After spending 5 years in Crypto I am out. Yesterdays crash was brutal, and something I cant wrap my mind around changed when I woke up this morning. I don't want to wage-cuck but I will. And instead of spending my entire days behind a screen in a room I am gonna get a job, hang out with the friends that I have been neglecting and just be a cucked member of society. There's also this roastie who wants my attention, and I figure if friends, gf, job and /fit/ gains somehow all line up; I will be set for life regardless of the finances. 180k at my peak, 10k now, cashed out 25k along the way. Wouldn't know what to do with the 180k if I got there again. Dreadful. But I learned many important lessons.

I figure I'd say goodbye to the board which kept me entertained for the past 2 years.
Leaving 40$ in ETH & MKR since I CBA to cash

I had 5 years of maximum freedom, for now I'll be a slave, idc. I'll probably get fired from every job I get too. In Europe, so jobs are pretty easy to come by, as well as social benefits in between. Basic income being trialed in my city even! I am well aware of the pitfalls too. Crypto isn't going away and I will probably miss the next rally. But I don't want to make my life about that. Most of my friends will profit of my advise though, cool.

I am addicted to this shit. I need to step away and do something else, just like WoW was 5-6 years back, Crypto is dictating my daily life. Its not healthy and its damaging relationships with friends, family; and mentally its taking its toll too. Maybe i will just a break, but at this point not intending to come back for some time.

Please show me the graph where it displays the stress levels of a NEET holding 10k in Crypto without any income, savings or safety net, all the way down to that 99 out of 100 chance of running completely broke a week before the actual golden bull run starts. I'll rather be completely out than have that happen. The chance of me making more money by the time an actual confirmed bull run starts, I will have more money from wage cucking too....

I got into crypto in 2017 and after I realized what I had missed not getting in earlier I've been thinking about suicide every single day. I'm the opposite of OP in the sense that I don't mind sitting in my room most of the time and just the idea of wagecucking makes stressed as fuck. This shit would've been perfect for me. Every single minute of every single day I wish I had known about this shit earlier.

>> No.10978816

Wagie please. As a NEET I'm not bound by social norms and don't have idiotic expenses like $12/beers with other wagies after work. My rent is $500/month, thats less than twenty bucks per day I need to make online without touching my crypto stack. I cook for myself, and exercise three times a week, around two hours each + an hour in the pool sometimes. I can do whatever the fuck I want, and don't have "performance" reviews hanging over my head every quarter.

>> No.10978831

Unless you absolutely need the 10k right now just keep it in corn on cold storage. But a smallish fraction of it into XTZ, XMR or/and ZEC. Delete your blockfolio and come back in 5 years

Seems like you know crypto is going to have another boom. Why not keep 1 BTC and a few XMR, never look at cryptos until 2021 or 2025?

You still get to live a normal wagecuck life and still have a lottery ticket that could be more than several years of wage cuck savings in a few years.

I actually have 11 XMR in a locked_transfer I can't get out until somewhere in 2019. Maybe that'll mean something around that time. Other than that, I need a total disconnect from Crypto, time around friends and time around this girl without feeling the need to check blockfolio every 30 minutes. Might pump some of my salary back in when the time is right.

You're doing the right thing. I'm assuming you're in EU Europe where there are good benefits if you lose your job? Your best bet is to get a job that pays very well (if you don't have a skillset that allows you to do that, I believe the EU countries typically have some sort of government benefit that allows citizens to train up to get better paying jobs) and be prudent with your money. If you carefully invest it (alas, we're in a global bubble) in real investments, you can amass quite a bit money in 10 or 15 years. Not only that, you're practically guaranteed to amass at least a fair amount of money. There is no such guarantee in the cryptocurrency casino.

yep! I'll see where it gets me. There are quite some guarantees here.

>>10979155

I wasn't exactly clear here. I cashed out 25k from my 180k peak 2017/2018. But the years before that I just cashed out bit by bit every month to pay bills. In April/May I was down to my last 7.5k and about to look for a job and the bull run started. ETH > BCH > XMR > AEON > ADA> FCT . Those where my moon missions. Then all the way down to where I now am. I did not keep track of everything that went out, over a 5 year period its quite a bit more than 120k...

I still can't get out of crypto completely but it helps me stay away for long periods. Weeks. Now when I get in, I've been catching it on the upswing, making some money and cashing out. The other crypto, I have no choice but to hold. Lock some more up and forget about it.

Good luck faggot. I think it is a good decision. I've been in crypto since 2012, FBI got my 17 BTC in Silk Road, I got goxxed for 15 BTC, I had 2 BTC left in paper wallet. I said fuck it. In August 2017 I came back to crypto. Made 2 BTC 40 and lost more than half of it in 2018. I've been trading full time since May but I'm starting to realize that this isn't the life I want. It is unsatisfying and really consuming me. I started looking for jobs at NGOs. I want to be fulfilled by doing some good to this fucked up place and not live only for making money. I will keep a certain amount in BTC and XMR in cold wallets and chase a more fulfilling life. If I were you, I would leave 1 BTC for myself. It might end up going to 1k but it also might end up going to 1 million.
