I got into crypto early 2017. A friend introduced me into this unknown space. Made lot's of mistakes in the beginning cause i didn't understand shit haha. Blockchain? Wallet? Double top? CMC? So many things you need to know. So i setup an account on Kraken and transferred 500 bucks and bought me some bitcoins. I opened account on Bittrex.com, Poloniex.com, later also on some other exchanges. I sent my bitcoins to those exchanges and started trading.
I tried to read as much as possible to get the hang of it and got in some other coins (altcoins) besides bitcoin like Ethereum, Dash, NEO, Stratis, Lisk, Waves, Monetary Unit, Rise and got me some nice profits. As of now my portfolio is at +10000% with is unbelievable.
I now have a broader portfolio of coins and will try to get myself an early retirement.
