💰I MADE MY FIRST BITTCOIN ON BITTREX ! Steemit made it possible =)) (Over 600USD in One Single Night !)💰
Hi Everybody !
I got started in Steemit like a year ago, but left for almost eight months until I had a little encounter with death. I ended up in the hospital and had a lot of time to think about a lot of things. One of these things was Steemit... what was from the platform? Where did everything go?...
When I discovered Bittrex I slowly moved that steem into it (before this the only thing I knew about the crypto world was Steemit) and slowly bought altcoins. A looot of different ones. But particularly one caught my attention... one that was released almost the same day I got staretd into the that market: MTL. Which had a cool project actually behind.
I started buying something like 50 steem on it (which if I wouldn t sell it back then now it would be something like 600 dollars D:)
Screenshot from last night
It didn't pass too much time until I saw the potential of this and put a big amount (at least for me) of my cryptos there. I started with something like 0,5BTC or less. But the slowly but sure raise of few alt-coins (but mostly MTL) Allowed me to start trading, selling, buying some of the coins. The more I had, the more I could win, and it finally happened ! The value of my cryptos just went up! It didn't just rise, it doubled!
I couldn't be more happy with this. Of course, I kinda lost on other cryptos since they went nothing but down since I bought them. But allow me to tell you something:
Set a price and don't move it even if you think it s gonna fail. Be patient and sometimes just wait for months if needed. In the end, the result will be magical and super satisfying.
Last night...

Even now I feel like I need to sell these, but I am just trying to be a cold bitch and see what comes next =).
Information is power, and this is the way I express my gratitude to you, by sharing knowledge and my experience.
That's a nice story anritco! Have you tried passive indexing crypto? Take a look at this strategy, you'll like it, it's close to what you have been doing already:

Congratulations. Now get that Bitcoin into cold storage. Someone already hacked into my Bittrex account. I have since re-secured it with a new password.

Actually it s how i started... but just after some time I realized that the fight was for be made at long term only... I would love to apply that strategy, but I don t really want to put so much time and effort to crypto-trading. I would love to, but honestly I am an artist, and artists have to get into their gig... practice practice practice!
I would love to have someone to do that for me, but well... no way :P
wow

Feed the government! Or was I looking for a different f word?
well done
Very well done @anritco!
I only wish I joined this platform sooner, but it's no big deal. I don't suffer from FOMO. :-)
Hahah not like me that I do :P !
No worries pal, this is still the beginning of it, it will take some years to get really, really big, but it will happen, you can count on that !
Haha! :P
Oh yes! We're just getting started!
This is very encouraging. I'm new to crypto trading - all of two months. Came in at near the `best time' towards the middle of July - when BTC and altcoins were undergoing a correction after the stupendous rise from early this year. I had started with Ethereum, Golem, Stratis and Zcash at Jaxx.
But even with the lower prices, I was making a paper loss of -33% after just a week! However, since I didn't plonk down all my capital at one time, I could average down the price. July 16-17 was the bottom. My paper loss got smaller and smaller until I was at breakeven. Then +25%. All within a week.
I then discovered Bittrex. My capital isn't that big - mostly money from stocks I had sold off at Bursa Malaysia, bought BTC and transferred to Bittrex. But I'm pleased to say that I had made some satisfying returns too over the past couple of months. Especially with big winners like Rise, Navcoin, PIVX and Ubiq.
At the moment, the cryptomarket is much, much better for me than the stock market or commodities. I hope things will continue like this for a while yet... until I make enough to have a decent retirement fund :)
Beautiful and encouraging story, I am really happy that you could take the crap out of it!
Sometimes we start small, but that doesn't mean that it will stay like that forever, you just have to keep constant and keep doing! That s my philosophy as well: this is not some money I am making for buying a car or some sht, this is for making a fair retirement plan as well, and until now so far it looks good. Let's keep doing and pushing!!
Crypto revolution happen once in human history ;)
hopefully we will be there for taking care of it ;)
I thought we are already... ;)
Hey cendana from malaysia! I'm from Malaysia too! If you invest in mid July, you should have decent ROI on ethereum and zcash! The price is pumping up day by day.. Too bad I didn't buy zcash yet. I'm thinking about ZRX and district0x, seems promising project to invest. What's your opinion on that?
tngflx, I was new and totally inexperienced in early July. There was no one to guide me. I wasn't too clear about "exchanges". Tried to register with Coinbase since I had read that it was "the biggest" or something. Then was met with that very disappointing "Sorry...not available in your country" :( Fortunately I discovered Bittrex through a discussion group somewhere. The prices are much better than at Jaxx with ShapeShift. Convenient, yes. But the ShapeShift transaction costs were rather high.
One mistake early on - I was approaching the cryptomarket like I do with Bursa Malaysia. 20-40% gain? "That's good enough"., and I sold those coins waaay too early. Felt like crying when they doubled after I sold :)
Yeah I'm using Luno now. And to beat transaction fee, check out my post :) https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@tngflx/how-to-save-money-from-bitcoin-tx-fee. I see... I'm still hodl until I earned at least 40% of profit :D I wish it will worth it for ethereum. But now everything drop again :( Time to shopping!
Ah, that post about saving money will be useful. I had felt rather wary yesterday morning, when BTC was very near $5,000. When many others are exuberant, I'm nervous. So I sent back a chunk of BTC to Luno, and sold for ringgit. Even paid the 1% taker fee because I didn't want to wait. Then BTC suffered a drop.
@thing-2 Wow! This is so nice of you! I definitely didn't expect anyone to upvote a sub-comment like this. Thank you. This is a very encouraging development in my very early days at Steemit.
0x... I've been thinking about it since a few days ago. Especially after watching the Hong Kong guy, Michael of Boxmining's video on it. He is one of the video creators I look up to. Very level-headed guy. ZRX... I'm not familiar. But will look it up.
I'm actually winding down a bit. Getting somewhat wary with these spikes of 100%-plus. I've made a few very good buys last month. Maybe I should just hold on and do nothing. But I don't have nerves of steel and I worry about the prices suddenly turning the other direction.
Me too man. I'm checking the price every morning LOLZ. But now I just think that it's a norm in cryptocurrency after almost 2 months of observing. I'm new to this field too.
By the way, sorry for my very small 0.01 upvotes. I don't know how to set a bigger sum. Very new to Steemit. I had transferred some STEEM to here, "powered up" but I'm not clear on how to change the sum etc. :)
@thing-2 just upvoted your comment. The upvote worth 0.69 dollar and he has 1k dollar in his steem account. That's approximately how much you should invest. But the upvote power is growing non linear. So you have to trial and error.
Just Hang on you have seen nothing yet. The Cryptos are going to do many amazing things over the next year or two. Thank You for sharing this story about your adventure thus far................STEEM On !!!
Oh yes! I honestly believe that ! this is why I am investing so much time and efforts to this, I believe we will do awesome @stokjockey ! The sky is the limit !!
nice one anritco! :P
Thanks buddy! I only thanks to buddies like you I made it possible!!
And now onto 2 Bitcoins!
It make a lot of sense to see people make gains in the crypto world, your life will continue to change for better, steemit is doing a lot of good to people's lives. Nice work you have done here.
Indeed, this seems like a great opportunity to develop yourself both economically and as a person into a community =)
Good job! Buy and hold and keep adding!
In crypto world if you invest in the coins you will be rewarded. But you to do some homework, research and research.
True story!
