Monero, It's great for darknet stuff, but in Russian darknet marketplaces everyone uses bitcoin. Tron, great platform for moving USDT, but now Polygon is cheaper. Every EVM blockchain is pretty much a platform for moving USDT, It's their only real use case. I think of them as a payment providers such as PayPal, but more open and decentralized (of course not as decentralized as bitcoin, but better than PayPal).

Litecoin and Ethereum shortly before I came to ₿esus.

To be totally transparent, I also occasionally play coinbase earn on the toilet because I'm kind of curious if they'll ever improve the game mechanics + I want to see what kind of "inventions" are coming out ... (which yields coins that I covert to bitcoin).

Yeah, let's establish a SN confessional. I suppose there is a lot to confess - human, all-too-human stuff that is overgrowing reason...

I once held Cardano. It is now one of my favourite shitcoins to rag on, right up there with Nano.

Lol, I was a major shitcoiner, I had bags of

• LTC
• TRX
• SIA
• XML
• XRP
• STEEM
• ETH

And I was planning on going to the moon, I had some other ICO nonsense tokens too, but these were my main bags apart from BTC. Getting rekt was the best thing to happen to me

Doge, Solana, Ethereum, Cardano, and Stacks 😬

I never saw them as money though, just ways to make money. Still, I wasted a lot of money I could have put in Bitcoin on them and wouldn't touch the stuff today.

Tons back in 2017. I owned something called Dash. Plus the ones you mentioned.

I closed my coinbase account a couple years ago so I can't take a trip down memory and see all the stupid shit I bought.

I was always 90% bitcoin though.

ETH, IOTA, DASH, XMR

That's it, I swear

I still hold some XMR to be fair

I built my own crypto portfolio. 20-25 holdings including NFT’s. Had some of all the top 10 market cap ones and otho

ETH. Still own. As a hedge against Bitcoin ngmi. But i honestly hope that stack will go to ZERO.

I had Neo, Monero (lost it because I didn't sent it correctly), Ripple. After reading The Bitcoin Standard I got rid of what I had left of shitcoins.

Honestly, none. I was sceptical of bitcoin and crypto from the sidelines for years. Didn't take the time to understand it and snarked every time it crashed. But when it came "back from the dead" for about the 5th time, I decided to take the time to learn how it actually worked. Read Inventing Bitcoin and just went in Bitcoin only from there.

Euro. Kept trying to time the market 10-15 years ago after the ICO. Did okayish.

XRP lmaooooooOOOO

The US Dollar... unfortunately I still have some 😞

In seriousness, I held a little bit of the random Brave Browser token for a while. I was really interested in ETH for a time and was going to go all in on it instead of Bitcoin, then decided to take more time to research and come to a decision. Boy did that pay off

Doge, Ethereum, Cro which is Cronos now I believe. PAX or PAXG I can’t remember and maybe some Cardano.

Started off with crypto.com and slowly started studying and trying to understand and finally came around to Bitcoin.

You didn't own bitconnect?

LOL this thread is so funny

I had

TRX ADA CVC (this one I really believed in 😂) Followcoin CanYa coin KCS BNB DOT tixl SNX (huge believer in this until ETH chain screwed me then I dumped it) HOT ETH LTC

I am sure I’m forget some others but yeah I shitcoin’d heavy. Bitboy crypto and altcoin daily on YouTube were my shows! 😂

I use XMR and degen on Ethereum with ETH and MATIC with some crypto games. Also I use XRP to transfer between exchanges without fees.

I'm sorry to admit....

I still have dollars...

Please forgive me 😰

I was flipping shitcoins, at one moment had more than 40. great waste of time. 5 or 6 icos with pocket change. lost all. When Ravencoin started I was excited I was an early miner and the concept made sense to me at first, but only for a few weeks. was milking nicehash since then till eth pos

ETH and Turkish lira… lol

I owned 30 ETH around the time it was launched. Read more about it and sold it all a month later at more-or-less break-even.

Also owned a bunch of doge as a joke when it first launched.. forgot I had it for several years, sold it.

Whichever shitcoin was most profitable at the time to convert into Bitcoin.

ETH

Doge. I got in at 0.04 and got out at 0.70. Not for much. Walked off with about 400 so it helped me kickstart my BTC fund.

Eth...only one. Was the same as BTC for me back in the day lol

iota was my main focus for 3 years until i saw the light

USDT, knowing that shit could implode at any moment. Necessary evil living abroad.

Gridcoin, I liked the idea of the work being done having scientific benefits.

I bought sol at 8 and 20xed

Bcash & ether maybe

I once had XLM. It was my first cryto; (Damn that word makes my cringe).

I bought into the idea that on Stellar it was possible to hold multiple currencies. I realized that was a lie when I tried sending my "Bitcoin" to my own Bitcoin wallet.

Eventually I figured out how to convert my Bitcoin tokens into the real thing, and this became my first Bitcoin UTXO; Which I still have.

BNB, LunaUST, ETH 🤢🤮

Always found decred interesting...

I've used Doge long time ago, but I wouldn't call it shcoin as an illiterate, but would say zerocoin, no coin, noncoin, etc. No offence, but too many people from English speaking countries use words that start with 's' & 'f'... It looks like their brain is full of that material and they are unable to find other words to express something. 🤔 🙈 I like SN community, writings here are good quality, with few exceptions, that's why would be better do not see this brainless expression named here shcoin. Thank you!

Bitcoin had just hit a new ATH and it was all over the news. My thesis was simple... buy low and sell high. But to do this I knew I needed to wait until the bottom of the next bear market (of course).

While I waited, I got distracted by crypto. I remember it was like walking into a casino with flashing lights and loud noises. I bought some random shitcoin and got hooked on the rush of watching my so called 'money' go up and down. It was addictive.

Next I started listening to every YouTuber and influencer out there. Fortunately, I have a pretty good bullshit meter. I quickly realized most of it was scammy and scummy. I could see most of them where just pumping their bags. I still owned some bags of the usual shit (ETH, DOGE, ADA, SOL, etc). If the goal was to make more dollars, I actually did pretty well.

But something didn't sit right. Bitcoin didn't fit the mold, it wasn't like all the others. I went down the rabbit hole. At some point I was listening to a podcast and something clicked. From this moment on, I saw the world differently. I started seeing everything through a Bitcoin lens and everything started to make more sense.

I sold all my shitcoin bags and went all in on Bitcoin at the bottom of the bear market. My original thesis was finally playing out. But there's a difference. I'm not selling. I couldn't give a fuck about having more dollars anymore.

We should all remember our stories, because this is how new Bitcoiner's are created. It takes time to do the work.

I still use monero to pay for VPN services. Not that I go out of my way to do that, but the shitheads at mullvad don't accept lightning and making an on-chain payment kinda defeats the purpose of using a VPN for privacy.

I actually don't mind "using" any shitcoin for this purpose. It's the store of value purpose that I care the most and that's what I use bitcoin of course.
