@gigafart You sir now have a new follower. I've only started going in the crypto markets about a couple of months ago, and I am here for the long game. I know nobody will get rich over night, so neither will I, but at least I know I'm sacrificing a bit of "fun" and "spoiling myself less" now, so I can secure myself for the future. I've also poured almost all of my savings into cryptos, right now I'm bleeding money due to the crashes we've been seeing in the last couple of weeks, including today, but I won't sell anything, I will keep on to my coins as they are gold - because they are.
I am glad to see things worked out for you! Good luck in your future plans!
Take comfort that SP and blogging earns you money. The vast majority of other coins don't offer anything but a dream. How many of these coins/icos are going to survive?
