Everyone who has been into cryptocurrency started just like a beginner who doesn't know anything at all but as time goes on they begin to understand how things are been done and all that they can do to be better at it, So this made me remember when I started and got hold of a certain coin even though I have gotten an access to a certain coin earlier due to some little investment which I have done before so back to this first gain in crypto which I will be talking about, I know most must have heard about this safe moon token so this happen in the year 2020 when I was still somehow new in the hive blockchain not up to three month and the first amount I could save up just to get a new phone that will be easy to handle hive is needed.

The amount that I had then in HBD was just 36 and the total amount that was needed to get that new phone was around $130 and during that period the rate of HBD to the dollar was 1 and so it was very easy to compare to each other. A night before I removed the hbd from my account to get that safe moon I saw some potential in it and it was a friend of mine who gave me the insight that it might later go up than I expected, then I used all the 36HBD which I got then about using it to get a new phone after getting additional money to buy the safe moon token.

Around 9 pm at night, it showed a gain of +2% and I felt that there was still more to it since it was a new coin and there is potential it was going so far up than I expected so I left it and I didn't even plan on removing it believing I will gain more than that 36HBD which I have invested in it, I slept off and I forgot I bought this certain token which I was supposed to sell off immediately I got a little gain. Around 3 am in the midnight, I saw my friend's call that I should check the token which I got earlier, and to my surprise when I checked the $36 which I put in it was now over $400, Seeing this some greedy spirit came into me and I decided to still leave the coin and not sell off even though I have seen gain in ten multiples.

Sleeping back and waking up around 4 am, the price had gone down to about $230 and I couldn't wait any longer so I had to sell off the token at that price which made me have over $190 gain for the first time that I have gone into cryptocurrency. This was what made me get part of my phone because the gas fee for selling that token was much and if I had sold off at $400 I would have gained a lot even with the high gas fee, but with that I could get my first gain of about $190, I was so happy believing I will get more than that in years to come.
