I didn’t want to talk about my cryptos because I am no expert - but I am just simply sharing my experience and what I have learned so far. Its honestly really embarrassing because I have made a lot of mistakes but I truly believe I am where I am today because of how it all started. I’m excited to start sharing more of my crypto story with all of you, I will be uploading these updates weekly! I know I will make plenty more mistakes along the way and I'll keep you guys tuned in.
I currently have:
-224 Ripple
-426 Stellar Lumens
-90 SP
-37.4 Steem Dollars
Looking to grow my cryptfolio
If you guys have any advice I’ll be more than willing to hear you guys out in the comments below!
Thank you for watching as always,
Jane

I got burned for $2k on an hyip too, know how you feel!
Check out @haejin he does a lot of really great analysis and tutorials and has been helping a lot of people build their portfolio and their confidence!
Also you don't lose when the market goes down, you only lose when you sell lower than you bought. Love your hint to leave a like at the end!
Thanks for being so honest -- I had NO idea that you did all this either!! That's like a punch in the stomach that kind of loss, but, knowing you can get to that point means you can do it again, and more, and you won't be making the same mistake again! What's awesome about the cryptocommunity that I've noticed, is people are very transparent about what they're doing, and we all learn from eachother <3
Of course! Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to watch this.
It is a "loss" but its okay, everything happens for a reason and I'm not too worried. <3
And I agree with you! Its so great to have everyone just giving me advice.
@paolajane You may want to get some Litecoin too. I think we will see some good things in the New Year.
What are your thoughts on litecoin? Still a good chance to dip in?
So many good things can happen for Litecoin over the next couple of months...............
Great story....sad but you learned. I had no idea what crypto was till June. I kept accumulating Steem and when the surge hit, I researched and opened up a Bittrex account, transferred SBD (around 500) and sold. I sold when BC was around $10K so when the dust settled I had $8000. I had no USD involved so I was so excited. I diversified and am holding about 10 different coins. I have a little BC left but not much. I'm just holding. See what happens. I am learning daily. I am old so it takes me a while to comprehend all of this....I'm old school. LOL! You are going to do very well. You are young and bright.
Tess, thats amazing! I am so happy for you, I am so interested - what other coins are you holding?!
I should be taking notes!
And what matters is, not age and how old school you are, its that you are ahead of the game ;)
Lets keep growing!!
Thank you. I bought about 1000 more Steem...I really believe in the Steemit platform. I bought 6 Litecoin, 200 Ripple, 30 Vertcoin, 20 Neo, 20 Lisk, 10 OmiseGo, 100 PowerLedger, 100 ADA and kept 40 in SBD. I bought that day and the day after....I was doing some mad researching and going crazy (having LOTS of fun!).. So I bought fairly low and with the dips the last couple days I am breaking even or still profiting on these. The OMG I am in a loss. PowerL a close second loss. NEO was doing really well but took a dip. Lisk is doing really well. I would like to earn and scrape together enough to buy one more Litecoin. The rest I am going to power up into Steem. Holding steady. I don't plan to sell, I want to build. So that is my plan. Let me know what you think and what your plans are.
Don't beat yourself up too much. I have made and lost several small fortunes in crypto. Luckily we have both found STEEM and Steemit.
Thank you so much for the insight! I am so grateful for steemit beyond words. Thank you for the upvote and resteem, I highly appreciate it.
I really like this haha, thank you!

Thank you!
I love reading ppls Crypto journey, so many roads leading up to just the real deal Hodling and Trading. Happy Holidays. To The Moon!
HODL all day broseph. To the moon!
I am pretty new to the cryptocurrency space. I'm learning more and more daily, but I'm sure to make some mistakes too. I already have! Lucky it wasn't anything too large I lost, but lesson learned. What a wild world I've discovered!
Yeah just keep learning from your mistakes, but steemit has been blessing me left and right and I feel nothing but grateful to be a part of a crypto-community and just keep learning and growing!
Stay the course on being an invester like Warren Buffett, and you will make a difference.
I won’t give up! Thank you.
I think having Ripple in your portfolio should be a no-brainer forever, especially considering many big banks have gotten behind it. These institutions do not get behind something without doing their due-diligence.
Ripple is my favorite so far! Its so fun to hold and see it rally up. This comment just made me feel a lot better about my choices, thank you!
Get some SmartCash. ;-).
@smartbot tip @paolajane 10
Nice post. Don't worry one day you will become an Expert on Cryptocurrency. I follow and upvote. Do same for me.
Thank you!
Thanks for being so open about your journey! Those HYIP scams sound scary, it's good you still made it out on top.
Crypto markets are a rollercoaster ride and make it tempting to count our lost gains... Sometimes I think about where I would be if I had joined my friend in mining bitcoin out of a shoebox computer in June 2011 (the price was around $18 per coin then, but he quit mining shortly thereafter and I just thought it was just a weird hobby). Honestly, I would have cashed out long before reaching this point haha.
Thank you for showing interest - they are really scary to the point where you are paranoid 24/7 it taught me a good lesson to always do my research.
I think I would of cashed out too haha but my sister got in around the same time I did and she held and is still holding so its really hard not to think about the lost gains haha
My latest vlog highlights a very similar situation of losing money. Keep it up, Paola! You're on the road to be one of Dtube's elite.
Im going to check it out right now!
And WHAT haha you're too kind thank you - I'm just wishing for the best and trying to do my best on this platform honestly.
Nice work... keep it up...pls like n subscribe my channel as well.... ;)
haha funny experiences. But look at you now doing well on steemit. love the story! and your channel keep up the work
I'm sure you're not the only person who regretted a crypto move they made. Glad to see you benefited from Ripple's recent success though :)
