Noobie on a rollercoaster

in #once7 years ago (edited)

Hi all.. Greetings from Ireland, home to the black pint and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.. Well that's what's what the rest of the world thinks. I've tried everything in the work force, from being a painter and decorator to online sales. Too be honest I've thought about flitting this god forsaken but beautiful country many times... Until... i was introduced to this mad crazy thing called cryptocurrency. I must admit, i joined up at a weird time to say the least. The week i joined i was told all about litecoin and how its going to the moon.. but all i saw was the whole market taking a huge dip.. (14th/15th june). But after learning all about day trading, margins and lending, its all falling into place... I've had one peak that's all when EOS rose to the skies... That was a funny nooby day... i went to bed the night before laying out all my bets on EOS.. My face was priceless when i noticed my USD balance.. woohoo I've doubled up, i said to my son as he walked into the room... I asked, "hmm what do i do, sell or sit?" He replied "up to you dad, maybe time to sell".... As i turned around and stretched out my fingers to hit that magical sell button, all i saw before my eye's was a sea of red.. Crappadoodledoo!! crap!! crap!! crap!! I couldn't set a sell point quick enough, aarrrghhhh!!!! 80 dollars down and counting grrrr. Boom, gotcha... I was down 84 dollars but hey i was still up... so that afternoon all went quiet for a couple of hours until i saw green bars.. Ok time to buy.. "transaction complete"... i was back in riding the waves... but nobody told me about certain types of waves... this one kept going down and down.. Nooby panic set in and i sold out on a very slight minus from where i originally bought in... Lessons learnt (1) Set selling price or don't take your eyes off your charts. (2) Don't panic. (3) learn more about margin trading.... Well, i could go on about how I've made some profits and been down some, in the last 4/5 weeks on this mad roller-coaster ride.. So stay tuned and i'll keep you all updated as i go along... Chow ;-)8f3b114cf4e144d5259499d551487199.jpg261923_224800457542402_1759093_n.jpg

Saluton ! Welcome on board. I spend a good year on your green land. Loved it very much, first in Nothern Ireland than in County Kerry.

Ah thank you :-) Its a beautiful country .. I lived in Tralee for 5 years .. County Kerry is that one place on the earth that is hard to describe.. It took me 2 years to fully understand what they were saying lol.

Yeah, and I still remember celebrating the Rose of Tralee in pouring rain, the girls brave in their light Caribbean costumes... and the tiny currachs on the sea.

Yup.. That's the magical two words here..The weather.. It's on the Irish lips as a conversation everywhere you go. I have a cool video i came across this morning .. enjoy the old times

Thanks a lot!

lol... Just out of curiosity, where are you from do you mind me asking?
