Funny story. I set up a wallet and invested $350 CAD into litecoin right before the crash in 2017. I lost most of it. 3 years later, I converted what I had remaining to ETH and used it to mint my first piece on @SuperRare. Haven’t had to use any more of my own money in since!

@PeterMcCormack Almost got it right:
– Rough divorce got me broke and lost custody
– Lost all my #Bitcoin(and #Litecoin) from 2014-15 (MtGox, hacked, etc.).
– Drive an old Vauxhall Astra (not even mine)
– Supported Arsenal only to see them going down over the years
Time for change… #Phoenix - From NJdavee:
@litecoin $247 is major resistance. Look at the daily chart. If we can get clear thru $247 with good volume, then there is an air pocket with no resistance until ATH of $482 This weekend is big!!! Technically if LTC clears $250 it is off to the ATH This is fun to watch. Buckle up!!!!
