starting capital too low
got greedy in a bsc shitcoin that 100x'd and ended up with like a 20x.

>>50693325
didnt sell despite reading

>>50693325
didn't buy enough chainlink (LINK)

>>50693325
Drugs and lazyness bad combo and depression and anxiety another bad combo.

i lost 5 eth on statera

>greed

>greed

honestly greed is the biggest problem. I wasnt happy with 200k I wanted a million

>>50693348
Bought too much chainlink :(

>>50693325
Bought too much LINK

I did “bars” and when I wasn’t cognizant I became and addict. I can’t blame it on my not being conscious but it’s still a shame

>>50693377

>>50693325
Never took profits, too high leverage, procrastination towards investing in gems i trusted (eth 2015-2016, link 2017-19, ftm 2020, Terra 2021 etc.) etc.

>>50693325
Didn’t understand market psychology
Fell for the rentoid meme, fell for the academia meme, don’t buy a house and get a comfy wfh tech job sooner
Basically I didn’t know what to buy or when to buy, and even if I had I would never have the capital to really take on much risk
I thought I was smart enough to avoid playing the game altogether, so I got played instead

>>50693325
Didn’t sell doge at 80 cents

>>50693325
They used it all in buying shitcoins, thank goodness some cool projects like ALBT exist and are putting out launches that'll grow the space.

>>50693325
Got too greedy, Fomo during bullrun and opted out of harmony before it went to 40 cents 3 weeks later (I owned 1,3 million). then didn't have enough capital to get into BNB (easy x10).
Would've been near the 10 million net worth if I didn't fuck that up, now it's back to the wage cage and I fucking hate my life.

>>50693325
Never believed in the value of crypto, still think it's overvalued.

>>50693732
you might just be the biggest retard in this thread thanks for making me feel better

>>50693377
i was up $40k and woke up to being up $15k. i was devastated man
i made some good (see: lucky) trades after that though. it hurts so fucking much though

>>50693751
15k is still good enough to make it, try seeing 150k go to 2k due to dumb moves and greed

>>50693743
I would rather just buy the leveraged nasdaq than bitcoin at this point. Crypto has only gone up due to institutions speculating, and federal reserves printing money. At the same time, companies have been inventing new technology, producing goods and services, and issuing dividends.

>>50693325
I got arrested in late 2009 and my computer (along with other stuff) was seized, the bitcoin in those wallets is gone forever
can't say I would've held till $10k+ tho

>>50693325
They made the mistake of not taking advantage of the space, fact is we're opportune to have several tools, especially that Spool now makes earning with stables more approachable, by creating a safe and efficient platform, which allows users yield from staking them.

Was born to mentally ill impoverish parents.

Self-determinationcels can cope. It's insane how much influence genetics and socioeconomic upbringing has on every aspect of your future.

That's why I laugh when leftfags think they can end poverty or drug abuse. Unless genetic engineering reaches a level where we can create literal Übermensch, it ain't going to happen. I'm not suggesting it's hopeless and self improvement is a waste of time, but there are certain walls that cannot be broken.

>>50693325
Not an oldfag in the strict meaning of the word, but for /biz/ terms and as far as 99.9% of posters in current year are concerned I am.

>did folding @home with my computer instead of mining bitcoin after learning about it on slashdot in 2010

I can go on but thats enough.
Never give up, never suicide.
For every missed shot there will be another, maybe easier to hit maybe it will hit you while you least expect it.

>>50693325
I sold 10k chainlink at .40 mere months before that fucking Google announcement that took it to over $1

I'd rather not talk about it

>>50693325
I would love to help you, but I am 45 and have kind of made it.

>>50693325
I was already old before crypto became a thing. If I were to come back, I'd focus on staking and passive income

>>50694394
Passive income is indeed gold. Is always better to stake than hodl in your wallet

>>50693325
I didn't spend on vinu, i had 300 k on vinu a week before the pump
i was scared shitless and dumped before a 10x, i could've been a millionaire, never making that same mistake again

>>50693806
You big fool, anon. You would have had a different outcome if you had stake that on Binance, Freeway, or even Nexo.

>>50693325
solded all my link too soon

>>50694135
Nah its hard earned experience duuuuuude

All of us didn't listen at some point. The hardest for all of us is when we didn't go for our gut feel and did the things that would hurt a bit.

But we overcome.

I undersold the obvious top despite knowing it was the top

then bought in too quickly

still 500k tho

>>50693325
Mined on gpu for fun when eth was 7$
Got like 20eth.
Invested I'm ICO

ICO went to 100k I wanted 140k to buy a home.
First dip to 80k did not sell
I trust the team
Went to 50k
Okay it HAS to go to 100k team is working
Went to 2000 finally sold

>>50693325
I only make 3k/mo passive. I guess I didn't work enough. I have to push myself to work more than a week per year.

>>50694481
Plebes never learn. And they'll keep losing money as long as they keep doing the same fucking thing

>>50694453
Yeah. Although Binance's APY is so low, sometimes it feels the same. Might be pushing everything to freeway and nexo soon

Thing is, everyone here has had multiple attempts. I've had mine and could have made it big time. Now i'm just comfy instead, which I am very grateful for. However you only lose when you stop trying. Keep trying, you are wiser now, then it clicks and you succeed. I'd worry more about the realization of how empty your life is when you no longer worry about money.

>>50693325
I fell for the "locked staking" meme. Ever since I saw my life changing "unrealized gains" I never have a day that doesn't have a suicidal thoughts. I definitely messed up

sold thousands of bnbs for under $2 among many other things

>>50694854
Left to me, I'd just constantly keep doing my DCA and staking on ETH and other great defi tokens for their future pumps

>>50694867
The latter looks good. I like the fact that 80% of all profits made in the platform is sent back to the users in the liquidity pool.

Played it too safe, sold too early, I’ll make money overall but still we spent the whole summer of 2020 getting excited for chain link when we it would have been better to buy garbage like doge when it was still a fraction of a cent. At least I sold my chain link at the August 2020 and went into traditional investments that surpassed the meagre x2 link went on to do before crashing. And despite all this I’m still somehow bullish on link and will likely buy back in.

>>50693337
>bsc shitcoin
>oldfag

>>50695011
I made lots of money before BSC was a thing, but that was where I had the most success and I got greedy.

>>50693325
that's an easy one
bought 46000 link at 50 cents
panic sold when it dumped to 30

Though I've done a lot of other dumb stuff too. I think I owned 45 eth and dumped it at 300 or something. If you dwell on it, you'll just end up killing yourself. Maybe that's the whole point of crypto, to drive people to suicide.

>>50694944
Yeah seems like a good idea. Would begin to invest in others when I see a clear turnaround in the market's fortunes

>>50694905
Locks will fuck you up anon. Do flexible and you won't miss out on good selling prices. Binance is a culprit while freeway lets you stake and withdraw as you want.

>>50693325
i thought 100k btc was a conservative price estimate.
i thought we were gonna get a lengthening cycle because i listened to picrel

2013. Saw a doc on Bitcoin. Thought it was too shady due to having to meet in person to trade. I also have social anxiety.

Essentially my social anxiety has cost me potentially millions of dollars. I can’t even think about it for too long. Everything that happened in crypto after the bitcoin explosion looked pale in comparison to that.

I was trying to learn the ropes again when the bull turned bear at the end of last year. Ah well. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

Bought 13btc for 900euro and bought shit on darkweb for 3k

Was going to invest in monero for 10eur a piece for 50k euro with my plug, he ripped me off shortly later,decided to continue living illegal life, got caught, got 156k fine and prison sentence. Drugs ruined my life

>>50693672
What launches you fag? They keep confusing with tech words in this bear market. Learn.

>>50695022
Greed pay off sometimes anon. Project matters. I don't mind being greedy with fwt staking rewards. This market calls for sustenance.

>>50693325
I thought trusting bugisoft's son would make me rich, now I only have nft of fucking soccer, what do I do with my champ shit?

>>50693786
>Crypto has only gone up due to institutions speculating, and federal reserves printing money.
>I would rather just buy the leveraged nasdaq than bitcoin at this point.
Yep, biggest retard on this thread. You are pointing out exactly why nasdaq pumped too, yet saying this has only helped crypto pump.
>At the same time, companies have been inventing new technology, producing goods and services, and issuing dividends.
Yet we are living in the era of great stagnation and you refuse to acknowledge (or to mention) how crypto is essentially one of the new inventions of our century, on the level of the telephone or the toaster. Very few of the ideas of these newer companies has been something entirely new like crypto, or worse, is profitable. Uber isn't profitable, neither Tesla and many others. The only real reason to hold stocks is due to dividends, and once you realize binance savings probably offers more returns than any dividends, then there's no reason to be on the legacy market right now, especially after it's oped so much and every share is expensive as shit whereas some shitcoins are dirty cheap. Heck even BTC is cheap.

>>50695132
Play soccer with it jeet. You just might learn a lesson that way and embrace passive income and fundamentals next time.

6fig seed investor in one of the blue chip eth defi project last cycle. sold at 90% down. would’ve been a sellable 8 fig payday.
18-19 was a tough time. didn’t get the guts to gamble until btc crossed 20k again. got back to previous ATH but always wondered what the future would be like if hodled some of the shitcoin bags. But tbf all things that are defi now in 17-18 were pure jeet scams. Except basecoin, which was actually the one that went down.
Still much comfier than my previous life but the regrets keep me in this shitshow.

Was a poor student and was mostly too late for projects, also stopped looking into crypto in the first winter and missed cheapies

>>50694854
Don't care. They can get rekt for all I care. They learn that way. Not sure way to make it.

>>50694944
Still the best way to go. Eth and stables in this dip. Stake for supercharger rewards and go to bed with your eyes closed.

>>50693869
anon, you do realises you are advocating for society to euthanise you, do you?

>>50695322

Alles Leben ist kampf.

>>50693325
no money to invest, also sold a 100x before the rally twice, had to eat

I was an early holder of bitcoin but I spent it all on drugs at university. Now I can't even look at the bitcoin price for fear I will hang myself while my dealers are probably millionaires.

>>50693377
what time frame charts were you looking at?

>>50693672
poo in loo

>>50693786
You're right but misallocation of capital into scams is the key to making money in the Fed-driven market.

>>50695148
Top kek if you actually believe this about crypto. It's just speculation on liquidity from the Fed, the only use of it is thirdies getting their money into something actually valuable (the NASDAQ, which btc is a derivative of) and gambling.

My portfolio has been 100% crypto since the 2017 cycle btw except when I cashed out for bear markets. I have no illusions about the value of this "technology".

Every single oldfag I've met who didn't make it can more or less trace their failure back to a woman or drugs even if they refuse to openly admit it.

Back in 2011 I registered an account at bitcoin forum, to complain that a virus had infected me and was mining/sending bitcoing to a specific address on the command line.

If I had re-run the virus myself to my own address I'd be literally a billion now.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH (slowly fading into crying).

>>50693325
I believed my boomer parents and that hard work and "proving" myself to the boss would get me somewhere.

Didn't selled

not that i didn't make it its that i could've made it sooner
i was 15 when i first started shilling btc mining to my highschool friends back in 2013
everyone laughed me off and the fact that i didn't really have any money didn't help either, something which persisted for a long time
this single blunder made me conclude that if i wasn't at least smarter than any of them, i was much better informed than all of them which is still true to this day, one of them just lost $5k he had on celsius
all in all a classic crypto mistake

>>50693444
Good track record. What do you like now?

>>50695054
It's already over now at least for me, anon.

>>50693325
I got distracted by waging.

I had 400 Ethereum in 2016. I made a bunch of trades and eventually sold all of it. All I had to do was be patient and hold instead of being greedy and trying to get rich on shitcoins.

Btw crypto is over now and there will never be an investment opportunity like that again. Ever. The days of turning $5k into $5mil are over.

>>50695968
>Btw crypto is over now and there will never be an investment opportunity like that again. Ever. The days of turning $5k into $5mil are over.

So basically you'd make the same mistake again

>>50693325
As the dumb bitches they aren't, they went and bagged shit coins instead of coins with real life utilities like, Ride, Unido and Qanx

>>50695986
Anon, I promise you there is not a single cryptocurrency right now that will see returns like you would have with early Bitcoin/ETH. The market cap for crypto is just too high, it’s not some underground thing anymore.

>>50693339

In time it may become apparent that the fud was actually meant to prevent us midwits from selling and nothing else. Reverse psychology works.

>>50693806
You never got that computer back?

>>50694296
I sold chainlink at 40 cents too but my mistake was investing in the wrong sector instead of privacy protocols.

>>50693325
I followed the alt/usdt chart instead of the alt/btc chart.

The only things you need to follow is alt/btc, sometimes alt/eth, and pi cycle tops and bottoms for btc. Your goal should always be to accumulate more and more btc, hold btc during the dips on the way up, and sell near the pi cycle top.

There you go newfriends, crypto investment 101 for you all.

Sold a little over 2 BTC for $1300 in 2017. I also stopped mining then, had thousands of doggie coins, dont remember how much eth.

>>50693325
I’m 38 and in the top 5% for my age group. No crypto, just job, business, and stock gains.

traded my doge for link summer '19 after holding from winter '17

>>50693325
realized that actually making is not really that fun. process of making it gives meaning and drive, but when u actually achieve it, it feels kinda empty. so, u unmake it and starts another process cycle again.

>>50695040
You actually make more buying in the dip, buy low sell high that's how you make money.

>>50693325

>>50693934
Hmmmm such a bad ass dude trading has gone smooth like a wet pussy,the fact that houses could be owned through payment settlement in crypto, we are in the era of web3, blockchain, DeFi and digital assets that has made investments into the crypto space an attractive one.

>>50697069
You didn't have the right platform to run that shit ur such a faggot lol

>Could have bought BTC at 60$ but I didn't
>could have bought into ETH presale but I didn't

Literally bought the biggest bag of MATIC possible. Not missing out on this shit

>>50696966
Yea anon it the right time to get you bag ass filled with some juicy project Solid deflationary tokenomics that has 90% supply already in circulation. With Reverse staking & Token burns constant new merchants. This shit is fucking cool anon

>>50696016
Says the fag that knows nothing about the market and has neither invested in lowcaps.

>>50697579
Dont fall for the trap it will go lower.

>>50697526
low caps these days just reek of curry and prolly also taste like it.
If you are dead set on losing money, sure go ahead and waste your money on the eternal chase for the lucky ticket kek

Found Bitcoin in 2012 but was too distracted being young and in college and depressed.

Knew about Ethereum in 2015 but was too distracted being young and in grad school and depressed.

Decided to channel depression into studying this space as much as possible in 2017. Decided to go all in OMG because I was investing in the advisor team basically Vitalik and friends. Didn't get LINK.

Decided to go all in GRT when it came out, seeing the new LINK opportunity. Made 1.5M but never cashed out, rode it down all the way. I'm basically at initial.

>>50695635
This is too real. The only good thing about it is when I warn other men and they don’t listen to only get utterly rekt. >>50695680
This is all to common. They don’t see where this is all leading too. Blinded by greed, but most are aye.
>>50696016
Anon just stop.

Here are some tips, get a job and move up as quick as you can and try not to step on anyone’s toes. Don’t get involved with women if you’re a beta, you will get fucked. People lie constantly so don’t trust anyone.

>>50695986
You sound like a faggot dude when the web3 payment platform allows online merchants to accept all the major cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Compared to the traditional payment methods credit card, go get some sense fegs

>>50697301
You've got to have a rethink... MATIC isn't the crypto of the moment

>>50698020
Very stupid of you anon, now I know why Indians become so poor.
Why not become a developer at least you won't have much to loss.

>>50695148
There are plenty of companies that innovate and develop useful technology slowly, new lines of gene therapy drugs have come out, Cystic Fibrosis has basically been cured, robotic automation is being developed for many industries. Even Tesla (despite an impractical multiple on its profits) is developing better Electric cars and more importantly, batteries.
The last time I used Bitcoin was to buy weed seeds, and the only other use I can think of would be to flee the country if it starts to fall apart. Things like an inflation hedge would be better spent investing in companies or just owning futures on commodities.
Smart contracts are neat, but fail to account for the nuance and court systems necessary for almost all contracts in real life. As such they have severely limited use cases (unless something like kleros works).

>>50698386
To be honest, developers are cheaters. They keep fucking all pussies. I feel they are really overrated

>>50693325
too risk adverse, only put in 5k, which desu was rational so can't be too mad about the outcome
ATH'd it to 650k, currently something like 200k - all in ETH - It'll be over a million eventually just holding my ETH bags so I'll make it, but could take some years

>>50693325
Didn’t have enough starting capital and what I did have I invested in fucking Iexec RLC
Luckily I got the Uni airdrop and some others so I have a little more capital (even though I lost 50% in ducking Bancor) and I am DCAing into link and eth every day. Idk if I’ll ever make it but I have 1 eth and 300 link right now. I will continue to accumulate and hope one day I can make. Praise Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Lord Heavenly Father May your perfect will be done whatever it shall be. Amen.

>>50698020
I feel developers are going to be the biggest earners in the crypto world soon. Pulling over some bitches with the mindset that QVM features will bring any language coding for smart contracts that can potentially bring millions of skilled devs over to blockchain will be biggest bang of the year.

didnt invest in matic early enough, but still made lots of profit from the 150% pump that happened last month.
coin is undervalued so there still time

>>50693732
Don't be a fool. It's actually underrated. Wait and see the turns of things by the time the adoption is bumped up big time by Ore network and its system of reducing the barrier to entry

>>50693365
You keep dumping this on every board. Are you shitting on stratera

>>50694394
There is a big chance you'll almost retarded already. No doubt, you will definitely need identity management system to keep track of all your assets.

>>50702400
I'm an old fag who bought Matic right when it got listed on Binance.
I swapped it all for Chainlink.
I don't feel bad, I ended up making double in Chainlink ATH what I would have made in Matic.

>>50698366
Then what is? besides ETH and BTC, MATIC is still the most talked about alts and for good reason too. The disney partnership to mention the most recent ones not forgetting polygon and Ore protocol partnership to provide cross chain wallets and NFT management.

>>50694854
I kept making money the last two cycles so I'll keep doing the same thing next cycle... RIGHT?!

>>50698659
I lost 0.4 Eth from Bancor kikes so I only want to get my 1 eth back that I said I would always keep and hold no matter what to 100k or 0. Once I get that back I’ll continue accumulating Link to at least 1000. Then I might accumulate a sui stack of something else like BAT

>>50693325
Fuck trading. The best thing is to be a dev or just work in crypto. I'm correcting my steps now and hoping to use my knowledge of Golang to build dapps on the QVM. I hear the QVM allows devs to build in any language and pays royalties too.
Wish me luck in my new career choice.

You can only blame your parents for short dick genes, friends. Whatever it happened, they kept you alive.

>>50693325
Didn't buy since I thought it was a scam.

Couldn't time the market with 100% accuracy, i guess. Simple as that

You cant time the market, no one can.

Same. I’ll make sure to sell on the way up next time.

>>50705166
you're my new father figure

I sold my 28 btc i paid $100 for $10k because mt.gox stole 0.75 btc from me.

Wanted to stake my ETH and Link but felt Celsius was sketchy and couldn’t get in Bancor pool so ended up on voyager. I was expecting the possibility of lower rates and even slashing the principal but not freezing everything. We’ll see how much I get back since I didnt pay attention to long term holds.

>>50696014

You're selfish for not wanting the same. If you care about future generations and the future of the human species as a whole, you'd want a society that practiced such extreme eugenics that even the most alpha guy making it today would be seen as untermensch.

>>50693377
same except i got to 600k down to 150k. Gotta set sub goals next time desu

I followed the engineering meme

Didn't buy enough. I had about 20k laying around in my bank account and I bought only 1k worth of ADA when it was 0.03-0.04 and just forgot about crypto in general. I really don't know why I didn't buy more. There's literally no reason.

This
Engineering and a college degree is fickle af. For all of you Gen Z guys I have to be honest. Life without a degree will suck, but with a degree you've got better odds of it not sucking but with College debt
People I know that graduated with STEM degrees that ended up in small family run firms. making crap wages and doing the major workload and under a lot of stress. The few that got lucky got 60k (Northeast so just barely making it, if you live with your parents)
I got really lucky by getting a corporate job, with a tech title that pays a little more than what my peers were making back on long island and NYC, but I had to move upstate and pay rent to live in the equivalent of the south.

>tl;dr
>No degree
>Side hustle and wage slavery barely making it

>Student loan debt you will have a bitch of a time paying off

>>50701564
I think those days are over forever in crypto. The game of musical chairs is over and there's too many people with heavy bags for new money to flush into the game.

Crypto since 2017 reminds me of all the major technology startup scams that have emerged recently. Theranos and Nikola Motors come to mind

Boba network i mean

>>50693325
Greed and thinking utility mattered in crypto. I held OMG to $28 and didn't sell because I believed in the $70 meme.

I sold too much BTC under 1k

>>50693325
I slept on RAIL and didn't buy it before the ATH.

>>50693325
I didn't buy more private nfts before and could have invested in scrt more when I had a chance, regulation is kicking in privacy is mainstream. monero is good but banned in our country

>>50693325
tried to swing trade my link up, didn't take the L and doubled down. bought link from 18 cents.

wrong? not sure, i certainly could have done better (school of 2017) but i 250x my money. the problem is i started with only about 2k because i was a student. this was basically all in for me. only in late 2019 i earned real money and could have poured in the same amount per month… unlucky but at least i made gains at all. just bugs me seeing people that bought link later then me and made it because they had more capital to invest at the time. i’m kind of young still so i have time but i totally could have made it already and blew some other chances

>>50712675
privacy is going mainstream,

They coming up with another major upgrade, I think their system is pretty much under rated now.

>>50693325
I made it, anon. I monetized my social influence with raiinmaker and get back the value of my social capital.

Bag held link instead of going into other things and selling

>>50693325
I mocked bitcoin.

>>50693365

5 eth doesn't mean you made it poorfag

>>50693348
You could have made it, oldfag. Those oldfags who use Raiinmaker to create and share content on social channels have already made it.

>>50712823
Is like they are democratizing the creators community, allowing degens to take back the value of their social capital.

>>50712873
I heard they're using their own proprietary Proof of Influence algorithm, in which Web2 Social Engagement Data is hashed into Web3 Public Blockchains and value is dispersed back to the user in the form of Crypto and NFT Rewards.

>>50706456
i wish I had 10BTC

>>50712823
At least post the full version.
Also we DID hit this target, though, much later.

>>50693732
Kek, you're delusional anon. Crypto is just getting started and we've not seen the best of it yet. This just makes me think of ORE Network which is simplifying the complexities of blockchain for people like you.

>>50693325
celebrating profits rather than taking them

I spent all my bitcoin on hard drugs and ruined my life for years

>>50693325
I sold 14 BTC at 200 USD.

I made it out just above break even and fumbled a $180K bag of gains.

It was honestly surreal how greedy I got and how retarded I could be chasing my losses as the market started going to shit.

>>50693325

>Fomo back in just a week later, make a little profit but immediately regret
>market crashes
>back in low 6 figures
Life is cruel when you're dumb. I can't explain it otherwise, it must be my iq. I'm glad i never fell out of six figures again (so far) but I could have basically made it 2 times now already and fucked up both times. The thought of selling everything at my top (around 500k) and then buying back in at the low point, securing a sure MAKE IT NEXT RUN stack makes me so miserably depressed, I feel alone with all of this. It fucking sucks. Good luck to you lads, maybe someone can learn from my shit. Oh also mined dogecoin in comp sc. school but lost my key, kek. That was around 120k at the doge peak that I lost access to.

>>50693325
Sold my crypto to pay off debts and buy a house

Check this, Obviously it does it. Not coming up with NFTs though, but rather supporting private NFT auctions.

i'm not complaining
there's always more opportunities waiting out there

>>50714638
i don't think it's IQ, you're just emotional and probably a bit overly rational
it's not easy to invest in irrational markets, for years i was convinced bitcoin would get banned eventually but stuck to some of my stack nonetheless

>>50693325
Failing to shield my transactions on-chain while trading. It's a long story how I got fucked up because of it

i fell for the decentralization meme
if i gambled on centralized exchanges i could have 100xed my stack easily with garbage like sol, avax, dot, and so on
people rave about muh uniswap airdrop muh ens airdrop, but those were only big if you sybiled dozens of accounts or if you're a poorfag

>>50693325

Privacy solutions are definitely going mainstream anon. The increased rate of hacks and scams would make users take asset security more seriously. Mass adoption is closer than ever.

>>50704855
I think timing the market is a myth. No one is 100% accurate. I just feel bad I didn't find out about ORE earlier. Cross-chain platforms are taking over. Hope I don't miss the next bull run.

>>50714929
When did you start trading? Perhaps, at that time, there were limited options to stay anonymous on-chain. This year, a good number of tools are up for shielding of wallets- with Railgun being one of the main ones that work across multiple chains.

>>50716056
How many children cumulatively?

didnt take profits in nov/dec. genuinely thought "it's different this time" and believed the supercycle meme

good to know that 3ac also genuinely believed the meme and got rekt alongside me, rather than used me as exit liquidity and is sitting comfy

we all got rekt together and thats fine

>>50708788
What sort of sub goals? Does anyone have a standard formula for managing gains? Like roll some of it into a separate but twin investment set to take over once its value eclipses the initial investment? So after a certain point, it's all gravy you can slop around with?

>>50705166
Surprised there aren't more of you here.

I grew up in a broken home with a bipolar father who left my single mother who raised me. I was a failure at school, had autism and ADHD. I learned everything off the Internet and I'm doing well for myself.

90% of these posts are simply saying they didn’t do something at a certain time.
This is just hindsight and there’s very few actual lessons learnt here.

Should've bought and held BTC and never sold it

>>50693325
Went on biz and traded too much. Should've just relaxed and stopped being glued to charts. Should've finished my physics degree instead. Maybe then she wouldn't have left me

>>50718944
True. People holding BTC from early on was just lucky it eventually blew up. There was no strategy or long game. Right time, right place.

I learned something today. Although i came to be able to roughly determine the tops and bottoms by looking at the previous cycles.

>>50693325
Too scared to put money into meme coins, dog coins, NFTs, and the shitcoin rugpull casino.

Watched everyone make x100 or up from these scams, even x1000 or higher, while I barely pull a x10 from basic top 10 coins, which was all undone by the recent bear run anyway.

I've been around since 2012/13
I missed hodling BTC
I missed ETH
I missed XMR
I missed XRP
I missed many things

I did not miss FLR

I have no regrets

I didn't sell. Simple as. I also spent BTC on services instead of accumulating.

>>50693325
I married my bags... never do it.

I left 5btc on a Russian exchange before I knew what a private wallet was. But I had 2btc on Coinbase so I wasn't rugged completely

>>50693325
I thought I missed out on good coins after they pumped a bit (RPL) and instead bought crap because it was low. The good stuff kept pumping a ton because it's good, while the crap never pumped even a little. So even though I made it to 7 figures off ETH, I didn't make 8 figures or anything crazy like I could've if I made better picks with alts.

>>50695514

I bought too much SXP and XHV and it turns out to be a bad investment. I hope to correct that wrong with SCRT after seeing how good the privacy protocol is.

>>50696966
I'm stockpiling LOX at its dip. I hope to make it on this once the decentralized IMEI goes live.

i put over 400eth into icos during 2018 alt season mania and sold 60% away from the bottom during the bear market and put it into FTM and then sold early then ride the wave with some other alts

never hedging my portfolio again in icos

not believing in myself or what was going to happen even though we've been through this scenario in crypto 3 times now.
each time everyone says 'it's different this time!', then it's different with the same outcome.
now its easy mode:
- buy BTC and ETH, as much as you can over the next 18 months
- wait till the next post halving bullrun (mid 2024? early 2025? dont know)
- sell at a profit if you want

bonus round
- buy a bag of reasonable wildcards like DOGE, BNB and SHIB. find a leveraged trading platform you like and put a 3x long on it sometime around the next BTC halving (judge the market conditions)
- sell when you've either hit your profit target, or you start seeing dumb articles in your news feeds like "can Doge really hit $1?? ddeerp" thats when you know you're getting near the end of the bull run

>>50723557
i also put like 35 eth into LIT at the peak because of biz never again

>>50699841
Ok Rabbi

>>50693325
Been in since 2014.

I started with a low amount (300 ish) and magically missed everything that went to the moon. I made maybe 100k at best. I've held many things that went 100000x, but I always capitulated before they randomly popped off.

You're correct, crypto is a one trick pony that's been massively overhyped by tards and people who make money off tards. However, the true value has nothing to do with current market value.

>>50697602
Well, I just got in a few years ago but I've come to see notable innovation in the space. One that caught my attention is the ORE Network which has prepared blockchains for mass adoption.

>greed

Got distracted with my retarded GF partying/going to raves while I was a drug dealer living the King neetlife. Got strung out on ketamine and coke for awhile and finally learned my lesson to just quit drugs and dealing completely.

>>50695305
This almost happened to me but now I have a clearer view of the market and I see platforms that focus on security and are cross-chain compatible being the next big thing.

>>50693732
Babbies first redpill. Wait until you realize the stock market is just as useless.

no one told me jews were evil and use wall street to rob people. now i know. now i know jews are evil and they run america. dont invest in anything with any jews ever. thats the lesson. never invest in anything you dont control. thats the lesson. kill jews as soon as you can, organize to kill jews, push politicians who will kill jews. the main mode for humanity at this point should be the total elimination of jews on earth

Learnt about bitcoin from a pathetic fud article on encyclopaedia dramattica in 2010, still thought I would mine some. Set up a wallet then instead of mining just played dawn of war. Every time it increased in price I assumed I had missed it and always thought that would be the highest it would go.
If I had mined any though I would have sold it at a dollar and never bought back in so I suppose it's lucky

>>50694453
You're correct anon. I'm staking my NEAR on Binance for 30% APY and I'm also LP mining ORE/ETH for 53% APY.

It’s just a ponzu scheme and I’m sad that I was too young to get in when it was cheap and not mainstream.

>>50704799
Yeah. I had my doubts on ORE ID too but seeing it have accounts with Algorand and Alliance Block changed my mind.

>>50693934
You're worried about the timing because you're not investing in relevant platforms chad. Investments should be long-term and grow over time. I think the next focus of the crypto space would be on Web3 and Cross-chain compatible platforms.

>>50693325
Didn't bought another chainlink and ethereum, didn't trust my guts feeling when it told me to sell the top in 2021

>>50704855
No one can time the market anon. Just get involved in platforms that are building. I opened an account with ORE ID and I feel like a part of something huge as they already have the likes of Republic and Meld as clients.

>>50693325
I didn't start using privacy solutions earlier. My wallet got compromised and I lost a lot of money.

I missed out on MATIC

>>50693325
Too many of us were waiting for the "Asuka Prophesy" to play out, which it almost did. I'm not superstitious, but I swallowed the hook as many of you did.

>>50725272
Well, I got in since 2016 though. I've had my share of wins and losses. The market thought me to pay more attention to fundamentals and now I'm following ORE Network which is focused on decentralized identities, assets and rights of users.

>>50736034
Sorry about that chad

>>50730428
I have good expectations for them too. I'm anticipating the RAILDOT airdrop on the privacy protocol's deployment to Polkadot blockchain.

Waited for a utility spike instead of selling Exchange listing spike. Also thought that inflation would continue to push crypto up

Got greedy with BTC. Bought shitcoins (and still do, yesterday I bought $CHAMP and $SHIB). Didn't jump into the AVAX/LTC/LINK bandwagons..
