it's ok if you bought your dash with USD, but if you traded it with bitcoins you actually lost way more than 50

At least I bought Bitcoin Cash @ $200 with the money... but still...

Well it was my first week, so I was trading it in USDT to DASH on Polo at the time. Anyway I had plenty of other holdings, but I remember that as my first real lesson in crypto to research good coins and then just hold.

I fucking hate Dash now though and would never touch it again.
