Introduce Yourself - Cryptocurrency Passionner
Hi guys, I’m Ethan, a software QC engineer, I'm living and working in Ho Chi Minh city. I work for a software company currently as a full-stack tester engineer.
I was interested in cryptocurrency from early 2017, but I haven’t fully entered the scene and bought my first crypto until December 2017. First, I bought Ethereum, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash. After that, as I learned more about the space, I started getting interested in XRP and other altcoins. Then as you know, the market was being downtrend time. I lost a lot. Then I have been in a bad time when I traded on Bitmex exchange, my account has been liquated so many time because of using big leverages, unmanaged risk, and portfolio and putting too much in one trade. I have to find a solution I first started to think. I stop day trade, starting learning TA, manage the asset. I have to find a solution I first started to think. The solution I found is to learn trading to get what I have lost back
I’m learning & starting to make it back. Life is tough, it’s not fair and learning how to survive and thrive has to be done with determination. Trading has existed for a very long time. It’s one way people chose to utilize their money. That’s freedom of choice. I’m excited to join the to forums/chats learn and share ideas with a bunch of other crypto nerds!
Most cryptocurrency forums/chats are cancerous and this seems to be like a positive place with good, smart people around… I’ll see you guys around!
Hello, Ethan, and Welcome to Steemit.
To begin, I'd just like to respond to your statement "I lost a lot." Because I too lost a lot, but those losses were (as they say) "wiped out" by later gains.
On the day I bought BTC a few years ago, the price had been rising and rising. I found a local BTC exchange and funded my account, and by the time I was ready to buy, the price was dropping. I waited a few hours, then bought.
The price kept dropping, and by the end of my very first day of holding my first cryptocurrency, I was down about 70%.
That was over 5 years ago. I have never traded any of that, and in fact realize that I should have bought much more after that first day.
Whatever, I have no regrets. Hope you don't either.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
I have no regrets about joining/buying cryptocurrency, the current market is downtrend, but cryptocurrency and blockchain technology still have a lot of potentials. But, I need to learn more about TA and how to manage my assets. Thanks for your advice, I just inserted funny picture which describes me :)
Cool. Love the images!
One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.
@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer
For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
Nice contest, I'm an amateur photographer, I will look back my photo collection and hope to find some interesting idea to join the contest. Thanks for your information
