Today is a very special day for me, because my portfolio finally broke its ATH. For some this might sound stupid, but to me it means a lot.

My portfolio was at its peak in January 2018 when altcoins peaked. I didn't cash out a lot, only like 2% (ridiculous).
1/6
In the bear market that followed I lost 95% of my portfolio because I didn't know any better than HODL'ing... It was a difficult period because not only did I lost 95%, resulting in a lot of anxiety and stress, but the views and income from my channel were gone as well.
2/6
At that time I was really feeling depressed. I felt stupid and felt like I failed. But I was determined. I'm really stubborn in these things and it didn't cross my mind to give up. I believed so much in crypto that I just kept going, with an 'empty' portfolio and no income.

3/6
But I was so determined that I used the bear market to learn. I learned so damn much about investing, I learned TA, I started thinking about writing a book about crypto (which I eventually did) and I believed that one day my portfolio would be back at Jan. 2018-levels.

4/6
I kept going with the channel and it started growing again, I wrote the book and managed to publish it with the biggest Belgian publisher and invested every single euro I had in crypto during the 2018 bear market (close to the bottom).

5/6
And look at me now. I'm finally at a portfolio ATH-value, the book is selling very well, the channel is doing great and I have a nice income from it again and I met amazing people throughout these years. I'm grateful.

Today is the day I worked the last 3 years towards.
