If you haven't followed me and this is your first time reading my post. I would highly recommend to check out my "Introduction" post.
I've been in cryptocurrency space since late Jan this year. I've gained lots of knowledge, had great connections and more importantly understanding and learning about blockchain & cryptocurrency space in general.
I started investing with couple hundred $ into bitcoin and later jumping onto ethereum on coinbase since then my journey has been researching other altcoins to diversify my portfolio ( from btc, eth to other alts) , investing every month (last 2-3 months have been really aggressive) , losing money on margin trading (understood wasn't ready for this but great learning experience) lots of things happened in last few weeks/ bear market, lots of emotions etc. besides these i believed in my research, conversations in slack groups, reading some great posts on steemit, following people to understand their perspective (By the way i would highly recommend to follow @sebastianjago , @investing and @crypt0. They give you great insights , analysis and reports which helped me a lot) and believing in long term holding "HODL" , combination of all these gave me pretty good returns.
If you're new to cryptocurrency do your own research ( most important ) > select coins of your interest > look at their team > Join their slack group > Look at the interactions in different channels / Support / development etc. > Read posts/reports/analysis on Steemit about those coins will give you great insights and make you take pretty good decisions.

I am interested in why did you , and how did you invest in EOS?!?!?!?
Thanks @flashboy , two main reasons to invest in EOS - 1. Brain behind EOS "Dan Larimer" , i read about him looking at his projects ( STEEM and BITSHARES ) dPOS , graphene technology was really interesting and i was sold. :) 2. Fixing Ethereum ( performance and scalability issues ) problems etc.
How i Invested in EOS -
My strategy was to distribute the spread of my investment in EOS throughout the year . 20% i invested in first five days and rest of the 80% i invested/spread throughout the year in all the periods.
