Quick story short
I knew from the early 2012 but was not that interested and din't had money to invest.
I started trading in the beginning of 2017. I was in college, didn't had money to invest so I was mining with my laptop
I was mining Bytecoin because it was damn so easy to mine. I was mining for like 1 month with my laptop on CPU and I made couple of trades when it was low price.
I mined like a dollar and a half, and after couple of months I have invested that dollar in MinexCoin ICO. Till today i have no idea how i managed to transfer a dollar and a half to their ICO, but the price of BTC was 1500$ or less if I can remember.
After 4 months of waiting and keeping my dollar safe I got 1.40 MinexCoin from the investment int heir ICO and also bounty.
I was holding that coin couple of days, even when he reached 70$ pump didnt sell it.
I parked them for 2 wees got 2 minex and I started traiding with like 25$
Until now I won't reveal how much I have but I am doing good
From 0$ to ....
My point is never give up
just be patient and everything will come in good way
cheers
