I’m low key thankful I did my time in blood during the 2017-2018 Bull then bear run. I’m seeing so many stupid things, scams, and idiots in this space that haven’t even taken the time to be informed. It’s going to get and be ugly out here for a while.
Definitely.
I also can't say I wasn't someone trying to chase the next big thing, as I did go into OMG in the summer, and thankfully it did well or I may have just been throwing money all around and losing it. Going from hundreds, to thousands, to hundreds of thousands felt great. However, when mid-late 2018 game around, the markets smacked all of us newcomers with a big dose of reality. I Lost probably about 80-90% of my portfolios value by November 2018 from what it was at in January 2018.
I held and held some more, and as of now, it's paid off more than I ever could have imagined. However, I know this market can go down ten times quicker than it goes up, and I have to be prepared for that.
