How was your crypto journey this year?

[Ben Barubal]

2023 wasn't all bad for the crypto market. The crypto world underwent numerous changes; new technologies emerged, the market experienced declines and sudden eruptions, and governments implemented various rules.

It was a year filled with excitement, akin to a Bollywood movie. Some crypto exchanges went bankrupt, leading to numerous legal battles. Personally, I faced multiple liquidations while trading futures—aha!

On the positive side, I experienced growth. I learned about ICT and SMC concepts, took courses on risk management and trading psychology, and added some altcoins to my portfolio.

A few days ago, when I opened my Bitget app, I discovered they were kind enough to share my annual reports. These reports highlighted key information and figures, allowing me the luxury of reflecting on my performance. It wasn't so bad, if you ask me. So, how has your crypto year been? I would appreciate it if you could share some key highlights of your crypto experience this year..

  Just like you, it was very fantastic and also a good experience for me because it helped me honestly speak, especially those who gave me tips in this forum that also gave me additional knowledge about cryptocurrency.

  I am also continuing to learn a lot of things here in the crypto business. That's why I am very grateful, especially to the members who have been here for a long time on this forum platform. I hope that the majority who rank higher here will share ideas and knowledge with those who do not yet have sufficient knowledge of cryptocurrency.

the beginning of 2023 the price of crypto currency was very bad in addition to the luna terra luna incident further worsened crypto prices. but at the end of 2023 the price of crypto currencies has improved starting with a fairly high increase in the price of bitcoin from its lowest price.
but the price of luna and UST is still far from recovering the price of luna is still destroyed.
in contrast to solana, which actually experienced events almost similar to luna, but now the price of solana has started to normalize again. even though the solana incident occurred after luna

The year 2023 is of course much better than the the previous year. This year would definitely end with a higher value for my crypto portfolio. The year 2023 opened with the price of Bitcoin just around $16,000. Today, the price is $43,000. That alone is enough for me to automatically generalize that this year is a good year, better than 2022. 2022 is actually the opposite because it started with Bitcoin's price at around $47,000 but ended up at around $16,000.

Looking forward to the year 2024. I'm very hopeful that next year would even be better. $100,000 for Bitcoin is a realistic target.

For me, 2023 is a special year, especially mid-year towards the end of this time, I am not focused on the bankrupt cex or other regulations that make the value weaken on crypto currencies, many new cexes are an option because cex is just traffic for me. I mean when the price of an altcoin is medium or even lower, it doesn't matter if the project I follow shares the airdrop, yes indeed, because hunters only sell or hold. . I feel that in recent months there has been a distribution that helps my family's economy, and what makes me most happy, I can work again on the bitcointalk forum with the signature that I installed after all this time I focused on real world work, hopefully the project is durable and successful so that the campaign continues to run well, can work from home with plenty of time for family, worship and vacation together.

2023 also proves the rise of crypto curency from a few years ago, it should have profited how many tens of percent or even hundreds or thousands of percent of a coin, after bearish market a few years, hold-er its winner.

There have been slight changes regarding the crypto trading that I have done this year, although it has not provided much profit, it has been able to revive my enthusiasm to continue to increase the investment assets that I will make.  Market price fluctuations continue to occur even though similar things have also been experienced in previous years.  However, in the future I believe crypto will become more valuable and will attract more and more attention from the public

Well, compare it to what happened last year, this year was a better one.
Those who risked their money buying different cryptocurrencies last year are the ones who are in profit right now. Those who invested in Bitcoin when it was below $20,000 already doubled their money. New technologies emerged as you said, numerous airdrops that gave free money to those who participated (ARB is the most popular one that I know). Overall, it was a good year at least. It gave us another year to accumulate more assets, but at a higher price already.

Re: How was your crypto journey this year?

Hmmm. How can I explain it?

I guess I will just say, it's ok. I'm lucky that I didn't get affected by all those hacks that happened throughout the year. I'm lucky that I didn't lose too much money investing in different cryptocurrencies. Not that much happened to me TBH. I'm just accumulating, and accumulating, and accumulating, and until now, I'm still accumulating in preparation for the bull run.

[lienfaye]

Good since I made profit overall. Started to invest in Bitcoin at a lowest price this year and able to hold up to now. It's a decent amount already so I take profit to enjoy my earnings this holiday season.

On the other side, I managed to buy additional altcoins too but I prefer to keep holding until I saw a significant growth to the price. They're well-established coins so I don't worry for what lies ahead. Anyway, with the good news circulating in crypto, I think we can look forward for a bright future especially halving is just few months away.

[Mpamaegbu]

I'm better placed this year than I was in any other ones before it because I've gained more experience and perspective from the past. I did what I never did in the past and that was taking out a substantial amount of my savings in fiat and dropped it into Bitcoin a few weeks ago. Already, I'm close to 50% in ROI. I ain't even touching it anytime in 2024, except Bitcoin attains my expectation of $120k – $150k range for its next ATH. Anything short of that will mean to me that Bitcoin didn't perform well. I realized from experience that's it's a waste of resources to let one's fiat lay idle in banks while one can put that into Bitcoin as we approach a rally.

My cryptocurrency journey has started since 2023. Maybe a lot of things happened in cryptocurrency before my journey started but I didn't admit it. Many people have built their careers on Cryptocurrencies and many people have ended their careers on Cryptocurrencies. But futures trading is most responsible for destroying careers. Currently I have involved myself in trading but I have never involved myself in futures trading. Started trading with spot trading but I have profited no loss till now. This is my 2023 cryptocurrency journey.

[OrangeII]

This year has not been so good for me. I missed quite a lot of things and didn't prepare because I was focused on other things in real world activities. However, I see that a lot of people have made money from crypto this year, and I'm quite happy with that. We don't know how profitable we can get next, so I think if I can't maximize my profits this year, I might try in 2024.

[Justbillywitt]

It has been a wonderful and challenging years altogether. I was brave enough to venture into the futures trading and I did good though it wasn't an easy ride, but I am happy that I did it after spending some time trading on spot. I bought some coins and added to my bag. Won some trades and lost some. Above all it has been an amazing years for me.

This year is just a good year for bitcoin and myself because all my investments is in bitcoin. It is not that I bought on a go, I have been on DCA throughout this year. I don't know the percentage profit I have, but I am sure I am in the profit learn. I am sure because I started DCA even when BTC was in the 16k region. Definitely I am bullish.

Looking forward to the year 2024. I'm very hopeful that next year would even be better. $100,000 for Bitcoin is a realistic target.

No target is realistic mate. During the last bull run, same 100k was said to be realistic also but it failed. Don't be surprised that it can also fail next year or even 2025. One reason I think might make it fail is the sell pressure that will be felt at 70k (immediately bitcoin makes a new ATH). That particular sell pressure might dash 100k hope.

Forgetting about the past and mistakes I've made, 2023 alone was a fruitful year for me. I made a good profit through both trading and investing.
I have a few regrets for selling some coins too early for profit, otherwise, every coin I have invested this year has yield me profit. The best investment was Solana.
On the field of trading, I have had a good number  of stop losses on some token but they are significantly less than what I made on profit.
And a few of my grid trading are going strong for months making as good as 100%+ APY for over 4 months.

Mine is similar. I've had a decent year. Spent most time learning . made few trades this year though. As seen by this SS

not much to do, just focus on futures trading and it may be a profit and it may be a loss. I haven't seen much in this year I have made more or lost more. I decided to sell some of my altcoins and Bitcoin I held for quite a long time last year. and this year I traded more than holding assets for a long time.
but what happened to several large exchanges that ultimately went bankrupt, it teaches us all a lesson.

[leonair]

I am also following this all as I love to stick for the long-term investment because mostly in short term or jumping into pumps and dumb we have serious problems but after few early loses, I have good lesson and now not doing any experiment just holding stuff for the long term which is giving good reward with good stability for my future as well.

80% of my investment is already settled for long term and other mostly I try few things which sometime works and some not, but these things never create any harm for me or my portfolio which is good lesson for me after having few big loses in early years of my investment in crypto.

I think most people who are a bit longer in crypto made this experience. At the beginning everyone tries to chase the next big coin and invests in a various of amount of different coins which are praised from random people. But if you've been around for a longer time in crypo space, you'll eventually realize that the really successful way is to simply hold on to the good quality coins.

The prices of other cryptocurrency coins, including Bitcoin, have pumped up a lot this year, making it a bleak experience in crypto investing for long-term investors. And I don't know what happened to those who were only busy with trading.  The crypto market is not volatile and it not only pumps but also sometimes dumps the price of crypto so the experience of those who train is different from time to time.  So I think the journey has been pretty good for those who have invested since the beginning of the year and have held onto it so far because the price of cryptocurrencies has gone down a lot.  Something like this happened to me

[DeathAngel]

It’s been good for me but only with unrealised profits. I haven’t sold anything this year as I think 2024 & 2025 will be even better. We are up a lot in 2023 but there is much more room for upwards price trajectory in this market.

[GlacierBIT]

I experience similar feelings, yes there are opportunities that we missed, but not everything is lost, this is normal, because the cryptocurrency market is very dynamic and cyclical. It is important to focus your attention on future projects and trends in the crypto industry. Real activity is also important, many people have to combine several types of activities to improve their financial condition.

[libert19]

I don't remember, years come and pass as a dream. It's been 6 years since I have been here, I can't believe.

One thing tho, I have learned to sell, previously I used to keep holding profitable trades/Hodl profits or airdrops received for long time, and this usually made them go bust however recently I have took profits.

[Questat]

Well, despite how bad the market started this year, still it ended up with a good and unexpected markup. My experience this year also tells something to me that there is always light after darkness. But if we are too impatient, we can't see it anymore.

There is no easy money in crypto, at is really a struggle for us but because we are impatient, we deserve to earn a profit as well. Those who sold during the market correction and dumped their coins, I feel now their regrets. I hope this year will give a lesson to the new investors that waiting is very important and this is the only way to survive.
