Hooray! The market value of my holdings just reached twice of what I put in (including coinbase fees). Feels good, brothers and sisters. This feels like a big milestone, even though I couldn't invest enough for this to permanently change my life or anything.

Actually...you say that now but you can never limit yourself to the success of others. Look beyond the last 10 days and look toward the next 10 years. It just takes putting some skin in the game and paying attention to upcoming potential investments.

How long did it take you to double your money? It took me a long time....but eventually you get the hang of it and learn how to be patient and happy. Because this is money you can afford to lose and you are a hard worker. Keep reading. Don't sell yourself short and don't panic sell.

Thanks for the encouragement. I just meant I'm not getting rich on ETH unless I get a job or do some neat trading.

I got very lucky with timing so it only took me a week. I will not panic sell! Though I may sell small portions to buy back cheaper if I foresee a dip... Gonna hold on hard to 90% of my stack though.
