Strangely and perhaps unfortunately, I'm a bit new to crypto. I'm not sure why, but somehow I started thinking about it right at the beginning of July —found Coinbase, then Coinbase Pro through Reddit, right as everything was starting to take off and Youtube was saying Alts & BTC were breaking out of their multi-year downtrends. I went to graduate school for photography, finished a couple years ago, and I make pictures for well known publications. I have more debt than I'd like to have —dad said he'd help out with loans for undergrad (I was young and had no idea what I was doing desu). I remember the boys investing in btc/eth/ltc at the v end of 2017, but never thought it was for me, as I didn't have income and was focused elsewhere. I've thought too much about crypto probably—somewhat as a wild way to make money, but also as some strange inevitable future. The first chart I saw was Link's and decided I'd put $10 dollars in at $4.48 like a fucking idiot not realizing that to invest, you need actual money. I FOMO'd in at $8 with $600. Panic sold instantly with the first giant red dildo I saw, like a normie meme, and since have been trying to learn as much as I can. I bought back immediately and haven't sold and don't plan to after finding anon frogs on Twitter (I don't use Twitter but for some reason decided to type in $link). The Log chart (I have no idea how to chart, but it does seem to make some sort of intuitive sense to me) says Link goes down — but maybe that's because the past 2 years have been a bear market? Regardless, I've decided to invest about $1400 more, thinking about Ocean, EWT, and EDG. This shit sounds silly, but I just want to feel more comfortable financially. It'd be nice to own a house, have a garden, and maybe just enjoy being outside with a beer. If a bull market like the previous two is coming, or we're in it but aren't able to actually comprehend that rn, any purchase seems like a good idea. Fuck it, I don't know.
