Bought BTC $200 worth end 2017 sold for $600 end 2018 got a 2nd hand pixel 1 off the profits.

It's gambling. No trade I did across the window felt any different to pulling a 1 armed bandit lever. All the trend and trade analysis I thought I was doing was pure guesswork, prices were being set and met by other people and I was subject to the effect of fees on small holdings, far more than actual market moves aside from the gross 3x increase across the period.

I did it as a learning exercise. Obviously if I'd followed my sons suggestion and bought $1000 in the early 2000s (neither of us bought, I dissuaded him) I might feel different but I do think overall it's just gambling, looking for another dupe to cash out on.
