At the end of last year I had a question: what would happen if I gave ChatGPT $100 to trade crypto?

Would it 10x my money? Or would I end up with nothing?

My rules for this challenge were simple:

  1. I could only use ChatGPT for my research.
  2. Every morning I’d ask ChatGPT for what trades to make.

30 days, $100.

Let’s look at what happened.

I started by creating a strategy.

ChatGPT gave me very standard advice: keep your portfolio 60–70% BTC and ETH, 20–25% altcoins and 5–10% memecoins/high-risk plays.

A very basic formula to minimise risk without losing too many returns. But that didn’t stop me from asking it to give me higher-risk plays later on.

Since I didn’t want to lose all my money through transaction fees, I asked it to give me a basic portfolio using cheaper chains.

It suggested looking at Base, Cosmos and Solana.

My day-one portfolio looked like this.
