This is the 14th 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](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@toofasteddie/2018-winning-horses-grid-selected-2018-crypto-race-started) ) . - For each horse, 1000 USD has been invested on the 1st of January. - ## On the current lap seems that our horses start to take the race seriously. All of them showing positive performance compared with the last week but, in particular STEEM is really doing a good run right now! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbTWNdbeYJqEsWqokyLarZuoNcJzshWgcgCDEzgUcPD3g/image.png) - As I said, STEEM has won the lap with more than 31% profit in a week, followed by TRON (19.4%) and BITSHARES (12.7%) - The rest of horses within 1 and 7% profit as well. - The worst Horse has been STELLAR (XLM) which profit has been a little more than 1% ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ6WmSjBwf8fcAh4FqLGQFrjeg6vAoHHerK9NeBQybsFZ/image.png) ---- - From the initial ''virtual'' Investment of 9000 USD (1000 USD per horse) after 12 weeks we have....4151USD... we are on our way to recover half of the investment now! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX4dd7ajQJ4p42MCfqGBqHLLvv7jGY21yqCjFHBATnhfa/image.png) - The **OVERALL** race is now dominated by TRON losing -16% since the initial investment on the 1st of January, followed by EOS (-32%). The cue is occupied by RIPPLE(XRP) which is now losing -78%. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPxTGdZkCb5Yahnud47JdzXoxqYjrYcMiHLuR2FEV6AEy/image.png) Remember that you can always check the **WINNING HORSES PORTFOLIO** following this link: https://www.cryptocompare.com/portfolio-public/?id=229404

No one bet on STEEM this time so the 50% of the SBD of [this](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@toofasteddie/horse-of-the-week-wk13-and-contest-indigestion) are accumulated as a jackpot for the current lap.
