Have about 1400 $degen to tip out today!
How'd everyone get into crypto? Will tip everyone who tells me their story!

Damn, out of degen for the day 😩 was enjoying reading everyone's stories

Well, I lost nearly half of my eth trading in 2020 lol

I sold my initial bitcoin purchase from 2017 at the bottom during the COVID crash... Lost out on 10s of thousands of $$$ because of impatience 😅 


100 $degen

In 2017 I was reading reddit and was dragged into the rabbithole. Aped into ETH, OMG, NEO and Request ("diversification" lmao), then wrote it all off when it crashed. Came back in 2020, turned ETH maxi and haven't left since

I can pay with my credit card and earn fidelity points now haha

I think a lot of people's Bitcoin beginnings were weed related 😅

100 $degen

Bought $100 worth of Bitcoin in an ATM in 2014 to try and buy weed on the darkweb.

Dealer never sent the weed and I lost the private key almost instantly after.

Finally understood the real value behind crypto in 2021 after I made some money with GME.

Thanks! I guess it depends on your perspective but I consider to be around for at least 1.5 cycles by my own measurements 😄

Are you a first cycler if you didn't buy the top?😅

Was interested in high risk high reward investing in 2018. Bought at the ATH. Somehow (thankfully) discovered r/ethfinance along the way after spending too much time in r/cryptocurrency

Yes, most people dismiss it as a scam when they first learn about it. It really takes a few years to understand that it's not a scam.

It took me a few years of monitoring bitcoin before I finally committed to buying back in 2017 as well!

I learned about Bitcoin in 2013 when I was deciding where to invest my small savings. I did not buy in at that time cuz I couldn't understand BTC. Fast forward a few years and my coworker was finally able to convince me to buy BTC.

Unless stated otherwise all photos I post were taken by me with my phone.

My friend told me he'd been buying something called 'ripple' and how it was "much cheaper than bitcoin". I opened an account and learned about other coins that were also 'cheaper than bitcoin' and bought them too before going all pretty much 100% ETH. Unfortunately for him he didn't.

Lmao I know that feeling, it’s worse  when it actually does well and they feel validated but lose big when it inevitably crashes. I suppose I don’t really have a leg to stand on when ETH isn’t doing great, but the technology! 100 $degen

My dad tried to shill me ripple back around that time - I knew it was a shit coin because it was coming from him, he knows nothing about crypto 😂

I’d been very aware of Bitcoin for a few years but didn’t buy any crypto until early 2019 when I found out my mate was invested, the first thing I bought was XRP 🤢 but I quickly swapped to ETH once I became more knowledgeable

I'm so sorry your entry into crypto was safemoon! 😅

100 $degen

Bro it was Pandemic and I have searched on YouTube on how to make money during the Pandemic. And YouTube showed me about those P2E and also Investing in Shitcoins like Safemoon.

Not many first timers get to buy the dip, they usually end up buying the top 😂 good job! 

I remember reading about bitcoin on Reddit around 2013, monitored it on and off for a few years and after a few more years when I started working i managed to save up and began to buy bitcoin in late 2017! 

100 $degen

My coworkers were trading it in the spring/summer of 2017, then in the fall “china banned Bitcoin” and there was a major dip where I finally decided to buy in… the rest is history!
