/biz/ - Business & Finance

Started with $80,000 on July 30th.

[$30,000 from my sister, $20,000 loan, and the rest is from my savings/all of inheritance from parents.]

Now there is only $11,000 left.


At first it was going well. I was up at $150,000 at one point (a few days after the BTC fork). When it came to the time I wanted to sell, Kraken (which was what I was using at the time) decided to go down. Their platform was/is so fucking shit. This problem kept happening and ended up in me losing thousands. Eventually I moved to Bittrex. I was lured into the P&Ds shilled on here. This just led to even more losses. The more I lost, the riskier trades I would do. I was barely sleeping 3 hours a night. My thinking was WAY off. I didn't realise it back then. But oh my fucking gosh, I wish I just took a step back for one day, to wake up and realise what shit show I was making.

Now I am fucked. I have taken several steps back and realised what a mess I have made. I don't know what I'm going to do. I wont lie and say that I haven't had dark thoughts, but I know in the future, this will just be a blip. That is what keeps me going. I'm 20 years old and am just about to start Uni; I have one credit card left (I have 3, but 2 are already maxed out). I know more debt is not the answer; but I don't have much choice right now.

My plan:

Get a part time job to earn money alongside my studies to try and sustain myself and recoup my sisters money.
Apart from that; I really don't know.
I'm open to any suggestions.
But please, don't shill in this thread. I've honestly taken enough hits - more than I can take.

It feels weird doing this but since I've seen it done before on here, I want to say a wholehearted thank you to anyone who would like to help me:

To anyone that is new here/hasn't suffered great losses: don't just scroll past this. Remember my message - don't make the same mistakes I did.
