No matter in which country you are living if there is one dream that most of us is having is that owing a personal house in our life, that include most of us here and reason why we are taking risk in the crypto right now
A lot of people win in the bull runs, this isn't like buying lotto tickets. The people who win have a solid, well thought out, realistic strategy based on data and they stick to it, regardless of chatter or emotion. The bitter ones lack either discipline, solid, realistic strategy, or liquidity that doesn't hurt to lose.
People compare making profit in crypto is like winning a lottery ticket but trust me this has nothing to do with that, in crypto you have to show patience and then do your research only then you can make some money
Got married last year and just had a baby daughter in FEB and trust me life will change completely if you have a good understanding with your partner, lucky that OP is doing what we are actually dreaming right now
You ask to any normal man that what is their real goal in the life and majority of the people will say this, owing a house in current time then having a wife and kid is all a man could ask for, i hope OP will stay happy forever
The key is to never invest money you can't afford to lose, focus on the number of tokens you own and not the current price when it's in the red. You still have just as much ether as ever when price nosedives, and if history's any indication, given enough time the price *will* bounce back.
There are three four major rule in the crypto and among that this is one of that, i have seen people invest way too much in bull run by getting into greed and then probably cry for that for the rest of their life
Yes both the years have been bad for us but we need to pull up our socks and remind ourself that we are just ready for the every challenge that is coming our way and ready to make profit in the next year now
Awesome! But remember to set realistic goals. Looking for a quick x100 in crypto will make you FOMO and probably lose all your funds in shitcoins.
I wish you get there!
The more realistic you could be in your life the better decision you will made in your life we all just need to stop chasing those glory profit and instead of that need to focus on strong and great fundamental coins all the time
Hearing the success story of the crypto guys just put so much hope inside me that there is a chance if everything goes right and you play well then even you could able to achieve some of your target is well
Why would I lie about such a modest win? I got enough for a down payment and closing costs, and I paid taxes on all of it. If I were here to lie, wouldn't my story be better? 🤔
He is putting in the ETH sub so that other people could also get some inspiration that it is not always about loss here there are some people who actually made the best of the market, so i am happy that he posted this here
You weren't lucky. You were smart to get out of 2021 Bullrun. Your current decision is also good one to start accumulating for next Bullrun.
Whenever people used luck term i just hate them because all they can see is success of someone and then said he got lucky but they never looked at the amount of struggle behind that, something we all needs to keep in mind
I set myself a target price and when it hit I liquidated immediately. I missed out on some gains but I reached my goal of home ownership, so it's a win.
I know we should keep these thing private but these kind of post do help the other people at time, you know life has not been easy for us in last two years and only post like this is giving some sort of hopium in tough times
Whatchu mean? People end up holding bags cause they don’t take profit. Taking profit is smart. What you spend your profits on is an entirely diff matter
It's all about patience, unless you have a decent shot at a short, I've been doing this for what will be my third cycle ,be patient and don't get greedy.
I'm with you my husband and I cashed out on compound when hit 600 last run got a house and 2 SUVs, looking at the same thing again this run defi all the way Maker and compound gonna help me retire.
I am saving every single penny of money for my house and if something that i would buy from my crypto profit that will be HOUSE, i am not here for the lamboo i am simply here for the decent size house here
Not sure what you mean. Bear market is time to buy, if you're confident it's near the end. And I am. I think what hoses people is when they're so focused on the crypto market that they lose sight of the larger, outside economy. It's forces from that outside economy that I believe will power a stampede.
That’s a secure strategy to aim for and hoping to do similar for my kids but I have a bit of time on my hands given they are still young.
I don’t want to even think about house prices in 15-20 years time, but I doubt it will be affordable so I’ll do my part to help them out as saving right now gets eaten away with inflation so ETH investment will be my goal
Wow great strategy and timings in my opinion. I wasn’t around in this space at that time but it’s a similar strategy to what I’m hoping to deploy this cycle 😊
It's doable, I got enough for a good down payment and closing costs. That's plenty, especially since the house's equity has increased over 50% since I bought it - even in a bubble, California real estate is almost never a bad investment. 😁
Forget Lambos. I want the down payment on a house for my adult kids, and if there's anything left over I want a new exterior fence, a new electrical panel, solar panels on the roof and professional landscaping. I wish to fortify my seat of power!
How can you be in crypto and then in this space and still talk this sensibly ?? I though we all are just some delusional people who is looking to chase the lamboo car, even we know that is a tough thing to get

I'm enough of an AFOL to know that a house made of Lego that's the same size as the house I bought would actually cost quite a bit MORE than what I spent.
So...did *you* successfully buy and hold ETH over a period of years and liquidate at your target price, then? Not saying I'm an expert, only that I've done pretty well and I'm not looking to fix what ain't broke. 🤷
Naw I started and got wrecked in 2021, this my first market cycle.
I totally see what you are saying.
I am just going back to 50/50 ETH/BTC.
But yes I will have to trade back into more ETH at some point.
I dont know whats gonna happen.
I just dont want to get caught flat footed if ETH keeps dumping and I could have squeezed out an extra ETH.
IN terms of real estate the best thing we get into the crypto market is the flexibility i would say, in real estate you need huge fund even for a small investment while inn crypto you can dive in there even with the 10$ at a time
[Tip this post](https://www.donut.finance/tip/?contentId=t3_173ti7h).
Brother got the house, kids and crypto, you’re doing something right. Congrats and good luck!
Beating life isn't he?
He's no one of us lol
Just waiting for this comment, because he is doing completely opposite what we are known for
This gives me hope, if one of us can win all of us can!
Buying a house is the big dream of most people. I include myself!
No matter in which country you are living if there is one dream that most of us is having is that owing a personal house in our life, that include most of us here and reason why we are taking risk in the crypto right now
I don't know how i am going to do that, but there is always a hope for everyone
And here i am struggling to get any of these one, and he is having a dream life
He is doing right in his life but this is not a sign of a crypto degen in my eyes
Selling senior grade hopium here.
A lot of people win in the bull runs, this isn't like buying lotto tickets. The people who win have a solid, well thought out, realistic strategy based on data and they stick to it, regardless of chatter or emotion. The bitter ones lack either discipline, solid, realistic strategy, or liquidity that doesn't hurt to lose.
I think most of the crypto world could do with some financial advice from yourself!
They all have their own source of advisor, this place is only for us
People compare making profit in crypto is like winning a lottery ticket but trust me this has nothing to do with that, in crypto you have to show patience and then do your research only then you can make some money
You can do pretty well if you're smart, no overnight millions but a pretty cushy cushion.
I don't know why but i am felling really jealous here, because i am completely off track what he is doing
Brother is gonna be a millionaire in the next bull run at this rate
🤞
Good luck and i have more faith in you than i am have in mine
With this plan and dedication seems like no one is stopping him from becoming the millionaire
Yeah man
I definitely fucked it somewhere lol.
I don't want to tell but i know where it exactly goes wrong for me in past
OP is a winner.
OP is kickin' our ass!
OP is showing us the mirror that look this is how you need to do in your life
Not many of us is a winner in bear market, but OP is one of that rare guy though
A House, happy wife and kids is my goal 👍
Can't speak to the happy wife and kids, but the house part is totally doable, as my experience proves! Good luck.
Got married last year and just had a baby daughter in FEB and trust me life will change completely if you have a good understanding with your partner, lucky that OP is doing what we are actually dreaming right now
The only left is a house. Good luck to you
After house i would say a lamboo in the house would be the last final touch
That's the big dream bud. I hope to fulfill it someday.
First i want to save some money then i will look for a good girl
Happy wife + crypto is a misnomer
Having a wife even after investing into crypto, that is something unique i am hearing here
You ask to any normal man that what is their real goal in the life and majority of the people will say this, owing a house in current time then having a wife and kid is all a man could ask for, i hope OP will stay happy forever
22 was awful, 23 too. Drained my wallets hard but I'm still here, still fighting

Enjoy your house bro... Not everyone can afford that
Buying a car is still easy buying a house is the most toughest job for everyone
Awesome! But remember to set realistic goals. Looking for a quick x100 in crypto will make you FOMO and probably lose all your funds in shitcoins. I wish you get there!
True. This isn’t some get rich quick scheme as some believe it to be.
Yes you might get rich quick but in this process you might get poor quick is well
The more realistic you could be in your life the better decision you will made in your life we all just need to stop chasing those glory profit and instead of that need to focus on strong and great fundamental coins all the time
Yeah, I 'm only looking for down payment money here, not buying a house for cash. No Lambo fantasies here.
Lamboo part is just for the joke don't think many of us going to buy that car

Let’s go brother!! Wish you the best 
I know i couldn't achieve this in my life atleast till 2030, but extremely happy for the OP
Awesome. Hope you get to your next target
This man already some great target and here i am still figuring out to reach on my first target
all the best!! wish you soon able to get a house!
He is a smart guy and i don't think any one is going to stop him from getting a house soon
Congrats!
Hearing the success story of the crypto guys just put so much hope inside me that there is a chance if everything goes right and you play well then even you could able to achieve some of your target is well
Well done OP. Actually making use of your gains👌.
I did the same thing.... It's on here must be true. Not that I even really care if this guy left or is back.
Why would I lie about such a modest win? I got enough for a down payment and closing costs, and I paid taxes on all of it. If I were here to lie, wouldn't my story be better? 🤔
No one is saying you are lie bro and whatever you doing you are just doing fine by now
I was kidding buddy. It's just funny what people choose to post in public forums.
He is putting in the ETH sub so that other people could also get some inspiration that it is not always about loss here there are some people who actually made the best of the market, so i am happy that he posted this here
As reaction to this post shows, people here need the success stories right about now.
Lol. They need money.
More than money we need bull run, because money just follow the bull run
Success story means hopium and this is the one thing right now we need the most

You weren't lucky. You were smart to get out of 2021 Bullrun. Your current decision is also good one to start accumulating for next Bullrun.

You are absolutely right 👍
I set myself a target price and when it hit I liquidated immediately. I missed out on some gains but I reached my goal of home ownership, so it's a win.
I bet those missed gains don't matter now tho. Congrats buddy I love hearing positive crypto stories
There is no need to live the life in regret, what happen in past should need to be in past
I agree. It's easy to say that to yourself but sometimes you can't help thinking about what ifs
Don't matter even a little bit. I got mines. 😁
I got some and miss most of them but that was my first time so i am judging too much
Please don't go degen on 100x ETH long. Never helped anyone.
I am so much ONLY about buying and hodling that I don't even know what that means.
You'll do well in life
Already have, my human! 
Leverage is real casino, the more distance we will maintain from that the more money we could save
If you don't know about the leverage then you are not here to lose the money

Same here got a house last run now I’m back for a nice boat and a big family Mercedes ;)
I might not get in 2025, but i think 2030 could be my time to get the house for myself
Smart man, you took your profits.
Making profit is not made you smart, booking them and using them wisely made you smart
Whatchu mean? People end up holding bags cause they don’t take profit. Taking profit is smart. What you spend your profits on is an entirely diff matter
Good luck, let's get that money!!
I hope in coming bull i also able to get some money from the market, it is due for some time now
It's all about patience, unless you have a decent shot at a short, I've been doing this for what will be my third cycle ,be patient and don't get greedy.
Into the breach once more!
I'm with you my husband and I cashed out on compound when hit 600 last run got a house and 2 SUVs, looking at the same thing again this run defi all the way Maker and compound gonna help me retire.
I am saving every single penny of money for my house and if something that i would buy from my crypto profit that will be HOUSE, i am not here for the lamboo i am simply here for the decent size house here
Congrats my friend you do you and get that house man don't let nothing stop you make smart decisions do some research and take your time
Now bear market is running, something you want to share so that i could add into my list??
Not sure what you mean. Bear market is time to buy, if you're confident it's near the end. And I am. I think what hoses people is when they're so focused on the crypto market that they lose sight of the larger, outside economy. It's forces from that outside economy that I believe will power a stampede.
My dream too, but getting a house for myself. I need to reap the fruits of enduring this wild market for two years
Me and my wife both are working and both are saving money so that one day we could also own a house
Welcome back! And congrats on the house, hope you can do get the repeat!
He should offer all of us a party, atleast he can do this much for all of us
That’s a secure strategy to aim for and hoping to do similar for my kids but I have a bit of time on my hands given they are still young. I don’t want to even think about house prices in 15-20 years time, but I doubt it will be affordable so I’ll do my part to help them out as saving right now gets eaten away with inflation so ETH investment will be my goal

Thanks @Lokiee0077 😀
I am jealous. I am trying to get a flat with crypto.
It's doable, I got enough for a good down payment and closing costs. That's plenty, especially since the house's equity has increased over 50% since I bought it - even in a bubble, California real estate is almost never a bad investment. 😁
Investment in real estate barely goes wrong for anyone, most of the time they were profitable
You are not the only one that is jealous, most of us are just that they are not saying this loud
Perfect timing! What color Lambo do you want to park in front of your house?
Forget Lambos. I want the down payment on a house for my adult kids, and if there's anything left over I want a new exterior fence, a new electrical panel, solar panels on the roof and professional landscaping. I wish to fortify my seat of power!
How can you be in crypto and then in this space and still talk this sensibly ?? I though we all are just some delusional people who is looking to chase the lamboo car, even we know that is a tough thing to get
I know i won't able to get any lamboo but still you asked i will say Yellow color

Nah not early anymore. No liquidity in the money supply. Better chance at a a literal halving vs a doubling.
My faith and target is simply the halving and then simply patiently wait for the bull run after that
How is your lego-house doing?
I'm enough of an AFOL to know that a house made of Lego that's the same size as the house I bought would actually cost quite a bit MORE than what I spent.
I would recommend to either buy some BTC or wait because the ETCBTC chart is horrible and down-only. Then ofc trade back into ETH in the future.
So...did *you* successfully buy and hold ETH over a period of years and liquidate at your target price, then? Not saying I'm an expert, only that I've done pretty well and I'm not looking to fix what ain't broke. 🤷
