I wish I were making this up. The only silver lining is that I've lost the capacity to feel depression. That was months ago when I panic sold IOTAs local bottom at 41 cents after holding from 75 ( and watched it rise back to 78).

I made more money than I ever dreamed of making when I first invested. I thought I'd be lucky to make an extra 20k on top of my money back. I attribute my success to being a cautious investor, working hard, staying up trading at night when I'd rather have been sleeping, and I cashed out early enough that I didn't fuck myself over with greed like most people.

I was completely fucked before. No money, no job, no education, NEET living with parents. It has given me a new lease on life. I lost all my loser friends because they couldn't handle my success. I even got to rub my success in a girl's face. Some girl I was dating right when crypto started to moon rejected me, and the last time I ever saw her, I told her that I was heavily invested in Bitcoin. She didn't know what it was, and she was an economy degree graduate. I'm sure she had fun watching it go up and realizing she missed her gravy train, she was Chinese and extremely materialistic

Pic related, she looked like this voice actress

You can't predict accurately BTCs movements. You're currently missing out on huge gains if you knew where BTC would be before it spikes or crashes
