Its that time of the year when while theres a select group of people euphoric, there are conversely another group of people who are in full cope and regret mode….and that includes me.
Its time to share your biggest crypto blunders. Whether its stolen crypto, lost in a trade, sold too early, etc…Let it out here and suffer with your bros.
I’ll start:
I got into crypto in 2017 as literally the entire top 50 was starting to run (IIRC ETH to $50-70). My trade thesis was simple: “what hasnt pumped yet?” did about a days worth of research and subsequently dumped $20k into XRP. First got in about $10k in at 0.006 cents and it pumped to like 7cents a week later. Bought another $10k on the retrace back to 2.5cents.
Held thru the 2018 short lived pumped to $3. Didnt sell a penny. Blockfolio said $6mm.
Held thru all the way until SEC sued Ripple and that shook me to the core. Couldnt hodl after that and sold. I still came out in significant profit from my initial capital. Took a few hundred $k’s out over a few months, put back into BTC and ETH before the 2021 run up.
Somehow made it back to $2.5mm. Held. Lost mostly all of it on the dump into bear market.
Started the current cycle with very few wins. Started dabbling in shit coins, memes, etc… Long story short, im down to 4-figures in crypto. While i got way more out of the market than what I put in, its still devastating.
How much would I have if I just held XRP until today? $8mm. Thats beyond life changing for me. I would’ve changed lives of not only my immediate family but many relatives and very close friends.
Yes, it fucking hurts.
Your turn! Dont be shy! 🙈 😃
