Story and Fallout of My First Ever Crypto Purchase

Few events are as mythic as Altseasons in the cryptoverse. The only one I can think of is the journey of X getting into crypto flat broke, picking a unicorn on his first try and then waving his way to whaledom in no time.

Now I'm not saying not that altseasons aren't real but that they're so elusive they put the long night to shame.

The Doge:

Yup, Dogecoin!

Back when I was just getting started in the shark infested waters of Steem and crypto in January 2018, I soon after started experimenting with buying shitcoins through the blocktrades exchange which easily linked to steem back then.

Having seen Doggo's adorable face multiple times on YouTube, heard it's origin story just as many times and me being a man of culture, I was intrigued. Once I saw the cheap price, I pulled the trigger multiple times over the next few days.

I'm sure this was in February because I remember telling my friend about me having invested in a meme coin at her birthday party which is in February. We actually shot a promo-steem video that night which I posted on DLive later on. Time sure does fly.

Anywho, according to investing.com, the price of Doge ranged between 0.004 and 0.007$ that month. I bought 300-400 during that time and pretty much stuffed them under my digital mattress so good I eventually forget about them.

Doggo in the Green:

3 years later the crypto mania is in full swing once again. Hive's full of life, the media is reeling in the unassuming piglets and the Paul brothers are shilling Xcoin so you know it's time to take some profits.

Musk do this, rugged stable that, Tether did what? Dogeland ye, Dogeland la scam. For days maybe weeks I heard all sorts of crypto claims but for some reason that's beyond me, when it came to Doge it was just noise, I couldn't remember that I'd copped some doggos some years ago. Until it clicked!

I actually became like a mad man for a good 20 minutes trying to remember where I had stored my Doge info, which I found surprisingly fast. It sucked that the dapp would barely synchronize but still, I was ecstatic! 💸I decided to wait a few days and see if the price would keep climbing and then act accordingly.

But oh no. Once again I forgot about it, went on a small hiatus and by the time I remembered, crash! Just my luck. 😡! Worry not though Ol Dogefather, we'll get them next time. Believe you me we will.

Altuniverse Post Altseason Season 1:

But imagine where I'd be had my memory acted it's age. I'd be reading my featured article in the rags to riches section of the Altseason Index Magazine while in Dogelalaland backpack laptop lifestylin. I'd be dodging pickpockets at the marketplace during the day and dishing out God tier shitposts at night for my broke autovotes.

But noooo, as ever the party pooper it is, reality had to set in. I missed the boat, yet again. 🙄 But hey; Memes are great, Doggo might still play fetch in 0 gravity one day, and technically I'm still in the green.

PEACE!!
