In all seriousness, my history is a textbook example of how not to invest.
I started in late November 2017, after a relative talked me into investing. He's also a diehard zealot when it comes to crypto. To be fair, he was talking to me for years about getting in, and if I did sooner, I'd probably be a multimillionaire now. (seriously) He also didn't hold my hand, so I made MANY costly mistakes. My investment blew up like 3 days after I bought in. Made about $7,000 in a few days. I was excited. I didn't know that you're not supposed to buy when it goes parabolic, at least not when it has been up for awhile. I bought a lot of stuff at ATH prices. I think I have a Litecoin that I bought for $375. I also bought a bunch of alt coins. Big gamble. I just found out one was a scam the other day. Exchanges pulled it off - can't liquidate them. That's about $1600 down the drain. My portfolio stayed around -90% for the entirety of 2018. Things started improving in the last few months and now my portfolio is around -60%. I haven't panic sold. I'm just waiting it out. Hopefully I'll break even. My Litecoin might be my saving grace since the "Halvining" is taking place in less than 2 months. I probably will cash out when and if I break even. Then I'll either buy a house or invest in something other than Crypto. It's too volatile for me. | ||
