Hive account@kingofdew Hive account@hasmatt - I bought STR @ .0004750 yesterday. This thing was climbing quick, almost doubling. Thought it would keep going and bam. I think I just saw the STR sitting at .0001650 and right now the XRP is sitting at 0.00009247, down from .00014808. I'm new to trading and just joined Steemit. At the same time, I'm educated in the overall concept of business with a concentration in fin/dig. mktg. so while I lost a nice chunk of the first funds I played with in the market - I also learned some lessons. Holding those coins for the long haul and grabbing that STR giveaway to BTC AND XRP holders.

Something I noticed was missing from this post originally was that XRP was included in the STR giveaway!. Stellar was inspired by XRP so you can almost see the two more as complimentary coins that will likely get pumped back up prior to the giveaway. Long term, it's a great hold anyway because one of them are going to succeed long term, most likely. Lessons learned and it's a fun time - good luck trading!
