Your cryptocurrency investment journey doesn't sound bad. Talking of Ice coin, you didn't invest in it, you accumulated it through everyday mining. I also did that and i made about $40 from it. There's something we need to know about this mining of a thing.

When a mining projects is distributed into our wallet like ice did, we shouldn't expect the price to keep going higher because everybody will want to sell and take their Money out. When this happens the price value of that token will drop.

I'm happy you recover your losses through your ETH coin investment.
