$1,000,000 DOLLARS - MY JOURNEY - PART #1

in #steem8 years ago

My aim is simple. To reach 1 million dollars (or to be more accurate £1,000,000 [$1.29m] as I live in the UK). I don't know when but I do know how and that's cryptocurrency. This is my objective. It may not happen or it might but I've decided I'm going to take you all along on my journey.

I intend to post daily updates on profit/loss, portfolio held and my humble predictions and thoughts. I'm not posting this so you can follow what I'm doing but that's up to you. This is my diary, my journey and will chronicle my passion.

My journey so far...

On the 30th March 2017 I bought my first Bitcoin for £870 ($1040). See my entry point marked in green below:

This is how it all began. What made me take the plunge? Well I admit now to have never heard of Bitcoin or any other digital currency for that matter until this day. Somehow or other I stumbled across some Youtube videos that peaked my attention and I thought it was worth a chance especially when I had a look at the chart. I had been using technical analysis trading Betfair sports exchange for a number of years and I could recognize it just so happened to be a great buy opportunity (cup and handle pattern). I quickly signed up to Localbitcoins.com and bought my first Bitcoin. Since then I've immersed myself in the world of cyrptocurrency and have been applying my technical analysis skills to good effect.

My current profit and loss as of 05/23/2017

exciting i will be following ! I have some big goals now to with crypto and steem I think we will all see some great rewards for being the few jumping in early. I think crypto is gonna absolutely take over the planet

"I think crypto is gonna absolutely take over the planet" - i 100% agree - when i see a bank vault on tv and hold paper money - it already feels old fashioned to me. Not to mention the economic uncertainty.

Hi mate, we are in the same boat. I have actually started after you, on May 9th. Unfortunately at that time BTC was already around 1600$. At the moment I am putting most of my hopes (and money) on Ethereum and so far, it is giving me good satisfactions. I am around 50% in earning (also considering the f****ing high fees to deposit money). My idea is to buy some other ETH, some other BTC (although in this moment is difficult to take the decision to buy BTC considering how it costs), Steem and also I am having a look at some other AltCoin (like Solarcoin, NEM, Game... but I am still looking around). I am also following you, maybe you want to keep an eye as well on my profile to see who reach the target first. And I am from the UK as well ;)

I'll be watching with great interest. Congratulations for even being invested. 99% of people have never even heard of it...yet.

Am surprised why there's not much people who have heard of BTC in London. Ive only have one at work though from her bf.

I believe that there are 2 reasons:

  1. People don't like to invest in things that they don't know. And crypto currency is still something that is "unknown"
  2. People don't like to share remunerative ideas. If they have BTC they don't talk about it around (don't understand why)
    PS. Imma I am following you now. Maybe one day we may organise a Steemers beer (still looking for a Londoners on here)

Sure. I can understand if investing in risky stuff arent talked much..but BTC in 2015 was a sure money already. Anyway, if that's how it was , it is still.

Thanks @yarnia2014. I have to say that I wanted to do it since long ago (maybe one year), but I have always been both lazy and wary. Finally I have taken the decision and you can't imagine how I am regretting I didn't do it earlier :/

I'm around 75% up with my very meager investment of 80ish USD. With crypto blowing up I wouldn't be surprised if even I reached a million! haha good luck, might wanna look into Verge as well (cheap coin with sizeable volume)

Thanks. I noticed Verge was increasing rapidly when BitBean was over last week or so. I'll have a look into it cheers.

good luck to you mate hope you get there .

Cheers

You set yourself a nice goal. I have a similar goal. Made some nice profits the last few months with BTS, STEEM and DGB.
I hold LTC for a while now and I think this one has not even began to move. I also invest a lot in PIVX right now. I believe this one will make some big moves. The price is very good right now.
I will follow to see how you proceed. Good luck! :-)

Thanks. Pivx is interesting with it being a fork of dash and has a low amount of coins in circulation. Could be massively undervalued.

cool:) I follow you now

Goodluck

Congratulations on perseverance, guy! It is a bold and very capable goal! Along the way you will be able to tailor your portfolio! It varies from style to style, you put eggs in several baskets, the amount of eggs if it is small, it may take longer, the coins you have chosen, have incredible potential, nice!

yes I have chosen based n my own preference having researched a lot of coins. Thanks for the advice on tailoring.

i believe crypto world will give you one million, so many people already got that..can you imagine how rich early adopter of bitcoin, or maybe people who bought ethereum on ICO, they got very big profit..

exactly and crypto is still very small and unknown to most people.
