i feel

>>14772110
This is a prison and the people here are not your friends

>>14772110
such is life in the zone.

>>14772110
Tell us how anon. Tell us why. It's not too late to go back

>>14772279

lost everything...career, all my money, alienated the few friends I had by spending all day all night fixated on crypto and trading for years straight

>>14772147

This but about every scenario in which I am in even a mildly subservient position. The only difficult part being to make your outer appearance match the level of respect with which you regard yourself and your destiny. People make fun of all the cookie cutters in this world but life is a desperate and constant struggle to be recognized as the Young God King you really are on the inside.

>>14772147
I’m your friend buddy. Don’t fixate on crypto 24/7, it’s a bad mindset for investing regardless. You are going to make it

>>14772373
we need more details than that
did you get liquidated on bitmex, overtrade, gamble on shitcoins, gamble on tronbet, what happened

>>14772110
No it didn’t. You could have been a workslave for the rest of your life. Instead your self-aware of your financial situation and I’m assuming you’ve been putting it into crypto and other decent investments instead of blowing it all on booze and nights at the club.

You’ve got this anon.

FOMO'd into bitcoin near the peak of the bulll run, held like an idiot and then panic sold around 5k, chased a bunch of alts to try and make up for it, got burned even more. sitting on worthless bags

>>14772384
Jesus fucking Christ you faggots, maybe reading/thinking shit like this is why all you fucks are in this position, text your friend(s) and talk about something real in life, not how much money you can get so you can buy materialistic bullshit and then feel hollow when you have nothing to enjoy it with (aka the oldfag neets here who /made it/). You guys are unironically nihilistic and self-pitying as shit, the more time you spend on here and not engaging in the world, the more it’ll poison you. Because the world and time keeps on going with or without you being consciously present. Niggers

>>14772468
how did you lose your job from bagholding?

>>14772110
join the club

>>14772512

performance issues from coming in tired as fuck from being up all night anxiously watching charts

>>14772521
at least you aren't the digibyte guy

Same here bro, switched from chem to finance because of this board. Now I spend all my free time browsing this board when I'm not doing financial services at my work.

Feels like I'm gonna make it at the cost of my sanity

crypto is a meme

>>14772484
Also this. This board is grafted onto my brain. I spent an unhealthy amount of time on this board on my Saturday with no financial gain from doing so.

Hell I'm at the bar right now and in this personal hell.

>>14772484
This. Research shit and buy when you can or save for a dip, but don't forget to live. Enjoy the outdoors, spend time with your friends/family, pursue your passions. I check the Blockfolio like normies check their Zuckbook, buy every week with my wagecage paycheck, and shit post on here 4-5 hours a week. I used to watch the charts religiously, day trade in and out of shit, but it's too stressful. Not worth it. And easy to make a mistake and then gamble bigger to make up for it. Don't put in what you can't afford to lose. Research solid shit and just hold, maybe set some sells at your exit points so you don't even have to sweat that. Waiting around for "making it" will make life pass you by

>>14772147
Thats a really good comparison. You might buddy up with the people here but you can't ever trust them.

>>14772484

It's not about materialism, it's about projecting status, which is an incredibly valuable skill to have. I did not mean it in a shallow way. Your ranting about materialism and stuff makes you sound either young or broke. Go to Goodwill and buy a bunch of clothes, then go out to the bars in New Jersey. Then, try the same thing next weekend in designer clothes. I guarantee you you will see a night and day difference in how people recognize you and respect your personhood.

inb4 "buhhh i only hang out with people who don't see status" I suppose you do not see race, do not see physical attributes, cannot recognize mental aptitude etc.

TL;DR Nobody's talking to me like a frycook when I have lambo money, but also i'm not buying a lambo just to flex, so that leaves me with becoming a refined individual whose wealth is implicit.

>>14772540
>making it at the cost of sanity

This. It's why I hate when people try and pull me out of my own head. I feel like once I get comfortable in the despair I am on the brink of making it.

I cut myself at work the other day.

I thought:
>bleed for me wagie

I hate this place.

jesus christ

>>14772373
you have a gambling addiction. crypto is a meme. wake the fuck up. the sooner you accept that the value of these internet tokens is driven entirely by speculation and scams, the sooner you can pursue a feasible path to financial recovery. stop chasing deluded lambo dreams, abandon this basket weaving forum, and go be a real person with real friends.

>>14772643
Kekked out loud

>>14772484
I can't leave. I've been here on 4chan poisoning my mind for 12 years now, since I was 13 years old.

>>14772566
>This board is grafted onto my brain.
This but unironically. Sometimes at night when I'm half asleep I start browsing 4chan in my mind. It seems so real too, fucking weird.

>>14772626
Becoming socially isolated and trapped does not suddenly reverse itself because you have money. Nice clothes and a nice car don’t matter if you don’t even know how to talk to people like a normal fuckin person and you can’t even have a conversation with someone without being up crypto because you now know nothing else.
>>14772722
Almost the exact situation except I got the fuck off here when I was in late high school. I hated myself and the way I was before. I read threads like these and I’m reminded of times when my head was in a very dark place. I’ve been out of that mindset for years but it’s super fucking unsettling reading this shit. I’ve got great friends, a loving girlfriend and a solid support system now, and check crypto infrequently, but I can imagine a stark difference. I was actually kinda obsessed with bitcoin back in the day before this was a containment board. If I could keep the tens of bitcoins I used to have and trade my current situation for having gained nothing in the past 10 or 11 years, I’d never do it.

>>14772808
Also this is the normie way but at least I’m not halfway suicidal posting braps and contributing to threads like “what does it feel like”, fucking christ Im getting flashbacks to being 12 or 13 again

frens how do we stop using 4chan?
i blocked it but i just started using another browser
my positions are set in stone so its pointless.
i think i might have to literally move my home to change this habit

>>14772373
I'm guessing you're a linklet then...

>>14772843
What does it feel like though?

>>14772891
You don't, sorry. You're here forever.

>>14772110
you had no life

>>14772110
Nothing is beyond repair, Anon.

>>14773066
Lol, what is “no life” to you?

>>14772990
maybe he's a swinglinker

>>14772891
You literally cannot

>>14772110
Same. I used to have ambition before crypto, but after I got a taste of how easy it was to make money during the 2017 bull run (even though I ended up losing it all in the end) I lost all of my passion for having any kind of meaningful career. I don't ever even want to go back to work again. Crypto is the real black pill. I have literally ZERO fucking motivation to do anything useful with my life anymore, and the only thing keeping me from killing myself is the thought that maybe I'll get to fuck top tier escorts when I finally make it.

>>14772626
I think we have a new pasta.

>>14773241
Same boat as you bud. Got a taste of the gains riding raiblocks from $2k to $60 and all the way back down. Thankfully I bought some other random shitcoins with my gains now I’m up to $10k and am banking on either qnt or xsn to x100–1000 with $2500 in each and hoping for at least a x10 with the other 5k in btc
