Time is on our side, yes it is!
For me the first one was LTC and I wish I was smart enough to hole on to them before the price jumped up to it more current positions.

Got stuck with some useless shitcoins. I want to dump them for bitcoins, but not unless they go up to a higher price than I was stupid enough to pay for them.

which coins?

Heard about btc, investigated in cryptos, invested in doge, sold doge to btc, realized how douche-like the btc community is and am now happily back with doge Smiley

let's make a deal.
started out litecoin mining, but now mostly in bitcoin.  was more familliar with GPU technology than asic, so i bought tech i knew best how to operate, calculate break even, and resell.

I am wondering whether altcoins, attract people to get invoked with cryptocurrencies and whether people once they became interested in cryptocurrencies because of an altcoin now also own bitcoin

For me, it was the other way around. I first became involved in Bitcoin and then discovered altcoins.

my first cryptocurrency was bitcoin, but I stopped mining them after ASICS came out, I did have a pre-order for 2 ASICS devices from BFL, but luckily I was able to cancel my pre-order and get my money back, because they were not up to specifications as advertised during the pre-order.

I then sold all the bitcoins I had mined and lost interest in bitcoin.

But then on youtube, where I been following Bill Still, I heard about quark and this lead me back to this forum and then I started mining scrybe coins and quark and now I am a bitcoin holder again and im not selling them.

anyone have a similar experience ?
