Who will admit he got destroyed in crypto scams because of greed and hubris?I am one of those cases. My life has been in ruin for about 4 years now. I haven't told my wife, I haven't told my family, I am trying to appear the strong bedrock of my family but inside I feel desperate and on goodnightsweetprince watch and have felt that way for years. Without fail I check my portfolio multiple times a day and it's just a kick in the balls every time.I was wondering if I am alone? Biz seems just guys boasting about winning and being smart. But what is the reality?
>>61565872Well depends what do you mean by destroyed? Life savings gone without good income to continue living normally?So what, you've learned your lesson hopefully. Move on.Me? Portfolio down 70% from 200k all the way to 50k... I mean in normal standards it means destroyed pretty much. In crypto standards? I'm just back to where I started... Just means I have to wait a few more years most probably. I believe this is the case for most ppl here?Also I'm down maybe 10k my initial investment but the opportunity cost has been massive of course. But I ain't giving up yet.
>>61565926Life savings gone (200-300k gone up in smoke) but continued good income (knock on wood that it may continue) so far and living normallythank God I have invested (even though parrot idiots will say it's not an investment) heavily in 2 apartments 5 years ago, their appreciation will offset my brutal destruction in crypto scams. I will never be rich but I will be OK if I stay on the straight and narrowStill the regret, shame, and desperate feelings of ruin weigh heavily on my soul
>>61565926>Portfolio down 70% from 200k all the way to 50k... I mean in normal standards it means destroyed pretty much. In crypto standards? I'm just back to where I started...But when the bear market hits you will be finished
>>61565937Well you took your chances and blew it. Bigger regret for me would be to never try to really make it. I know the burn but first time losing big for me was an eye opener to enjoy other things in life. Who knows maybe your time will come but you just have to learn. Maybe don't play lottery anymore with memes and instead pick some long term winners that could still 10x in the next decade. Biggest mistake you could do is try to revenge trade your way back with high leverage plays...
>>61565971We'll see. Link is currently my biggest bag and if it will never see new highs I might aswell stop investing. With link bag I sleep very tight every night tho lol
>>61565995I went really big in polkadot and it's a total shit show. Other than that it was tons of wild rug scam icos
>>61565872Nah I lost 130k on AMD (owned 10k shares, sold at loss, if I still had it, I'd have a million dollars).Lost another 6 digit sum holding a company that went bankrupt and out of business entirely.My soul was ripped out thru my asshole by the jews but I am born again in Jesus. Amen.
>>61565872I didn't because I knew better
>>61565995>you took your chances and blew itYes and that means that all those years of working like an animal and being frugal as hell while others enjoyed their lives, were wasted, all down the toilet. This is what hurts most and very often I sink into a deep state of depression thinking about it. My wife will ask me what's wrong, you are scaring me. And I will be like "nothing. All is well." And inside I die a little bit more
>>61566028Happy for you.
>>61566031Only Jesus can lift this burden from your heart.
>>61566026>My soul was ripped out thru my asshole by the jews but I am born again in Jesus. Amen.That's nice
>>61566036>>61566026I have been desperately researching the Christian faith matter and Scriptures. But I am afraid it will rug on me too.Do you have any objective reason to believe? I asked my wife who is an ardent believer. But she gives me all kinds of answers that are the opposite of persuasive. For example she will say yes the fact I am alive today is evidence. Etc
>>61566031Being frugal and enjoying life doesn't cancel each other out. I'm not even sure if you're serious or trolling by evening saying that. Of course depends how far you'd take that. Anyways you get pretty bored to most things that cost alot of money.
>>61566054Faith isn't based on reason. Find God first and the rest will follow. Maybe it hasn't hit you yet - that God exists.
>>61566067Freezing my balls off from autumn to spring every year for exampleVery much the opposite of enjoying life
>>61566074>Maybe it hasn't hit you yet - that God existsDefinitely not sure of that and having watched probably 1000 apologetics videos trying to get to the bottom of the matter, I find the intellectual arguments for "a" God pointing towards a non personal deity which becomes an abstract concept not very different from Spinoza's God
>>61566077Grows character and balls staying nice and cold increases testosterone and even gives you longetivity.Just start stacking Link, maybe some etf or btc and live your life how you want. Maybe this was your lesson.
>>61566095Almost all the highest IQ men believe in God if that helps. I mean 150+ IQ big brains.
>>61566114They all believe in Spinoza's God, not in the Elohim, Eloha, Lord of Armies, El Shaddai, Jehova God, Yahwe
>>61565872Did you buy chain link too, anon?
>>61566155No but I have 12,000 DOT
>>61566031Yah if you look at it like a FUCKING EMASCULATED LOW T FAGGOT. Snap out of it nigger, you learned a valuable lesson. Now stop wallowing in your tears and be a fucking man, husband, and father for your family
I’ll give you some fellow wallowing. I look at my portfolio incessantly and I need to stop. I harvested 6k in losses from stinky link this year and I’m down another 4/5k but I’m holding that cause I have faith. I was heavy tech and sold before the rip cause i fudded myself into the collapse narrative too early. Fortunately I been stacking gold and silver so not all was wasted. Maybe cut your losses in polkadot and invest it elsewhere. No sense in holding if you don’t believe in it any longer. If you still have belief, maybe consider harvesting losses for a nice bank for your next investments gains you do well on.
>>61566171>Now stop wallowing in your tears and be a fucking man, husband, and father for your familyI just told you I have been doing that stoically all this time. Allow me to feel in this thread for once. Tell me we are all going to make it.
>>61565872no crying in the casino
>>61566210I'm in my bedroom sitting on the edge of my bed
>>61565926Bear market.Is this end
>>61566031OK but this is only a problem if you lost money overall. Once you are up a significant amount, cash out your initial and then you are playing with house money. I have ”lost” hundreds of thousands of dollars but I don’t really care, since I know it will recover. In the meantime I cashed out 100k (from an initial 10k investment) and bought a car and used the rest as a downpayment on a house.
>>61566641what part of losing 200-300K do you not understand, motherfucker? NET LOSS
>>61565872You aren't alone. Ex-wife got scammed out of almost 800k. Kill all scammers (in real life, not minecraft or whatever the fuck idiots say).
I made about 10k then lost 6k and then quit gambling because that's what it is and always will be.
>>61566641Normies refuse to acknowledge the zero sum game and that for one person to make money another has to lose it.The financial professionals make many billions each year...
>>61567339most of the profit is essentially from inflation because normalfags either don't save at all and blast all income on junk or they save up fiat. zoomers and millennials don't even save up for houses anymore, they are the perfect slaves.
>>61567304was it a real scam or "I leveraged and CZ made me liquidate" kind of scam? 800k is a lot
