This is the 4th report corresponding to the follow up of the 2018 CRYPTO RACE.

• After a short survey launched in steemit , 9 ''WINNING HORSES'' were selected for the 2018 CRYPTO RACE (You can see the starting grid in this POST ) .

• For each horse, 1000 USD has been invested on the 1st of January.

• This week there are two groups of horses, the ones behaving as they are, so PURE BREED Horses and the ones acting as PURE RATS. In the first group, BITSHARES, STELLAR, STEEM and EOS , in the second the rest of the horses...

• On the Current lap (Week 4), BITSHARES (BTS) has won for very little difference from the 2nd, STELLAR and the third, STEEM.
  BITSHARES managed to get 21.8% while STELLAR and STEEM with 16.6% and 11.3% correspondingly since exactly 7 days ago, at the time I'm writing this post.

• In the tail of the RATS cue we have RIPPLE which has lost more than 21% this lap.

• From the initial ''virtual'' Investment of 9000 USD (1000 USD per horse), the profit in 4 weeks is being positive (17.79%):
  

  

• The OVERALL race is now dominated by STEEM with 103% profit since the initial investment on the 1st of January, followed by STELLAR (72%) and EOS (64%). TRON(TRX) which has been the KING during thew first 3 weeks of the year has free fallen to the 4th position of the race.
