What was your first altcoin you have either mined or invested in?

[maye22 63]

The first thing I invested in was in bitcoin like the vast majority of people who have time in this world. Because it was the popular and well-known also when I invested I did not know very well how to do it and the only option there was to buy cryptos with my local currency was bitcoin, I remember that later I discovered the faucets and began to earn bitcoin with them, every time I claimed They gave 200 satoshis ... wow it was a lot, of course the bitcoin barely cost $ 1200. If I knew I would go up so much No one could even imagine it

I'll never forget it, it was two years ago when i was researching about bitcoin and I discover the altcoins due a youtube video, so I thought "Mm it could be a good idea to invest in some, but, which one?" then I found the tron (TRX) which due my luck was in what we know how "ATH" or All Time High, almost 0,24$ and you might laugh but..I bought like 100$ in it 😂. And, yes, I still keeping them in separate wallet (Who knows? maybe one day tron will get to 1$ and i'll recover my money) but, even if it wasn't the best trading movement, it was what brought me to the cryptocurrencies in general, so i keep remember that day with love :,).

Well luckily it was only $100. Could be way worse. People have been taking loans for cryptos, imagine doing that.

I haven't touched TRX but people have been hating it so loudly, (maybe because they have lost a lot. I think i should look into it soon. You know... buy the desperation and fear. ;)

Mine first Altcoin that i invested is Viacoin and Groeselcoin i invested in 2016 and sold in in peak of Cryptohype in 2017. 2017 was the best time to sell your Altcoins and BTC.

Loans in cryptos? Now you have mentioned it, I never thought that something like that could even happen, I'm going to make a research about it, I mean the base idea may make sense, but, to be honest,I'm kind of shocked, I just keep thinking about how many things may go wrong while taking a loan in one of the most volatile things in the world. ._.

My first altcoin was Eth, it was one of the currencies that I started to learn about cryptocurrencies, as I also lost, I also had a lot of gains and until now I am still investing in that currency.

[nguyendu1997 140]

The first altcoin that I invested in was ONT. ONT is a coin and can be used for staking in consensus, while ONG is a utility token used for on-chain services

[Teofilo Leandro ynca 64]

The first altcoin that I extracted was monero because it is easy to mine and the first currency that I have invested is in litecoin and bitcoin, those altcoins have given me a lot of happiness

My first altcoin that I invested was in BNB and I earned it more or less within 4 days, something quite good for someone who is starting

[jefferson1800 68]

I started working with the litecoin currency because to make transactions it charges little fee and now I use tron for the same reason and it is one of the currencies that is being used the most at the moment

[Osiris0 36]

my first coin was dash a long time ago it started with this and it was a wonderful experience

[julianisaac 97]

The first bitcoins I had were IOTA and XRP. I bought them a couple of years ago. In this last stage the first one I bought was the KALA coin. Now I have small positions in various altcoins, in case one is multiplied several times.

[mbohhe 51]

My first investment was in the german fintech company Naga Grous's coin Naga.

I believed it had potential as they were building a trading platform for fintech, where the coin was supposed to be used aside fiat currency.

[gabrielrojasg 42]

The first one I invested in was ETH and I took advantage of a 30% rise in the currency, I think it had a barrier at 1100.

maybe tron goes to 1$? I know justin sun is doing all he can to pump the coin but haha i dont know about 1$, due to the total supply it would be impossible to actually see that happening, but yea a lot of newbies bought the coins during the  january 2018 pumps.

[matias estigarribia 1605]

My first coin was Bitcoin, I remember spending all day with the pc on trying to collect some sathosis in faucet, mining and everything I saw.

[diegoalcalam 42]

Well, my first altcoin was obtained by mining with a D3 antminer, I got several Dash, then I bought an L3 + miner that I still have on today and it gives me several LTC, good starts.

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

 

If i wouldn't count my first short Darkcoin (now Dash) failed try, my first was Flappycoin, that project is obviously dead now and it was basically a joke to begin with based on Flappy Bird game.

 

I had no idea what i was doing, so i mined it and got some free airdrops from dev i think. When i tried to sell it on Cryptsy (former exit scam exchange) the price was under 1 satoshi and i had to wait until there was an LTC pair to trade it with. And funny enough, i actually managed to make some money with it.

My first investment in altcoin was DIMCOIN in 2017, there it was good for me then I invested in other altcoins and then I lost after I bought some anshares the current neo and it was surprising I did not know that I was buying Chinese ethereum so they called it at the time for me it was an adrenaline of cryptos and until the next day.

[aurisek34 34]

The first coin that I extracted from a mining site was the doge, generally this type of coin has a fast mining speed and has been very popular in the crypto community lately, I think the doge will have good value shortly.

[albertogm97 87]

The first was ethereum because a friend got me into a smartcontract I didn't do much but I did at least double what I put in the contract and from there I went researching and I already know a lot about how cryptocurrencies work

[Non 40]

he first currency I mined is the Dogecoin currency

[mayabdalla 19]

My first coin was BTC  . Ethereum

[Cen97 37]

My first currency that I invested in was the Litecoin in mid 2017, and I had it loosened up until the end of that same year, incredibly the market shot up and my investment tripled. It was my first experience and from there, let's say I became more interested in the world of altcoins and others in general

When I came to cryptoworld, I traded in BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs. After, I invested my money in Bitcoin Cash. So I my first altcoin was Bitcoin Cash. I never minned any coins, It has a lot of expenses.

[arnosk 228]

My first alternative coin was Litecoin. Because I had the idea when the numbers of coins to have was better than a low number. And becasue litecoin was and still is cheaper that number of coins was higher. The value was not of course. This is also a big beginners mistake, don't look at the price but at the marketcap and many other characteristics make a coin a succes or not
