>Trade alt coin for ether a few weeks back.
>ether gains 30%
>alt coin gains far more
>worse than if I had done nothing

Why is everyone on /biz/ so impatient? BTC is up $1000 USD in one month and ETH is up $200. Why can't anyone here just buy reliable coins and hold? I started off with $100 in BTC and $100 in ETH, From the $200 total I am now up to $450 by just sitting back and doing nothing. I do the same thing with stocks on RH.

Same here

Had 36 ETH, diversified it and kept 14.5 ETH

mfw my alts underperformed my eth by 21%.

mfw it I did not touch anything I would have 1.1k€ more right now

I put $200 into DGB and cashed out $6000 or so just after the peak.

Feels nicer than your $450 - that's why people are impatient.

was holding 34 eth

trade 24 eth into btc at 0.048 per eth
eth immediately skyrockets upto 0.07-0.08 a day after i do it.

In the 3 weeks since i've done it, i've gained like 0.78 btc from trading altcoins but i would of had more if i just left it in eth.

I keep trying to make gains that will beat the potential that the 24 i had could of made, but ETH KEEPS GOING UP

Cause we're all poor and don't have a lot of money to throw down.


It will haunt us if we put $100 in ether and sit.
It could grow 20x times but we would always kick outselves. 'WHY DIDN'T I HAVE ENOUGH TO PUT $1000'

altcoins gives us hope of rockets to take our few hundreds to a few thousands, then diversify in safe coins.

Had 10 eth. Split 5 eth evenly between sia, 1st, DGB, bitbean, bay, and rdd.
Down like $600 in possible gains

you have no idea of pain friend

I bought 284 ether for like 50 cents - $1 a pop 2 years ago and was forced to sell them to pay rent.

Ignored it for years till just now when i noticed it was fucking $300 per ether

Thats $91,000 loss for being poor & too crippled to work.

fuck my life.

Similar shit here, I had a chunk of BTC and had to sell all but one to survive since the German company that wanted to employ me made me wait for 5 months.

I said fuck them and got the same salary in Bulgaria tho... Which made for cheaper life, thus more money to invest in ETH somewhat early (80 eur).

I was pissed too, but sometimes our misfortunes work in our favor, brotha. Keep your head up, you're gonna make it!

Similar story. When I was just getting into crypto years ago, I spent a lot of time wondering when the next paycheck was going to come from. Needless to say, that influences your decision making in a very bad way (eg, sold my 200ETH a year ago). I'll never get over that one.

>> No.2376535

Last year when btc was only 400 dollars I started trading alt coins and bought a whole btc. (Was too afraid to buy more). I had no clue what I was doing and lost .75 of my btc. i did eventually get down to .12 btc, but got back to ~.25 with the first monero pump about a year ago. I sold my btc at like $180, and then it goes to 800. I buy .25 more btc and it dumps immediately to like 600, and i sold at a loss. I lost like 500 bucks total and felt like shit.

i feel better though because i bought 15 eth at 77.
