This past week, I've found out the hard way that the nolinker and swinger memes aren't just memes. Almost every waking moment I want to scream, throw up, and cry at the same time. 2 days before link shot up to $2.14, I had a small stack of 537. I'm a poorfag, so this was something. Decided to swing the stack, sold it all to chase the rumored UOS pump from Korea Blockchain week. Nothing happened, so I would just withdraw and get my link stack back right? Wrong. My Shitfinex acc got flagged, got hit with kyc, can't withdraw. Then link hits ~2.47. Now it's ~$2.67, and it won't be long till it hits $3+ with all the staking and intel news. This was my ticket, man. I believed in Link, still do, but I missed the moon mission by greedily chasing a pump. Now my funds are stuck. I contemplate suicide everyday, among other reasons, and my brain is constantly trying to cope and doing mental gymnastics. I've refocused my attention to League instead of working out or dreaming of paying off my parent's house. Worst part is, I've told them about my investments, they've been supportive, and now I don't have the guts to tell them that a chink exchange fleeced me after I told them "I'll always be careful not to get scammed." I rant here because I'm scared of telling this to anyone irl. I need catharsis. Opening up here helps, and I'm sure some of you understand what this feels like. For those that got out of this mental and financial hole, share your experiences. Let's not be lonely right now.

This was me after the google tweet. I was at work when it went out and felt sick to my stomach. Had to leave work early and go home so I could immediately but some link. Sold off some HOT and ZIL. Best decision I ever made. I'm a 1.5k LINKlet but it's better than being a noLINKer.

this is why i finally stopped replying to obvious bait threads about how X is better than chainlink and about how sucessful swingtraders really are.

you guys are all about a bunch of pathetic losers with not even 1k stack trying to justify yourselves amongst the only other losers that will listen to you. meanwhile the people who fucked off this board with 50k stacks are generating more links from interest alone.

understand that you completely deserve to get fucked for shitting up this board with your garbage posting. you shit on normies all the time about how blind they are yet you squander the only opportunity you'll ever have.

Some of you just aren't meant to make it. I can never sell more than 10% of my stack. I couldn't sell at $4 so I most likely will not sell at $2.5. The moment you sell a big part of your stack, anything can happen. Doesn't matter how small the chance is, it can still happen. Google out of nowhere, Intel out of nowhere. This is my chance to make it. Why should I fuck it up just to maybe increase my stack by 10-30%? 20k LINK is enough for me. I will never sell a big part of my stack unless LINK is at $500 at which point I'll stake my linkies if the return is about 8% a year.

relax friend. there is not ONE SINGLE coin in the entire cryptosphere that holds its value and doesnt go back down. im not saying it will stop mooning today or tomorrow, or even next week, but eventually, it will have a horrible stretch and lose 20% of its value. no coin is immune to it. the key is to be ready and have money waiting for when a catastrophic dump happens, so you can scoop up a bunch

Went through same mistake op. Greed is what will actually end up making most swing linkers or even holders in general from making it soon.

I had enough BTC last summer for around 300k Link. I had done well in the bullrun, and the more i considered smart contracts and blockchain the more i realsied what bullshit it all was. i realsied the oracle problem without knowing terminology and official constructs for it. i didnt know what an Oracle was, but i knew we needed such a thing, and i knew we needed it in such a way to be decentralized or what was the fucking point. I sold all alts after this. Then i found LINK on biz and realised such a thing existed. I wanted to go all in on it.
I waited to buy it. got some around 0.00003 sats in the summer. had 300k Linkies.

Then i got into bitmex. retarded me thought i could flip my stack on mex with btc by mainnet and get more. how fucking greedy. I did well, managed to 3x on mex before it all went crashing down.
Finally gave in to my losses around Febuary. Decided to just get LINK. now i only have a 90K stack, but im keeping this baby and learned my error.

dont be a retard. we both learned the hard way.

As of this point, I can't. By the time I can this month, who knows how high it'll be. Still though, I'd rather have at least 200 than none at all. It was a risk, and I wouldn't have swung if I knew about bitfinex

Anyway OP. 500 links is fuck all.
Go get a fucking job. do manual labor. You can earn like 1000-2000$ bucks a month easily. Even if link doubles you can get your stac back.

Serously. here you are crying about how you may have flushed your ticket of a lifetime, but there is a VERY simply short term answer to it but will you do it? i doubt it. work for 6 months doing such a job, invest a nice 10,000$ in link even if its 10$ by then you'll have way more than you stared with.

You are much more mortal than you realize.
