I appreciate being the opposite of this story. Bought into an ICO five years ago, forgot about it, remembered early last year, diversified into more tokens but had a feeling to pull out when BTC was $18k. Sold 95% of my entire portfolio.
- GreeniFi 8y agoJust out of curiosity, how does it make you feel knowing your gains were at the expense of not very fortunate or rich people losing out around the world - unprotected because of the newness of the “investment” type - by investment laws. I made a modest return on a bitcoin investment, felt shit about it, and donated all the return to charity.

- GreeniFi 8y agoYou’re right, no-one got their guns out. But that isn’t how confidence tricks tend to work. I think the reality for a lot of the losers -globally - is that they were kind of desperate, desperate enough to believe that there was some immediate answer to their cash needs. I started off believing in the crypto dream, but last year started to realise it was not what I thought it was.
