This is the fourth post about bot “popularity”. It is getting a ever increasing long list. For now we have to stick to this long list of Bots and the Creators.
The approach for this poll has been reconsidered and does not specifically take into account the Risk Classifications (RC).
Unfortunately the RC is regarded of little practical use. One important reason being the fact that the RC is dynamic and can change over time, any time. It is an indication that requires some moths of in production. It is not a Bot Creator property but a RevenYOU dynamic risk indicator. So far there are no Bots available in the 3rd RC, Low (1-4) category.
We recommend to use this Poll-list in conjunction with How Crash-proof are Bots Creators bots poll, to judge your potential selected bots. And yes, it is a long list of BOTS-Names and ever growing. This means that you require additional selection and spreading criteria.
At this point in time, that is after the 19 May 2021 Bitcoin crash, we can draw conclusions, not only about the Bot popularity and how the bots are valued by the investors, but also about the Bot Creator reputation.
Popularity Polls Bots Top-15 of 505 recorded votes by 152 voters on 28 August 2021.
7 x (AB) Agga Team Bots,
2 x (BA) Boosting Alpha, 1 x (TN) The Noogieman™,
2 x (DE) Dembots,
2 x (AT) Altrady,
1 x (TT) Team To The Moon.
Compared to the previous post Popularity Poll: Bots Top-15, Q2-2021, 350 ratings by 100 users the Bot Creator share has slightly changed.
In total the 7 Bots out of the Bots Top 15, Agga Team Bots are in favour of our voters, both older but mostly relatively new Bots.
We have extended the Top-15 Bot Creators with the 15 most popular, out of the 40 year to date, publishers.
These 15 Bot Creators are responsible for 446 of the 505 recorded votes in this poll.
The graph below shows the Bots distribution over the Top 15 Bot Creator ranking.

Interesting to notice that the recently new series HODL the bottle top the “HODL the bottle top 35” and – 40 (Top 3 to 40) by Boosting Alpha, now hold the 3th and 4th position whereas the 1st and 2nd position are now in Agga hands.
2021-08-29-Poll List Q2/Q3-2021-28 August.
Dembots (DE) (aka DemaTrading.ai (DT)) almost share their position with Altrady (AT) at Bots level.
Track This Out (TO) is out of the Top 5 and switched their position with Team To The Moon (TT). As you see still TT comfortable in the Top 15 that is closed by Atama.ai (AA).
In the course of 2018, I started following RevenYOU Bots development as being a interesting start-up initiative.
I had a old MultiBit wallet client for Bitcoin and withdrew most of that in August 2020 through Bitvavo. I had earned those Bitcoins from gaming and mining around 2011 onward. I did the mining on bitminter.com (closed down in 2020). This resulted in a few hundred Euro’s at $9000 per Bitcoin.
How could it be otherwise that “The Big Friendly” BOT was one of my first purchases. Not a real bot. Bought from the “old” Bitcoins. That worked out well. No hassle with crypto-wallets but a friendly bot interface. Of course, I was concerned with “real” bots, acting like a personal-asset manager, but with the convenience of the BOTS-Platform.
As I have a progressive visibility problem, not yet a handicap but still, for this reason I did not previously have a smartphone to install the BOTS-App. It’s all just too small for me. Until I realized that visualization, mostly used for games, could be the solution. Actually in the ’70 and ’80 of the previous century, the VM, Virtual Machine, operating system was my first Main Frame experience. So really nothing new.
There is a different way to run the BOTS-App by using Visualization on a PC or Laptop with Windows or iOS on a large screen. You need however a smart phone with a telephone number to initially install the App. After that you can run the BOTS-App on your PC or Laptop with Windows, iOS on MAC. This is why I started late using Bots. Late, being in August 2020. At that time the Bitcoin valued under $12k.
My strategy was simple, buy a number of the most promising bots and see how the perform. When underperforming, switch to a more promising Bot. In most cases I give it 3 months to 6 months maximum. The exception are my HODL Bots. These Bots are for the long term or for DIY, “do it yourself” trading. The latter is a easy way to trade crypto-coins on the same platform.
If you not go for the max, like me, but for more safety and stability, better hold on for a longer period or do not switch at all.
Most bots have USDT (Tether) as Basecoin and some have BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Etherium) or BNB (Binance Coin) as there Basecoin. Something to be aware of as we learn later.
Unfortunately I soon found out that the Risk Classification (RC) is of little practical use. One important reason being the fact that the RC is dynamic and can change over time, any time. It is an indication that requires some moths of in production. It is not a Bot Creator property but a RevenYOU dynamic risk indicator.
My 3 months of lessons learned triggered me to create the Bots Institute website, the site you are now looking at. One of the most important tips and being the first tip, is number 1. I kept every bot for at least 3 months.
Tip # 1: Bots are not meant to be traded.
This in combination with Footnote 1: The Power of Compounding.
However after one year and one quarter of Bots (Bots Popularity Poll, Q2/Q3-2021 ) and my first year, we all now have more experience. In particular after the serious crypto-marked crash, this approach advice, of not trading with bots, must be relaxed.
The drawback of not trading with bots is that you also increase the risk. By reinvesting your earnings, you can multiply your profits, but you can also lose part or almost everything, your profit and investment quite suddenly.
Many Bots have a problem to timely step out of a coin position (How crash-proof are Bot Creators Bots Poll ). In some cases the yield that a trade makes in combination with a possible loss, accumulated with transaction cost, make it into a loss. This can be so severe that hundreds of percents gain can be transformed into tens percents of loss. Then your buying moment, step-in timing, become crucial!
To prevent this from happening you will have to trade with these specific bots. Not at a daily basis but at least regularly.
In my first year into bots investments I started a total of 34 bots in the first half year. During that first half year I stopped 12 under performing (in my opinion) bots and switched the money to other bots. Currently I run 22 bots and upgraded 2 of them.
In the period August, September, October 2020 there was little coin development, up and down around zero, some gain some losses. Then from mid October the crypto markets grow until quarter-1, 2021. February, March, April beginning May the Bitcoin was around from $45k to $63k. During the 2021 May 19 crash-period I did not change anything in my portfolio (a luxury that I can afford) other than buying some new bots after the 19 May crash.
All of these new bots show deep red (see the picture below) and did not profit after the crash. A number of new Agga bots I started in March/April of 2021, lost part of their yield but all show positive results even after the crash end the horizontal marked development in June and July 2021. A development that also shows in the related Poll (How crash-proof are Bot Creators Bots Poll).
I had the luck to have some Bots trading in BNB and a BNB-Basecoin bot before February 2021. Most of my bots where started before January 2021, with Bitcoin under $30.
BI-Administrator, 1st BOTS-year: point in time ups and downs impression.
At the top of my portfolio, beginning of May 2021, my investment yielded over +400%, including one BNB based bot with upto 2700% gain. The worst case was around 20 July 2021 when my portfolio was down to just +220%. During the first half year the sky was the limit, and not very realistic.
I must admit this is not my pension income. For me this is more a hobby than anything else. As a sport I go for the max and not for the low risk. The first Bots-year, Year To Date (YTD) revenue on 1st of August 2021 is: +240% in €euro, including four (recently started, 2 in test) negative Bots.
Not bad at all to say the least. Just compare my savings income and the taxes due.
For genuine inverters please start with Purchase Checklist number 1. To sleep well the question is: what amount of money can you afford and feel comfortable to lose?
I think I am relatively active as shown by the numbers of transaction above.
Although we see far too many problems in the BOTS-Discord bug-reports, I have not experienced any problem my self and was always able to buy and sell bots when I wanted to.
Please read this as a disclaimer. Also see the new Bot Creator Appreciation Score.
Note that it is not yet a full year, we have some weeks to go. However I wanted to publish this post during this month.
Since the activation of the RevenYOU Trade-Bots-Platform, about just one year ago, imago, reputation and specific qualifications are more important than ever before.
On 19 May 2021 there was a Bitcoin crash and subsequently a crash of the whole crypto-market. This was the first important crash since the lifetime of the Bots platform.
During the weeks after the crash we launched a poll: How crash-proof are Bot Creator Bots Poll? (described in this post).
Within a few weeks, this Poll showed a trend.
Out of the 28 (now 32) Bot Creators the Top-5 of them got all the casted votes.
A good reason to be able to score the Bot Creators with more nuance than a single number. This appreciation score is about overall quality and has been introduced in the “Bot Creators table” on the Bots Institute website under Menu Technology.
Bot Creators table with Appreciation Score (AS)
Appreciation Score (AS)
The following properties or qualities of Bot Creators and their Bots, will be used to create the score.
+++++, 00000, – – – – –
= Positive, unknown or not relevant, Negative.
E.g. +++ 00 or – 0 – 0 + etc.
The weight of the, currently 5, AS-indicators are very different values per item-set.
The values per distinct item is very personal. Something that you must take into account during your selection and balancing process.
Of course this Appreciation Score is not exact science.
However it should give you an extra handle during your selection and spreading of Bots.
The score is dynamic and will be frequently updated to reflect the actual states.
“How crash-proof are Bots?
How will RevenYOU BOTS behave in a Bear-market?”
On the social media this was a frequently asked question. The problem is that it needs time to draw such conclusions. Now curiously, during exactly the first anniversary week of BOTS, we can now begin answer this question.
Why? Because during the first year of existence of the BOTS-Platform all went relatively smoothly, bullish or stable. Actually often with extreme yields.
On the 19 May 2021 there was a crash of Bitcoin and subsequently the whole crypto market.
How did the Bots survive, perform and recover?
We have created a Poll to rank individual Bots Creators for their crash-proof level. At this Creator level, because we already have a Bots Popularity Polls at the Bot level. Depending on how important you judge this aspect of performance-security, it can be a determining factor in this Poll.
Especially investors and traders who entered the market only recently, say this year, were shocked to see the volatility of Bitcoin (BTC) and many altcoins. Value and prices crashed by 50% or even more. This was a good opportunity to see how Bots behave specifically at the Creator level. Was the damage limited or not, and how went performance recovery. This of course is valuable information for investors, new and experienced.
How crash-proof, that is safe or secure are Bots produced by the diverse Bot Creators. This is where the Poll is all about. Some Bots have performed very well some even extremely well. However this is the time to prove if they are crash-proof or not at all. And how important is that to you and your cryptocurrency portfolio.
The first crash-proof Poll on 28 May 2021 has now some meat on the bone, with 53 voters and 104 choices, and can now be used to draw workable conclusions.
Total of 104 recorded votes by 53 voters for this poll on 28 May 2021
Of the 28 Bot Creators the top 5 have almost all the votes. The remaining developers or producers have only one or no votes.
The number 1 is Agga Team Bots (AB), by far the best reputation with regard being crash-proof.
The number 2 and 3 being one of the oldest producers is Boosting Alpha (BA) and the BA trademark The Noogleman (TN).
The number 4 is Atmos (AM) and is one of the new Creators with currently 6 Bots. Three dated before the crash and 3 after the crash date.
Altrady (AT), also an “older” producers, with many non-USDT basecoin Bots.
Depending on your portfolio involvement, passive and even defensive, average or active and even aggressive, the Creator choice is important. Apart of the Risk Classification (RC) per Bot, this poll may be useful for you and other investors, in combination with the Bots Popularity Polls.
Classification and typification of BOTS is an interesting subject. In the blog post: Newcomer, Beginner approach to (RevenYOU) BOTS, it is described how to go about to purchase your first few Bots.
From experience we know that this is often the way the knowledge develops, based on growing interest end investments. You want to know more about Bots and Cryptocurrency-Markets, behavior and the impact to your yield and risc.
While building a growing Bots-portfolio more and more question popup and need to be answered.
This was the reason to create a new page: Classes, Types of BOTS on the Bots Institute website. Although the text starts with: “Quick overview… ” these are many complexities involved in selecting the best bot for your purpose. The “Classes and types” table is structured with a matrix, in such way that it tries to trigger your interest and directs you into the required information sources available on the BI-website.
In addition being structured it includes many links and some footnotes. In this way it is simply a matter of clicking the link of your keyword to get to the relevant information, and back into the table.
Part of Classes and types of bots table-matrix
Classes and categories
At the highest level the Bots have been classified in two classes:
Trading Bots and Hodl Bots.
These two classes have there own very specific and distinguishing characteristics.
These two classes can be divided into categories as follows:
• Class: Trading: Category: 1, 2, 3.
• Class: Hodl: Category: A, B.
In the first table-matrix the most important five characteristics are listed the left side. Then, at the right site of the matrix, it shows the respective values for particular categories of bots. Notice the differences between the two classes but even more between the two Hodl categories.
The Dumbbots need special care. While, the so called, “genuine bots”, act as your personal portfolio manager, the Dumbbots do not. These bots just buy a cryptocoin at the start and hold the coin as long as you do not sale (=stop) the bot. Meaning it just follows the marked, up or down, high or low. That means that trading, or not, is your own responsibility.
For instance, with regard to the Basecoin the matrix value=”All” means all cryptocoins. In practice this is currently limited to BNB (Binance Coin), BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Etherium), USDT (Tether) and a single UWC (Uwezocoin) bot.
Properties and Attributes matrix
The bottom part of the table contains the Properties and Attributes matrix.
In this second matrix the most noticeable properties and attributes are listed. This shows a diversity of values with very different implications and impact. All keywords and their value may, or may not or more or less, influence your decision to buy, keep or sell a bot in your portfolio.
As an example the Bot Creator (®, ™, Label), may deem highly important to some person while others couldn’t care less.
In particular the combination of Bots Popularity Polls and the Creator name is a key property for some (potential) investors.
