I lost $2.5k gambling on futures. I'm also holding bags in things that might or might not 4x or more, while I could've just put my shit into an ETF for a stabler gain. All in all it's not that bad.

I sold equity to directly fund my personal vices

Didn't renew my passport and lost access to coinbase and 1.5 bitcoin
Passport renewal is too costly for someone who never goes on holiday

I completely fucking ruined my life with crypto, because I've underestimated the worst case scenario.
>get into crypto in jan 2017
>ride 2017 bullrun
>make mad profits (on paper)
>take out loans to ape balls deep into crypto profits (calculate the maximum pain scenario that I would still get out of easily within 5 years)
>quit day job because I made more $ in a few hours than I did in a month at job (this completely voided the "max pain will last only 5 years" strategy, critical mistake #1)
>make insane profits (on paper), never cash anything out despite knowing I should
>spend like 3-4 days debating whether I should cash out 50% to pay off all loans and ensure enough cash pillow to ensure a potential bear market for 4-5 years
>decide not to do it (critical mistake #2)
>because "just one more 2x" would permanently change my life
>uber dump, everything goes -99%
>shitcoin devs exitscam
>exchanges exit scam
>at the bottom of the bottom family asks me for money, previously I gave them my word I would loan them some money
>cash out the amount they asked for (basically like 40% of what I had left), knowing that in few months this will bounce back 2-3x (critical mistake #3)
>living expenses and loan payments slowly eat away all the capital
>do not get another job, larp as a trader instead (critical mistake #4) because "another leg up will happen soon"
>get completely fucking rekt, run out of funds
>can't pay off loans anymore
>declare bankruptcy (where I live it usually means that 50% of the loan is voided and you have to pay off remaining 50%)
>court decides to make me pay like 140% of the remaining loan (because extra fees, penalties etc) because "fuck you personally", can't do shit about it
It's 2026 and I'm still rekt because of this. Too many critical mistakes were made. As a naive 20 something y/o I got too greedy and this irreversibly rekt my life beyond what I imagined. Also too bad the bankruptcy only made things way worse.

wow, you're an absolute moron and you deserve every inch of what happened to you, sorry not sorry.

>>62475426
Meh, most people have no experience dealing with actual greed because they can not experience it in their daily life, even if they wanted to
Most of what some people will ever experience is maybe going all in in some casino, which can't even remotely be compared to the 2017 bullrun.
Imagine "winning" and making mad profits from risky moves for 12 months straight in a row. All the risky moves paid off, so you continue, and try to up the risk a bit more, which yields even higher returns, so you up the risk yet again etc. Of course you feel like a genius the entire time, despite the wins happening despite any of your input. Once you do it 30 times in a row, and win every single time, for 12 months straight, you don't really believe it when rekt starts to happen and think it's a temporary setback, a short deviation from the "winning" streak.
Most people lost money when the 2017 run ended exactly due to this, when you jump head first into really deep waters of greed, you're not really prepared for what you'll see there.
Vast majority of people blow up their first account because no prior experience in life prepares you for this. I made multiple risky bets greedmaxxing and got absolutely rekt. After realizing the music stopped in 2018 and the gains were gone and not coming back, and I almost "made it" for life but lost it all, my plan wasn't to return to a day job, pay off loans and continue with my life as before, the plan was to rope myself. I should've done that honestly. Not roping in 2018 was critical mistake #5. Once you fuck up this badly there's simply no coming back from this.

I lost roughly $30k on SAVA, but I don't regret it. If it had paid out, I'd be a millionaire.

I bought a house

if I had just rented instead I would be a billionaire instead of a pathetic millionaire now.

Which games? I'm also a whale looking for a good time

>>62477925
it was the height of the Genshin-era so I 6-con'd every Character up until Raiden + matching 5-star weapon
it got so bad I scrambled my password and forced myself not to remember the email. I could probably dig it up though if I had someone motivated enough wanting the account

>>62478051
>genshin
Well I'm glad you got away from that bro

Decided I would try to flip a house in 2024, maxed out 250k in loans to accomplish this at 0% interest for 12 months. Call stove runs, and knowledge gaps meant that my all in was 300k, took 18 months to sell, interest kicked in and fucked me even more.
>>Housing market crash
Sell house for 300k, barely making it out alive.
BUT WAIT
May 2026 - take money I had poured into house and got back, roughly 50k after loans. Put said money into AI stocks because it’s mooning.
>>iran war and IA pullback takes 33%, down to 37k. Fml

i said £1000 a month on prostitutes

>>62478079
I swore off gacha games for as long as I live
I actually tried to recover my account but not only did I scramble the password to the Genshin account, I scrambled the password to the standalone email I used for it; on top of deleting my 2FA idk how many years ago, so now I can't even recover the email attached to the account and change my password with a "forget your email?" request
I guess it's for the best but considering the account could've fetched maybe $3k to the right buyer...
hurts a little less than me sending $10k in ETH to the wrong address, but it still hurts nonetheless
t. I've fumbled bags bigger than you guys would ever believe

Gambled 25k in the casino.
Every retard that says bj, roulette and baccarat are positive ev needs to be killed.
Worst part is random fuckers betting 50 cents on slots and winning thousands and one fucker won 90k spinning 10 dollars.

>>62478707
id say overall in life if ive lost about $50k on all stupid decisions the biggest prob being like 20k of it on stocks/options

>>62474390
I have around half of my portfolio, 300k in CDs, because I'm scared of losing it despite knowing that index funds would likely make more

>>62479307
same. 4% is better the -%

Not caring about finance or investment until 40. That's the second most expensive thing I've ever done, the first being my house.

Are you lost or just retarded?

Sold soxl calls for 12k profit, could've made 1.3m anyway back to the wage cage

>>62484325
You'll never mentally recover from that.

>>6248433 in fact I didn't. Fuck my wage life

sold my 2.3 BTC back in 2017 for some shitcoin on KuCoin that went to 0. i kept DCAing into it because "buy the dip!!" but it just would just continue to be red month after month and then i had nothing.

cashed out my 401k in 2023 cause i quit my job and the company they used sent me an email stating they'd be charging me money to continue to hold onto the funds. i figured it'd be better to keep all of the money than have it slowly erode (it wasn't), ended up throwing it away on rent and had to start over at the age of 31.

>>62474390
I had 40k worth of Doge that I should have sold lol

My most recent fumble was not paypal at $40 even though I knew it was grossly undervalued. I got greedy and waited for an even better opportunity.

I spent my twenties travelling the world, living in exotic locations, surfing, diving, fucking sluts and doing drugs. I entered my thirties with literally 3000$ to my name kek.

Then I moved to Australia, got a high paying job, and have about 100k in crypto, stocks, and owe the bank 880k on a 1 million dollar property together with my wife. I'm 33 now.

All my friends who started working and investing straight out of college are better off financially but worth it.

I made very few financial mistakes relatively considering my very active financial life. I think 4chan wouldn't even believe my last 6 years if I went into detail.

Took the opposite path and FIREd mid 20s thanks to crypto + a FAANG job.

Entered relationship late 20s with very compatible girl next door (7/10 looks, 9/10 compatible) when I was a sweaty nerd (7/10). She converted me into a chad and now I'm unironically a 9/10. Random girls thirst over me constantly and all her friends tell her she needs to keep me on a leash.

Post ascension I now mog my girlfriend financially, status-wise and looks-wise but it'd be ridiculous to break up just to sloot out and try to score a hotter future wife, we're also having a kid soon. Thankfully she's very self-confident so doesn't get weird about it and feels like my match.

Either way, I have an overwhelming desire to use and abuse my new looks but have to spend the rest of my life fantastising about what could have been, I get overwhelmingly horny thinking about fucking random sloots, but maybe this is just what a long term relationship is. Instead I'm destined become a family man instead with the girl I could get when I was 2 points less attractive. Unironically wish the Norwood Reaper paid me a visit to get rid of this feeling. Oh well.

I hope having a kid will stop these thoughts because it's quite annoying. I'm also unsure if these thoughts just stem from general life dissatisfaction from having nothing to do now I'm FiRE. There are way too many hours in the day, wagies would never understand.

I find no-one on 4channel even believes me about this and I can't talk to anyone irl about it cos they get weird when I complain about having too much time and nothing to do so I'm just stuck wondering to myself with no resolution in sight.

So yeah weirdly jealous of you even though you're a million dollarydoos in debt.
