This is my story/rant which I know many of you will be able to relate to,
The time was January of 2018. When my inner noob thought it was a great time to start buying new coins.. BTC was wayyyy up. I told myself "dont follow the hype" as I was clearly following the hype. My biggest purchase was Dragonchain, when I bought at $4.50. Secondly, WaltonChain. I have always been a huge believer, and still am, but this was a coin I purchased way high, at $33. SophiaTX, nearly 90% drop from initial entry. There are many, many more, but these had been my biggest holdings which brought my biggest losses.
The worst part of this is my girlfriend's dad, who is an actual investment advisor. I told him he should enter cryptocurrencies in december of 2017, because FIAT is not going anywhere and crypto is the future.
Moral of my story,
don't be a noob like me :)
