Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the results post for Challenge 7: Return on Investment (Buy your Coin). This is the final challenge in this series of challenges. This post contains the results of this final challenge as well as the results of the overall challenge series.

What is the Return on Investment (Buy your Coin) Challenge?


Out of the seven challenges, this challenge is the most basic. It simply involves selecting the cryptocurrency most likely to increase most in value over a 7-day period. Participants are given the choice of 12 coins to buy. Participants could focus on one coin, a few coins, or spread their risk over all 12 coins. To win the challenge, a participant must earn the highest profit.

Responses to the challenge are made in the comments section of the challenge post. The account with the winning entry will receive Hive equivalent to 5 times the number of participants (e.g. if the challenge has 6 participants, the prize will be 30 Hive (5 × 6)). The maximum prize for this challenge is 60 Hive. In addition to the winning prize, the first 12 entries are given upvotes. In addition to the prize in Hive, the winner receives 25 points, second place 15 points, and third place 10 points; these points contribute to determining the overall challenge series winner.

The format of the required entry is explained in detail in the challenge itself.
