I blew 8k this weekend on shit coins. Started with $100 and the UNI airdrop, had portfolio up to just under 10k. Now I have no idea where to restart.

Buy a non shit coin like SKALE or ZRX.

You tell yourself that you still have opportunities in the future and that you're not going to make the same mistakes again. It's of course cope, but at least it gets you through the anxiety.

Shit coins are no different from gambling. Once you win put your money in safer investments

I had 70k at the peak of the defi craze in august, from an initial 8k investement.
Then I became too greedy and blew 5 bitcoins away by playing with margin. I felt like shit for like 2 weeks (those would be worth close to $100k right now).
But you eventually get over it. I still have a portfolio worth $25k, which is still 3x my initial investment and I already cashed out $5k, and all my coins have been going up a lot.

I definitely learnt some important lessons about risk management: don't get too greedy and cash out some profits on the way up, don't try to counter trade to try to get your money back after a bad trade and avoid playing with margin as much as possible.

>how to deal with losing money on shitcoins
i'm not sure i understand your question. this is what shitcoins are designed to do...
somewhere there is someone else that just converted your shitcoin stack into bitcoin. that person is designing another shitcoin right now as we speak.

Only time I ever took a loss was back in March when I played with stock options. The easiest way to recover from losses is to not take losses in the first place, by only investing in solid projects and not selling when you're in the red.

Read some books on investing: The Richest Man in Babylon, The Intelligent Investor, etc.

You just have to accept that you got scammed and move on, i invested into a scam that McAfee promoted named SAFEX, lost it all, about 8 BTC.
Right now i work delivering food to wealthy people, i am psychologically destroyed.

Do you see exactly where you should have realized it was a scam? You can sue people for shit like that you know.

Good luck suing a guy who lives on a fucking boat and is famous for finding 10 bilion law loopholes to get away with his shit.

You can still sue him and get a judgment against him. It's far more likely he'll settle out of court than try to dodge justice in his boat, that's a great way to get picked up by the coasties.
