I hate this but I'm scared to pull everything out and go about my life because crypto is also virtually my only chance at ever making it.

>hurrdurr guys im bad at crypto Youre not bad at crypto, you're just an indecisive lil puss puss
Adrian Brooks
oh shit user, just hold omisego. that's one of the alts that I think is basically a guarantee at some point. omise already exists.
Nathan Moore
Yes, that's bad at trading crypto. Everyone else who started when I did went on to make a sizable amount of money, I'll probably never see a 6 figure sum in my life.
Benjamin Moore
if you started in 2016 then yeah you're pretty bad at trading if you only have 25k
Julian Myers
>started 2 weeks ago with $1000 >$45000
It's ok OP, your time will come.
Zachary Brown
No it won't I've been cursed to remain at $20k-$25k no matter whether I trade or hold
Next person to get triples decides what I do with my portfolio
Alexander Richardson
It sounds like your "fear of losing everything" is bigger than your "desire to keep growing". I had this problem in the past and I'm currently going through it right now as well. When your obsession with a number goal is reached, you dont want to ever dip below past that number. It sounds like that number is $20k-25k, In due time, you'll decide that you're ready to take the risk to increase your stack.

Daniel White
I wanna know your calls on that one. I'm impressed.
Jack Garcia
I started with $500 in may and gradually added more. I have invested a total of $1100 and am currently at $700. I am the biggest loser on Veeky Forums, no doubt. Every coin I touch stagnates or flash crashes, and every coin I sell moons. That's just how it goes for me.
Sebastian Brooks
Don't give up. Holding is unironically the best thing you can do, especially if you have any of that fiat tied up in Top 10 coins (preferably ETH, BTC). Take a few weeks off and either avoid anything crypto or start learning about crypto + trading, then check on your wallet after 5-6 weeks.
Jack Hughes
I need to take greater risks because I'm poor. I could hold top 10 coins and perhaps have $5k-$10k at the end of 2018, but that isn't enough.
Nathaniel Mitchell
pls be my gf ur so cute

Just holding ETH until Jan 2018 can't hurt you. Seriously. Take the 5 weeks to stop daytrading, and learn how to hold.
Brayden Bennett
whats wrong with OMG
Isaiah Taylor
2018 is going to be the biggest year for crypto yet. 2019 or perhaps 2020 is when the market is going to crash with no survivors, but dotcom bubble style will rebuild itself. anyone that gets in now will never have to work a real job in their life.
Noah Taylor
back the fuck off!?
hi...
Henry Evans
im pretty bad. Got rid of my antshare before it went full retard and rebranded as neo. Got rid of my BTC when it was $3k right before the fork. So yea.
Justin Moore
I held LTC for two months before selling it at $70 for ETP. Then ETP flash crashed and LTC mooned. I know how to hold; I've been bagholding ETP since. I only now sold it for BTC because I know it's not going to move until January.
Robert Jenkins
Nothing and I still have hope for it. But holding OMG is what made me miss out on a LOT of money. After the market got real slow and OMG went down to $7 or so it got so depressing I stopped bothering to look at the prices of anything for a long time.
Now that everything is so expensive it'll be hard to ever make a lot.
Isaac Butler
I could've made $1 million off of the Verge pump if I didn't sell it back in the summer. Don't wanna hear it.
Jeremiah Long
nah im pretty bad too, and ive set up so many great trades only to bail out of them later on before they go interstellar
put in 2k in june and now its worth over 40k, but ive fucked up so many times on the way its embarrassing
