Why are you doing this to your dearly beloved? This affects her too, you know. I'll bet she thinks you've been cheating or something. Either way, you should be transparent with her and admit you lost all of your money. And either way, she's going to lose respect for you, so better start reading /r/theredpill and get ready to move on, because she's gonna be cumming on another smarter guy's dick soon (and he bought Jan. 2017 and sold at ATH btw) retard.

If you have 7k left you have options still.
If there is ever another bullrun your money can come back as long as you invest in one of the actual coins like BTC, ETH, BCH or something. The actual stock markets are all stalling right now.. you never know. (but dont gamble, thats what fucked you up the first time).

Come up with a real strategy.

But its not mentally healthy what you are doing.
Losing money sucks
but holding it in and lieing is worse
but if you come clean to her shell prob leave you too.

Good luck anon, im rooting for your comeback.

So I'm not going to larp, not sure if you are but here's my advice.

I bought BTC at 600 in 2014-5 after the bubble. So it's pretty similar.

75% of my bank account worth.

Got so depressed when it tanked to $180 I ignored it and didn't even buy.

After months I got myself in order and started to buy every month.

Yes of course it ended up paying off down the road as I made 100x 5 years later but where the real value it gave me was the insight and knowledge to take advantage of the opportunity in 2016-17

I recognized the trend and bought 2000 ETH for under a dollar and sold above $800-&1100

That's where you'll make your money anon, 5 years from now you'll be ready. When everyone else has forgotten youll be ready.

I believe in you

How many coins were there when you bought 2000 eth? It's a different market now with dozens of eth clones. One of them will probably make it like eth but which one? OP better have the right lottery ticket to make back that sort of loss

You’re a gambling addict. How are you going to hide this? She’s going to fucking kill you.

I bought ETH because it was the only other coin on coinbase.

Seemed logical as thats where the volume is/was in the past.

Same reason I bought LTC when it was added

In 2014 there was a lot of coins on BTC-E. If we get another long dead period 99% will die.

If we go super low or flat I'm going to pick the ones on coinbase like before.

The only weird vapor ware I have right now is Aeternity

A bit related but funny, during the bullrun I completely lost my sex drive. I remember her actually starting things and me just rolling around and opening blockfolio to bathe in the green lights.
