Going through a similar experience.

I started trading crypto in my junior year of high school and got fairly good at it. At my peak I had close to $100,000 which I think was pretty decent considering how little I started out with. But crypto was all I focused on at that point so school, work, and other aspects of my life really suffered. Fast forward to now and I just finished high school but only have $3,000 to my name and am lacking any direction in my life right now. I'm not even starting college yet because I feel so lost. I have made some really really bad decisions/investments.

>realize I wasted all of my time
This hurts the most. Other kids got jobs and bought cars, vacations, etc.; but I have absolutely nothing to show for all that time I put in. And the market is just so shit right now I don't even want to try trading again. Gonna use my last 3 grand to bet on sport matches because I am not smart.

This so much. The time aspect is killing me. How could I waste 1.5 years of my VERY early 20 so recklessly. I didn't do anything but working on crypto related stuff/sites, trading, flipping ICOs, investing.

All for nothing, paired with a lot of dead dreams.

If I would be an Americuck I would just buy a gun and blow my brain out

You learned a lot more than most of your peers. Making a lot of money and then losing most of it is a healthy experience to have had.
Check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/Learned-Million-Columbia-Business-Publishing/dp/0231164688

Will help many crypto bagholders cope with their losses.

>realize I wasted all of my time

Many will lose many of their shekels in a decade or two when they fall for some obvious stock market scam.
You and most cryptofags will probably have learned their lesson in 2017-2018 and wont fall for scams so easily.

Btw check out the uranium, battery metals markets and gold in the Pilbara, where a New Witswatersrand has been found.

Not even a lot, maybe 50k USD. But at the time I felt like I was on the brink of making it and just needed one more good trade to get rich. Even when I just had 10k I thought I just needed to go 10x once to make it.

I don't know, it's fucked up. I'm not even dumb, I have performed well academically my entire life.

One thing I have learned from this experience, and it's the fact that TA is basically a complete meme. I literally spent 2 years of my life learning TA and applying it.

Only thing it does is it makes you believe the random gamble you're making with your money has some kind of substantial analysis behind it. Which it really doesn't.

TA simply has no predictive ability. Price action is basically completely random.

25k but the the most part of the 80k I still have was earned outside of crypto. It doesn't even matter. I was over 350k in crypto alone and probably around 400k total. It's done, everything's falling apart and so is my sanity.

Interesting perspective, anon. I'd like to hear about your risk management strategies.
Oh whats that? You went all-in on random shitcoins whenever they "hit support"?
TA is only useful if you're not a brainlet.

TA works if there's real fundamentals.
Shitcoins prices weren't based on fundamentals, only on faith in blockchain which really was just a form of the greater fool theory. When people lost faith the whole house of cards fell apart.

I wasn't legally allowed to use any exchanges when I first started trading because I was under 18. But coinbase was a bit more lenient with rules/verification back then. I could purchase and sell a decent amount of BTC without an ID or any verification. By the time I made that much money I was still underage but coinbase really tightened regulations so I was no longer able to sell my bitcoin for USD. That was my only way of cashing out and at the time I really didn't want to experiment with other methods (like localBTC). I really wish there were more things to purchase with crypto.

TA and risk management is literally the only thing that works.
Anyone using good long term TA and good risk management got out in Jan or before.

Also crypto really fucked my sense of time:value ratio.

Before I started trading my main source of income was flipping things from thrift stores on ebay or amazon. I only made about a $1000 per month but it was steady and reliable. When I got into crypto it was a bullish time so I was making money quickly and easily. I eventually stopped flipping things altogether because I was delusional and thought that ez crypto money would last forever. Waking up and seeing you've made $2000 overnight on one coin really fucks with your perspective and priorities. I don't want to get a job now and make $10/hr when I used to make 10x that in half the time. I can't even slightly grasp how people can work these shitty jobs. Nothing is more depressing.
