My Dogecoin Experiment: What I Learned From Investing $2,000 In DOGE

Most of the time, I’m a boring investor. The majority of my portfolio is in index products — mutual funds and ETFs that follow broad-based market indexes like the S&P 500.

But a portion of my portfolio includes experiments that could be considered speculation or even gambling.

Earlier this year, I ran a Dogecoin experiment and almost doubled my money in what was a wild ride of a few weeks. Along the way, I learned a lot about myself, as well as my emotional risk tolerance.
