i know people are tired of this subject, because u dont see it anymore, and i guess these kinds of thread only pop up during bullruns but i fucked up bitcoin badly, and its not "oh i saw it, but i didnt buy it" cope scenario normies lie abouti actually owned a lot of bitcoin, over 200 at one point, and over-time i sold them, for what i thought was a crazy amount ($800-1000) and what i had left i sold around $10-15k in 2017 before it peaked at 20k. I only had a couple btc left in 2021... and i lost those to gambling with leveragethe money i made from bitcoin selling in late 2016/early 2017 is spent and gone, i only put about $50k away of it into the stock market, but it was just in an index fund, so its nothing life changing left there, a pathetic amount compared to what it would be if i had just kept it all in btcthat said, if all i did is hold all the bitcoin i owned, and had in self-custody, and just did literally nothing, i would have a net worth of 8 figures i know tons of other people fucked up like i did and worse and i know there's probably thousands of people who an hero'd from fumbling generational wealth, but my issue is, its so hard for me to even work a job now, i dont have the intelligence, work ethic or motivation to earn more than poverty wages in the normie world, bitcoin was literally my ticket out of ever having to worry about money ever again in my life and never have to work for peanut wages and i threw it away
i dont have some $250k - 500k SWE job to fall back on like many of you do, im literally fucked as a peasant working shit scum peasant level of income.i cant even cope anymore about some altcoin or memecoin saving me, because alts and memecoins are also fucked and making 100-1000x's with that stuff seems to be finished with as bundlers, bots and snipers farm memecoins at 50k market cap, nothing runs high enough anymore to make crazy gains, and even if something does run okay, it ends up getting vamped 100 times over and then it goes to zero overnight im so fucking blackpilled and demoralized on bitcoin for fucking it up, for crypto for how shit its become, and for how im stuck without any ability to ever earn more than a peasant income in the normie worldfuck my chudlife
Yeah
>>62055446You can bitch about what you've lost or be grateful about what you gained, faggot. The choice is yours
>>62055446Yea your life is over, dont let anyone convince you otherwise
>>62055466what i gained does not help me in a life changing manner for how long ive been around this shit
little bit under 4 months frog spammeryou die
>>62055446In 2018-2019 I sold almost 10k BNB at $5 because I was trying to day trade and was cutting losses. I've been flip flopping between apathy and wanting to put a bullet through my head for years now.
>>62055478it does feel that way in that1. im almost 402. no real skills or education 3. no motivation or energy to learn new skills or do anything i know a couple of guys my age (online acquaintances) from back in those early days and yeah many of them messed up too, but theyre all at least still multi-multi-millionaires and thus dont work or worry about money
>>62055502what?>>62055503what happened exactly?
Had $22m worth of popcat at its ATH that I bought for ~7 SOL/$500 at the time. Was one of the first spammers in the tg too and just kept spamming the cat pops and it caught on like fire. Made a 2x on it and soldAlso missed my Hype airdrop because Mullvad VPN wouldn't allow me to agree to the T&C and I just didn't care enough to get a dedicated IP. I don't feel too bad about it, would've never held either to their ATHs and would've probably lost it all eventually in the casino anyways. I like where I'm at right now even though I'm still a fraction of others ports and been in crypto on and off since 2017. I'm still actively trading and attempting to learn. The people who actually saw insane numbers on their screen before literally losing it all are in a much worse spot so I consider myself lucky
>>62055515Very simple, I was a retard with too much money on hand, bought at $9 and then panicked when it dipped under $5, it was a huge almost 50% loss and I paperhanded.
>>62055527ah, i thought you meant you revenge traded your 10,000 BNB down to 0 swing trading or something like that ha>>62055520They probably would have not even ran popcat up if you kept ur stack, they bundle and crime that stuff up, and the fact u were out meant they cabal who ran it up could do it safely because they had ur supply
>>62055482Try not to think exclusively about money. Money or not, you are a faggot who is going to die. Don't torture yourself about unrealized gains. No one knows the future. You made nice profits and you should be happy. There are also valuable life lessons you've learned all these years. No sense in being a whiny little bitch , that's completely optional. Aim to be a hardened man full of wisdom , you can totally do that. But the first step is stop crying and bitching like a faggot.
>>62055515Please shill. Your thread is obviously a script. july 21 is going to be the last auction, it sets a chain of events into motion that is going to reduce the global population by about 1/3, you are among those that won't come out alive.
Imagine a lottery ticket that never expires. You bought once, you hold for years. They call lotto the idiot tax but is it so stupid to invest just enough that every year that passes you have a chance to never work again?
>>62055446I had 45k and bought 100oz of silver and 6 Oz of gold when btc was 3-6k instead of buying bitcoin. Then I sold the PMs anyway and blew it on hookers in Thailand for 15 months.Now I’m a security guard and I onlyHave 100k to my name at 35. I’m constantly bitter and angry and can barely stand being in public. The world of people being happy and enjoying their lives makes me miserable
>>62055534Yeah it still kills though. If I had just lost my keys and found them now instead I'd be retired.
>>62055446Holding and doing nothing is more complicated than it seems as the years go by. It feels like you're waiting for a miracle while everybody else is making money. Like a weird betrayal of what you're into, just watching the money changing hands and doing nothing. You're making money at your job right now. Why not throw it back in the market with what you know now and compare the results?
Almost 2 mil, its like 40-50k now. I think about it non-stop and nothing really interests me anymore. Gotta get a job soon and am already dreading it. Could have escaped but I got too greedy.
>>62055572well when i was selling bitcoin around $800-1000 heavily i assumed it would probably take like an incredibly long time to ever go up again and make any decent gains above the 2013 mania where it went from $1 to $1300, so it going back around $1000 felt like 2nd chance to exit and walk away for 5-10 years while bitcoin maturedbut then it ended up skyrocketing to 20k within a year of it being 1k and when it went back down to 3k it still felt too high to get back in and that 20k was kind of a "fake" price because it barely held at 20k so it wasnt really "real" if that makes any senseWhy wont I throw money back in now? Well the market has grown incredibly since i was actively participating in it, and the potential gains just arent there anymore, as it is right now, you need to have a lot of capital now for it to be worth it, cant run up a port from not much anymore like u once couldthose days are over
>>62055585>Gotta get a job soonno you don't. there's welfare in every first world country.>>62055446>complaining about making $50k>comparing yourself to millionaires>not doing anything about it>ohhh nooo i'm almost 40 but in all seriousness my friend, you wrote this thread, so I know you have the fire in your gut to make it for real this time. if you're at home all day now then you have ample time to find an opportunity again. wallowing in self pity is a road to nowhere
>>62055572Silver and oil performed on par or over with BTC this cycle, that is already an indication that the times are shifting. Crypto is finished for regular wagies. Something like half of all americans own crypto in some way or form, the money that can come in has already arrived.
>>62055446Well, if it'll make You any better generational wealth is worth something only if there will be another generation after You. You either lose on early sales or get divorce raped later. Whatever man..... As long as You have somewhere to live, some hobbies and a job that pays Your bills what's there to worry about? Money that would go back to the (((government))) after You die childless? You have job and 50k in stocks. You are already better off than half of the normies knee deep in the motgages, car loans and credit cards. You already have everything that could help You deal in the real world. Good luck, fren.
>>62055595>Well the market has grown incredibly since i was actively participating in it, and the potential gains just arent there anymorethere are 50x-100x pumps even now if you're in the right place at the right time
>>62055446It could be a lot worse. Trust me. imagine having your business destroyed and career rugpulled, ending up with nothing but debt.
at least you know it's gone for goodthere's this dude who threw away an HDD with thousands BTC worth wallet on it. he's cursed trying to recover it which consumed his life
>>62055619That's one weird hell to be in for sure
>>62055607yeh but theres no liquidity in them, they all rug to 0 so fastwhen i was actively trading crypto u could actually hold a coin for a long time and make an exitnow if u dont sell within the first few hours you get rugged
>>62055613story?>>62055619yeh i know that britbong didnt he give up yet? that hdd was under a millions of tons of rubbish over 10+ years, it would be completely destroyed
>>62055508>no real skills or educationwhat the hell did you do all your life? and what the hell would you do with a bunch of money if you're lazy and uneducated to begin with? read the wiki page for the Matthew effect
>>62055446You still dont get it do you. The only people who made vast amounts did so not because they had 200 btc, but because of their mindset. And you never had that. Imagine right now having 50k in Bitcoin. Now imagine holding until it's 10 mil despite every day reading about disasters in the news. You can't, you'd sell. Only religious style devotion gets you there, and to be honest that's a bad mindset to have as it fucks more lives than helps.
i had 90k LINK in a wallet, writting inside a piece of paper inside a pokemon leaf green cartridge and my sister threw it away while i was in collegei think about suicide every day and i keep coming here anyways
>>62055661The story is some people are truly chaotic evil, the police won’t do a thing and good luck getting a lawyer when you need one the most. There are people out there with no regard for the law who will destroy your livelihood and extort you into nothing just so they can laugh at you struggling. I had a good business and was about to graduate, but was essentially burned to the ground, forced to drop out and now have personal loans on equipment that was stolen as well as student loans but no degree. I essentially spent my twenties digging myself a hole only for someone else to push me in there and bury me. It’s whatever, trying to recover for my thirties I guess. Might wrap up my degree and pursue grad school and have been gearing up to start another company. It was just difficult to go from feeling accomplished and reaping the fruits of my labor to financially drowning.
>>62055765I had 50k LINK and I sold it to pay off my student debt (70k) in 2018.To be fair I sold it at a good price ($1.30), it dropped to $0.16 after that, the only real error was not rebuying when it was 90% off.
>>62055446>$50k away of it into the stock markeyour problem is, that you gave up on leverage too soon, right before you were about to hit it
>>62055446>could've been a pre-40 year old multi-millionaire>probably stuck in six figure hell forever nowOwari da
>>62055564>bought 2k worth of metals and 1k worth of bitcoin in 2013>made 2k profit on metals and 31k on crypto>also spent a lot on hookers in Thailand >37yo and 47k net worth>grateful every day for the life that has been given to me, the easy gains, the brown pussy memories I don't think money has anything to do with it, check your testosterone maybe, I'm not saying this to be rude, it's very important for a man mental health.
>>62055446>45>$350k net worth>rentingAm I going to make it?
>>62055945You've lost the game but you do have enough to go to some SEA shithole and fuck jungle monkeys for rest of your life so there's that.
>>62055945ure gona be the big 50 in 5 years bro, not sure what u plan to "make it" on in ur 50'sure meant to make it in ur 20's, 30's at the latestand yeah im saying this as someone who fucked up and thew it away, not as some retarded zoomer, im about to hit 40 myself in a few years
>>62055446If you weren't part of the top 10% in 2025, you're lower class
>>62055448>i dont have some $250k - 500k SWE jobLol if you think people have those. It's all make believe by proud redditors
Well the good news is crypto is dead and buried so no one will ever feel sad about selling it too early ever again. Instead they'll feel like retards for not selling it while it goes through another 90% downturn. But then you'll have threads like these pop up and they'll think "maybe I shouldn't sell niggerfaggotfucktoyinu for $60"
I lost over 200k€ of my own hard earned money on shitcoins. I just can't get over it, I think I will think about it everyday for the rest of my life. The only thing that could soften the blow is a big inheritance but I don't think I will inherit more than 100k or so.
>>62055945>45When this board says "make it" it usually means getting out of the rat race in your 30s. At 45 there is no more "making it". You're already at that stage and if you haven't "made it" you never will.
>>62056063It's relative. If you can arrive at a good place at 45 it's better than people counting the days to their retirement
>>62055979I’ll take that>>62055995And how u holding bro?>>62056063maybe I’ll have a comfortable retirement by 65
Gay thread by a faggot
>>62056086>And how u holding bro?Im okay for now. Im trying to figure out a way to make it though.
>>62056062was it a few big trades on multi million dollar shitcoins, or just hundreds of tiny micro caps under 100k mc
>>620554461. You can't change the past2. What happened was always going to happen3. There is no alternative timeline where you're rich4. This is it5. Be grateful and count your blessings
I never had two pennies to rub together until well after the ship had sailed on btc, so I don't have any regrets as far as missing out.Like I missed out on it no more or less than buying a house straight out of high school or something
>>62055446Just know there are plenty of lottery ticket rolls where the winning ticket was right at the top and you walked by.There were plenty of drunk lunatics that could've hit you with a car, that looked up at just the right time.Plenty of mentally unstable women that thought mmmm maybe this guy could be my ex husband one day and spend his life paying for me.... But decided against it.Truth of the matter is;Your choices are predetermined. You only think and do what you do because of your genetics and environment. Neither of which you control in the grand scheme of things.So life is more like a ride or a movie. And you sitting here wishing you held is no more poignant than you yelling at the movie screen to tell Rob Stark not to go to the red wedding.The scene is already shot, filmed and distributed. You can't change it.Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Good or bad. It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with "You".
>>62055446Bought 10 taps of LSD for 8 bitcoin in 2012, then ignored and later forgot my wallet info, maybe it had 1 or 2 left in it. So there is that. I tripped for half a million dollars.
>>62056189ure right
>>62056289I like this view of it all, thanks
>>62055446I missed out on a 100,000x because I was concerned I was being blinded by greed instead of buying that dip caused by October 2023's events. On the other hand, that opportunity existed at all, so it shows you that new projects and thus opportunities come along. There are people who couldn't work or weren't even born when BTC or ETH were beginning, but they didn't all give up thinking there was no way to scale their money. The research is boring, even mind-melting, but it is worth it. You only need to be right so many times to make it.
