I’m in the green for the first time in my crypto career
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I probably would have sold for a hefty loss if it wasn’t for Reddit so thank you.</p> <p>It all began around May this year when my friend was telling me about his sweet crypto gains. I wanted some.</p> <p>With an intention of buying and not looking at it again for 5 years, I slapped a fat lump sum investment across BTC, ETH and MATIC. Buying BTC at $60k and a +$2 MATIC as well, I can’t remember the ETH entry but can’t imagine it was great. I forgot to mention I didn’t even know what a blockchain was at this point.</p> <p>Obviously we all know what happened in May. I can’t lie soiled my pants when when the market plummeted. Little did I know, that soil would be the fertiliser that made me grow into the man I am today. Luckily I turned to Reddit before cashing it all out, I was close, but even though 50% of the sub seemed to have also soiled themselves some of you managed to relieve my worries, so thanks.</p> <p>You taught me the importance of knowing what I was investing my money into. So I went and learnt what a blockchain was, those things are pretty cool. Although I did hit a point where I thought because I could explain to my friends what a blockchain was, that it made me some kind of crypto god and started swapping a load of them around daily. Let’s just say I learned the hard way.</p> <p>5 months on, I now have a sensible DCA strategy in place. Only investing in coins that I personally believe in, not what user MegaFartSniffer69 thinks is going to the moon.</p> <p>As a beginner I can’t really contribute much to the sub so I thought I’d just make a bit of a thank you post since I was so happy to have finally made some gains!</p> <p>Repost as I didn’t have 500 karmas or something like that</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ChiefKeithh"> /u/ChiefKeithh </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qffirc/im_in_the_green_for_the_first_time_in_my_crypto/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qffirc/im_in_the_green_for_the_first_time_in_my_crypto/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
