At the beginning of August 2017, against the background of the frenzied growth of bitcoin, then it cost about $ 4000, I seriously thought about investing in crypto-currencies.

I told this to friends who at the time did not know anything about the crypt, but only one supported my idea. Having collected approximately equal amounts, later we made a purchase.
At that moment, I already knew about the coinspot, and having analyzed the views of experienced investors and the fundamental base of some coins - I made a purchase with my friend.
The main part of the deposit was decided to distribute between such coins as ripple, litecoin and btc.

At that time, I did not fully understand the meaning of the medium and long-term trade, trying to get the maximum profit as quickly as possible, often trading on emotions.
After waiting for a local pampa in early October, I decided to merge the ripple redistribution into other coins. At that time, I thought this was the only right decision. I did not think that the rate could rise above 25 cents ..

Some time passed and I forgot about him. And how did I oh - l when I saw a course more than $ 3 for xrp. I could make millions of rubles from the enclosed deposit.
Soon I learned from a friend that he did not sell and waited for growth ..

At first I could not believe what was happening.

At first, what was happening did not fit into my head. I wanted to go out the window or throw everything.

The same happened with LTC. I kept it for a long time, but at the time when its price soared to 83-85 dollars in late August, greed prevented me from selling the asset. I was waiting for him even higher. I do not know what happened in my head, but for some reason I did not wait for a good growth and apparently despaired at the last moment, I sold all the accumulations in LTC to bitcoin. And almost immediately after that, the exponential growth began to 320 dollars. At first it seemed that this was not happening to me and I could not miss it. What was happening was like a bad dream. This happened less than a month before the pampas.

My advice to beginners and those who read this post - Sometimes you need to be able to wait, but do not be greedy. Crypto currency is like a drug. Having made the wrong move here you can lose everything. Do not repeat mistakes and learn from someone else's experience. Wink

I love the detailed explanation and your comparison with cryptocurrency as a drug, since like most of the elderly say, "one miss, you die". So make most of the opportunity, but do not let greed get in between because it will only be catastrophic in the long run.
