Anyway: the 2nd wave of news regarding shutdown of local exchanges hit hours after I made the purchace, and the value plummeted (it's now hovering just above $4000, that's a 13% decrease). Lesson learned I guess.
And now you're up 6%. Lesson to learn: HODL.
It is incredible how a single trade can teach you so much about bitcoin, and if we are honest, bitcoin seems like it is going to go up once again, bitcoin gold is going to be nothing but a way for people to get their hands on more bitcoin and it seems the segwit2x fork is weakening with each passing day, so things are really looking good for bitcoin despite all the bad news and FUD we had in the previous weeks.
