In Jaurary 2016 I first heard about Ethereum on this board. At the time it was $1 and it was heavily shilled here and there was no such thing as an "alt" coin as far as this baord was concerned. It was just ETH. No mention of LTC, XMR or even BTC. ETH was the shill.

At the time i tried to buy bitcoin to get in on this ETH thing. I don't even remeber why I was on this board. I even downloaded GETH and tried mining for all of 30mins on my GPU. At the same time the only place I found that would sell me BTC in Australia wanted my ID, Passport and bank details.

I bailed. Uncomfortable with the concept, I let it be and went on holiday with my partner like a normie.

Coming back from my holiday 2 weeks later, ETH had risen from $1 to nearly $10!!!

Obscene! 1000% in weeks.

That was an obscene increase and I had missed the boat because I didn't do the hard bit and take the plunge. At this point it was pretty much an epiphany. If you did not get involved at all, there was a 100% chance of making NOTHING.

So I purchased my first ever bitcoin (4x) at the ripe old price of $$600 AUD ($450 USD i think)

and then I subsequently bought ETH. And I FOMOd hard. I had never traded in my life. I bought the high, then I bought the high more. I bought more BTC, I sold ETH, I sold the LOWs. I sold lows and I bought the HIGHs. I made all the mistakes you would make in your first rodeo in crypto. I traded myself down to half of what i started with.

But on this day in 2016 I paid the ultimate price. I had bought into the first ETH scam ICO. The original.

I bought the DAO. An unverfied contract driven 10000% by pure fucking hype. I had bought into the DAO and woke up on my birthday in 2016 to news that the DAO contract had been hacked. This very day, 1 year ago.

And so here I am. After buying my first BTC, experiencing my first hack, and being as far down as $5000. Maybe even less. I learned to trade. I learned to ignored the hype, I learned to ignore the FUD. I learned to margin trade. I learned to cut my losses.

I ate some serious shit.

And I came out the back pretty ok. I just wanted to share this because it was pre-newfriends. It was pretty catastrophic when we woke and found ETH eat shit like it did. And in hindsight, it all came out ok in the end.

I guess i just wanted to say thankyou old /biz/

I never would have made this money if not for the 1 or 2 autists back in the day.

C-Can I have 1ETH? 0,5ETH perhaps?

I just want to stop being poor.

I envy you anon, good job.

Congratulations anon, good job.

Don't be like that. Im not sure there's many people left on this board that could understand what June 17th, 2016 was like. And its of import to me because it was actually my birthday

It was THE end times.

Good on you mate. Hope to reach your level one day.

Mind sharing what exchanges/apps you use?

EXCUSE ME, I also started in january 2016 with crypto. But unlike all the others I followed buffets advice for longterm since I believed in the motto that the exchange leads to shift the money of unpatient investors to the patient investors. AND YET I unironicly also bought some DAO tokens with the 30% eth I had. Eventually we know what happend to the DAO and my tokens became ´temporarily disabled´.
The difference between our storys is that I didnt day trade or mined or had birthday on that hack day.

>>2483849

Polo and bittrex.
Bittrex was good for getting on the /biz/ shill bandwagons. I actually bought Verge at 5 sats!

Blockfolio for following what i hold.

1broker for leeching off better traders than me

But mostly polo. I've made really good gains using coins I hold as collateral to margin trade the same coins. I rode LTC from 0.01 to 0.024 during segwit and made a mint.
I rode XRP from 10k to 24k. I sold the top really well on XRP and LTC

I bought DGB at 115 sats and sold at 750 sats

I took a margin position on ETh from 0.03 to 0.056

Margin trading and selling the high (hardest part) have been my biggest gains.

Last night I took out a long on LTC and woke up today 2 btc richer.

Good job dude. I put 2k to get in last week. First week was very tough but i hope that ill make it. I just want to use my money in a positive way. This market is so awsome. The tech is such a positive advancement for humanity. And we are the one advancing it. Its a good feeling to be part of this.

>>2483929
Cheers mate, taking this all in.

Recommended long term hodls in the top 100?

>>2483911
Yes

Had i bought and held like a patient investor I would be well ahead of where I am right now. How easy is hindsight trading!? had I held the ETH i bought 14 months ago i would be nearly 100K up on where I am now.

But I didnt. Now I have to work double time to make up for that mistake. Funnily enough, that has actually worked!

>>2483948
LTC
XMR
XRP

Those are my 3 holds right now. Don't fucking shit me about "blah blah bank coin" bullshit. hold those three and make bank.

Trust

>>2483965

What do you think about ARK?

>>2483770

I call bullshit. Altcoins were being shilled long before ETH came around. There was a different scam every month. Who remembers PandacoinPND?

>>2484000

Don't care. I'm starting to get a bit tired of every new /biz/ shilled shit-coin. I won't touch anything on the ethereum network. I'm actually short (and in the green) on ETH now.

LTC
XMR
right now

XRP by the end of this month/july. I bought LTC @ 0.0105 and XMR @ 0.0185

>>2484014

Eth was the heaviest shilled shit in early 2016. That was when i found the board. I can't speak pre-2016. This is just my story

happy birthday jeffrey

I hope we all have more gains in the years to come

How did you start with after getting fucked by eth?

>>2483757
I forgot, congrats

>>2484180

I stopped trading funnily enough. My dejection and apathy might have saved me.
I stopped trading and just let what I had sit for a long time.

Then when we entered the huge bull cycle from march i took out long positions in LTC, ETH and XRP and cashed in big. Also bought and flipped DGB, XVG, REP, GNT and LISK for decent gains.

made 7x on GDB and 6x on verge

Just so everyone knows. LTC is pulling the cup and handle to end all cup and handles.

LTC over the next 2 months is going stratospheric. BUY LTC NOW. Im fucking serious.

Buy LTC and hold for months. Pic related is my SECOND long position in 24 hrs. the first i closed for 2btc profit in less than 24hrs.

This is my new position

>>2484269

>tfw only have 1 LTC

Am I going to make it?

>>2484317

Hey OP, can I interest you in a novel currency that is guaranteed to make you bank? Surely this will make up for your loss in the hack. This fantastic and magical currency is called Byteball. I'm sure you've never heard of it, (((they))) want to keep it to themselves. Features include a DAG instead of a blockchain, a fully anonymous p2p tied currency, extremely easy and normie-friendly wallet, including various "oracle" bots (which obtain data about sports and flight cancellation right now, enabling contractual betting) and conditional payments, free money from proving you have a BTC wallet and how much you have in there, and more.

If you found this information useful, please donate :^)

At the absolute bottom this year it was 5k USD, absolute peak 90k USD

And next year at this time you're going to be mad you didn't buy SWT.

There's a lot of FUD around XRP because "muh bank coin".

It's not a currency for us. It's a tool for a multi-multi--trillion dollar industry that needs to save money anyway it can.
It's a real business that employs 150+ people

it's doesnt rely on ICO, or twitter, or even selling its own token. XRP has a real user in a big boy industry and its in the best interest of both that it increases in value.

It will go $1 plus this year. I hold 120,000 and have an open long postion in another 100k so my money is here my mouth is.

Buy XRP long term

don't forget that you can also get refunded for your extrabalances. Ie, anything you paid more than the factor 1.00 during the DAO ICO, can be entirely refunded.

The same thing happened to me except on a much lower scale. I had 400 dollars in my savings and I lost 320 of it. I thought I was gonna get rich but I ate shit too. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it was at the time. It actually got me up and out of my house and working jobs and developing real life skills (especially social skills). I'm happy for you birthday anon

also pls gibe LTC pls
