I sold some bitcoins months ago, had trouble with the exchange (I dislike them pretty much), but I did, unfortunately couldn't find anyone to trade in person.
Back in 2016 until 2018 I used to receive payments in Bitcoin and in this period the price was in the range of $650-$20.000, I had it all in one dedicated virtual machine but I had lost the seed phrase because I wrote it in a paper and couldn't remember where it was.. I checked everything to finally find it (do not forget your seed, or you will never recover it), I was kind of surprised I actually had something in the wallet, I used to make small payments and also receiving from some freelance works (but always cashed out straight away), I have hundreds of addresses with dust btc (satoshi), some of these addresses are not even possible to cash out, the mining fee would cost more than the btc balance itself LOL, I will keep it and see where it goes, it is not much, summing up the hundreds addresses it is around $1.1K in the current price, but probably the majority of it would not be possible to cash out (that's what I hate in bitcoin, the steep miner fee locking small amounts in the wallet, the same goes for Ethereum).. but who knows the future, tides change all the time.
I am thinking to buy some Monero, I have about $50 worth of it and would like to increase this wallet, heard amazing things coming, but I do not know if it is speculation only, people in crypto business tend to be too much optimistic and I do not follow reddit, too much garbage, hard to filtrate.
Any good intel on Monero?
Just would like to advice anyone that are thinking in selling their houses or belongings in order to invest in frenzy Bitcoin and the likes, DON'T DO IT PLEASE, a stupid (yeah, stupid in my opinion) ex-colleague from my last work did that actually, he was freaking out with covid lock down also without work and sold his apartment and now he is paying rent and his bitcoin are being hold by an exchange, he became a trader overnight, I hope he won't regret.
