Hi!

Some of you already know my story with the 2 BTC accounts I had in 2013.
I won't #declass that info anymore.

Now here is 1 (her)story dedicated to the new LernBlogs front-end to LeoFinance and to Hive per total.
As realities are just territories of a map I want to say that this story might be true or not. And that's not even important. Don't we like Korzybski, @logiczombie?

Get your backpack and your boots like @galenkp and let's start!

🎇 This year, I made the crypto plunge.

I’ve known about bitcoin since 2013, but was never interested in investing in it since I found 2 ways of getting it without any investment at that point.

To me, a game with high-risk/high-reward is not one that I like to play when there are other games that have almost zero risk and massive reward.

To me crypto was (and still is!) too volatile. But that doesn't scare me. It just makes me change the approach.

So why did I recently buy crypto then?

A business associate of mine who I have worked with off and on over the last 7 years came to me and showed me what he was doing with crypto and how he and others believe that their strategy is good.
It took me 2 months of research to actually trust their method, several hours watching their closed webinars, and long Telegram talks.

And it was different.

I’m not a fan of trying to time a market, to buy low and sell high. I’m also nonplussed by all the supposed crypto experts who - thought they’ve made millions - have an approach that seems more akin to coin-flipping than sound strategy.

What attracted me to this different approach was that it didn’t try to predict if a crypto coin was going to go up or down… it just predicts that the coin will be volatile - meaning prone to going up and down like a rollercoaster.

So I put some money into a few various cryptos just to see what would happen.

And in less than 40 days, I’ve nearly doubled my investment!

I have two exciting insights from this.

First, one of the coins I trade went down 42% in value - yet I made 18.96% profit from it:

And no, I didn’t “short” it, “put” it, or anything like that.

Second, I got to experience my first crypto crash. And thrived during it.

That’s because this system works best due to volatility.

Now the embarrassing part.

I did a poor job of following advice.

I set it up as instructed, but I didn’t follow through. There were so many opportunities that were presented that I didn’t act on, even though I was told in plain terms exactly what to do.

I could've more than doubled that the sum that I managed to do, but alas life interrupted. I took some time off to rest and rejuvenate. Some days I didn’t even look at any of the texts of communication my friend was giving me to guide me more. I've just sent him my full gratitude!

But I’m okay with that. I don’t want another full-time job. I just like the fact that as long as crypto remains volatile (which it will!), this system just works its magic.

I wish I'd know more about your stories of diversification regarding your crypto portfolio. Or about your latest crypto achievements.
