So why the picture of a motorbike Glyn?๐ค Well open the post and read the short story of my 4 year crypto adventure๐คช. ๐You might learn something too๐.
My lovely Late 2019 Retro Z900 !! Now 2 years 5 months old.Well this is my pure profit from crypto and bought this as an 18 month old bike in mint original condition with 3,200KM's on the clock for @$10,000 (New @$15,500)๐
So how did I get to this and what about now?
I started in crypto in 2018 after a good friend who also had a Benelli 300 like mine (the white bike behind) suggested to me to get into crypto; he had been doing it for some 6 months but boy we both started in a bear market๐ฅ However, the end of each month I started buying crypto and mainly XRP the big hype at the time and was once above ETH in market cap too. We're going to the moon๐ but umm no๐ฅbut every month with my spare money from contract wages just kept buying.
2019 opened a Binance account and started diversifying and bought my first Bitcoin around $4K and some alts, still just buying and hodling. Then it all started to look better and my portfolio was up some 80% by year end๐. Then covid came along and crashed big time on March 13th 2020 and I had about 800 USDT spare on Binance and I guess out of a shear "Oh F*** it" moment I hit the button and bought more Bitcoin under $5k. On that day my portfolio from memory was down about 40%๐ฅ but as it turned out my "moment" has proved fruitful๐
After this for about 3 months. depressed with covid lockdowns, curfews, no beer๐บ sold for 2 months๐ฅ (but off to the black market on this one๐), I did nothing ..didn't even log into an exchange. But as life progressed here in Thailand & things got better I became active again and went off on the wonderful adventure of learning leverage trading. Hard at first but finally worked out a nice strategy and had a hit win ratio of 65-35 after a couple of hundred trades ...more money made๐.
Come the end of 2020 I was getting really bored hodling my heavy bag of XRP and got out with a small profit, yep sold the lot in one go on a sell order that had been in place for 3 months lol.๐ฅถ Soon as I had that, more BTC and a ton of LINK + some other alts. Lol that LINK I sold about 3 months later and made @220% profit, a bit of BTC, and some other bits in February 2021.
April 2021, I decided to ape into my Z900 Kawasaki because I love Zeds๐ and had the original ones back in the 80's when I was but a young lad ..yep I'm bloody ancient now๐, No it's not an orange Lambo but if you have made a nice profit treat yourself; nice to accumulate but have and end goal too and some goals in between ..My Zed was a middle goal and something real for my efforts๐.
Since then I have done a little leverage trading, opened a Gate account and done quite a lot on Liquidity Mining and made some good cash on that too (Complete 3 part guide by me to this in @Lguigs channel Crypto Analysts & can be found in his pinned post)๐. Right now I'm in a 91% USDT position with $XX,XXX and waiting for the next opportunity still as it's a nervous market this last 4 months eh๐ฅถ Yep, still some BTC and a tiny amount of alts.
So there's my story. What about you?
If you are a small fish like me, set some goals, never put into crypto any month what you can't afford to lose outright as yep its a high risk market.๐ฎ
Never be shy to take a profit. Yeah yeah yeah, but if you waited another 2 months then you could have made more in April 2022, but then you never know eh ..you could tell all the people that on November 10th last year and you'd be wrong๐ as BTC has tumbled since then. Cash in now and then even if it's a bit and spoil yourself. I made $1000 in mid 2021 just buying/selling/ buying back BTC 3 times in a week so I threw a party for my mates๐บ๐บ๐บ &๐๐ฅฉ๐ on me.
Educate yourself, DYOR, & yep more DYOR๐ and take all "influencers" with a pinch of salt๐ค.
If you are newer to the crypto world: Hang in there as for many of you are not in profit right now and neither was I at many times for nearly two years; a rollercoaster ride it can be.๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Posting today as tomorrow I'm off on a Road trip down Southern Thailand & the islands for 2 weeks maybe 3 lol, going with the flow on ma free BTC Zed 900๐๐๐. So you won't see me much as I'll be chiilin, cruisin, sitting on beaches, and having a few๐ป๐ป๐ปor a lot!๐คช. But I'll pop my head in now and then for sure.๐
Keep well all on Banter๐
Cheers, CryptoGlyn.
