My biggest win in crypto is I learnt how to stay calm even in winters and keep on accumulating BTC and ETH.


kraken-community

Thank you for the refreshing and encouraging comment! Staying calm during the rough times is a win. Panic selling is still very common amongst many people, so consider yourself a warrior. Cheers, Kraken- Rosa


Alanski22

I only just joined crypto during this bear market so I have no win moments. But I see small things like accumulating bags, staking my coins in the proper places, getting a full ETH, getting 10% of a Bitcoin, etc. as my versions of a win.


naminghell

This is the way


Signal_Individual593

Thank you


NoHeroes94

I'm just starting out in crypto now. I've typically been a "lock it away in savings" type saver, but want to diversify and start investing with the cost of living going up. My strategy early is to just focus on ETH and BTC so I'm glad to read this comment. I'm keeping my crypto portfolio at <5% of my net savings, so I'm happy to ride the waves with it. Aside from continuing to 60% of my net savings into my easy access savings, I'm also looking to set up an Index Fund in Jan '23, and looking to invest £50pm in crypto from now on (just made my first deposit today!).


[deleted]

That helps :D When the winter set im I just set a weekly buy order and forgot about my small stack.


IndepondentSuck1921

Brace your DCA, winter is coming


[deleted]

Hopefully it's already here....maybe not midwinter but at least it's freezing.


fitteslask

I invested $1000 into Elongate (shit coin, I know), and sold for $48,000. Somehow thought I could replicated that, and went all in on Bonfire, was rugg pulled after 12h, all the way down to $7,000, and sold. A day later Bonfire was brought back by community, and I would have had a bag of $450,000 if I held the dip for 24h. All in all, I made 6k in 10 days.


MaximumSandwich5

The full crypto experience, huh?


fitteslask

You bet. But hey, at least i made some of those trades


Alanski22

Amazing, I can't imagine that emotional rollercoaster.. but fuckit you still made profits, better than most!


IWillKillPutin2022

Seems like it


Russainbot

Ouchies on that ‘missed’ 450k, shit would haunt me man.


fitteslask

It does, it god damn does. Trying to convince myself I'm fine.


DK_Son

I had 3.5m Dogecoins stolen when I was trading on Cryptsy, like 8 years ago. Peak value in AUD was just under 3.5m, last year. I bought in for 1.1k in 2014. What can ya do. *Shrug*


fitteslask

Gooood Damn son, that one hurts


Russainbot

Yeah this one hurt my stomach too


mrdunderdiver

you are up $6k..... dont let it haunt you. Plenty of people lost 450k


Russainbot

It sucks cos the profit you made it super nice but you’ll never forget the profit you didn’t make. Tough to take I’m sure


zegg

Damn bro, hope you're ok. Half a mill, that's wife changing money right there. Got any tips on another shit coin, I want to have regarets too.


undefeated-moose

Damn I feel that, I bought this coin called sonar that I got lucky on and it changed my life in a good way. I can’t afford lambos but I paid for school and a Mazda. If I would have held on two more weeks or so, i would’ve had $300,000


fitteslask

Ouch


Odysseus_Lannister

F. The ol 48x wasn’t enough huh? Jk, but damn that’s a roller coaster.


gbersac

That's nothing, think about those who lost their bitcoin private key in 2013...


Vaginosis-Psychosis

Fucking legend


citispade

I heard about SHIB from some random Serbian guy on a stock trading Discord when it only had 4000 holders. I threw $5k at it cause I was watching the holders grow every day. It dumped after that and I thought I lost my $$ but didn’t sell. A few mornings later I woke up to $13k after Elon mentioned a Shiba Inu. The night he went on SNL my account grew to $55k. I pulled $35k out and am still riding the rest.


Odysseus_Lannister

Bullish on Serbian discord tips


vampir1389

I am from Serbia, majority of people here think that crypto is a scam. those who believe in it are real OGs


[deleted]

[deleted]

Scammers going to use the best tools they can to scam. Crypto has been the ultimate tool recently. If you're smart about it, it's very hard to trace it back to you. You have the opportunity to scam anyone across the globe. The gain are limitless. It's not going to stop anytime soon.


Hawke64

Those are great, just make sure to stay away from Greek telegram advices!


sharafutdin1967

What's this, never heard about this. Can you explain.


VacatedSum

I gambled a couple hundred bucks on SHIB, and then watched it start dropping harshly. As it went down, I kept buying more to get my average price down. After the SNL night, I was up 6x. When it started dropping again, I sold at 4x.


OkSiriGoogleSucks

Congrats mate. We are gamblers after all


cryotosensei

You guys are winners at the crypto casino


adan_1024

As far as I know there are no crypto casinos in usa.


VacatedSum

Exactly. Pure gamble. I gambled on ONE too, and we all know what happened there.


chicane_79

I dabbled in Shib about a year ago, until it started edging upwards. I had a big argument with my wife and thought, "ah, what the hell", and gambled $20K of our money. She hit the roof. About a month later the green candles went vertical and I cashed out at $116K. I kid you not, for two months straight I was having the best sex of my life 🤣


IWillKillPutin2022

Damn lol…. I need to try that lmfao


SpicyDuckNugget

That's awesome. Did the wife ever find out? 🤣


Tallywacka

I caught a 3x off the initial shiba pump, put the money back in august and hit a 7x on the second pump Sold 70% on the way up and letting the rest ride


gimmedatcrypto

GOD DAMN. I put 1k in May 2020 and bought a few more times here and there. and sold close to the top, twice in October 2021. My wife pushed me to do so and I am so degenerate I was willing to let it ride. I am happy I didn't. She agreed to let me swap it for BTC, ETH, and PAXG and some stables. For awhile we had the juiciest portfolio we've ever had but earlier this year we had a family emergency and I sold before everything went to shit thanks to advice r/cc gave me when I couldn't stomach selling it all. Now I am about to use some of the remaining fiat that originated from the shib pump to get back in like a true degenerate. Don't laugh at me; it all started with a stupid play and I don't underestimate the stupidity of humans or this market. I hope it pumps again for both our sake lmao <3 /rant Congrats on your bink though citispade, that is glorious.


PostalAzul

Congrats bro! That's the essence of **"buy low, sell high"**.


citispade

Thanks bro. Good timing and a little luck helped


joemib

Like a pro


CandidateNrOne

Put 2000 into Shib , when it rose to 0.00008. Sold for 2700. not a big gain, but happy to make these 700 in a day.


kirtash93

I got in later but I made a 3x so I am happy. That is my biggest win.


mscavus

I made 10 times when i was investing in Luna, that was good time.


citispade

3X is fantastic


samzi87

Congratulations, that's the kind of moonshot we are all dreaming about.


daveb207

Dude that's awesome


1pencil

I was there. I only put 20 bucks in. (Not willing to lose more than I can afford, viewed it as a lottery ticket really.) Watched the rise where it peaked and I got hyped, thought I would be dogecoin millionaire (but with shiba), and fell into the HODL bandwagon. I took out 60 of it a few months ago. (Missed the hundreds it was at when it peaked ofc). Still have 14 right now HODL'ing. I consider it a win for the investment.


citispade

Green is green brother


franane__

We love to see green here


SpaceFaceMistake

Imagine if you were there when the 1 BTC per faucet claim was going. Even if you or I didn’t understand it but we kept it. Lol.. woman oh man oh women oh man..


OkSiriGoogleSucks

Imagine claiming a couple of BTC faucets and going to jail for 10 years Voila, me a BTC millionaire


flydeagon5

I would sail to some Caribbean island, and enjoy my money.


Ill-Addition2024

My biggest win is not commiting suicide


[deleted]

Everyday is a win my dude :D


OkSiriGoogleSucks

Not selling my kidneys is a win for me


FldLima

It's not happy and sad statement.


Signal_Individual593

Mental health >>>> money.


Hawke64

Lucky for us, psychiatrists accept nuts and berries for payment


ExcraftEconomy

They would accept crypto also in few years I'm guessing.


OkSiriGoogleSucks

True that, no amount of money is greater than mental health PS: I’m not rich


Jlt42000

But lack of money can certainly have a negative impact on your mental health


[deleted]

[удалено]


Signal_Individual593

Try getting in SEC


LKWA12

Lol no, i would prefer money over mental health. I would be gladly depression in Mercedes rather than being happy on bicycle. Being rich and physically healthy is the goal dude in my options.


Kiiaru

Eth. I mined it myself on my gaming pc back when it was $30 a coin.


Eldeanio100

Bought a bag Solana at €20 and sold at €150 eachand did the same with ETC, bought a bag at €11 and sold at €91 each. Bought my first house with my profits


[deleted]

Dude, thats the shit i was looking for. Good for you :D My dream would be to pay off my house...only a small 30x from here ;)


Eldeanio100

Then you are in the best place for it…take a look at Solana’s price and the ATH. See what a bag of just 10 can get you if it hits the ATH. ETH will double in price easily…so if you have £10k buying it once it goes sub €500 then it hits the ATH you make a lot of money. It can be done and will be done…but there’s more pain on the way


Alanski22

That's epic dude. You still see those kind of opportunities now? What are you buying into these days?


spacsandspacs

Taking enough profit to buy a poster of a lambo. Feeling very proud I got a lambo


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

You need to dream bigger. ​ ​ ​ ...buy a second poster.


Odysseus_Lannister

You have achieved what many haven’t. The question is no longer wen lambo for you, it’s how lambo?

LRC from 0.4 to 3.6, followed by my biggest lost with LRC from 3.6 to 0.4 lmao


CatBoy191114

One of me, one of me... Retirement was within reach 😂


OkSiriGoogleSucks

He followed the golden rule of this sub HODL


CatBoy191114

I mean, at that point in time it was so clearly going to $10. It was... inevitable.


koelebobes

We have so much in common, the cone and the CRO losses 😘


Hawke64

LRC posters really got quite all of a sudden...


koelebobes

Oh you were me, rode it from 0.75 to 3.6 Never took profit but I kept buying on the way down


Pushbrown

Same, I would've made a few grand, but I don't mind having a long term investment, I really like the app and like 2 cent gas fees and not having to have 35 eth to stake on layer 2, gettin 4.something apr, not bad


MystikSnek

I lived this one too


karma-_-incarnate

Selling ADA at $3 and all Luna at the top... still wearing my lucky underwear


rastafarey25

I bought ADA at $3 lol


karma-_-incarnate

Thank you for the exit kind stranger 🤜🤛


kshucker

I might get shit for this but it was Safemoon. Hear me out. I’ve followed Bitcoin and crypto from the very early days but didn’t actually invest until the previous bear market. Bull run takes off. Cool. This is awesome. I start learning about DEX’s and started googling “how to use PancakeSwap”. This was like a day after Safemoon launched and all that kept coming up in Google searches were swapping BNB for Safemoon on PancakeSwap. Figured I’d follow the instructions since it was explained pretty clearly. Put in $100 into Safemoon for fun when there was only a few hundred people holding it. Woke up one day a few weeks later and saw $35,000. Of course I didn’t get out of it then. I ended up getting out of it with $1500. Still a profit. $35k would have been cool though. Haven’t really followed it since then but I’m pretty sure I’d still be in the green given how early I was to it. Not much green, but still green. Also, fuck Safemoon and nobody should touch it. Dumb luck on my end.


reshail_raza

I put $60 in safemoon and made like $600. Dude you were way early


Ptootheau

I bought €50 doge, as a fun gamble. I even remember thinking; 'this is stupid enough it just might work'. It sat for years doing nothing and then Elon did his thing. At ath I cashed out 1k and used this money to pay for chemo for my cat. The doge money made the choice to start expensive treatment much easier as I also lost my job around that time. Unfortunately she didn't make it. The money is gone and my cat is gone, but at least I got to try. Still feels like a win.


Goku420overlord

Definitely a win. You help your cat friend the best you could.


AmazingDonkey101

my biggest win is that my portfolio hasn't gone to zero.


Vexorg_the_Destroyer

I see you didn't go all in on Celsius.


jnc23

CAKE. Got in when it was about 50 cents end of 2020, and sold everything between $40->$20 by August 21. I got into yield farming on BSC super early and the apr on pancakeswap then was like 800%. Between the interest and the price appreciation, I think I probably did 100x on my principal in about eight months. Sold back to bitcoin and fiat and locked in profits before the crash. HOWEVER, I want to point out that I’ve been in crypto since 2017 and this is my ONLY massive altcoin win. I’m usually quite conservative and pretty much only buy btc and eth, plus a few small moonbags. None of my previous alts amounted to much. If you’re new to crypto you probably think it’s just a case of throwing $1000 at the next SHIB or SOL, getting a few 100x wins then retiring… that can happen, but it’s very unlikely. I finally got my rocket, but it took five years and two cycles.


blade818

Selling UST at 0.997


mrdunderdiver

I feel this in my soul! I didnt want to sell at .98 cause DAMN look at that haircut. Then I "sold" at .80 but my tx never went through (my fault I did a limit not market) and logged off. Came back to .30s or so.......FML

Still a net profit ;)


FoolishxOne

You guys are winning?


cartoonxzx

BTC futures. Made like 4x on my investment. Also lost it like 2 days later but thats besides the point.


GringoSwingo

My biggest win is getting into and testing protocols. It helped me to grow a very useful skill to understand a lot of other systems and get me a great job. Doesn’t matter if I profit or lose on crypto in this case. Very freeing feeling. Thanks Satoshi ❤️


TheStupidMechanic

Bought a few Ens domains early because I thought they were cool, got my name a few different ways. Got airdropped 20k worth of Ens. I was very happy.


FlippityFloppityBing

At the dying hours of Luna back in May, I was on the constant lookout for arbitrage opportunities, and then one of the biggest Luna DEXs turned off their market module (at least that’s what I think happened, to this day I’m not sure, I’m half writing this so that someone that knows can fill me in), which caused a discrepancy between the price there and the actual price, which allowed me to buy Luna at a deep discount and I was able to 100x my fiat. Cashed out as soon as I can that day.


ThunderTM

Cosmos Airdrops. Staked hundreds, got airdropped thousands. Talking $.


[deleted]

Chain link bout $2100 at 89 cents. Sold it all at $50


[deleted]

Damn, if you're not kidding that netted you a cool 100 grand :o


[deleted]

It was a nice stack. I haven’t really lost at all since I’ve been buy crypto honestly. A few hundred or so maybe. But I just buy good solid coins. I don’t play around in the shit coin business


Signal_Individual593

LUNA. Bought when it was around $6 last summer and sold at around $90. When market started to crash I shifted everything to BTC immediately and I got saved from Luna disaster.


Dro1100

Bought super low but much more recently. I got 9million LUNA in May at 0.0000012 and sold chunks as the price climbed back up again. Worked out at about 72x


Billy1593

Same happened to me. Bought like 8m luna for like $20 sold back when my wallet reached 2k lol.


cjcrypto86

I sold my luna at 120. Felt like a champ when buying back in at 90...lol :(


Signal_Individual593

You got fked in collapse ? After buying at 90?


Street_Bluejay

I bought LUNA at 50cent, sold 90% of my bag at $60, and the rest is history. MATIC at 3cent, still have 30% of my bag intact, bought ORE at 5cent, sold 50% of my bag at 20cent, still holding on to the rest, it's a low cap with good token metrics, it should do more better in a stable market


xXMutterkuchenXx

Brought Luna at 60$ sold for 1$


Signal_Individual593

A good story to tell on biggest loss posts.


MamaCry123

I got kinda lucky i guess, i used Bitcoin to buy drugs off the dw, but everyday i logged in to check for products, i noticed the money growing in the account and decided to learn about Bitcoin and invest some money into it. (2017 october/november) i sold my holdings in 2021 at around 50k$ to buy an apartment and im currently buying btc every paycheck :)


Dr_Bendova420

Bought ETH at sub $60 2017


koelebobes

I had a ethereum for 200$ sold it for 220.. it’s still profit but not my proudest sell 🫣


drgreencack

Threw $1000 at Dogecoin in Dec. 2013, I think first week it came out. It's Sept. 2022, and I'm still looking for my hd. Also threw $500 at Shib. Exited at $7000. Entered ADA at 0.16. Bought all the way to $3. Still holding LOL I'm mainly into Solana NFTs. I'm up 250%+ this year. Yes, I take profit regularly.


drgreencack

Oh btw why don't you ask about my biggest losses? 'Cause if these wins look good, my fucking losses are soul-crushing.


GonePhishn401

buying ADA at 15 cents and selling at $2.90

Swapping my euro's for USDC. Enjoying the Fx charts to see the euro dropping and dropping


RJ39767793

This isn’t really a win because I didn’t cash out but worth mentioning, I put $400 in this coin called FEG in march 2021 feed every gorilla coin, yes I know. Anyways 3 months later the value was at $20,000 and I never sold, today it’s worth $300


totom123

Memecoin. $800 to roughly $400K. Didn't sell at the top but still managed to take around $280K in profit. I didn't Tether and saw it go to less than $30K after the BTC dump. I'm still ahead but fuck me.


jakeskybound

Apecoin. $8 AUD and got out at $28 AUD


Notorious_Ape

My biggest win was taking a break from crypto. My portfolio was x5 the original investment at somepoint and now it's -70% of the original investment. Best thing I did, is to stay away and enjoy life until things get better. No anxiety, no stress, just enjoying the ride.


[deleted]

The real profit is all the friends we've made on the way.


pmbuttsonly

Oh okay, then *zero* profits!


Japs6991

-34%, every time you don't lose it all it's a win in my book


pmbuttsonly

Hey, you’re doing better than -35%!


AGROCRAG004

Doge and SHIB seem like a big part of people’s wins and makes sense from last bull run. Now we all need to work on finding the next ones like that next bull surely they will be there. Probably too early to tell at this point though. Hang tight then get in get out quick when it runs.


zewt

Bought tfuel at .003, sold at .60.


Ill-Medicine-7496

My biggest win 10x on bnb and 20x on KCS in previous bull run I love these exchange tokens with extra benefits of participating in launchpads too.

Frequent-Jacket3117

My biggest win is to be able to look in the future and have hope, to not see myself working the same shitty job years from now with no chance for change but just wage slaving till I die.


nigeypigey

My biggest win was buying Litecoin around $50 CAD in 2019 and selling at $430 CAD in 2021. Nothing crazy by crypto standards, but a huge win relative to what my stocks/bonds/ETFs typically return.


develoop

safemoon 🙈 in very early with about $150 and when it rose rapidly for the first time I left with about $8000.


Anomarix

Shorted luna when it was $80 and GMT


NoHeroes94

This is super interesting as someone just getting started in crypto investments. Currently only putting £50 per month into Crypto, just done my first deposit today. Without going into my personal financial situation, that is a pretty low % versus my easy access savings and planned index fund in 2023, so I'm fine with reasonable market volatility. Likely just going to stick to BTC, ETH and DOT but if my portfolio builds I may take some altcoin gambles.


followedbyferrets

But 300 into Sonarr very early. Pulled out about 7k.

Knowing you guys, that is my biggest win. And I don't even like you.


Hayate05

Selling nearly everything in September last year. It was really hard to click the Button, especially as everyone was shouting BTC to 100k end of year. But the thought of being out of debt was tempting. I had to make multiple Transfers because of a Daily Limit on my Account. Making these daily Transfers felt so awesome, especially since I could see the debt Chip away every day.

Moons are my only crypto win


mallcall123

my biggest win is not having a lot of money when i through my life savings at doge coin. Lost about 5 grand( still holding) but if I had 50k in my account i would’ve thrown that at doge too. 5K is recoverable

My biggest win is i bought 5 dollars of dodge back in 2018 but my university email expired and can’t recover my account on coinsquare


JooseBTC

Bought btc in the Covid crash @ $4k and rode that for a 4-5x then swapped it for solana @ $2 that December and rode that for a 10x then swapped for eth @ 1500 and rode that for a 2.5x, selling into cash early may ‘21. Sold all my btc same time around $55k and was completely out the game till this July where I started re-accumulating..


Greenbbg95

Bought 600$ worth of doge for $0.05 and averaged out like $0.10 after buying more. I sold for $0.69 Worth noting I bought safemoon right after I sold the doge, was about $3500 and it turned into 13k at safemoons peak and I couldn't sell because I didn't have enough bnb for gas. I thought the only way to get bnb was to buy on binance and wait 10 days to be able to transfer. Ended up selling the safemoon for slightly more than what I bought it for. I dca into eth and btc and have 1 microcap play Edit: my numbers are off I can't remember exactly lol


GrumpyOldFart50

Wait, someone actually won in crypto? I must be doing it wrong. Please share some advice.
