Is anyone here into Crypto or was into it? 

If yes, what coins are you into and why?

If you were into it and are no longer into it, what made you get out?

I can only say it scares the shit out of me, so I stay away

Anything that fluctuates so frequently and so wildly doesn't seem like its stable enough to offer value to me as an investor

Plus - with Quantum computing on the horizon, how secure are the ledgers or the wallets?

I mined some Litecoin a number of years ago - got about $800 out of it. My electric bill was probably 10x higher than that, lol.
I think it's *interesting* but I'm not sure I'll touch it again. The cons definitely outweigh the benefits at this point.

This year I started off with a small portfolio, grabbed a nice profit in the first quarter of the year. As most of you might know, the market really started to cool down and that was the point I pulled out my profits. Happy I did, looking at the market right now. 

I had about 2500 shares of doge that I purchased for around .02 a share. Sold those off and then repurchased about 1000 at around .08 and sold the first time it hit .25

Wishing I had held on a little longer, but the money was spent on a vacation, so im not quite as mad about it

Anyone think the changes between China shutting out crypto and the new changes with IRS reporting are going to start to puncture the bubble a bit? 

As an asset class so many of these currencies are faith based but as governments start regulating these I'm not sure what usefulness they'll serve if they're essentially regulated like the currencies that these are designed to be the opposite of from a control standpoint. 

I have some doge and ETC... Up and down volatility woo. But long term might be fun, we'll see. 

Bear Market

I've only gotten into Doge, nothing else. Although I hear lots of good things with my friends on the other Crypto's I believe I am always Late to the party so to speak. Is this the case?

Two days after this was posted everything started to drop drop drop, talk about some bad timing. 

There are a few crypto that interest me. Shibu Inu, Tron and Ankr all looked promising. Considering this new crash in the market i am still holding out on shibu inu bringing back good things as soon as shib swap is up and running and robinhood approve it. 

Well the market rebounded anywhere b/w 40-80% depending on the coin. Granted, they still need another few days of this. To cover what they lost last week. But its a good sign. Lets see, if these rallies last into this week. 

Not interested in any of the meme stocks.

Just have some bitcoin on the off chance it blows up again... 

Not quite the same levels as before but obviously forecasts of $100k by the end of the year etc make it worth the punt.. 

I'm just starting to look into how crypto works. If anyone here has some solid knowledge and wants to share that data, I'd love to talk to someone who knows what's up and down.
