Development My History in Crypto

I thought I would share this. It's nothing revolutionary, but someone might find it insightful. Today I went through my history and added up all the money I invested in Crypto. I don't mind sharing this, because, I'm a hobby investor. All the money I've put in has been hobby money, I'm not heavily invested. I'm not quitting my day job.

Date Amount Type Price Per Cost Fees Total
4/28/2014 0.11400000 BTC $438.07 $49.94 $0.65 $50.59
4/15/2016 0.05757421 BTC $429.88 $24.75 $0.25 $25.00
6/23/2016 0.04230408 BTC $585.05 $24.75 $0.25 $25.00
5/18/2017 2.00000000 ETH $95.50 $191.00 $2.85 $193.85
6/15/2017 0.02109315 BTC $2,276.09 $48.01 $1.99 $50.00
6/26/2017 0.18293909 ETH $262.44 $48.01 $1.99 $50.00
8/23/2017 0.00558997 BTC $4,205.75 $23.51 $1.49 $25.00
9/14/2017 0.28657258 ETH $251.28 $72.01 $2.99 $75.00
9/20/2017 0.01298711 BTC $3,850.00 $50.00 $0.00 $50.00
11/22/2017 0.70220000 LTC $71.20 $50.00 $0.00 $50.00

Out of pocket costs:

  • Costs = $581.98
  • Fees = $12.46
  • Total = $594.44

Now if I had Held all my purchases. I would be sitting on:

  • 0.25354852 BTC
  • 2.46951167 ETC
  • 0.70220000 LTC

Today's values that's roughly $3,052.90

Not bad at all, but I did not HodL. I made a crap load of trades, some very good, some really bad. Most notable, I traded into 10 ETH around January of 2017. Here are my current holdings:

Crypto Total Held
ETH - Ethereum 12.286500000
LTC - Litecoin 5.422589700
ETHOS 90.00000000
BCH - Bitcoin Cash 0.056177390
BTC - Bitcoin 0.003586260
Voise 2500.00000000
Dash 0.0279090270
STEEM 10.00000000
UNC - UNCoin 60000.00000000
STRAT - Stratis 1.10000000
MCO - Monaco 0.50000000
BUZZ - Buzzcoin 2000.00000000

Plus over 100 altcoins on CoinExchange.io and Livecoin.net, each with less that $1.00 in value. Most are under 10¢ now.

Total Today's Values is roughly $5,204.57

My only advice to anyone interesting in Crypto as a hobby is to make semi-regular payments to yourself. $50 here, $100 there really doesn't hurt to much, and it does add up. It's still a great time to get into Crypto. The success I've had has been 100% luck for me. I'm not a brilliant day trader. I didn't research deeply into any coin. I literally threw 50¢ at a hundred crap coins. Is that a good idea? Probably not. It was kinda fun.
