Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

This is very inspiring as we all know the volatile and unpredictable nature of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies at large. And while the comment box might be too small for some of us to express our experiences thus, this post surely touches a nerve or two. I mean if you have being actively involved with the trade over the past few years. However cryptocurrency enthusiasts around the globe all have a common story to share. We all lost in the dip as 2018 was an awfully bad year for the nascent industry. As we patiently anticipate the long-awaited bullrun and as a seasoned Cryptocurrency Trader I look forward to your blogs on here and also your future video-blog on YouTube. Thanks for making us feel at home.

Welcome! I recognize that journey a lot, I got into crypto wy to late even though hearing about it much earlier and taking the ffirst steps to buy earlier, but when I finally bought and hoodled it was in the wrong ways and at the wrong time and I lost a painfully big part of what I had at the moment and realized I would have to wait for a long time to ever see that value again, if ever. Now it starts to look a bit better, but still a bit scary. :D

@david-krug It is scary indeed. But then again, knowing how the financial markets work and how you can wake up in 5 years time and realize your entire bank account is either frozen due to lack of liquidity or not worth anything due to inflation is a reality. Putting something aside in crypto not only has a high chance of being being safe but also a high chance for huge upside. So the risk is so damn worth it if you ask me

I totally agree and I am spreading my eggs a lot and holding very little in fiat.
