I also got to know crypto in 2017 but paused in 2018 due to my offline work
I honestly regret not continuing to invest in crypto as long as I focus on working offline
now I will not leave crypto anymore because this is an investment of the future
if anyone says that crypto won't last long then that person is a living idiot
That's a shame, I can tell you one better, I have been around since 2013 and I haven't invested big into bitcoin, and the worst part, all the ones I invested ended up selling after getting a good return but not great ones.
I remember buying at 150 bucks, selling at 400 or so, I remember buying at 3k and selling at 10k as soon as it was reached, I finally got wiser and bought at 6k or so last march, and what did I do? I spent it on a project and now have nearly nothing (paid my debts at least).
I could have been a multi millionaire easily if I just kept all my bitcoins to myself, it is really hard to do so when you have to live a life and spend it on life stuff but it was a brilliant moment to get into bitcoin and wait, if I kept every single coin I made and sold them at 64k I would have 16 million dollars now, what do I have instead? Just a few years of being full-time crypto and that's it, sure I lived a life, paid bills, covered hospital visits, all that, didn't earned a single dollar fiat and never went to work all of that is awesome but comparing 5 years of decent life versus 16 million dollars hurts a lot.
