did you know it was a bullrun the whole way through? or were there moments where the sentiment shifted during the corrections? like was there ever a doubt that you might be going into a bear market?

What was it like?

Got in spring of 2017.

Felt like an absolute genius. Everything was going up. Almost all the time.

Even when btc stagnated or dropped, alts shot up instead. So it was easy to just hop from btc to the new hot altcoin.

I remember being at work, talking to a few friends. Showed my blockfolio. Refreshed it after about 10 seconds. Another $1000 profit.

This was peak nov/Dec hype, when things like nano and req were hot shit.

Oh boy, was January 2018 a wake up call

Like the other guy said, you feel like a genius. You feel like you're part of the new world. You hear this talk about a "bubble" but you look at your portfolio and you're making $10k every day. And besides, its different this time, people just don't understand that this is a new world and people like you are the brave explorer of it. God you just keep winning! Shit dips? Just hodl a little bit, itll go back x2 as high, just look at bitcoin!

And then it stops dipping and then going higher, it starts dipping and then staying the same. And dipping again. But its okay because you've done drugs before but WOW what a high greed is. You just have to hang in there, you're clenching gold in the pickle jar and you can't release your hand to get it out.

This is your fucking chance! Your whole life the rich cunts have rigged all the games, boomer stocks is a meme for a reason, but this, this is different! Theres no G man goons telling you you need to be an accredited investor and have $250k to even play the game, no massive taxes on every trade, no KYC, its a casino but there's no house edge! And you'll be fucking damned if you'll pull out for a measly 10x to hand it over to the rich cunts that have controlled your entire existence just so you can go back to treading water. You'd rather lose it all.

So you lost it all.

before the 2018 crash, did any of the dips worry you at all?

It is, I don't really regret it. Or at least I try not to. It was a great experience. But man I would love to still have that $150k. 3 years later I'm back in the game again and taking the lessons I learned the first time.

>>22820623
the first one, yes. And then you see all the shit about how people keep saying BTC is a bubble and then it just explodes even higher. By then you've huffed it all up and you're high on your own supply.
