I'm an Ausfag and the exchange I'm using doesn't have many altcoins.
It was either this or deal with coinbases $300 limit and no selling rule

I'm my first week I made money on ark I think, can't quite remember, way back in the day.
I can tell you about my first year though:
>Bought a total of 46 ETH for about 3k in all
>After a while and some (what were then to me) sick gainz I moved most of it into other shitcoins
>Aka fell for the trading meme
>Made money on some, lost money on others
In the end I only lost the opportunity to have even better gains if I just had held
>Now I have only about 19 ETH and $2000 worth of a certain shitcoin
>Me
>900 USD
>See that everyone is shilling ANS/Neo
>Buy neo at $9
>See that OMG is rising fast
>Buy OMG at $3
>See that everyone is shilling SIGT
>Buy SIGT at $0.05
>Sell NEO at $32
>Sell SIGT at $0.15
>Panic sell OMG at $4 because of huge FUD on /biz/ and price volatility

1. Why the fuck are you using poli payments when a direct bank deposit is faster and free?
2. Why the fuck are you buying that overpriced shitcoin? Buy something that is actually undervalued, like Bitcoin Cash.

My first week was right before the June/July crash when BTC went to $1800. I learned hard and fast but it was an exciting time to get in nonetheless.
Started 3 months ago, could have made so much if I knew what was coming.
Monero at 20, etc at 2, eth at 20, btc was around 1200,

>Boy howdy that sounds like a sexually questionable good investment
Fast forward to now, I have more money than I know what to do with, and also sucked some dicks. I've since dumped antshares for OMG, but I haven't dumped dicks.
