Sorry to call your attention I need to get something clear about you investing in bitcoin, after you made your research and you invested 20$ in bitcoin and some of your money to altcoin. Now my question is does the lost only comes from bitcoin or those altcoin you invested gave you what you wanted?
Because I can't believe you totally lost rather bitcoin would take time to recover than any other altcion out there. Some of the altcoin may not survive the bear market while some of them may end up folding down.
I am in loss of ~80% mostly because of altcoin i doesn't knew that altcoin doesn't survive in bear market even if it have very good project.
that a mistake when i was new.
Some people have always claimed that they have been making profits from trading altcoin but I have never had such an experience, which is why I focus mainly on Bitcoin investments. Bitcoin has gone through so many challenging times and survived all.
what's your story?
I was a freelancer writer on fiverr and in mid of 2017 I received an order to write about bitcoin. That's the first time I came to know about Bitcoin and it took me almost 2 years to get some bitcoin in my wallet. The centralized freelance platforms deduct too much money like fiverr deduct 20% from every order and you get your payment after 14 days. The liberty bitcoin gave to everyone including freelancers is that you get your money instantly with no cuts and commission.
If some of these freelancing firms will add Bitcoin as their alternative payment currency it will be very nice. It will help freelancers to save and hold Bitcoin. This forum (bitcointalk) is one of the major platforms that has helped many people to earn Bitcoin and am also benefitting from it. P2P platforms and other decentralized platforms are always the best places to keep your coins. Exchanges are not different from banks and other financial institutions that are greedy because of profit-making.
