To those of you who are in the red, sorry not sorry. You gotta pay your dues in blood. Failure is the key to success. Learn from your mistakes and be ready for next time.
Luke Price
...why the fuck did you sell before the next bull was going to start within a few weeks?
Isaiah Kelly

Ethan Edwards
What would you do now if you were just starting? Buy bitcoin and ltc?
Adam Cooper
>get a real job like an adult Never gonna make it.
Nathan Cox

Ethan Sanchez
Hope this is a larp otherwise you're a retard.
Ian Martinez
you are such a faggot OP and will be kicking yourself for quitting soon
Levi Garcia
this youre a fuckin moron OP, i would've thought a fellow 2013er should know better
Mason Lee
Fool, should've waited until at least early next year. It's going to rally hard as fuck and you'd double your money or more.
Dominic Hill
>ITT people who are jealous as fuck and hating
Comgrats OP, i only have 7k right now
Liam Kelly
why would i be jealous of someone with less money than myself
Gavin Hall
Good for you op. Enjoy it! Top kek, >no crypto isn't a cult
Logan Lee
>ITT: armchair financial analysts with the power of hindsight
You did good OP lmao at at these salty neets
Lucas Perry
Congrats bro. 200k is enough to have a pretty nice life.
Jayden Johnson
>FBI seizes half my money on BTC-e >get money back from FBI debacle If you're in the US, you're going to just end up giving that money to the IRS instead

Sebastian Sullivan
>thinking the fbi would ever give the money back in the first place
Wyatt Lopez
it can barely buy you a house in a developing city you mongoloid >You did good OP lmao at at these salty neets neets are the ones who are cheering this guy on, the ones disgracing him actually know what they are talking about >FBI seizes half my money on BTC-e
>2017 >still trading on btc-e you brought this upon yourself man
Justin Turner
everyone that used btc-e was affected, The Russian community was in an uproar.
Colton Young
>sell after a huge drop >brag about it on the Internet
Logan Sanders
Yeah the money was in much better hands with btc-e than if FBI actually got it. they obviously ran a very secure operation to be able to resume trading a month and half later with people getting 70 percent of coins back immediately.
Aaron Jackson
I think everyone got everything back in the end, except the people that took the token offer.
Matthew Russell
t. salty neet
Asher Fisher
Not my fault you need hundreds of thousands just to feel anything resembling happiness. I get by on 40k in crypto + my regular job and live like a king.
Oliver Phillips
I know youre larping but dude... Taking profit at 200k is dumb. Never cash out 100%.
Brandon Collins
Ignore the haters OP You did well, and came out on top with a large profit. That's what matters in the end. How much did you put in total into cryptos?
Michael Long
It's not that 200k isn't enough to cash out... it's that btc is going to triple within the next few fucking months that's relevant.
Nicholas Martinez
Or he's larping. Ever think of that?
Juan Wilson
Enjoy it OP. There is a cult of never cashing out till crypto becomes the defacto standard, but if you're gonna use that 200k to make MONEY money, all the power to you. If you'll just waste it like a dumb normie, then youve made a horrible decision
Ryan Foster
OP give us the real timeline, i feel like the truth splits off in april....
Eli Edwards
No everyone got a haircut of their coins but will be made up by the tokens appreciating in value.
so if you had 1 bitcoin when the exchange went down and waited until their new website wex.nz opened up you'd have .7btc and .3btct
you can withdraw the .7btc right away and right now the tokens are worth about half their true coin value so probably in a couple weeks/months people will be able to get their full value back.
for the last 2 weeks before wex.nz opened they were letting people withdraw 55 percent of coins right away if they were willing to forfeit the other 45 percent. Thats why for the people who waited the ratio ended up being more like 70/30
Matthew Gonzalez
I couldn't get all the money back until yesterday
~$26k
Tyler Price
Buy LTC, about $300 now. It's enough to stay interested, but not enough to an hero if it goes awry.
Play with shitcoins for a bit with about $100. Again, enough to care, but enough that it's not going to kill you. Think of it as learning a Casino game.
Dump money from each paycheck into LTC or ETH like a savings account.
