages. Has anyone used this method to trade profitably? [link] [comments]  | ||
