Worst investment ever
When Siravich started investing in cryptocurrencies through futures contracts, he was super excited about the booming market. He jumped right into it without any research or a risk management plan. The cryptocurrency market was quite volatile, going up and down pretty fast. Siravich got 10x profit at one time but also lost around 1/5 of his capital in the end.
Lessons learned
