In fact, I have not tried any of these things, I feel that they are a waste of time, that is, we can get real profits from other things such as trading, for example, either to prosecute the 5 Satoshi and the 10 Satoshi, whether from leverage or from games or faucets, I did not try any of them because I I wasn't convinced about it, it's just a waste of time.

What? I don't think that almost any altcoin i bought in 2016 was a waste of time, in fact it was way more profitable to hodl then day trade. I am not sure how faucets that you mentioned are relevant with the topic.

@rekter  I entered in cryptocurrencies in March of 2014 with Bitcoin faucets (0.005 to 0.013 BTC per day). The same year I tried Dogecoin and Litecoin mining but I stopped 1 week later. From 2014 to 2016/2017 I collected DOGE / LTC / DASH /  PPC /  XPM and BLK but my PC was attacked by a ransomware and I lost all my coins (no backup) 4 months before the big bullrun of 2017.... The 10 December of 2017 I built a 8 GPUs mining rig (for Ethereum) just before the big bullrun of January 2018.... I am waiting for ETH to recover $1000+ and I think BTC price will be betwen $30,000 and $60,000 before the end of 2023.

Thta's my history with cryptocurrencies.

When I firstly started using crypto currency I only concentrated on bitcoin and I began to use altcoins this year and my first one to invest in is etherum then XRP.

2017 was my first entry into crypto, and the first coin I invested was ETH. somehow I never glanced at other coins like bitcoin, I was always happy to have ethereum at that time. maybe because I don't have much knowledge to try other coins.

That great buddy, I have not invested in any coin, just new to this technology but planing to have a better Investments purpose soon

[lharost 1526]

The first altcoin that I bought was NEO coin because at the time many people was talking about how good the technology is and it has a great future and it turns out they were right and I bought NEO at 60$ and sold it at about 110$ and so I almost doubled my investment.

My first altcoin was Ethereum, I bought It when it cost about $ 50, but then sold it because I urgently needed money, if I knew that it would grow to the price of $ 300, I would not have sold it.

[neurolicious 462]

I knew about crypto since Bitcoins early days but didn't really pay much attention to it, LTC, Darkcoin etc that came soon after. My first altcoin I engaged in was Ethereum. After a while I bought a 1080TI I found out it is a very powerful mining card so I started mining Ethereum with it just to experiment a little. It turned out to be super profitable at the time so I started buying more GPU's. Thats where it all started.

I actually got of rid of eth when it was over $10 because i bought into all the fud on how it can't work. I should have dome my own research. Lesson learned.

[MCSGlegend 2210]

My first coin (altcoin) was a Dogecoin coin. I got It from a faucet that paid me everything I earned and closed the next day.

[CryptoMaxim 3829]

The first coin I was mining was Bytecoin (BCN) and I had a lot of it. It is a pity that in 2018 the price has grown significantly and at that time there were no coins.

[Calvinpriva 17296]

I was working in a marketing company known as Zoom, i knew one guy who is my friend's brother and his the one who connect me with Zoom and work at home as a freelance. It was in 2017, that guy was a trader and his the one who introduce litecoin and ethereum to me and he asked me if its okay to receive my payments in those coins or in Euro.

In other words, how was your introduction on altcoins? What was the one that got you started with and is the project still going?

Well, my introduction to altcoins, is, I can say it is fine. Well, I got started to got interest to altcoins when I first heard about xrp or ripple. Well, at first I didn't want to invest on it because of it only have small amount of money other than other altcoins. But I make a risk and invest to it, and actually it is very good. I mean, I am earning high profit because of it. Although it is not high than other coins, I still manage to earn. And I will still invest to xrp even right now.

[gourav789 2834]

The first alternative coins in which I invested was ethereum and XRP and I got very good profit from these two coins. I remember I bought ethereum of $ 25 and XRP of $ 10. This was my first investment in altcoins.

This your statement is not true buddy, do you know the price of ripple? Ripple has never reach $10, so can you explain how is that possible pls. Or you mean you bought worth of ethereum and ripple at 25$ and 10$ respectively

[IamLeader12 682]

My first altcoin was Ethereum, I thought for a long time whether to buy it at the price of $ 60, and I did not make a mistake with the choice of a coin.

[bitcoin-shark 1928]

the first altcoin that I mined and I'm still continuing to mine is turtlecoin, certainly it has a very low value but it's really easy to mine, the first altcoin I invested in was ethereum...

My first coin was Bitcoin Cash. I earned it in one faucet. What about my first investment in crypto. I did it in Ethereum. ETH price was 280 USD that time. 

I have earned from different coins, such as dogecoin, litecoin, bitcoin and ethereum which was directly send to   coinspot wallet. This was my first faucets sice 2017

[Jessica Karren 1242]

Ethereum was my first altcoins in which I have invested. I haven't do mining yet, I only do trading. I guess ETH is best altcoin for investment especially if you are newbie because it never gave you huge loss.

[Rickso 768]

the first coins i bought after bitcoin was litecoin, just because it is like bitcoin but with faster transactions and with lowers fees. it was also years ago so there weren't many viable alternatives as there are now

[Lover840 0]

The first altcoin that I had earned ia Ethereum and also it was the first I work to earn. I am not too into mining so I don't mine due to the electrical charge on mining. Eth is a good coin.

[bitcoinb 1359]

If I remember well, the first Altcoin I said to myself " I invest now" was Dogecoin. It grown well then the price decreased again. It was my favorite coin for many years.

Turtlecoin! I bought that once, and sold. I really like their logo and style. And they have actual active ongoing developing too. Reminds me of doge community.

Except it crashed like -90% from the top so i would say it gave huge losses to some. But it's a good coin, i admit that. I am following their development constantly.

So many people went to litecoin. I never invested into it, but i have used it a lot as a tool to send money between exchanges.

Actually I do not think eth,ltc,xrp are alt coins.But practically they are alt coins.I remember i invested in electronium coin.On that time the coin price was around 500 satoshi.I invested in it.Hold my all funds in cryptopia exchange. Suddenly i heard the exchange was hacked.So my alt coin experience was bad in first stage.

Hopefully that didn't financially ruin you. So far i have dodged every major exchange hack just by luck, or at least i didn't have much in them. I am hoping you will have better luck in the future and you will store them in your personal wallets.

Mining is not for everyone, and right now it's just most likely profitable to buy stuff and hold on. Everything is so cheap compared to mining costs.

Doge had the best community around, so i understand perfectly why it draws people. And there was no toxic behaviour. Everyone just seemed happy to be part of it. Start of the doge must have been magical time. I wasn't heavily invested into it ever, but i had friends who mined it.

Ethereum. It was the first alternative coin I traded and I did it on Yobit when I made my second withdrawal of cryptotalk campaign. Then I held it for about five weeks and I made up to $10. It was a very nice first experience with an alt coin.
