“You can’t lose, if you buy them all!” TOP50 coins by Market Cap, 4 years later.

Recently, I saw a quote from Pokémon here. A quote that can be applied to crypto as well. “You can’t lose if you buy them all!”, whether the guys are joking or they’re serious, let’s Iook at the numbers.I managed to find a snapshot from 04/23/2017 4~ years ago to calculate the numbers and percentages, to see where we would be standing, if we invested lump sum of money (20$) into every coin from TOP 50. Is that Pokémon legacy working? Let’s take a look at the numbers.NOTE: The numbers that are being used, might not be 100% accurate. If you’re mobile user and you can’t see the %, just swipe on the chart. If you find any mistakes, just let me know and I will correct them :)ShortcutName of the coinAmount today%1.BTCBitcoin878$4293%2.ETHEthereum872$4260%3.XRPRipple835$4077%4.LTCLitecoin308$1541%5.DASHDash85$328%6.ETCEthereum Classic215$976%7.XEMNEM238$1.091%8.XMRMonero325$1627%9.REPAugur64$218%10.MAIDMaidSafeCoin98$391%11.GNTGolem72$260%12.DCRDecred281$1307%13.ZECZcash68$243%14.BCCBitConnectHey hey heeeeeey!Memes forever !15.PIVXPIVX24$20%16.FCTFactom8$-58%17.StratStratis68$240%18.DOGEDogeCoin16 997$84 889%19.WAVESWaves567$2 736%20.STEEMSteem87$335%21.USDTTether22$9%22.GAMEGameCredits6$-70%23.DGDDigixDAO438$2 093%24.LSKLisk295$1 376%25.ICNIconomi148$642%26.SNGLSSingularDTV10$-50%27.BTSBitShares190$854%28.XLMStellar2 896$14 384%29.BCNBytecoin103$417%30.ARDRArdor281$1 308%31.ROUNDRound0$-100%32.GBYTEObyte14$-28%33.1STFirstBlood433$2 068%34.PPCPeercoin23$16%35.RLCiExec RLC162$714%36.NXTNxt70$250%37.SJCXStorjcoin X0.12$-99%38.LKKLykke1.8$-92%39.EMCEmercoin8$-59%40.SCSiacoin1 113$5 469%41.MLNMelon62$213%42.ARKArk208$940%43.KMDKomodo339$1 598%44.SYSSyscoin257$1 188%45.NXSNexus84$321%46.XZCZcoin33$66%47.NLGGulden13$-34%48.XAURXaurum3,4$-83%49.CRBCreditBit0$-100%50.NMCNamecoin52$160%From all of the top 50 coins, 12 are negative in red, or not existent anymore (one of them is still in our hearts, looking at you Carlos), while 38 are positive, up in green! The order of these coins is exactly the same as it was in 04/23/2017, based on their market cap. Some of these coins rebranded or renamed themselves. For example: Zcoin is now Firo.I know that hindsight is 20/20, but I found it quite awesome to see and share, how most of the coins are even after 4 years still in green with many Xs. In conclusion, if you tried to follow a “You can’t lose, if you buy them all!” or “Gotta catch ‘em all!” Pokémon legacy quote, you wild be in green. The initial investment of 1000$, spread out at every coin from Top 50, by 20$ each would now be worth approximately ~29.200$Good job crypto trainers!
