I feel like a lot of folks on here and blogs are long time investors. I however will claim, I started September 1st 2017. I impulsively bought some bitcoin (BTC) after being scared to risk the little money I earn. During that day, bitcoin had reached its peak and I didn't know better, I did the newbie thing and bought in because of the hype.
That impulse to jump into action changed my life. Maybe it wasn't the best time to buy as a good entry point (during that time) but it helped me be a bit more fearless. With one hit of the buy button, I became more and more engaged in investing and it led me to educate myself in learning about other sorts of investing methods and being more comfortable with risk. So I was learning whatever I could. Everything slowly has come together. Well...as together as it can be for a new investor. That investment has led me down a curvy path thus far and I'm only beginning. I have been downa a path of lots of lessons (aka loss of minor amounts of monies) and some profits but there is always something learned somewhere. Now I'm here on steemit trying to share my story and wisdom for those newbie traders like myself and share the knowledge as I go along it myself.
Lesson 1 of being an investor...Invest your time in education then invest your monies and reinvest your profits.
..So I'm still learning on how steemit works but I think upvoting and following me is good so feel free to do so! Thanks!
