Following last month’s astounding performance (+47%), I expected March to be more subdued. However, the opposite has proven to be true. Bitcoin rose nicely by 12.6%, a solid result. But the real news is that our portfolio has smashed it this month with a gain of 25.9%. This marks two consecutive months of record-breaking returns.
There have been several factors contributing to this success, but the main one is our strategic investment in Lucidao (LCD), a project we considered to be greatly undervalued. In March, our position in LCD gained 421%. This project has been part of our portfolio since July 2022, but due to its high risk as a small project with a low market capitalization, our investment had been quite modest until recently. Over the past few months, the Lucidao team has achieved significant successes that went unnoticed in their pricing, prompting me to buy in more aggressively at very favorable prices at the beginning of March. In March, the price hit a historic low, allowing me to acquire significantly larger positions at 0.0047€ and 0.0054€.
Blackrock’s announcement, the massive American fund manager with $9.1 trillion under management, about the launch of a blockchain fund on the Ethereum blockchain, has drawn considerable attention to projects that offer ‘Real World Assets’ on the blockchain. Lucidao, which specializes in tokenizing luxury products, benefited from this. This news resulted in an increase in interest in LCD, leading to a price surge to 0.031€ (+559%). Although the price has retreated somewhat after this move, the profits from well-timed transactions have been substantial.
In addition to LCD, Blackrock’s announcement also brought positive attention to MLN, a project that facilitates fund management on the blockchain, in which I have also shown interest. We plan to increase our position in MLN to 1% of the total portfolio in April. Moreover, MKR (Makerdao) and MENDI also performed exceptionally well, with gains of 76% and 337% respectively (only 0.2% of the portfolio was allocated to MENDI to these due to high risks.

With the Bitcoin halving on the horizon, I expect more price volatility next month. But we’ll keep cool and stay patient. In any case, it’s a great time to be investing in Cryptocurrencies!
Happy Easter, enjoy the holidays.
