I can appreciate the openness and sincerity that you put into this post. And don't worry, many of us have FOMO'd into coins without doing enough research. I hope that you'll hodl for the long-term now after seeing what happened on that dip. If you don't sell your coins.. then you can't take a loss. :)

And that's one thing I love about Steemit. There's not risk... at all. Unless you're betting the farm on Steem to go up and you purchase more than you can afford in SP lol.
