I started with about 1k usd in May and now have 5k, cashed out about 4k already. Couple good investments (bought some neo when it was still antshares) cancelled out some retarded trades and early sells. Its easy to look at some breakout coins and moon missions that you missed and get down on yourself but we're still making it. Its still relatively early in the game, and for most people even doubling your initial profit in a matter of months would be insane. Relax and enjoy this ride. Good luck in 2018 boys.

Given that BTC was at a low from which it rose only as early as August 2015, you made a good decission for 3 years.

If you bought around the GDAX crash, you'd e.g. buy at 700$ only to witness a bear market down to 200$ of over a year. It's not like Bitcoin always was rising exponentially.

I would have invested when it was that low but I had no capital. I've been completely broke for years.

July was a good time to start. Not much you could do to not make 5x up until this point. Half my gains are from july to now.

May: 1k -> 5k :/

>> No.5782675

31k invested as of last month, up almost 40k with a total portfolio of nearly 70k with current market prices. Here are my picks

55k xlm
79k trx
3k xrp
1 bitcoin
1.4 dash
7 eth
6k 0x

My investment strategy, pick company’s with operating platforms (for the most part) and HODL, for sure going to keep for at least one year to avoid capital gains, not really buying and selling in between market shifts, living like a poorfag atm.

Good luck boys!

Hopefully we have not missed the boat and make it brah.

This is the spirit, just put in all your money
If you lose it its too bad, if you make gains it could put you on an entirely different path. I mean you don't have to live under a bridge but u can change some of your lifestyle choices to save up more money to invest

>If I don't at least try my chance at it while it's easy I will hate myself for this.

This is why I started and I'm up 1000% in a month. Its madness. A modern day gold rush.

Pissed away 40% of my gains panic liquidating after some Korea FUD. Pissed away another 40% FOMO-buying the "dip" on the XRP rally when it was at 2.35. Still at 2X my initial investment from mid-December, but it's easy to look back and cringe at how much of a brainlet I was/am.

Same, I started Alts 2 weeks ago after getting into BTC/ETH/LTC around thanksgiving. My parents offered me money to get bigger gains, but I didn't want to lose their money in 1s and 0s.

I'm up 2x since then, I'm such a fucking NEET.
