And my account is $540 now, converted it to Tether awhile back which stays right around $1 each so at least I’m not losing anything at the moment. I was just playing around, if it goes lower may buy back in at some point. Was really just seeing how it worked out of curiosity.

A guy at work put $1000 in some coin last year and cashed out at $80k. After taxes he bought his wife a new SUV, smart move maybe converting it to something real at the time.
