Damn lost my ass today!

Yeah that's right I admit it. Its a hard one to swallow to after killing it the past few weeks. Sticking to my guidelines being disiplined buying low and selling high and making really good returns on my minimal investments. As I'm on a tight budget. With my two years old daughter and wife that well ain't much of a saver. LoL Needless to say I don't get to throw near as much in the crypto wallet as I'd like to. But up untill last night had been mostly wins with a few just got my money back but pretty good over all. Well a few days back when Litecoin made it's big run I a few lite coins and sold a few of my other altcoins to purchase a few more. Well everything went well. I made some extra cash. Even though I jumped in on some on it's way up around 140 still did pretty good and more than doubled my money. Well better than doubled on the few I had been sitting on for a while. Well after feeling that rush of seeing my money doubling and tripling on the Litecoin run up I was high. What a rush man! Like my favorite football team but with money. Well after words I felt like I had the hot hand as I had other crypto coins and they was doing ok to.so I took some profit stacked up a little Bitcoin and decided I was gonna take all my profit and Chase that high again. Well I messed up and went to sleep about 5 am this morning and slept till say 11am and keep in mind sleep is my worst enemy because apparently after selling off all my ripple late last night happy with the gains I had at the time. I had woke up to see ripple xrp at around 92 cent. I couldn't believe it I could have doubled my ripple just by leaving last night like the last thing I did before I finally passed out. Really like? Wtf! So I'm emotional at this point so I take all my profit and stick it in ripple. Three seconds later it dropped. As has three other coins I had bought. All because I bought on the way up went against my own rule and bought the news basically. Instead of buying love and saying high. Now I'm paying a valuable lesson one I've preached to everyone I've helped get into crypto as the number one rule for yourself. Don't get emotional and dont buy on the way up even if it's a little dip I always buy on a dip. I played with fire and got burned bad I still have my original investment a little more. But I practically lost everything I have gained in the past five or six weeks all in one day. Well just wanted to confess to yaw anyway can't bring myself to admit that to anyone face to face like my wife or the people I I helped get into crypto and are playing and winning by what I taught them. And now I'm starting back at baby steps one. Just needed to get that off my chest. Lol but thanks for listening. Steemit baby!

Sort:  

I'm very new to it, currently floating around my original investment but I, like you cashed out of ripple too soon, bought litecoin/ethereum at the wrong time - sold ethereum too early lol. It's just the way it goes :D

Yeah what a bummer been doing good buying the good ones I had done my homework on decided they were the ones I was buying and holding and that was it then end up chasing and go bust lol but I tell ya experience was priceless because I learned excactly what not to do ever again do not chase a rocket once it has already launched cause that flame will burn out and in my case was always just as soon as I bought it. Gotta stick to my rules of engagement lol best of luck to ya buddy
