THE RIVERS ARE RED

Let me start by saying there is never a dull day in crypto land

That being said I wouldn't have it any other way hahaha!

I've heard about (enter crypto currency here) on and off since it's inception, but like most was sceptical about it's origins and necessity of it's use case. I've always been an avid investor and have had dreams of playing the stock market with small gains and big lessons along the way.

What held me back is how boring it all seemed to be. The only exciting bit seemed to be withdrawing that lump sum when i got it right. Then (enter crypto currency here) came along and changed the game in terms of the learning curve, now everything seems to be an exciting learning experience and a chance to hone my skills and strategy. What seemed to be boring Technical Analysis, Charts, Candlesticks, white papers, green papers, blue papers lol. (you get the gist) Now it don't seem so tedious, I can see the picture clearer and also how what i'm learning could be transferred over to traditional markets and investment opportunities.

Now the reason for the pic ;)

2017 was an eventful year to say the least!!! which this article from Coindesk outlines.

A lot of new money entered the market some experienced and some inexperienced with the latter finding out the hard way, why following blindly is not a wise investment strategy. Words like fomo, fud and dyor come to mind when thinking about the cryptoverse and how a lot of it was disregarded when the promise of high returns were shining bright in the eyes of the new investors. Now i'm no guru and i'm sure i got a couple pints in that red river Lmao. But and it's a big BUT seeing greens and then reds and the yoyo of emotions you go through witnessing all of this i've never been so excited, like i mentioned before i see this whole experience as a massive learning curve and even more so a massive opportunity to position myself in something that i'm actively helping to build.

Crypto is here to stay
A lot of weak hands are out of the game (to return or not to return)
2018 is going to be another interesting year
I'm in the fields

2018 till infinity
Regards
