Recently, the audience on the channel has grown significantly. I decided to write a little about myself)
I’ll start with the main question that “disturbs” many: “Where does the money come from?” :)
Previously, I was engaged in the wholesale supply of electronic cigarettes/tobacco/cigarettes. Then came retail outlets selling electronic cigarettes. The business was quite successful, but over time it began to get boring: from morning to evening at work, the operating system, supplies, nerves.
Money no longer brought the same pleasure as before. I had a strong desire to change my occupation. I resisted for a long time, because, to be honest, it was scary to give up everything and start again. As a result, the accumulated “cushion” gave me more confidence and I sold all the remaining stock from the warehouse and sold the brand, which exists to this day.
My acquaintance with markets began with the stock market. I won’t go into details, I’ll just say that I spent all my free time on studying. And this is probably one of the most correct decisions I have made)
From the very beginning, I was very lucky to get into training, and then into a team of very experienced traders/investors who advised and helped.
They literally led me by the hand into this complex financial world)
I felt like a fish out of water at the fund) I liked to outperform the market or feel like I was one step ahead. During periods of strong corrections, I stayed in stocks that subsequently became top performers.
Overall, it was unforgettable)
My annual return in the second year in the fund was 148%. Who doesn’t know, this is impressive for a fund) I even received a job offer from the largest investment fund ATON, I thought about it for a long time, and eventually refused. And I don’t regret it)
Why? Someday I’ll write about this separately.
My introduction to crypto
I have been in the cryptocurrency market for more than 2.5 years. Almost 3 years of daily work)
I already went into crypto on my own, against the backdrop of news and growing hype at that time.
I started by putting together a long-term portfolio from everything that came to hand with the thoughts: “Binance will not list the scam,” but over time I realized the opposite)
But at that moment I was, one might say, lucky. Several coins took off and I earned $4,000 on the first day on the market.
This, of course, became a strong incentive in my decision to fully switch to crypto.
Because it’s hard to even dream about such figures at the fund)
Of course, then I realized that not everything is so simple and Binance is full of scams) I lost a lot and often. But in the end, my annual return in crypto for 2021 was about 240%. Of course, at the peak, the profitability was much higher.
I remember how excitement began to grow in me then. I found a very interesting strategy (at that time). I entered low-liquidity coins below the top 1000. In half a day I managed to earn 600-800%. It was a rather risky strategy. But I was relatively new to the crypto world, so I made typical beginner mistakes)
Now I would never, under any circumstances, get into something like this) I think it’s clear why.
To date, all the projects I have been involved in have already disappeared)
I’ll tell you a little about my experience with futures.
Like any self-respecting newbie crypto investor, I had to try my luck with 20x)
A month of trading on random, huge%, joy and then one deal that covers all profitable ones and so on in a circle. After a few laps, my shoulders slowly decreased, and my pool of knowledge continued to increase along with my deposit)
Without noticing it, I started trading for profit, put together my own strategy and increasingly began to receive calls from friends asking for help to figure it out))
Of course there were IDOs and ICOs. I remember an ID that brought 3000%. But more on that next time)
Spot trading and smart speculation?
Gradually, with the accumulation of knowledge and experience, I came to a greater extent in the spot.
It is spot that allows me and my deposit to survive during the current market. I take a measured approach to choosing a coin and thoroughly study the project before purchasing. Well, you know that yourself)
