Bought ripple at $1 yesterday. already 50% up on my investment. Ignore the haters... money to be made in ripple and that's all most people care about.

Waiting for the next dip and bounce.

Nuff said.

I envy you. Wish I wasn't so stupid. I could have had much money now. I bought ripple when it was 0.4. I bought 7400* coins. And I had 1 bitcoin, 1 ethereum and 1580 stellar. Guess what? I threw everything into ripple today. I should be ok right? No, the only thing I have left now is 5000 ripple. I have tried to do trading: sell when price is high and buy when low. Not only today, but in the past too. I promise you. EVERY "EFFING" TIME I sold my ripples, the price gains 0.2 euros in like 30-60 seconds. Coincidence? If I waited for it to drop, it just gained even more. When I eventually bought myself back in with less ripple? Yes, the price dropped of course. Coincidence? It has as I already mentioned, happened every time for me. Probably 10-15 times, I lost count.

It feels so rigged to me. But it is probably just me thinking that. I suck and doesn't deserve any money. Why am I so dumb? NEVER EVER SELL YOUR COINS. Just HODL for atleast a year. I know that everyone says HODL, but it is the best strategy. I am gonna go cry in a corner.

edit: correction

unless you have a very big bag of coins and use 10/15% for playing intraday you are going to lose a lot
only strategy with small amount is holding and cash out a little every time you pass a milestone (e.g. you set a price at which you are going to sell a fraction of your initial investment to stay profitable even if the change is not going in the right direction).
