I was just going through my past investments to see if there are any potential coins that I would like to invest again. Couldn't believe what I saw there. I had invested 0.5 BTC on Stellar Lumens (XLM) back in November 2017. Sold this in December 2017 for a 40% profit
If only I held this coin through the testing times until now, it would have been worth 10+ BTC today and perhaps 20+ by the end of 2018.
So this question came to my mind - does swing trading and day trading options really work for an average joe? Someone with a 9-5 job that doesn't let him/her watch the market all the time. I'm convinced now that doing the research and investing long term rather than short targets based on market events, forks, mainnet brings in better RoI.
I believe the real value lies in patience! Happy to hear your thoughts on this
