Look, I'm not complaining because I started with a 40k investment back in Jan 2017 which turned into an ATH of 1.4MM in December 2017.
Throughout the entire process until now, I've only cashed out 600k, but almost 1/3th of that went to taxes.
So obviously I didn't cash out when I hit 1.4MM, I really thought it was going to go to 3-4MM very soon. That's a dumb mistake but I guess sort of reasonable considering my inexperience with investing (basically zero experience)
However, two more times I had the opportunity to buy something. Like I ALMOST did it, was about to press the button, but didn't. These TWO times would have each made me a millionaire again.
Can someone explain the psychology of how to deal with this to me? It's giving me crazy anxiety and I can't fucking rationalize it anymore. I know I did kind of well compared to some people in crypto but then again so many millionaires were created and I missed my chance THREE TIMES. I feel like a fucking idiot. I'm 29 and if I had made those three moves correctly in a row, I'd be worth like 10+ million dollars right now and be retired instead of only having a networth of like 300k (spent like 100k on stuff). I should be grateful but it's just fucking insane to think about. Anyone have experience with this?
The only comforting story I've heard is that the guy who started victoria's secret sold it for 5 million then killed himself once the company became worth billions, though that's not technically comforting because it's the reason I DIDN'T sell basically... I was thinking, "fuck if this goes to 10-20 million and I sell, I'll feel like killing myself", however, I also now feel like killing myself (I say this jokingly, but I really do feel fucking terrible). Advice??

OP let this be a lesson learned and heed my words. When cashing out with crypto you don't know if it's going to skyrocket or retrace at the ATH. You ALWAYS sell 75% at your target and then keep 25% to see what happens. For example.

Just buy shit, assume you lost the money and buy more. You can’t cash out, that’s the only way to win this game, you don’t become a Fortnite Pro by switching to Apex Legends.

Sure thing. Fate or Destiny or whatever you call it is real and I mean REAL. You were always going to be where you are and you will always be where you go in the future. The brain is subject to classical physics and classical physics are deterministic. We are basically living in a math program. You would have always made your choices because of your brain chemistry and the physics at that time.

Better to miss opportunity than lose your equity.
Also, why not make some really small investments, that will give you experience and in case of loss it won't hurt your wallet?
It seems to me that you didn't really invest but gambled, and happened to win. You should probably hand (at least) half of your money to a professional. I bet you're dumb enough to lose or spend it all.

Advice on how to cope realizing you lost multiple shots are a shitload of money?
Probably but enlightening yourself and realizing the true redpill—that money does not equate happiness and you should look towards other venues on how to improve your soul, not your body.
