If this is a bear market, it'll be my third. Here's what I wish I'd done in the firs

Cryptopia getting hacked rekt me and the majority of the other ICO tokens died within a couple of months.</p> <p>Then in 2020 we go again and yet again I cant remember shit. I'd done a bit better this time as I had most of my stash on a Trezor and a lot of things backed up in a password manager, but there is definitely some crypto with my name on it floating around the universe all lonely.</p> <p><strong>TL
