The question is why are you not just setting and forgetting your money until it matures and you can then spend the rest of your time making money and having fun in other ways?

Because you made 10x this year and I made 50x.

Because when you don't have a lot of money, a x2 will not change your life. If you ha e at least 20k ton invest go in btc eth xmr. But when you're a poorfag like me with 3k you need to try the bad way. Work for some, some stagnate (me), some loose everything

Every time I see someone reply like you I feel sad for them because the odds are that you yourself lost money if you're so skeptical of others having had gains.

Well, if you got into crypto in may or earlier this year you'd have to have been an absolute retard not to make crazy gains. If you got in july or later, it's more or less a matter of luck whether you made gains or not due to all the bullshit that happened.

I started with $250. Went into RDD, XBY, and DGB and sold at all of there ATMs. Later on I snagged ANS at $6.
Now I have 15k and while I think I did great, I look at my BTC value now, vs when I first made gains on those three coins and I went from 3BTC to today being at less than 2.

If I would have just held BTC with those initial gains... I would be so much better off.

Longfag here. Bought 30btc at $70 each in 2013, held ever since. Btc averages $100 every five days. Every Friday kaching! I’m $3000 richer for doing absolutely nothing.

I very much r3commend this comfy life
