Was part of a discord and we were trying to make a coin back in 2017 to cash in on the hype and the guy in charge wanted like 10-20 OMG tokens from us each to buy a website. He took our coins and disappeared. At the time they were only worth like 50$ but it spiked and was worth a few hundred at the top.

I probably could have made it if I only invested in bitcoin over the past few years, at basically any level of support, while working fulltime instead of chasing the shitcoin high.

[Anonymous No.55392981]

My story doesn't really involve a particular purchase, it's about when I actually got into crypto. I knew about Bitcoin in early 2012 through a real life friend but never bought any of my own at that point. I then actually made an account on an exchange in early 2016 but I had some kind of verification issue and just kind of let it sitting because I didn't really know other ways to get into crypto and just didn't have enough of an opinion to decide if I thought it might get big in the future. Then finally in late 2021 I actually did get into the game which was right when everything was printing money.

Fortunately the money I've invested really isn't that much (only around 1k) so I'm not about to off myself or anything over it, but I'm pretty deep in the red in terms of the investment.

Lost 100k on mthd finance, which was doing some upgrade uniswap created before them, probably uni v2 localized liquidty or whatever.

Also some stupid farm tokens in polygon and eth. One was called dino and the other one was from a solo dev, never again putting money into solo devs which dissapear when they get a job elsewhere or get rich.

I turned barely 1,600 euros into over 110k over the course of three years by just holding Chainlink.
When it hit about 51 euros I sold, but only a little bit (4k euros worth) thinking it would go higher. It didn't.

This may not seem like a lot to you guys, but have in mind that in my Europoor country people think earning over 20k a year is a "high" salary.
I sold at the very peak but only a small % of my bag. Should've sold all of it. Now I'm here holding this shitcoin for the foreseeable future.

The biggest mistake however is the time I wasted and the effort I didn't put into things because I thought I'd eventually be rich from LINK anyway.

Additional note for the "didnt buy btc in 2009 :(" imbeciles, you wouldve bought 500 at ten cents, sold when it hit one dollar and consider yourself a lucky winner. Then you'd go back in to swing trade when it hits 10-100 and manage to buy every top and sell every bottom and now you'd be even more broke and even more suicidal.

Folks will keep chanting how they regret not catching a specific lowcap when it was initially hyped. Crypto is for the chads who aren't afraid to take risks. The ultimate move before the bear market kicks in is to snatch up low caps like UTK, OCEAN, and TRIAS that ride the wave of the current narrative. Cash in your profits for stablecoins when they peak, scoop up BTC at its lowest dip, then hustle those gains into more low caps. Rinse and repeat

I've got a little in LTC. It's almost a stablecoin version of bitcoin. It never varies outside of $20 and it's pretty reliable. The coin has utility as something to watch but once it pumps, I'll move to something else.
It reliably puts out and gets a little attention but it's so slow and so little. The halving will pump it a little bit but it won't have staying power.

Ah well, I may have been drunk one night and fell for the popular Youtube page hijack, fake Livestream and "Get a x10 airdrop by sending to this address" scam... I deserved it, the greed took me!

crypto newfag here,

I was wondering where I could buy like 3 USD worth of LTC (or any low fee coin) and send it to an address for a payment.

As of now the only exchange account I have is an uphold one I made to get the free BAT a while ago. Uphold has a minimum of 10$ for purchase.

Preferably I'd like to buy the 3$ LTC without going through all the KYC procedures.
