My loser 2017-2018 crypto trading career lol
bought around 33M sat for $1300 in 2017... traded it for all sorts of dumb shit... NEO, Digibyte, some straight up scam called creditbit I think? some other awful ICO scam crap.
Bitcoin crushed every shitcoin by like 5X'ing from where I bought, my shitcoins bled nearly all value in USD and BTC. Worthless scams. I saw my $1300 of btc would have sold for idk like 7-8K at the top, and the heavy bag of garbage I accumulated was worth like $350.
Dejected, I carried on with my life. logged out until bitcoin tapped like 30K years later. Open up the exchange wallet, and there's my coins, market value $138. Had I just held that initial 33M sat, it would have been worth 100x that.
Bitcoin only from there on. VERY briefly ETH for a quick minute as I was trying to trade it to accumulate more bitcoin but got super wrecked on some low leverage long trades (3x...) I made back in the May 12 - 19 2021 crash. lmao, more than two years ago now and I still remember that week so vividly. ughhhhh. my ass too stubborn to set a stop loss and I lose thousands of dollars. ouch, not the end of the world tho
I stopped trading haha
