"A year from now you may wish you had started today." - Karen Lamb
So I sharpened my pencil tonight and took a look at some popular, mainstream crypto currencies and their performance over the last year.
Say you had invested just $200 in each of these 15 coins at the beginning of 2021... a total investment of $3,000... and then sold them all today. Even if you COMPLETELY missed some of the huge run-ups we had during the spring & summer time, you would have come out ahead by quite a bit. Heck a lot of you guys (and gals) spend more than $3k on one or two guns.
Here are the percentage gains for this year based on my rough calculations:
Ok, are you ready for the big drum roll??? (I still can't believe I missed out on this...)
$3,000 invested equally on 1/1/2021 into these 15 coins is now roughly worth about $134,363.98.
And again, that's completely missing out on run-ups earlier in the year, like ADA had in August and September when it was up to $2.96 -- not $1.49 like it is today.
Anyway, I did all this figuring just to say to you all (and to remind myself), of this quote, "A year from now you may wish you had started today."
Think about that and where you want to be sitting on 12/27/2022.
Oh, and in case you're thinking, "It's too late for me..." forget that line of thinking. There are more ups and downs, and good things, in store for 2022 with recent headlines like these:
