#### Side tangent (Never cut text, copy instead)
This is my second attempt at this article. I took more than an hour typing my first article on steemit.com. While I was typing, I remembered that I don't like using the steemit.com website to post my steemit articles. I prefer busy.org. I highlighted all the text and made the stupidest mistake of all, I cut instead of copied the text. My busy.org window was taking time to load so in the meantime I decided it was best for me to find the media that I would need to make this a complete article. I went over to Youtube and searched for a video that I wanted to use and copied the embed link! Damn, I had my whole article on the clipboard now I have just destroyed all my hard work with a single mouse click!
Don't make this mistake in your life, I learned it the hard way.

#### [DeepOnion](https://deeponion.org/) Song
This video was supposed to be the last thing I would add to my article, but since it was the source of my misery, it will have to be the first media for this article. The video was uploaded by @impressive, one of the prominent members of the DeepOnion community. Enjoy it!

Now that's out of the way, let's talk about the reason you are reading this article, investing in $Onion. I am a newbie when it comes to crypto and therefore please don't take this article as financial advice or anything of that nature. Do your own research and formulate your own opinions about the project and only then will you make the decision, right or wrong, to invest or not to invest in this project.

When I look back at 2017, it was really an awesome year for crypto. A lot of crypto billionaires were made. I only got involved in crypto when the year was coming to an end and I wish I had done it earlier. Right now my portfolio is in red and I am in pain. Of course, I did not invest more than I can afford to lose but it is not nice to see your investments in a loss. Anyway, I have a relatively diverse portfolio but since the whole market is performing somewhat bearish since the beginning of the year, most of my holdings are taking a beating.

#### DeepOnion dominating

I first heard about DeepOnion in December and I did not take it seriously because I thought it was already too late to get involved. Now I regret that decision because I could have made some real progress by now. The second time I read about it, I decided to get involved, but what attracted me the most was the "free airdrops". I put quotes because things have changed now, rules have changed and you can see the complete rules[ here](https://deeponion.org/airdrop.html).

I wish I had been there from the beginning when free was still free, I could be driving that $Onion Lambo by now. Anyway, I am glad I joined this project because I believe it has great potential considering that it's a privacy coin and these will be the most prominent this year and the next as governments are cracking down on cryptos.

Like any other coin, the markets have really given it to the $Onion, however, I see this as an opportunity to get in, if you are still sitting on the fence. The price is just right and with still about 7 airdrops, you could earn a pretty amount of free onions before airdrops are history.
I keep increasing the size of my holdings whenever I get a few extra bucks and I think this will pay out for me come 6 months from now.

I don't claim to have a crypto crystal ball, but in my opinion, if you want to get involved, the time is now.
