From Game Trading to Crypto Trading!
Gaming to Crypto Trading?
How I went from MMORPG to Crypto Trading?
In my early years I got introduced to MMORPGs at first it was Ultima Online and later on I moved over to City of Heroes and after that of course into World of Warcraft. Now most people play World of Warcraft to raid and to PvP. I am not different I love to raid and to PvP in the MMORPG world, however another factor really caught my attention and that is the Auction House.
Auction House addiction was born!
When I discovered the auction house I went grinding for certain items that were selling well, at the time it was Wool Cloth (This was back in 2004) and I was selling that on the Auction House. After a while I noticed something in the price and that is the fluctuation in it. I was hooked to that, I decided that I didn't need to grind anymore, I literally started writing the prices of Wool Cloth down in a document. After a while of collecting information I found out the average price, so whenever it was below the average price I would buy it up and re-list it for either average or a little more gold. Now a days there are great addons such as TSM (Trade Skill Master) that basically does all of this for you. It knows all the information about the item and it's price history.
Tera
Another MMORPG I was hooked to later on was Tera, I played on the Ishara (EU) server known as Ritsu. On this game I was always shouting in the general chat in order to buy the cash shop type of items that would sell for double on the auction house. It was so easy, you simply met up with the people in-game and bought their items and would list it on the auction house for sometimes nearly double the price. I turned into one of the richest players on the server. Together with one other dude we were controlling the market on certain cash shop items. We would not undercut each other and made agreements to make the most out of it.
Passion for trading
Thanks to all these MMORPG experiences with auction houses I got hooked into buying and selling for a profit. This has definitely helped me with crypto trading, because if you are passionate about something you are going for it 100%. In the start of any trading career, whether it'd be in the crypto market, forex or stock market everyone will first make some losses. However if you are passionate about what you're doing then it's okay to make some losses, because you know that in the long term you will come out on top.
You have completed a process that is really typical especially for crypto traders :) welcome to the fun world :D
