TLDR In less than a year’s time, I had earned and lost over $60,000 through trading cryptocurrency. I put all my money into Verge (XVG) and Tron (TRX) when they were valued at a fraction of a cent. Then, at an approximate ~30x I sold them and purchased Ether (ETH) When the whole market started crashing, the opposite did the opposite. Most of the coins I bought soon after disappeared. The shock remained for several days and I stopped socializing and neglected my relationships. The real challenge came when I had to let go of my "millionaire" lifestyle expectations.via the TL;DR App
