I've been interested in crypto currencies for awhile. Mostly I've just watched bitcoin shoot through the roof and heard my online friends talking about other alt coins like etherium, litecoin, ripple, etc. but i didn't think i had enough money to invest. I'm a father with 3 kids a up until 3 months ago we lived on a single income and I've had some health issues that were a constant drain on my bank account.
So i sat on the sidelines watching my friends make money. After watching bitcoin surge to 2100 i decided enough is enough i gotta get in. So i set up a coinbase account.
Coinbase is a pain in the ass. The verify took so long that by the time i got that ability to actually buy coins bitcoin was at 2700. Both etherium and litecoin were also high. Everyone with the exception of Jeff Berwick were dancing in the streets predicting bitcoin would hit 3000 within 24 hours and litecoin was no where close to it's peak.
But Jeff Berwick predicted the markets would pull back. And they did. In my haste to get in i didn't wait and bought all my coins at top price. This is not a mistake I'll repeat. When Jeff says buy; buy. When he says wait... dammit I'll wait. Plus Jeff is just a good guy so i recommend watching his videos and listening to his podcasts.
All that being said I'm not panicking. I've watched these coins dip then surge repeatedly. I've heard more than one friend tell me bitcoin was all but dead only to watch it find new heights within 2 or 3 weeks of a market correction.
