Pretty humbling starting your sats stacking journey again when BTC is $90k a coin. My first BTC buy was 0.08 BTC for £494.40 using Bittylicious in Feb 2018.
Back then I wasn't buying BTC to own BTC but to on-ramp to crypto and buy altcoins because I thought everyone was getting rich, I'd buy crap like Ark to stake but not knowing what I was doing or even having basic charting skills - this was basically throwing money and Bitcoin away, by early 2018 Ark had had its run and everything was experiencing a blow off top.
Ark being a typical DPoS shitcoin, all the emissions were flowing to validators, team members and whales who were no doubt already massively up and could keep selling their rewards as long as there were buyers, the same playbook we've seen over and over again with shitcoins like Atom & Tia.
Fast forward to 2026 and I find myself once again buying BTC but this time to hodl, there's been times over the years where I've been up (usually briefly) on Alts but ended up either giving the gains away or riding them back down, then there's been money wasted on NFTs, Airdrops that could've been sold straight away and used to buy BTC but I fell for the old "Stake your airdrop for further loyalty airdrops" BS as the price tanks over time.
Long story short I've got some alts left but nowhere near the dollar amount I would have had just keeping all the BTC purchased from 2018 - 2021.
😂 Ark.io + Dragonchain = Maximum Shit.
