 <p class="paragraph">Back in August 2023, amid the hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) assistants and crypto trading, Finbold utilized Google Bard (forerunner of Google Gemini) to create a $100 crypto portfolio for beginner investors.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">With the cryptocurrency market constantly evolving, let’s revisit this hypothetical portfolio and see how those investments would have performed by today.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Bitcoin (BTC), the leading <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency, has seen a significant surge in value since August 2023.&nbsp;</p>

 <p class="paragraph">At press time, it’s trading at a staggering $72,011, reflecting a remarkable 147.23% increase compared to its price of $29,127 back in August.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">This impressive growth translates to nearly a $43,000 increase in value from eight months ago.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The recent upswing adds to a positive trend, with Bitcoin gaining over 3.9% across the past week and 5.2% over the last month, solidifying its position as a dominant force in the cryptocurrency market.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-eth">Ethereum (ETH)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has shown a more moderate growth trajectory compared to Bitcoin since August 2023.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Currently priced at $3,618, it represents a significant increase of 97.23% from its August price of $1,835.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">While this is impressive growth, it falls short of Bitcoin’s staggering gains. However, Ethereum’s recent performance suggests some positive momentum. It’s up over 6.8% in the last day and nearly 2% across the past week.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, a slight dip of 7.67% over the last month shows some short-term variability.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-cardano-ada">Cardano (ADA)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Cardano, the blockchain platform aiming to be a more energy-efficient alternative, has exhibited a contrasting performance since August 2023.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">While still up compared to its August price of $0.295, Cardano’s current price of $0.6089 reflects a more modest increase of 106.41%. This trails behind the impressive gains of Bitcoin and Ethereum.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, it’s important to consider the recent downward trend. Cardano has dipped over 3% in the last day, nearly 4% across the week, and a more significant 16.37% over the past month.&nbsp;</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-solana-sol">Solana (SOL)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Solana‘s recent price movements show a 1.69% increase in the last 24 hours, a 6.73% drop in the previous seven days, and a 24.46% gain over the past month, currently trading at $183.20.&nbsp;</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-polygon-matic">Polygon (MATIC)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Polygon (MATIC), the network known for facilitating faster and cheaper Ethereum transactions, has shown a moderate increase since August 2023.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Its current price of $0.935 represents a growth of 38.72% compared to its August price of $0.674. While this increase is positive, it falls short of the explosive gains seen in other cryptocurrencies. It’s also important to consider Polygon’s recent volatility.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Despite the daily increase of 3.36%, it experienced a weekly decline of 3.24% and a more substantial monthly loss of 19.27%.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-sandbox-sand">The Sandbox (SAND)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Finally, The Sandbox‘s native token, SAND, has seen a moderate increase since August 2023.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Currently priced at $0.6398, it reflects a growth of 56.43% compared to its August price of $0.409.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">This trails behind the significant gains of other <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies mentioned previously. However, SAND isn’t without its recent struggles.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">It has experienced a slight decline in the past week, dropping 3.63%, and a more substantial decrease of 12.51% over the past month.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Our revisit to Bard’s $100 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="portfolio" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/portfolio.html">portfolio</a>, divided equally among six assets in August 2023, paints a fascinating picture of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency market’s potential and pitfalls.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">With a hypothetical increase of 59.68% by April 8, 2024, this portfolio demonstrates the power of diversification.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">While high performers like Solana fueled significant growth, the more modest gains of Cardano showcase the importance of spreading your investment across various cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, this example also serves as a stark reminder of the market’s volatility. Despite the positive returns here, future results can be unpredictable.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Remember, thorough research and a cautious approach are essential before investing in any <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency.</p>
