When I first heard about cryptocurrencies, it was Ripple that the guys were discussing. They encouraged me to get some and I registered on poloniex, funded my wallet and got some. His preaching was how XRP  was going to hit a dollar bill in a weeks time so he encouraged me to holdl. Little did I know about crypto so I was holdling. XRP did ×2 from my entry he still said holdl. I held for a long time and it dropped hard. The worst part was I panick sold and lost almost all my funds. After a while that I sold, the market started recovering but it was already late for me as I sold at a very big loss. I learnt the hard way.

My worst call in my crypto history is investing on coins I read on the internet then lately, I found out the coin I invested upon was just a pump and dump scheme and I suffered a great loss from it.

Hello everyone!

Out of curiosity, I wanted to ask you all, what was your worst call in your crypto history? Did you buy an ICO and it was a scam? Or did you think, that your market analysis is top notch, just to fall on your mouth hard? Share you story with me!

I will start. When i first got into crypto, it was around the time everything was peaking. I also checked coinmarkets a lot and i saw some huge day gain winners. I knew quite some things about BTC, a little bit about altcoins and i was ready to get into action. I thought i know everyhing needed for day trading... Except the most improtant part of day trading... Pump and dump... Sooo i saw this gigantic +1500% coin called RUPX... It was not stopping, doing +1800% and so on and i jsut wanted to get on that train. So i fastly authenticated my Coinbase and send in +/- 300$. By the time everything was ready for buy, RUPX already did like +3000% . Now you will most likely hit your head saying "what a frikin' noob" but i bought at that time. And boy, did it hurt just few minutes later when the Pump stopped... At one point, i was -95% on my investment and I was panicking quite a lot... But i did not sell and thankfully, i managed to get out with 220$ few weeks later and bought into BTS. In the end BTS managed to make me 2,5x profit. Anyhow, that was hard introduction into crypto trading universe!

So what about you? What is your story?
