Hello everyone. So I’m very upset with the fact that over the last 3 years I wasn’t investing in BTC. That’s fine. Can’t turn back the clock. So I bought some crypto, some projects that performed very well in the past, and I was happy with that thinking that hey they’re way off their all time highs and have room to run are good projects.

Well now I’m watching certain cryptos explode 20, 30, 40 percent. Ones that I didn’t even think of. Some will tell me to “do my research”.

My question to everyone is what does that mean? How do you “DYOR”? What exactly is that? What should I be learning about a cryptocurrency to tell me if it’s a good buy or not?

I watched XRP go from 70 cents to 90 cents last night, and instead of getting in, I figured it was just a pump and chasing pumps is the way to fail, so I shorted it, yeah it went to 1.26 today… how in the world was I supposed to know that jumping into XRP was the better idea and then it’d run more?

Any information is helpful. People to watch. How to catch projects. What to look for BEFORE a crypto pops off. Where they’re going to stop? I just want to get better and I have no idea how. So now I’m screaming at myself in my basement. Great.

I already have a portfolio of cryptos so if anyone wants to see it and analyze it for me to tell me if I’m just in shit, dead projects, please let me know and I’ll post my allocations.

Thanks everyone!
