I invested $2,500 in Sept 2017, here are the results.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I didn't know too much about crypto at the time of buying them. I didn't do any trading or anything, just bought, and let it sit in my wallet. I just figured if I bought anything, the prices would eventually go up.</p> <p>I had this money sitting in my bank account for years and it was doing nothing for me. Just the peace of mind that it was there and I could use it whenever I wanted. Years and years went by and never touched it, so I decided to try and be an adult and invest it in something.

Not sure why it didn't blow up.</p> <p>I bought XMR just because it does what BTC says it does and the community has interesting people/discussions as well. Most of it is over my head though.</p> <p>Keep in mind, I held through two bull cycles, lost 70% on two investments, and I'm still up about 400% overall. There's no need to be stressed out guy, just hold for the long-term and you'll be aight.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SlappySpankBank"> /u/SlappySpankBank </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oqnhq8/i_invested_2500_in_sept_2017_here_are_the_results/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oqnhq8/i_invested_2500_in_sept_2017_here_are_the_results/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
