Countinghouse Review — Part 1

Countinghouse — Putting trust in the algorithm

One of the most commonly noted arguments for the astronomical rise of cryptocurrencies is for the purpose of tokens as an investment vehicle. Many initial coin offerings have entered the scene with fresh, new concepts for investment that have never been brought to fruition in the standard, staling fiat financial markets.

A wonderful example of an ICO that falls in line with this idea is Countinghouse. Countinghouse has an edge up on other cryptocurrency projects, as they are already a hedge fund. Not only are they a fund with a proven track record of profitability, they have successfully doubled investor money in forex markets year over year for three straight years.

Welcome to the Jungle

Countinghouse serves as a tech-savvy foreign exchange (or forex) focused hedge fund. They utilize algorithms and other math concepts to squeeze profits from volatile markets. In 2017, the Countinghouse team started testing these same techniques, concepts and algorithms in the cryptocurrency space. The results were astounding, with their strategies netting a profit of 600 percent in under one year.

However, this occurred in one of the largest bull markets to ever exist in any financial marketplace in history. But what about in a bear market (where everything plummets)? They ran their same algorithms in the first quarter of 2018, where the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped from $630 billion to $260 billion. The results? Their algorithms resulted in a 100% gain.

Countinghouse’s strategies profit mostly from market-side volatility. Therefore, their algorithms are perfect for the cryptocurrency space, where even the largest coins can sway 15 percent in either direction in a 24-hour period. Countinghouse’s lack of position and swing trading strategies show profitability in both up and down markets.

But why a token economy versus continuing the forex route?

Utilizing the token economy concept, Countinghouse token purchases will go towards a portion of their fund. This is far different from other tokens on the blockchain, where investments with the hope of returns are only as valuable as the potential inflation of value of the token itself. Therefore, this investment is an actual investment, not a speculation based on assumptions of coin price fluctuation in an upwards direction.

Make a real investment with real returns

If you purchase 1 percent of the coins available at the token sale, you then are owner of 1 percent of the entire fund. If the fun gains 150 percent over the course of a year, your 1 percent of the fund does as well.

Additionally, Countinghouse has a plan in place to utilize some of the anticipated profits to buy tokens back, which will work to decrease supply and drive value in the upwards direction further.

Most of the Countinghouse strategy set is based upon trading using algorithms, and this forms the basis of 60 percent of their portfolio. 30 percent is two-sided arbitrage, and the remaining 10 percent is set in passive reserve. They plan to produce quarterly performance reports, including profits or losses incurred.
