Hi, I first got into crypto three years ago when I traded Bitcoin for weed. I didn't think anything more of it than that.
Then, approximately 18 months ago, we came into some money, and not wanting to flutter any more of it away, I began looking for something to invest it in. I did some research on stocks and it didn't seem like a good idea given the climate - aside from perhaps vaccine companies and IT. Property was another thing, but everything was/is so overblown, it just has to be a bubble.
It was then that I discovered crypto as an actual investment opportunity, and after some research, I joined EToro, bought a couple of interesting stocks along with some Ada and XRP. I'd of course done a little research by then.
After that, I did as much research as I could, in particular watching YouTube Influencer Guy from Coinbureau. After just a few episodes, I'd outgrown EToro and signed up at Binance. Binance is still my fiat exchange of choice.
After that, I diversified my portfolio and played around with trading - buy low, sell high. I learned that leveraging is dangerous and decided that I didn't want to go along that route. I learned later, that leveraging is how certain Billionaires manipulate the market, bringing about crashes. IMO, leveraging should be outlawed.
I have an extremely diverse portfolio. Along with Ada, XRP, Cosmos, Matic, Shib, Doge, BTC, AVAX, Polkadot, Vechain, etc, I have also invested a little in blockchain games, like Splinterlands, Gods Unchained, and Exode.
I'm a family man and an award-winning screenwriter.
