I know a normie, who made 2 million out of $3000 since October.
I would never do what he did tho, that was complete luck. He bought into Bitconnect and was using his BCC gains to buy into other ponzi ICOs like BItconnect. They went x1000 in the first 2 weeks.
Although he lost most of his gains when Bitconnect exit scammed - most ponzis tanked too.

OP here.

I started in April, fucked around, bought ETH at $100, bought Ripple and got to $12k at the end of the May bull run. I bought into the Bancor and Status (sold it before the pump after I broke even and got 60% ROI) ICOs. Saw the crypto market get butchered in early summer and took a break, at the time I was holding ETH, GNT, ANT, Bancor, Ripple. Went down to as low as $4.8k, held. I completely missed the BTC bullrun. Started to take interest in my coins again in November, bought LTC at $100, LTC and ETH gains took me from $8k to $20k in December. Sold Ripple, bought XLM, OMG. Got to $31k two weeks ago.
The funniest thing is that I always did my research and never panic sold shit. Did fall for some P&Ds in June-July but it was a marginal amount of money.
This is my portfolio now.

I don't say that but neither do I care much about Jews. Anyway I researched Bancor and it was praised in many more places than just /biz/. Apart from the Jew factor it looked like a perfect ICO, and it turned out to be one of the worst.
I want to reinvest the money I hold in it but I'm still down in ETH value and I'm afraid it will pump when I sell, like Status did.

Started first week of August while alts were at ATH, before the China and JP Morgan FUD. I didn't know shit about the market and just bought in. That set me back a good 2 months while waiting for my OMG NEO and IOTA to go back up. My initial buy-in was $7500 over 3 months. I'm doing well but all these faggot larpers make me feel inferior. Oh well now I'm holding WTC VEN XLM OMG and I'm comfy knowing all of them will survive the coming purge.

>> No.7067175

Similar situation for me. I started with £3k in April, high of £66k and I'm at £30k right now with my principal cashed out. What I've come to understand is in this market right now you'll make more money by being a normie drone and following whatever is hyped, no matter how fake the team, how bad the technology or how fundamentally useless the idea. The market is totally irrational and applying rational thought to your positions is a mistake. The shitcoin bubble will eventually pop and most of the shitcoin holding braggarts will be left with nothing but bags. At that point good long term investments in good coins will begin to pay real dividends.

Newfag, started late december as a coinbase normie and then got a few heavily-shilled coins on Binance (ICX, REQ, etc). At my peak I was up 20% and felt like a genius. For the last 2-3 weeks I've been pretty much right where I started, largely thanks to LTC bags.
Not sure if I should be grateful for outperforming the market as a whole (which is down since Dec rather than even like my holdings) or mad for lacking the courage to try the high stakes ICO game... It's a constant inner struggle.

My man, all the REAL crypto money to be made is in black market escrow.

You buy a cargo container of Thais to be held in some bay somewhere in Somalia and sell them for a profit to Chinese organ harvesters.
