📊🤔 Swan Bitcoin reveals harsh altcoin data: HODLing, a winning strategy for #BTC, fails for alts.

Here's a timeline of how long the big names in the altcoin world have lost 90% of their value against BTC:

#QTUM - 17 months
#POL Polygon - 23 months
#ICP Internet Computer - 24 months
#ADA Cardano - 36 months
#XRP Ripple - 36 months
#LTC Litecoin - 69 months

Qubic mined about 80% of Monero blocks in two hours, generating a total of 750 XMR and 7 million XTM.
