Did go from 500$ to 150k (probably way more than i could even make in my life by working since I'm a highschool dropout) by trading cryptos for 2 years now (ye I know i'm kinda slow).

And lost ~96 % of it on FTX.

How do I actually cope with that ? it's not like I have kids and much responsibilities but fkin going from "yay on my way to get that fkn house for my old mother and realize the wish she's been praying almost her whole life" before giving into reality and realize I'm not even allowed to just fkin make her proud ONCE and make up for all my past mistakes.

I actually can't believe this is my life rn. I knew I was a failure, but till now I believed I could change that through my actions. It just took one dumb mistake to loose everything. I've failed once more.

I've never told her about anything or how much I had b4 the ftx shitshow she's not the problem as I always thought I could lose everything and was prepared for it, but never prepared for that at all.

The problem is I don't know how to cope with the fact that these past 2 years of stress and hopes were all meaningless.

It actually doesn't feel real at all, my mind is blurry af, i'm getting paranoid about every sms I receive, asking myself if everything I see is not the byproduct of my imagination, that maybe I'm just in a state of comatose and all of these is actually unreal. Feels like a dream that drifted to a nightmare.

Man, if all of this is real, that hurts so much. For the first time in YEARS I've actually cried like a kid. It was all for nothing.

Thank you for having read me, I really had to externalize that.

just remember the famous cope

if you can do it once you can do it again, op.

its why someone like bill hwang still has a job

the important part is that you don't give up and don't stop trying

It probably sounds dismissive to hear this sometimes extreme hardship can end up benefitting you in a roundabout way.

Are these threads made by bots or? It's like I'm reading the same thread over and over again.

I don't know if someone is purposefully making these threads to make me FOMO in hard with all my cash, in any case I'm really close to doing exactly that

Do you mean you were keeping it on the exchange, or do you mean you went all in on FTT for some reason?

What's the point of making it if we all are going to die.

sorry dude. you could try to bottle this up very deep down within you and occupy yourself with shit. maybe a hobby or sportsclub. the usual 'not your keys not your crypto' advice, won't give you peace rn. consider the 2 years as 3.3 % of your life. so there is still enough of the rest to enjoy and try better next time, you did it once already and did better than most of all others (except the loosing of it all in the end)

You still have $6K, In march 2020 i had $1000 after peaking at 40K in jan 2018, Then i peaked again in may 2021 at 500K, x500 from march 2020 bottom in what appeared to be the worst bull market ever.

Lost 94% of that and now i'm closer to 4 fig than 5 kek, but i know that in the bull market things can shift very quickly, Crypto is undervalued, BTC fair value should at least be 40-50K rightnow and some blue chips alts are mispriced by at least x10, Ethereum is the only solid project that's valued fairly desu

Now it's the time to do some research (Even if the whole market dump another -50%, Now it's still a x100+ buy zone), pick some solid alts and wait 2 years

man how do you just leave 150k on an exchange

like i get nervous leaving 3-4k on my exchange accounts and thats on top of me being hypersecure

like i dont want to be too hard on you but this really is an absurd fuckup

i could comfort you by telling you you can just do it all again, but the liklihood you can do that again is very low
