The crypto market is young, has great fluctuations and is very potential. We have heard many people become rich investing in this market with Bitcoin and Altcoins, many of them have become millionaires or even billionaires from crypto^[1-3]. Their success has become an attractive topic for the press, as well as a source of inspiration and motivation for many investors in the crypto market. This is understandable because most of us want to become rich to reduce financial worries in life.

I am also not an exception. I have been involved in the crypto market since 2017 and have had many successes and failures. Although I did not become a millionaire, many projects and tokens brought me great profits and joy. The most profitable token for me is XRP off Ripple project. I invested in XRP at the end of 2017, when the crypto market was the hottest, and bought it at 1 XRP = 0.2 USD, then sold it at 1 XRP = 2 USD, and my investment was x10 just after 1 month, which I have never experienced when investing in real estate or gold.


Finally, because I couldn't bear the risk of losing that big profit, I sold XRP and took a profit of nearly 5k USD. I know that for many people, 5k USD is just a small amount of money, but before in my whole life I had never had such a large amount of money, it was enough for me to pay off my entire university tuition debt and buy a my first iPhone, even though it's just an old iPhone.

Perhaps I was too lucky to not suffer losses as soon as I started participating in the crypto market. That profit also gave me more confidence to stay in the crypto market for the past 6 years, I also had more motivation to continue working in this market as a translator to accumulate and invest in potential tokens in the crypto market.

I want to hear your success stories:

• Which project and token has brought you the biggest profit?
• How do you use that profit?
• What impact has that success had on you?

Congratulations on the big profits in this market, XRP is an extremely potential token, I am always waiting for its impressive return in the next cycle, when all lawsuits have helped promote Ripple strength!

1. I participated in the OptiToken project in 2018, a project to develop optimal trading methods, then generate profits and use them to buy back tokens, creating token scarcity.
2. At the best time, my OPTI was worth more than $30K, but I didn't pay attention and didn't sell it at the best time. In the end, I could only sell them for a few hundred dollars in 2021.
3. Most of the profits were missed but I received more important things. This fluctuation helps me understand more about the market: cyclicality, inflation, the need for portfolio management and profit preservation

I have no success stories in crypto yet but I believe that I will have that soon as the bull run draws closer.

This upcoming bull run we are anticipating is my first bull run to witness in the crypto space as I am using the opportunity I have to accumulate bitcoin and some other top coins I believe will do well in the 2024/2025 bull run.

The coin that profited me in 2021 was Bitcoin, Dogecoin, there was also this coin called CHZ which also got me a huge profit because I was it was very volatile, so I was just lucky to keep buying at the dip and sold at a high price until I got a huge profit. Apart from those coins, there was other coins which I earned some profit from but I can't remember the names again because the project are now dead. I felt very happy for the first profit I made in 2021 because that was when I first experience what bull market means.

I got enough profits with Bitcoin but I didn't get any profits with Dogecoin. I avoid to invest in Dogecoin although it was one of the most popular altcoins in 2020-2021. I'm not sure to invest in Dogecoin because the price of Dogecoin is very unpredictable due to its hype. They have no fundamentals, we can't expect much for their future.

          -   So far, I haven't been involved in any projects in the crypto space that have given me a big profit. Because so far I've been making a profit in trading, which is somehow making a profit here while I'm still learning it.

Then I prefer to invest in trading rather than participating in campaign projects. This is just my guess; I know that there are others out there who are still investing in new projects that are emerging in this field of the crypto industry. Only for now, the ones that give me earnings in trading are Matic, Tao, Manta, and Pepe Coin.

Finally, because I couldn't bear the risk of losing that big profit, I sold XRP and took a profit of nearly 5k USD. I know that for many people, 5k USD is just a small amount of money, but before in my whole life I had never had such a large amount of money, it was enough for me to pay off my entire university tuition debt and buy a my first iPhone, even though it's just an old iPhone.

Congratulations, you were profitable that season. In 2017, XRP was an extremely popular token. XRP's price increased sharply and quickly, giving many people the opportunity to become rich. That season, I was new to crypto so I didn't dare to get involved. I intended to invest in MLM coins, but luckily, before I could invest, Bitconnect collapsed and caused all other MLM projects to fail. Thanks to the delay, I have neither profit nor loss.

I only DCA BTC, then sell it for a profit of several tens of % to buy a new laptop for graphic design work. Even though it's not x10 like you, it's much better than domestic stocks, so I'm satisfied.

I think protecting money is as important as making profits, so when you did not participate in MLM projects in 2017, you were more successful than many investors who lost money that season.

Congratulations on making a profit from BTC and being able to buy new equipment for work. I hope you are back to DCA BTC as BTC is receiving inflows and rising strongly. We saw BTC at 57K USD.

As a beginner, what you guys provide is really thoughtful. I still feel positive and believe this is just a start. There are so many coins and projects going on. Maybe the moment of bitcoin years ago will not happen again. I hope I'm prepared financially and mentally when the chance is coming

The crypto market is still alive and BTC is still an asset that everyone can invest in. Although the growth has not been as great as in previous seasons, BTC is still very good when compared to gold or stocks. As you gain more experience in the market, you can look into Altcoins: they have higher risk but promise greater profits than an investment in BTC.
