Poor poor mintcoin and ultra coin believers...
Oh man, you mentioning ultracoin, a grief strucks me down whenever I see this name. I genuinely hate myself and my god damn luck... I sold my xbox 360 for 0.25btc to try to make some profit on that in crypto.
First I was playing a little bit with UTC at crypto-trade, just before it got hacked. Funds frozen for over one week as I can remember. When I got my btc back, I've run away from there, searching for some other exchange where I could invest. At this time UTC was down to 800sat? Something around that...
I was considering buying back in at mintpal, but hell no... That would make me a decent profit the very next day, but with my luck that obviously couldn't happen (being sarcastic here). Instead I used my not-pro trader insight, and went full in auroracoin during the $100 pump at Cryptsy, hoping to ride on the wave if it goes even further. It turned out I bought in at the peak, and didn't sold in time to cut my looses. I've lost 9/10 of my btc on that. Over one night, the same night I could have get x4 profit in UTC.
Then I made a pact with the devil and acquired additional 0.5btc and went all in UTC once again, at 21k sat, a day before it went live on Cryptsy. Pump was expected to happen, but there was none. However I became a ultracoin believer anyway. I even made a UTC video called Odyssey. I was holding for couple of weeks, being glad that the price was quite stable and at least I wasn't losing anything.
Then i found myself here, reading this thread, when BC was still at 3-4k sat. I fell into the hype, and said to myself "f*** it, to hell with utc..." and sold all of them at 1.9k to put my 0,5btc in to BC. That was my first wise decision so far! I did it just in time! The next day utc started crashing hard! We all can see where it is today...
Now I hold 10k BC which is worth almost 1btc. That's good. If it gets x10-20, I will buy myself a house
And I believe more than I did in UTC, that BC can accomplish it easily long term!
But the real shame on me is this - When BC was still at 500sat, and I did not yet bought my utc before it went on Cryptsy, I did came across this thread. I found the name BlackCoin quite cool, but... I didn't like the old logo. To me it looked cheap and I was thinking probably another shitcoin. So I went away, not even reading the op what this coin really is
Sorry guys for the off topic, but I had to put out my frustration somewhere... Moving along now.
