in 2017 i made a lot of money in the bullrun. I put like 1k into BTC when Coinbase came out and forgot about it. Then i moved that into some alts and eded up with around 6 BTC by end of bullrun.
Eventually i discovered LINK on here but only came to realize it was good around may 2018. My plan was to accumulate BTC and go into LINK big later. I was still holding other alts like a pleb newb.

anyway around Aug 2018 i was faced with a choice. I could have got 200k Link instantly, and held. I knew LINK was all i needed. But i got greedy. I thought i could trade BTC on Bitmex and then buy link later with gains and get more Link.
I did well on Mex. I traded up to 8 BTC. Then i suffered a few losses. eventually I had only 1.7 btc left. Lesson learned.
This was around April 2019. I finally decided I couldn't risk it anymore, and i put it all into Link. I got myself around 14k Link.

This still haunts me. I could have had 200k Link if i wasn't such a greedy bastard. This is why I don't even swing trade Link or anything now.

How the fuck do i get over this

I don't think it's possible to get over it, but maybe it will hurt less with time. I hope so at least.

I could have had 500k link but I was a greedy B after I made $80k in kucoin. Now I have 50k link. But I’m ok with it, if we can get to $50 a link I can retire still.

The worst part is that I finally just accepted I couldn't risk it anymore and bought Link only a few days before mainnet was announced. I could ended up with a fraction of what I have now.

I mean 14k Is a bit more than a suicide stack at least but i don't think i'll get over this.
I just want other anons to learn from me. Seriously. This is one of those things you get warned about but have to learn for yourself. DON'T.
It feels like nothing can go wrong when you make gains swinging or whatever, but then it does. suddenly. and then unpredictable shit happens.

ive lost money before on bitmex (and i mean lots of it). i was a degenerate filthy retard. after 2 1/2 yrs of watching the btc chart, i refined my riskmanagement and strategy. for 2 months now my strategy seems to pay off. i literally feel like i cracked the code, the feeling of closing some of my positions literally feels better than nutting in prime teen pussy

tldr: have an autist mindset to learn things and dont give up trying i guess

you don't
you never forget it
and you never make the same mistake again
be grateful for the lesson and grow from it
if this didn't happen to you then you'd still be that stupid greedy bastard you were back in 2018
embrace the pain and use it to make yourself into a better person

I have. Thats why I don't swing trade link. ever. I think many linkies are playing with a time bomb by doing it. In fact i saw last year on google pump and coinbase pump. so many got fucked. I felt bad for them. all the "TA" was correct, and it didnt have any reason to pump after mainnet, so they shorted. kept going up, no big deal they added more sells. then google randomly tweet and they lost literally everything they worked so hard for swinging for months.
The salt was crazy.

That kind of random event can happen at any time.
Hell, In november 2018 I had a 450,000 USD contract short on bitmex, around 10x leverage at 6516
It went straight to 3k not long after. What happened?
I tried to add shorts at 6450, and i fat fingered it and closed the entire position.
Of course i wasn't going to reshort instantly because that would have been a bad idea.... but.

Any number of these things can happen.

I know I was there enjoying it
you reap what you sow and swinglinkers will always lose in the long run
they're only ever as good as their last trade, and not all trades are winners, particularly in this market where news can come out of nowhere like a freight train

Or you can even just do a fat finger like me by accident.
Like that faggot market bought Link last year and sent the price up to almost 1000 USD.

most people don't
the biggest source of problems in the lives of slaves is their inability to delay gratification
they are incapable of sacrificing in the present for the future and if they do, they usually half-ass it and look for shortcuts immediately
it's no way to live

Let it go man. There are a million missed opportunities. Stop being a bitch and learn from your mistakes. 14k is small but not embarrassing.

the fuck up part is i do pass the marshmallow test in my life. I live pretty frugal, delayed gratification all the time.
I think i was just inexperienced with trading and deluded. thats why i made those costly mistakes.

it's easy to get greedy and impatient and euphoric
it's hard to be clear headed and focused, particularly when the emotions of masses of people are so easily manipulated via social media (((feeds)))
