As a former NEM stakeholder who owned >2400000 XEM 3 years ago and with only 0.5BTC profit which seemed a lot at the time... I have to agree...
You must have earned millions when NEM finally grew instantly last 3 months along with ripples. Tokens that were considered shit years ago actually grew with outstanding value. RISE token was close to zero but right now is almost $0.10, if you have kept millions when its almost zero you could profit no sweat.
No I didn't. I could have bought a big house if I didn't sell them. I'm the master of spotting really good ICO's and selling them too early on. I was there in the beginning of:
NXT (bought at 700sats when BTC was around $500)
NEM (XEM): stakeholder and sold for a couple of hundreds $ (I bought 2400000 XEM for $8 ffs...)
LSK: had thousands, sold for couple of hundreds $
RISE: sold at 2x ICO price, now it's going to the roof
ETH: bought hundreds for $3, sold them at $12
So I'm quite the catch for following my ICO buys, just don't sell when I sell.
Now I'm an AMMO (and soon mobile go & exscudo) stakeholder. I will put my wallet + info on a usb-stick, give it to my wife and tell her: "no matter what I say, don't return it to me until 2020"
Don't worry I got laughed at when I placed my exscudo account for 15 btc in a trading thread, because "due to the multiplier its worth nothing".
It's like we shall see I got laughed at about owning ripple last year lets see what happens, the roadmap for this coin makes the coin valuable. And if it ever becomes huge, the tx fee's earned by holding a node or 4 in my case, could pay quite well.
