OK thanks for the comment but can you please stop posting these whores. I'm doing nofap and you're making it really difficult.

>>25560338
>currently can sell for about 2 BTC
so you literally get another fucking chance to fully redeem yourself getting your initial investment in btc back
and you fuck it up like a degenerate
ngmi faggot, just take your 2 fucking btc and never fucking sell jesus christ

>>25560338
You have to stop gambling, buy a hardware wallet and pull them off exchange until it's time to sell.
Just focus on that one single trade for this bull run (I recommend doing reverse DCA), let the past be the past and you'll come back stronger.

My family gave me a good understanding of how to make money for money. Unlike my gfs pleb family whose idea of making money is “FOMO real estate” or “start a business cuz then you won’t work for anyone”.

started fucking around with it at 28
i bought .03 btc at 1400$/btc ive tried calling tops and bottoms and I still have .03 btc. Ive turned 1k into 2k over 6 years at most ive been up 3k. Friend bought 300$ worth at same time doesn't know fuck all anything about crypto hes up 6x.I am a special kind of stupid mid wit. If I was dumb like my friend Id have at least 10-20k, but na I try to do research and panic buy after the run is over.

at one point I was down 300 thousand, and about 12k debt.
Link, Bitcoin got me back up and then some.
cashed out about 9 million in 2020 doing another ~10 mil this year.
it's been a tough couple years OP, but don't give up. Just unironically mortgage your future to gamble on your present in spectacular fashion.
Be ready to kill yourself if it falls apart.

51, 1 year. How many Link for a gf like the one in the OP pic?

>>25561407

I'm cashing out 10 million BTC this year, on top of the 9 million BTC i cashed out last year.
I like you though so gunna do the whale thing and let /biz/ know when i decide to crash this market with no survivors.

>>25560565

>Invested €8k in crypto Dec 2017 - Jan 2018 (mostly LTC and shitcoins that lost 90% value)
>Invested another €7k in 2019 between April-September (All BTC & ETH)

December 2020 invested €7k (BTC,ETH,GRT)

Keeping €5k in savings

I'm up about €18k if I sold all of my coins today

>>25561972
Trading 212, I'm in the UK.
Haha yeah I need help with everything. Will wait until I get a better grasp on things before sinking all my savings into ti.
Just want to learn what to do, how to decide what to buy, strategy for when to buy, sell, hold, etc.
Also want to start looking into crypto but looking at /biz/ it seems like there's a lot of options and they seem even harder to research than funds/stocks.

If you actually know good resources for a complete beginner I'd appreciate it.

Absolutely based
How much did you end up making? I made a few thousand pounds doing that a few years ago.
Not sure if it's still possible but would love to do that again. Was just so fun.

>2013
HS econ teacher talks about bitcoin
Go home download a wallet, what the fuck is this shit?
Sign up for Mt Gox but too dumb to buy (in retrospect amazing choice, I signed up like 2 days after they stopped withdrawals because of "technical" issues)

>19
>2014
Heard about darknet want to check it out
Sign up with coinbase bought a few btc for fun (Btc around $600)
Too scared to actually tumble coins and receiving drugs in the mail

>20

Buy 20 btc with 5k I saved up from summer job (Btc around $250)
Act like a fucking nerd at parties shilling btc

>21

Pretty boring year until Btc hits previous ath of $1k EOY

I FUCKING SOLD EVERYTHING

>22
>2017
Frantically try to buy eth and a bit of btc back
Hit the altcoin goldmine, portfolio grows to 200k
Participate in every ICO under the sun
Portfolio balloons to 450k, finally surpassing 20btc value

>23 - 25
>2018 - 2020
HODL EVERYTHING FOR LIFE BECAUSE I'M NEVER EVER SELLING AGAIN

My portfolio is now worth measly 5 btc. Would've saved myself a lot of trouble if I didn't listen to my dad in 2016 or sold everything to btc at the height of 2017.

>22, Present time.

It's been a long ass fucking road man and i still feel like I haven't made it even tho I'm from eastern europe and my portfolio is like 10 years of the average salary. but i am very grateful and proud for what i have currently archived.

In his defense, the argument for holding Bitcoin back in 2016/2017 was a lot weaker than now. Hindsight is always 20/20.

>>25561582
/smg has some good suggestions.

if you want to YOLO some money checkout OTC traded stocks.

type OTC into t212. a bunch of stocks will come up. there's a reason why some are mooning hard. your not too late for say TLSS. then do your own research. what the company does etc.

best of luck pal
