(Challenge Update) - Always has been ETH.
Ok, I know that I posted this morning but whatever, I'm revamping again my challenge.

![alwayshasbeeneth.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ9Dz784um3TAN5Tp7c7jX72Q7vaiYc4Nz2tWspwfokVc/alwayshasbeeneth.png)


I'm sorry, because I can't get rid of my shitcoinery, But I almost 'knew' that 40K$ for BTC was a local top and I just can't sit there seeing my BTC holdings bleed and do nothing while I see the 'alt season year' unleash in front of my eyes. 

I can't, sorry. 

I'm getting rid of another of my auto-imposed norms; 'Hodl BTC at whatever price', from now on this will be a 'Trading Challenge'. 

I'll keep doing what I was already doing with the BSC pools, and I'll do my best to avoid touching the principal unless I see it as strictly necessary (as I'm seeing it right now). I'll keep adding funds periodically as I've been doing until now. 

Excel stays now as follows, I added this section at the footer, I'll flip again into BTC when my gut tells me to do it.

![eth.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmasirDiKkXmseiYwh77VAavMssr6FD1q8uiUUMsjWJ2dY/eth.png)

Regarding Venus, I've returned all the the BUSD borrowed (required to cashout BTC) and for now I'm 100% into the VAI staking pool for a 30% APY.

I'm going to keep it simple for a few days until I get used to how the collateralization numbers move around.

Overall summary:

![watchout.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmePgM8AiSbXbhptZaMCudWCQkt4GV9DMqXnwatAN2h2Hk/watchout.png)

ETH has a higher supply ratio, so even borrowing 500$ less I'm able to almost keep that ~3$ in daily earnings. And with the 100% of the borrowing position into a stablecoin. Feeling satisfied with that for now.

Keep in mind that, unlike BTC, ETH isn't that 'stable' and for that reason there's not a big point borrowing BUSD to buy BNB. Rules change if your 'main' is into ETH.

Anyway, this isn't what matters in the end.

### Wake me up when BTC.D tops

Yes, seems that's happening.

Bitcoin is stabilizing between 30-40K$ now and while it cools off some money will flow into altcoins. The first one to benefit will be, obviously, ETH.

![altseason.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRfJ4M9LL1k36jDu4qEQmwvGbhjoPm7b2SDrfAaAC3C6b/altseason.png)

Pay attention, because next weeks could be a firework party and some alts started to shoot up already. We still have ground until the previous summer lows.

Not to mention if it goes lower.

![altseason2021.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYEZy5869kQ4akgpPy5kPs4qiBF9SH7yqDTpVn8reGf1C/altseason2021.png)

SoonΒ© we'll know. Pay attention because just being there now could be lifechanging. 

Thanks for reading me. Fingers crossed.

Altcoins are definitely heating up and investment in certain ones like ETH should reap decent rewards.

A lot of alts are showing a lot of resilience vs Bitcoin right now. Somewhat expected, as BTC still needs some time to cool off from the last monstrous run.

Glad to see you there! Hope you're enjoying LeoFinance.

ETH is starting to feel like an altcoin no more. Nevertheless as for the alts. Hive and rune seems to be doing well. With the former gradually heading to 15 cents. Hopefully the moon season isn't over.

For a moment I thought you looked at the planets to decide what to do haha :>)

I like your way of investing. I think we should all do what we feel is best for us. Nobody really knows what gonna happen, we can only guess and keep anticipating / tweaking or just hold long term, for those who don't need the funds and don't like taking risk.

I hope your strategy works out for you :<)

I feel this decision point also. I really like ETH and have a lot of capitol tied up in Bitcoin. I really want to invest in three more coins Chainlink, Rune and Dot. But they are expensive, so a thousand dollars doesn’t go far. Really need some of my Bitcoin capitol. Are you looking at anything other then ETH?

Personally, I would only hold BTC/ETH and maybe some BNB from the top 20. Too high in mcap for my taste, look at my other response:
