I use(d) cryptos for its intended purpose, transactions, but had quite a bit of it go up while doing so. Also bought ripple and eth for like 30x gains. So I was probably up a few hundred k and have cashed out way over a profit. But obviously since then those high profits have gone down quite a bit too.

Not really, I came in 2017 and was a poorfag, I could've made like $100k on average if I didn't trade, but that's still poorfag level so I decided to learn trading. I actually became decent but now the market is dead for medium-long term trades so I cashed out with like 25% profit over a year. It's some JUST level shit but at least I didn't lose money. I could learn bitmex but it looks boring as fuck

Initial around $10k, cashed out around $40k last year and still have $20k sitting in chainlink. Could have had $160k at peak of the bubble but at least all my expenses have been covered.

How do you guys do these numbers? Do you just spread cash around a handful of random cryptos and hope for the best? I've made money off stocks for a while but with crypto I am utterly clueless apart from the tech factor. I know what can succeed and what will fail. 95% of crypto projects are utterly worthless. What I don't know is why the fuck the random price swings for no apparent reason, 100x more than any stock market does. I can't seem to research very much on individual things because there's honestly not much material to read.

Just tell me it was luck please so I don't feel like a brainlet.

I am satisfied with my position, but yeah I should have cashed out more around 15-17k. I am confident we will see more bubble cycles so I'm not really worried. CBA is ~450ish so I am deep in the black.

Not him, but cut your losses early. Especially with shitcoins. If you buy a coin and it's coming back down to where you bought in, sell before you lose money, or before you lose much. I lost a big chunk of mine because I broke that rule. I followed it all the way until after May, when I thought to myself "there's no way it'll go lower, I'll wait for a bounce." Then the bounce never came.

>> No.11102793

I got in late when Bitcoin was like $3k.

I turned $3k into $12k.

I cashed out half, so put $6k into the bank then left the remaining $6k in various coins.

Now that amount is worth $1,100. Meh.

When it's all said and done, 3 or 4 coins are gonna emerge as legitimate worldwide used tokens. And those coins will go up 100x. All other coins will fall to nothing. I think it's still worth being in crypto, but you need to be patient, we are at least one year from any big news that skyrockets a coin.

I like LINK, IOTA, and ETH. All Bitcoin has is the name recognition as being first, it has to die eventually.
