My cryptocurrency experience has been has been one that leaves me perplexed each time I think about it.
Before I ventured into crypto I had been hearing about bitcoin and its meteoric rise in value over the years. So I didn't hesitate when a friend of mine suggested I download a browser that gives free bitcoin for using it. Well, to cut the story short after two to three months of constantly using the browser and not even making up to 10 cents worth of bitcoin (plus it consumes battery and data) he didn't need to tell me to delete the app.
After that I was still very open minded and believed crypto was the way forward ( I still do) so, I and another friend of mine joined a smart contract that was reigning at the time called FORTRON. We had seen a previous smart contract called FORSAGE do numbers so we hopped in on FORTRON pretty early expecting it to do similar numbers, but all we got was disappointment.
I was still open minded (what can I say I'm a pretty consistent guy) so I went into crypto proper. With the help of one of my cousins I learnt a little about crypto and opened my binance account and bought Ethereum. It had a little dip and I panicked and converted it to BNB. As though Binance were doing a welcome party for me. BNB doubled in price in a few days. I felt on top of the world at that moment and decided to spread the profit into other coins.
Well, it didn't go quite well. I wasn't doing research just moving my money from one crypto to the other hoping for profit. For some reason it seemed like anytime I sell a coin it rises within the next few days and anytime I sold it dumped in a couple of days. I also joined the Airdrop hunters ( still yet to reasonable profit from any of them).
I later joined a telegram group where they drop signals and majority of the time they would get things right. I didn't follow most of their signals because I didn't have any other spare money to invest. But one day I decided to just convert all my other investments into one of their long term hodl recommendations called SUPER. Shortly after, the bear season started and the value dropped to less than 1 over 3 of my initial investment. Well, it's been almost a year and its value is still not up to 50 percent of my initial investment ( I guessed they weren't kidding when they said it was a long term hodl).
Then I found my way to hive, (once again big thanks to
