I believe my first one was Lite coin, there weren't a lot of available options when I first started buying on coinbase. It didn't take me long to find Steemit, that's when I started learning about a bunch of other coins.

@tbnfl4sun this shows that you have been on the crypto journey for a while now,keep up the great work sir...

I know right , I still remember telling to myself while collecting BTC from faucets , I wish there were more cryptos like this and then 2 years later bam there were millions of them lol .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, that's right, I forget about them stupid faucets. lol
I was getting the Doge on back then. I remember I quit them because I was afraid of the Taxman.

@tbnfl4sun though there are some legit faucets but most faucets are scam and just a waste of time.....

Lol I used to collect Doge too , I held it till recently and sold all 10k Doge when Elon pumped it lol .

My first one was BTC given that I didn't know much about the other ones. Its the father of all crypto and I bought it for a game online. Man the money I lost by spending it on a game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You live long enough and the "man the money I lost..." list keeps growing longer.
Guess it is part of live and learning.
I jumped on BTC because is was the big one. Then I got ETH and LTC not long after that.

Yea the people who used HIVE to buy things in dollars are probably hitting them selves right now too. Imagine what would happen when you regret because HIVE would be worth 5-10x what it was when you used it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly. It is also why I dont think these things will be used for commerce, at least until they settle down on the speculation.
Hive certainly has a 10X in it, easily. If we get a few developments going, it can go much higher.
That is the wonderful thing about crypto, things can moon very quickly once they start.

My first one was Steem, but for sure I had to buy btc first to buy it...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Woah really ? Did you get into crypto world through steem ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, exactly!
Started with 3 years of losses, turned around last year...
Damn seems like you invested in STEEM when it was during its peak ( I did too but not huge amount of money ) . Did you invest when it was more than 5$ ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Somewhere around there...
fortunately the Hive hardfork and LEO got my investment of around 8000 € back in balance....
That's really good to hear , right now you are in profits then . I feel sorry for all the time lost in just breaking-even :(
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
At least I had voting power and learnt how to blog ;)
That just goes to show, even if you buy at the top, if you stick with it, you can make your money back no matter what the loss.
We have a great situation since buying Hive now will not result in a 95% loss.

BTC, ETH and RUNE
Those were the first coins I bought. Bought all them on the same day but I believe BTC was the very first.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Obviously the RUNE is a recent acquisition.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't followed RUNE from the beginning to be honest but I see many talking about it , do you suggest me to buy it ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I havent got any. Khal and some others are extremely high on it.
Not sure what Thorchain is all about since I havent researched it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh okay we both are on the same boat then
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For how long have you been in crypto ? Recently ? Asking because you mentioned RUNE .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I started this year hehehe
I knew about it already, but I was a "non-believer" :P
It was only after I joined Hive that I started to see it for what it really is and decided to get on board
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol , that is good to hear actually . Hive changed your perception of cryptocurrency . When I was new to Hive I was lost , I knew about BTC from 2013 but I didn't know crypto world was so huge .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, the exact same thing happened to me. Hive definitely opened my eyes to all the opportunities of blockchain and crypto
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As @taskmaster4450le often says , Hive and Leo will change so many lives :)
I am one among them .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am too.

It was from faucets and it was BTC .
But I was involved with a project which had a token named CoExist coin ( which doesn't exist anymore ) who tried to provide food and water to people who need it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
my first purchase was bitcoin because I wanted to buy steem :) Bought 100 steem for a little more than $100 dollars in 2017
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I started buying STEEM at $1.30 so I know where you are coming from. Even had one purchase go through at $2.
Thought it was a bargain when I was able to buy for 80 cents...then 50 cents...then 25...
Well you know the story.
