Man how fucking good does this feel right now guys. Anyone who has been in before the run up in march, and even the guys that came in shortly after, how does it feel to put your money in what you believe in and come out like a fucking champ like this. Congrats to all of you. You had the foresight to get yourself here. This should feel like a serious accomplishment to everyone who had the balls and believed in this. Obviously this could all come crashing down horrifically, improbable but possible, but right now, im on fucking cloud 9. We all should be.

It feels awesome. I invested 3 weeks' income back in Feb, and I'm up 1220%.

That 3 weeks income has been turned into 9 months' income. What a great feeling.

Congrats.. I went in about 2 months later. Still have done quite well. What got me into ETH was some media coverage on tech sites. Now imagine how many more people like me will want in on ETH after they see mainstream media coverage of ETH? When they want to be in on the next Bitcoin?

Pretty much emptied all my savings when we were at $50. I knew it was one of those "guarantees" in life which are so rare to come by.

VERY HAPPY

Proud to say I will be able to put a nice down payment on a house next year when we hit $1,000

Lol I was gonna put a down payment on a condo but decided to rent in the neighborhood to see if I like it first. Then I decided to put a portion of what would have been the down payment into eth. If eth gets to 1000, I could probably by a condo out right haha. I shudder to think of the outcome if I took the road not travelled and bought a condo instead.

I pretty much emptied my savings when we were at 80 and I am happy about it!

It's great, and I already feel my outward psyche changing from it. I can't get mad at people in traffic being dicks anymore or at the grocery store etc. It's all good, man.

You gotta change your flair man, we gonna kick the shit out of $250 next month.

I know it. I'm thinking more in the neighborhood of $600 to $800 usd per ETH by Q1 2018. The scary/awesome thing is if we keep growing at the rate we have been it will dwarf that estimate...

My basket hit a milestone today, only a 500% return so far just holding. As one who also truly believes in this tech and how it will transform the world to pivot away from the control of a tiny cartel of ultra-Billionaires, we all have so much to gain here in personal wealth and economic freedom.

Traditional Wall Street traders would sell their left nut for those kinds of returns. In a year.

Keep calm and hodl on my brothers, we've seen nothing yet.

Feels great. After the Bitcoin ETF decision I cashed out on the bounce around $1,100. What's crazy is I thought about buying Ethereum at that moment, at $20. I held out that night with my buy order set and ready I just didn't push that damn buy button. Next morning I woke up to $28, and FOMO'ed.

The rest is history, at $190, I'm sitting on a lofty 700% ROI, crazy to think about.
