2017 marine here. Had 18k last summer, got down to 10k because I was a NEET and had to sell to cover debts I had and stuff. Coronavirus scared me so I sold at 1.90. Then I fomo’d in with leverage at 3.30 3x. Don’t ask how, but I have only 3.5k LINK left. Should I even bother living at this point? Yes I deserve to be laughed at for my weak, shitty hands. Not a LARP. Go ahead, say what I need to hear. What should I do? Get a job and accumulate more? Continue going on leverage and long a bottom? Now what?

Thanks, you probably saved my life. The allure of leverage served me well originally because I made lots of LINK from it. The coronavirus drop screwed me though. Lesson learned.

No prob anon. And this is something Ive been working on as well, but do not let the possibility of all this money/FOMO control you. You were talking about suicide. None of the money is worth it if you cant learn to control yourself and learn to appreciate other things in life. Money is just one part. A large part, but just a part. Also as a Christian Id be remiss if I didnt say Jesus loves you and doesnt want that for you.
Anyways, just accumulate and hold, but if you dont get to 10k, its not worth hurting yourself over. Good luck anon.

Thanks for your kind words. I grew up Christian but do not practice currently. I really saw the Chainlink community as being one of the things I looked forward to everyday, and honestly, I got to a point where I felt invincible with Chainlink and thought I wouldn’t need a job ever again. This was probably the dose of reality I needed...it still hurts. It eats at my soul how much Chainlink I needlessly threw away. Anons here would kill for what I had, and I let it all slip away.

10k being the make it stack is basing it off the price at 1k a token for people living in first world countries. If it reaches 1k, it won't stop there.
3k link is enough to make you just have to wait longer to feel special.

Not going to be harsh when you're hurting enough. But this is a good lesson for all: do not swing your stack. It might work out a few times but you will get burnt.

But look, 3.5k will be a big stack in the future. The most important thing in life is how to react to setbacks and so get over yourself and focus on making things the best you can from here. Ie. being patient and putting any disposable income in to accumulate.

Don't sweat it. Mistakes are to learn from.
There are plenty of people who committed robbery, murder and plenty egregious sins/crimes. They also go coulda/shoulda/woulda.
You're treating yourself like a caged animal and it won't help you.
Work hard. Be good. Try your best.
The past is dead. You can't go back that way.

Would you want to be in a plane or boat where the pilot was looking back and complaining rather than looking forward and planning?
Then why would you want to live a life like that. It's never too late to change your life and yourself.
You made stupid financial decisions, so what? People way smarter and way more important than you have too.
You'll never be perfect so don't be hard on yourself for not being perfect. That's just retarded.

I'll probably only get to 5500-6000 linkies before the singularity.
If I timed every buy perfectly and swung my whole stack. I could have had 10k-20k linkies.
I could have invested in pot stocks and Ethereum in 2016-2017 when I was sure I was going to kill myself and didn't care about making it.
I could have invested in bitcoin when friends told me to in 2011-2013 and I was spending all my money on alcohol, cigarettes and drugs but I didn't.

Fire the engine up and start the graft my man. Dont think about the link you've lost. Thats gone and done. Learn from it. Leverage lost it. Leverage WONT bring it back.

You can do it anon. I know too. I had 62k link and 3.6 linkpool, and I lost it all at the btc drop in October 2018. Not a larp. I gave up on it. But now im back at a reasonable stack, and reasonable linkpool, and mansges to develop a whole new skillset which got me the money to buy link again.

Aim for 5k. Thats it. From there, you csn work up to 6, then 7.5k. If people are gonna make it from 10k, then theyfe gonna make it fro. 7.5k.

Also remember most posters here are younv degenerates with no life or goals, or hell even the ability to talk to people. Try to find God too if you can.

Not sure if you faggot still read this, but I hope you do.
I have a similar story.
I was here when LINK was 20 Cents, 50 Cents. I saw the Google Blogpost. I never bought. I somewhat understood what LINK is doing back then, but I never understood the implications of it untill very recently. Then suddenly I undertood how it will chanhe the world. You could call it a personal epiphany.
I was a student back then and could have easily bought 50,000 LINK. Let that sink in. Even at 50 cents I could have bought 25,000 LINK.
But I just didn't. I was scared. I lost money in scams in 2017 and turned away and checked biz only for the memes every few weeks. I saw Assblaster posts but I still didn't buy. I was about to pull the trigger at one point when we hit 17 Cents. But I told me "Study hard, money isn't everything anyway"
Well, long story short: I bought my 3000 LINK stack very recently at around $4
Then it crashed to $2
Once again I could have had at least 5000
You can debate this shit forever with yourself and cry and get demoralized from those with big stacks and not making the right decissions.
But I see it this way: This is not the end to everything. Who knows what we would have done with our 20,000 LINK when it hit $1000?
Never worked in our life?
Whoring around?
Being an arrogant duchebag?
We have a small stack, and that's for a reason.
God wants us to accomplish something by ourselves in this life.
LINK will hit $1000, no doubt.
We are ahead of so many people out there. It is a gift in itself. Wait two more years, work on yourself, get better and do something good.
Rather be sad now for a bit, instead of being suicidal for the rest of your life, once you spent 20 million dollar, because you could not have handled it properly. Take it as a lesson.
God bless you.

Inb4: Cope. I am not saying that 100k stacks will waste it. I am just saying that not everybody was meant to make hundreds of millions off LINK. There will come other chances our way.

Trips of wisdom. You have to reflect a little in your mistakes to drive correct behavior (no leverage, don’t swing, and DCA), but don’t spend too much time looking back or you’ll go insane and be bitter. There will always be more opportunities, just keep being more disciplined and don’t be a whiny bitch so you can capitalize on the next one.
