Remember when your life was normal?

When your money was safe in your bank account?
When your days weren't consumed by nervously watching charts?
When you weren't afraid to go to sleep, fearing you'd miss a moon mission?
When paranoia didn't eat away at your psyche?

It's not too late to go back, /biz/.

I was happy before this. Had friends, girls, social life. Now I only get slight happiness from the green I wake up to.

I have to get off this ride soon. My life is drifting past me as I drag up the refresh on blockfolio for the 40 time in a minute.

Cash out?
You can always come back.

You'll tip into outright suicide if there's a massive dip next week and if it skyrockets...hey man, you've got 500k

I don't want to miss out on a potential once in a lifetime opportunity. Thought I'd made it when I worked hard to get this well paying job, only to realise even my six figure colleagues weren't actually rich. I don't even care when I goes down 20/30/50k in a day. Just become more obsessed until it goes back up

OP is trying to buy the dip

But any money taken out could be worth 10x or 100x in a year. It will never be worth that much to me as cash today because other than a house I don't need to buy anything & atm I'm working in another city and live in a serviced apartment for free.

>> No.4976729

Actually I really wouldn't want to go back. I'm not being a fuckwit and throwing my money all over hoping to make a couple extra bucks in a day. I'm letting what I can afford to lose sit in various places, not paying attention to dips or whatever and enjoying the gains. I'm up like $400 over the last month. This was the first Monday in 2 years that I didn't make some unnecessary outburst of anger when I got in my car to go to work.

I cashed out my initial investment + 50% in profits just to relieve stress. I roughly tripled my initial investment in 3 weeks but I literally don't work out anymore, am distracted at work and hate thinking about it all the time.

Now that I've gotten my initial investment and a decent chunk of profit cashed out, I've felt a lot a better, like trading monopoly money. It no longer feels like "my" money. It just werks.

not since 9/11, the invention of social media, and the rapid decline of moral values in todays society. i blame nothing on myself and everything on those in power. only thing left to do, acquire online tokens of wealth, and dismantle those in current positions of power.
only then, will the rest of us be able to live normal lives again

>> No.4977278

I cashed out when Bitcoin was at 11k hoping to go back to a stress free life. But then Bitcoin kept going up and I started worrying that my actual fiat dollars would become worthless while crypto became the future.

I lasted like four days cashed out before I bought back in. In the time Bitcoin went from 11k to 17k. I bought back in all in ETH though because I'm not a retard and Bitcoin is going to correct soon.

The point I'm trying to make is you will never sleep again no matter what you do.

sounds like you're doing the right thing. Sometimes life has hard stretches that you'll be thankful you withstood. My advice would be to throw some money into promising projects like LINK and REQ, keep a little money aside for trading shitcoins, and diversify the rest between eth, bct, monero. Don't let yourself spend too much time on the charts. start exercising for an hour a day, at a real gym, and learn to cook some good food. the charts will do what they were going to do regardless of if you're watching them or not, so make some smart long term investments and work a bit on improving your lifestyle with exercise, cooking, and a hobby or 2. get off the computer
