I’ve been buying #bitcoin for +5 years. I got many things right and many things wrong..

So here are 5 of the most important lessons I have learned along the way. 👇
Lesson 1: Cheap ≠ Value

Don’t get distracted by the per unit price of AltCoins.

#Altcoins are cheap due to their excessive supply. #Bitcoin seems expensive due to the limited supply.

Supply & demand is important. You want limited supply & increasing demand.

#BuyBitcoin
Lesson 2: I am not a trader

Drawing triangles on a chart is cool, but let’s leave the technical trading to the professionals, like @PeterLBrandt & @aspentrading10

Treat Bitcoin as a long term savings a/c. What you already have will be worth an incredible amount in years to come
