All good! Simple misunderstanding. I know I'm not invested.. and that is what is making me worried haha. I definitely got lucky with some of my decisions. I mean, I felt good about the projects I traded into, but that was ignorant confidence. I can't tell one whitepaper from the next and half the time I was sure it was a project that just sounded good to gullible people like myself. Watching it rise and rise was a shocker; like how did I do this right?
So that was what I was trying to say. I've become accidentally invested. "Accidentally"; although it was exactly what I was hoping for. I just didn't think it would happen. So now, I'm trying to be real smart and careful about how to use that in the smartest way possible. I don't feel totally confident; but I wasn't either when I started turning a few hundred STEEM coins into the portfolio I have now. So maybe I should be a little more confident in myself and my decisions!
In the end, it's always uncertain before you know what the outcome is. Stuff looks good on paper and it still doesn't show in the value at times. While sometimes shit you wouldn't ever think would make it goes sky high all of a sudden. Seems like you've put some thought in it, watch out for a confirmation bias and becoming overconfident though! Past results are no guarantee it will repeat. Especially since you mention it was a shocker to you and aren't sure why you got the results that you did..
