       | It looks like to get the best jump, you need something with a ton
       | of volatility along the way (to build up speed), and then with a
       | sharp drop off toward the end so you fly off the edge instead of
       | ride the slope down.

       | Not surprisingly, BTC has beaten everything else I've tried.
