SimpleSwap is launching a unique educational project, AI vs Humans: The Portfolio Showdown, a public battle of crypto portfolios that unfolds in real time. For the first time, three different approaches to managing digital assets will compete head-to-head: the collective wisdom of the community, the expertise of the SimpleSwap team, and the algorithmic logic of artificial intelligence.
How It Works
Each portfolio begins with an equal starting point of 1,000 USDT, evenly split across five assets. Every week, an additional 1,000 USDT will be invested – either into new coins or previously selected ones.
- Community Portfolio – shaped by user votes and suggestions through open polls.
- SimpleSwap Team Portfolio – managed by the SimpleSwap team, showcasing professional strategies and insights.
- AI Portfolio – guided by transparent algorithmic decisions, with explanations provided for each move.
All allocations remain fixed to preserve a transparent history of decisions. Weekly updates will include performance reports, portfolio breakdowns, and explanations of key choices.
Why It Matters
The project is designed not just as a competition, but as an educational journey into portfolio management. By comparing three approaches in real time, participants will gain insights into:
- How professionals structure and adjust their strategies
- Where AI excels – and where it fails
- How the community’s collective intuition stacks up against experts and machines
Engagement & Gamification
A central element of theeducational project is active community participation. Anyone interested will have the opportunity to influence the Community Portfolio by voting for assets and suggesting new coins each week. Influencers and ambassadors are also invited to take part, adding their voice and perspective to the challenge.The project is designed to be transparent: every trade, rationale, and result is visible in real time. This openness allows participants to compare strategies side by side – seeing where the community’s intuition leads, how the team applies its professional expertise, and how AI justifies its choices. Sometimes the algorithm makes mistakes, and that’s part of the lesson: learning to recognize both strong and weak decisions in practice.
To support this, the dedicated project page will provide:
- Interactive performance graphs
- Transaction history with fixed entry points
- Explanations of every AI decision
- Infographics and video content analyzing key outcomes
Over time, the initiative may grow into a gamified experience, with points and rewards for active contributors. More than a competition, it becomes an opportunity to strengthen strategic thinking and learn from real portfolio cases – while testing whether you can outperform the experts and the machine.
The Big Question
At the end of the challenge, only one portfolio will come out on top. But beyond profits, the project asks a bigger question:
Who is smarter in crypto portfolio management – the crowd, the experts, or AI?
