Young buck

Hey there!

My name is Maxim and I'm from Israel, at the age of 16 I bought about ten Bitcoins at a buck per BTC and made my first mistake: The mistake of listening to various financial advisers and "gurus", Harvard graduates that made me feel overwhelmed from their technical analysis, back at the day I was still foolish enough to believe them and not purchase a larger quantity of BTC. No matter if you are Warren Buffett or Jim Buffet, no one can ever predict price changes accurately.

At 18 I was the founder of the first casino that worked using Bitcoins, we had about 250BTC invested within 9 days (about 40,000$ at the time) but the crash and burn followed soon as we were hacked and a large portion of the bankroll was lost.

Well I did eventually sell the ten Bitcoins at 1100$ per BTC in their peak and made about enough to cover the legal expenses and compensations for my casino venture.

Now at 20 I feel as if I can accurate feel trends within the crypto community and sometimes when I'm confident even make semi-accurate predictions. I am looking at OTC pink sheets to invest into cryptocurrencies, businesses that work solely in crypto and so on. I am looking to get some suggestions and perhaps make a couple of predictions as well :)

I am hoping that I didn't bore you too much and that WallStreetOasis will prove to be a friendly place.

Cheers, Max.
