Your strategy differs from rpietila's because you've exceeded the maximum bet on cryptocurrencies. You've put everything you have in one investment with a large chance of failure.
To be fair, the sum of my assets is five digits (in USD), not seven or eight. I'm sure I'll be more cautious when I have a large army to wield instead of just a small tactical force.
Mel Gibson did not beat the British in Braveheart 2: MURICA because he conservatively managed his forces. He used his mobility to swing into positions a larger force would never dream of, and as a result scored massive victories against much larger units.
My five figures is very similar. I can move fairly quickly into a new asset without causing the tsunami that Risto would if he tried to move at the same (relative) pace.
As always, I defer to Agar.io. The blob starts small and is advised not to be too risky while it's young... But if it doesn't eventually make some kind of move, the larger forces will eventually gobble it up. Once you are in control of one of those larger blobs, you will have to move slower and be more cautious, but I'm not there yet.
Really, master Agar.io and you will master poker, investing, and war. Risto is a big ass blob, taking reasonable risks and I'm a medium sized one making calculated advances trying to increase my size. It bodes well that both of us seem to be focused on the same advantageous opportunities while not being in direct competition (due to being of different magnitudes).
Of course, even Risto must be cautious. The biggest blob on the board is the Federal Reserve, and when
it moves it might do so at a glacial pace, but the entire game board must take notice or be crushed against the wall. Also, pay attention to how most of the reigns of large blobs end in that game... Rarely do they shrivel away to nothing - usually they collapse in a spectacular explosion that sees many competing entities gobbling up the now exposed value (just like how the USSR and other empires fell).
