Dear fellow steemers,
It was sep/ 2014 when bitcoin was around 100$, I decided to have a go at the crypto market and put 10k euro of my hard earned money into bitcoin.... pretty much half of what I owned.
I was following the waves and slightly nervous about the volatility of Bitcoin eventually making my 10k into 17k$.
Then on my birday bitcoin was around 100$ again and decided for some reason not to invest.
Following day bitcoin went to 150$ and that was obviously way to expensive so decided not to invest....
Well from that point onwards bitcoin went pretty much in a straight line towards 1250$ and I was just looking at it as I just couldn't find the guts to step in higher than 100$
Then I decided I missed the boat and had a look at litecoin and name coin... well to cut a long story short I managed to
jump on the first litecoin hype which went from 10$ at the time all the way to 47$ ( i also doubled my money through namecoin)
Making my 10k into 90k$ I then had a long think and decided I would leave my money in because I wasn't going to make the same mistake again by missing a further rise.
Litecoin was looking to follow bitcoins footsteps. Unfortunately a week or 2 later I woke up to a nightmare as the chinese decided to pull out and when I looked at the graph i panic sold at exactly 10$. Basically not losing anything apart from my good mood. Biggest lesson learned make sure you cash out your initially sum so that you don't have to panic sell..... I learned this the hard way, basically being to greedy.
After this malarke, I then stuck my money into mooncoins which I bought at 8 satoshi (just before it moved to cryptsy) this went up to 37 quickly and again left my money in until a whale decided to sell everything off to the ground. I decided to leave the crypto world for a bit.
I have just started to come back into crypto again as I do miss the feeling of being part of this hype (nothing feels better than seeing your money grow at such a fast rate) and decided to have a look around new altcoins that have good potential and a strong dev team behind it.
I like to go for max potential and enjoy being part of something new which you can see grow over the years.
As you can read above I am not the best investor but generally my gut feeling is pretty good in terms of coins.
My decision has fallen on :
sumo coin and ubq coin... both are very new and one is a good fork of ETH the other is a fork of Monero.
So have a look at them and let me know what you think. Perhaps you agree or disagree, would love to hear your opinions
