Hello All,
I didn't know if I had to start this because obviously for know I'm some kinda loser.
Yes it was in late October 2017 that I step into crypto. Guess what I first heard it with the silkroad news I think it was in 2013. at that time when I read the news I thought :"oh ok so now Bitcoin is going to zero as for me it was a big player in the silkroad thing".
You all know the next episodes of it.
Then in 2015 I once again give it a (so small) try.... I mean I spoke about it with my Cousin in Toronto, it was July 2015. He's a smart guy that works in the field of computer writting code and debugging for government in Ontario and now for a private company.
guess what the discuss only last maybe 2 minutes (what a couple of morons we were).... Then he Told me to watch the TV show : Mr Robot. It takes me 1 year to give it a try and by the way I think I should start it all over again as the story was a bit hard for me to understand.
in mid 2017 around august as I was watching the show, the "E-coin" from the show was continuing resonate in my head... and calling me to go due (finally) some research on Bitcoin.
As I was reading that I thought that's it I have to buy some ! let's give it a try !
so september and october was the quest for the good exchange for my situation (EU resident with SEPA transfer and no transfer fees)
mid october I got it , it gonna be Kraken (takes something like 15 days to set it up all)
so I start with a small amount to see how transfer goes (200€) and buy my first BTC and (that's the wrong part some Alts).
My mouth was in BTC but these Alts are so cheaper compare to BTC maybe they can go very high too ! (yes you probably heard that too in your head)
so I put more money on it : 800€ this is early november (yes the price is going up and up ....
and then obviously I buy a bit of BTC and as I'm still learning the bad way, I bought some Alts again !
As I'm a rookie I made some good moves (lick) that as usuall for noobs turn later a bad move...
this put us in early December ......

if you want more of this story (real) tell me and I will continue to until the present day ... and then I will update it to stay in touch with you. I can answer some question too and give more details if your want.
