Oldfags who still haven't made it, what went wrong?
>>59597856Didn't bought enough LINK during the 2018 bottom. Didn't sold any LINK during the 2021 top.I made other mistakes but those are the most impactful.
Not selling LINK when it reached 50$Not buying BTC because "it has the least moon potential" when 99% of altcoins crab or shit themselves, even useful onesNot putting more money in because "dont invest what you're not willing to lose!" and "its a ponzi, it can't go up forever, surely $17k is the top"Not investing earlier and holding a reserve no matter what
>>59597856"Made it" number went up.
Alcoholism.
>>59597856hi bud I've been here since 2013 when the board was first created I'm 29 years old now so let me give you a QRD. >initially fell for the 'no way the banks are gonna let this technology just replace them, this shit is gonna get banned' FUD>obviously not true, load ze tether.exe FUD>fell for the start a business meme, invested life savings into >COVID wipes it out and Bitcoin goes on a generational sale now that my business is kill and I'm insolvent then more recently I got into options and round tripped a make it stack back into my break even. some of us pre-programmed to not make it
We're all gonna make it
>>59597856margin trading, turned 500k into 20k.
>>59597856I was retail who bought the tippy top last cycle and price hasn't gone up yet so not only have I not made it, I'm not even in profit yet
>>595978562017 I was too broke for the gains to be life changing2021 I lost most of it on nft's
>>59597856>Oldfags who still haven't made it, what went wrong?both covid and ukraine war caused me to lose employment and I had nothing to put in during bear market
>>59597856lazy
>>595978562021 oldfag here, basically I didnt sell the top and I didnt accumulate enough in the bear. If this run continues I might still make it but things don't look good now..
>>59597856greedfell for the hodl meme when it only applies to bitcoin
made 100k from 300$ in 2021 feb->juneslowly faded all of it away until start of 2022 in shitcoins and snipe bots andshit, then took on 10k debt which crippled my finances for the past 2 years (eastern europe fag) that am now gonna finally pay off in 2 months and be (relatively) fine.Almost went to 200k with shib right before it 10xed in 2021 may when i put in 20k, but my transaction timed out because the price jumped too high in that moment.2022 was me trying to make shitcoins on eth that never went anywhere, and i was way late for SOL shitcoins last year and all of that. I think shitcoins are super dead now, gonna try to build a portfolio off my wage and flip cars, go into e-commerce this year.
>>59597966damn rip brother. $500k of your own money?
>>59597885yeah that too. no good guys, i'd be retired on a yatch with 10 figures if it wasnt for the booze.I guess im still a might make it?NW of a million at early 30s and crypto is only gambling money. im going to be a made it late but still made it.
>>59597856I called the tops but bought back in then stubbornly held twice. This cut my stack into a third. Also I now live alone so my bills are so high that I can't really stack anything and if I do, it's not even close in percentage to if I were to actually make a trade
>>59598247>NW of a million at early 30snice, I'm hoping to hit $300k by 30. that'd be enough of a nest egg for me to go full time with my business, passion projects, go on vacations / travel or fun jobs which I'd consider 'made it' status.
>>59597856>2017>be me >some guys I know are in need of funding to get recreational marijuana stores open after state passed legalization >(guy literally just started construction on 3 restaurants so he was tapped out for cash)>I liquidate my vanguard portfolio and borrow $50k for a total of $150k>delay delay delay >about 3-4 years go by >finally get stores open >debt gets paid off first so still no distribution >”dude we’re going to pay you $60k/yr”>lol jk its $30k>lol taxes were high so it’s like $20kIf I just put it in TQQQ I’d have probably 4x’d that money by now.Additionally, >get some money up and start buying bitcoin in 2019 at $10-11k>go all in around $14k>baghold down to $40k in bear market >make money but not a lot>sit on my hands the entire bear market >FOMO back in March/April 2024>100% alt coins / memes >portfolio goes down ~50% and I’m down $100k>HODL >portfolio gets up to $325k>dumps again >current value at time of writing this is $223k
>>59597856HODL'd when I should have SODL'd
Buying LINK
>>59598648damn that was a bad move. why would you be loaning money out like that when you have so little? and you borrowed money to loan money? don't mean to kick you when you're down but that seems odd
Chronic congenital illness.
>>59598668I didn’t loan money, I bought equity in the company. I get $30/k year right now but I own 3% of the company which has 2 stores right now. We can have up to 3 stores per the license but doesn’t look like we’re doing a third any time soon and that’s the only way I’d be getting up tk $60k yr.Additionally, if we sell the entire business I get paid from that too so the distributions are kind of like a dividend.
>>59598700ah ok that's not so bad then. would've been a terrible move if it was a loan and they were only paying back 20k a year after 3-4 years.
Listening to this stupid board
>>59597856Didn't sell the topDidn't buy the bottomTale as old as time
bought some btc on mt gox in 2011 and got it back recentlywas sidelined during the 2014 bull run cuz depression. would have bought etherium if I had my shit togetherspent a year in jail between 2021 and 2022 and as a result missed shib and doge coin
Bought the wrong altcoin.
>>59597856intially BTC maxi who sold too soon multiple times +Monero cucked and basically is hated by the gubment and will eventually be jewed to death
I bought BTC in 2014 but I didn't know what I was buying so only bought 0.3 BTC (which I still have).Didn't pay attention or buy again until 2021.
>>59598716It’s really not.It’s just way less good than what the expectations were. The entire industry has struggled. We’re one of the few companies actually laying their bills.Combination of over supply, under demand, and states over regulating / strangling with taxes. It is what it is though.I took a high risk bet and it didn’t go my way but on the bright side I will eventually get paid back so I can’t complain too much. With a lot of investments you’re SOL if it doesn’t go your way.
Started with only $100 in 2017Made $1k in 2017 then $10k in 2020$10k to $400k in 2021Kept 3/4ths of folio in a promising alt as a researched yolo for 7figsSold the ukraine crash, had $130k come election dayHad stables locked up for higher APR, wasn't able to invest fast enough$160k now
>>5959870030k a year is amazing, why are you upset. Assuming a conservative safe withdrawal rate you'd need a million dollars in the S&P to generate that kind of perpetual income with no drawdown on your capital. Considering you only invested 150k to generate that in perpetuity you practically hit the lottery dude, be happy.
>>59597856I've just slurped EOS, staking it right away on Binance. I'm gonna make it
>>59597856i have a feeling we are about to make it..
>>59597856Wasted years in the Solana casino, buying trash that never pumped. Now it’s SUI, SOL, and TOKEN for me. Playing it safe but still hoping to finally make it this time.
>>59597856believed in the hold and stake method. All my staked coins have lost all gains and would of made it if I took profits instead of staking them up for periods of time
>>59597856>Oldfags who still haven't made it, what went wrong?They took the advice of /biz/,>ngmi
I didn't yet think this shit would be the only way to make it for me. I thought I'd get education and a regular-ish job, etc. During corona I realized it's never going to work and I don't want it to work any more anywqy so it's either getting lucky or NEETing on gibs forever.
>>59601512I believe in it too, its great for passive income, but it’s all about balance.for instance, i have some of my Tribally tokens staked, keep some for gaming, and can earn while playing and take profits when the market moves in my favor.
>>59601359The market’s shaping up nicely, and I’ve positioned with Sui, Trb, Uafc, and Pepe, keeping it steady and trusting the process.
>>59597856>didn't buy xrp
>>59601503Kek, I Picked up TOKEN at launch to go with Sui and Pepe. The no-presale setup feels fair, and it’s refreshing to see a project that focuses on actual accessibility without overcomplicating things.
>>59597856I could have been a VERY early bitcoin owner but realized it's pointless and that prevented me from making money. Then projects that are truly great like monero or some penny stocks are actually innovative or valuable but simply don't make me that much money. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of my purpose as an investor and the nature of humanity (probably autism). Then I sunk all my savings into a house, family and got a boring job. Been trying to climb back up ever since.
>>59597856Whores and cocaine.
>>59601514The /biz/ advice was Link, XRP, and hodl bitcoin. Each one vindicated. Hell even doge tards made money.
>>59597856Spent too much time messing with Tapswap instead of stacking real gains. At least I made some decent money on Notcoin. Still farming Boinkers, tho, hoping it finally hits.
>>59597856i got psyopped into the index fund meme
I've been into cryptos since 2011 but I've always rotated into shitcoins and rug pulls. Internet test shows my IQ is 82. I don't doubt that. Now I have a solid stack of meme coins and I wont sell until my portfolio reaches $10k.
>>59597856/biz/ is a scam that sells you on the idea of magic beans and it turns out the only way to make it is to actually sell when you've turned 13k into 170k instead of holding for more.
>>59597890>some of us pre-programmed to not make itYou know what's so funny is I've posted before the best advice is to know when to walk away and then /biz/lets start challenging me on how many millions I've made.>you can't learn from your mistakes and point out the market doesn't' go up forever unless you're a trillionaire
>>59597856Im not a /biz/ regular, what's the play right now?
>>59597856I made my first profit in this bull cycle from participating in Token.com fair launch yesterday.I just understand what they mean by being early
>>59602522Fk it, saw a post on this yesterday but didn't bother to check it
>>59597856I lost everything on monke nft's
>>59601911I doubt if you will ever make it>>59602522I guess you're new to the game
>>59598700you are set for life lol you should reinvest that money and open the third store, and be sure to get another % of the company.
>>59602567You're still early if you buy now. I got some today because going through the projects app makes me optimistic about it
>>59602608Are NFTs still a thing?>>59602719But it has gone over 50x already
>>5960283150x in a single day is crazy. If anything I would wait for a dip then load up. Most of the good projects in this cycle moved in a similar way
>>59601751A good catch for sure, I think at it's current mcap, it still very undervalued with the kind of product and utility backing it
>>59602675That's literally what you call retiring, nothing beats a good source of passive income>>59602831Doesn't mean it can't pull another 50x kek
>>59602882What product does it have?
I lost 70% of my portfolio on celsius. I would have made it by now :(. Lesson learnt.
>>59602969a video based platform where you can basically learn about different cryptos and invest in them directly, think of it as a combo of cmc and tiktok
>>59602567Don't be too hard on yourself, we win some and we lose some.
>>59602977Got rekt to ftx and luna, gradually working my way back up
>>59603010I've heard you guys are getting a lot of it back in cash. Did you get it already?
>>59603002I've had the app for a while now, they just need to get more assets listed to make it better, especially the popular ones
>>59597856I was an inexperienced emotional investor and as a result didn’t buy enough link, sold half of it during Covid dip, bought way too many alts thinking that was the best strategy if one would 10,000x and never sold the top in 2021 and midwitted meme coins. I am hardened investor now that understands how much to buy if a token for a make it stack and know top signals and bottom signals and take profits but still haven’t made it. Only at 500k atm….
>>596028824m mcap from 100k fair launch, not a bad run
>>59601875Tapswap? More like Trap-swap, at least you’re farming Boinkers now, might turn out to be the buffet you’ve been waiting for, it’s got potential if you keep at it.
>>59597890>fell for the start a business meme, invested life savings into >COVID wipes it outFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGlad to hear you are at least breaking even in current year.I wish you the best.
>>59597856I haven't made it for the simple fact that I am a third worlder. I made all the right decisions, but it's hard to make it when your country uses monopoly money. Picrel is a fucking miracle.
>>59603002They really made a crypto app for genZs kek
>>59603092Send it to $40m and give me that 10x or rope
>>59597856I didn't believe in crypto. The one time I got into it it crabbed for like 6 months so I threw it aside. I'd have made so much money, bros...
>>59597890you gambled and lost, it happens the longer you're in the game and still playing with your entire fund.>>59602043>to know when to walk awaythis is 100% the most important skill and most of /biz/ doesnt even comprehend the concept of it. You retards could make a billion dollars, and you'd lose it all within a few years because you'd be trying to make even more no matter what.
>>59597856>what went wrong?They were fading trending narratives like AI agent memes like UAFC.
>>59603191Easier to onboard normies, makes doing your due diligence easier, gives you a token score for each coin, how's it not based
>>59602882good range for dca if you're looking to stick around long term
>>59603290>start business>right before covid wipes it out>you gambled and lostCool stary brahYou act like he took his life savings and threw it on 0DTE puts
>>59603126The worst part was the crazy bitcoin sale right after, followed by a giga moon. In fall 2019 was literally debating going all in on BTC or starting a biz, made the wrong choice kek. I have recovered though and business is back up so no ragrets I suppose
>>59603290>you gambled and lost with what, starting a business? Otherwise no I didn’t
>>59597890the board was created in feb 2014, liar
I bought bitcoin in early 2011, when it was 80 cents per piece, had hundreds of them at one point. I made enough to pay off my house but not more than that, because I sold relatively early (though not at just one specific time, it was a series of sells and rebuys throughout the years).I don't regret it at all. I think I made the smart choice taking my profits (a kind of windfall that most people never see in their life), and not pushing my luck. Sure, it ended up just rising even higher and I could have had tens of millions of dollars now, but I couldn't possibly know that at the time. It was a gamble and could easily have gone the other way instead.
>>59602522first Profit?what have you been Doing?
>>59603002they've really made researching fun and easy.. big ups
>>59598163started with 5k in BTC in 2013 turned that to around 500k until 2021 and then lost it all in 2022 in a few really bad trades
>>59597856I held XRP for four years while JP Morgan and the US Federal Government tried to ruin it because BoA started using XRP internally and Ripple refused a JP Morgan buyout.
>>59602567you see right there is a difference between the rich and the poor... while I took the initiative and made profits, you snoozed and lost... well, there is still hope for you
>>59603964Did he really say that? If so, I might have to change my view on the fat francophile bastard.
>>59597856Leverage too late in the cycle. I do this everytime. Happened in 2018, and again in 2022. I get impatient and try to trade the chop, chasing my ath. End up getting liquidated. Did the same this summer desu, after the spring pump. Went long too early and wiped out $200k in gains from this spring …. Again. Leverage works for me when trade the range, but I’m always tempted to push it, trying to catch breakouts. It’s fucked me many times. This week for example… I longed the bottom of the wick on Monday and ride it up. Closing here cause I think we go back down to touch lower part of the range. I don’t think my long entry would have been threatened, but it’s better to just trade the range, cause psychologically it’s harder to close a position you had a good entry on after rountripping it ime.
Holy fuck. this thread is a jeet magnet. the state.
>>59603370the token score is an interesting approach. makes it kinda easy to know what to expect when doing your research
>>59604041kek
>>59604139You know it.
margin. absolute cancer that shit, NEVER try it the money I have left is in a boomer fund12% every year is fine with me
I honestly lost interest in crypto because it's just too much of a dishonest market, deep down we all know it's useless
>>59605461i have 72k Link stakedsorry
>>59597856had to sell everything to pay off irl debt as a student, thus missing out accumulation during 2016, 2019, and 2023
>>59605500i worked my wat through that and recently retired
>>59605506sorry about the typo but i'm still retired and it works
>>59603707how many moonshots have you bagged since then?>>59603941you mean token.com?
>>59603010Just hang in there Anon.. Wagmi>>59603031what is this diabolic take?
>>59598163I hope this was state pension funds and not your hard earned money
>>59597995damn i thought this was quality bait
>made 235k around 2021>allowed my delusions to take over, "it will go up forever, just another 5x for a million baby">got obliterate when the bear started, down to 70k>had to take some money out and deal with life>problem after problem destroyed my savings >only today got back to 50k in crypto money with zero debt Around 2021 I really entertained the idea of taking the entire 235k out, spread it out in safe investments, and reach 1M the "long" way by saving and investing most of my salary for the next nine years. If I had done that, I would be at 500k today instead of 50k. Right now I'm feeling the urge to just take my 50k out and quit crypto forever, but fuck man, it will take at last four years of saving every paycheck to reach 250k, and ten years after that to reach 1m, 14 years to just "maybe" escape the wagiecage. On the other hand I could get lucky in this altseason and reach 250k at least, if I invested that much, it should easily give me 1k each month, not much, but it would make job hunting for something better far less risky for me, at least I will not starve or go homeless, 1k only is enough for me to at least "survive" one month to another without begging my family for money.
I'm inanely risk averse. I just sit on the sidelines and watch you guys gamble. 35 now, only at 400k saved up. Should be over 500k just from missed index fund investing from holding too much cash at times. I don't know how to break this, but it could also be much worse.
>>59606966You should buy at least 3 BTC then diversify the rest.
>>59607282>just a casual 300kokay streetshitter
>>59607324Are you fucking retarded?He will double that money in a year at least
>>59597856Move will help me to make it
>>59603566i was referring to>then more recently I got into options and round tripped a make it stack back into my break even. some of us pre-programmed to not make itthat is dictionary definition gambling, yes, you were making educated guesses, but so do gamblers, i work at a casino, you will either accept my point, or you will be wrong.

>>59597890Nice photo, mind if I save it?
