2017-18 What a wild ride!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Here we are, midnight of 2018. Hah!

Looking back at 2017, this has been my best year ever. I also turned 20 this year, btw :P
In this year, I discovered $crypto.
I was shilled into a Ponzi mlm scheme through bitcoin. Thanks to that guy, really! That day onwards I started researching what this bitcoin thing was.
Waiting for the dip, I waited like forever, then finally decided to just go into it. I had just my savings and some gambling money left lol.

I didn't wanted to change my irl priorities to invest in such a wild asset. I bought the local top
on bitcoin back then (1000$).

I discovered altcoins. Poloniex kek. I bought etc and eth and traded them for 2% moves. No result achieved, I got frustrated. I wanted fast rides. Soon I saw whole my btc was on poloniex. I made one trade that night. XBC was up 1300% overnight. I bought that top. I had 70% drawdown on my whole btc stack that night. This is a cycle. Feel lucky when your first attempt goes to a real shitshow. Embrace it. This is the most painful lesson.
Coz, "The real passion comes from the pain of losing money."

So, here it really began. I started to ask around. Spamming the veterans about what to buy and targets.

I stumbled upon, a very kind veteran once (not revealing name :P). He really taught me the game. He taught me what market making was, and how charts told the truth, not people.
I stayed, I learnt.
I started to realise how important patience and calmness are in one's life. The way to analyze a given situation, through multiple perspectives and possibilities. The importance and investing and actively building a portfolio and watching where you are putting in your money.
I read so many books which I wouldn't rather have. The adaptability, accepting whatever adversities in not only markets, but the whole crypto world.
As of today, I achieved a 7000+% gain in my portfolio from my original investment. Not even a year since I am in the game.
All this gains, by parallely working on a revolution. I see a great year ahead for cryptocurrencies. Crypto is here to stay. Digital payments will prevail, not if but soon.

Also,
This has been my best chance at achieving my potential goals. My way to achieve freedom in true sense of word, in every way possible.

Happy New Year to you, folks.
Stay and Learn.
See the real difference.
Play your cards right, and you are free.
Don't quit, keep hustling.

If you need help, I can help you guys learn. Show me your response.
Everything will be free.

However, donations won't hurt! :P
