Doge may be a memecoin, but it brought me to this community and made me invest in other crypto.

Back in february when the whole GME hype started, I saw a couple threads popping up that the Dogecoin comminity is planning to rise as well. It was too late for me to invest in GME as it already spiked, so I tried my luck with Doge and bought at 0.05€ for 50€. Not to be too risky with my first investment ever… 2 months later I cashed out (a bit too early) and made about 180€. So my total wallet was now €230, which I planned to invest in Doge again once the price dropped.

Luckily the price stayed up and I realized that if I'd put my money back in Doge, I would only lose. Either the price stays up and I end up with less doge than I initially had or I buy when the price drops and end up with less € if it continues to drop.

So I started looking for alternatives to invest my winnings. I searched for other "cheap" coins, that had a lot of potential to grow, by reading this subreddit and came across VET and ADA. I gained some confidence by profiting from the doge investment and deposited another €500 into my wallet. I put €300 into VET and 350€ into ADA. I might put the remaining €80 back into Doge. It's an unpredictable meme after all, so who knows what happens.

I'm planning to create a more diverse portfolio if my current investment works somewhat out. Doge might not be the most popular among the altcoins in this sub, but it was a great starting point for me and made me interested in other crypto currencies. I also want to thank this community for being insightful, helpful and welcoming to crypto newbies.
