I know I'm not the only one here, how do you guys cope? Obviously you can't make all the right moves. After 6 years in crypto and having put probably ~$100k in I have managed to get a measly 4.5x total. Made too many wrong moves. Not selling LINK of course one of them, but at one point I could have swapped my whole portfolio for over 2,000 ETH and I sat there with my finger hovering over my mouse and didn't.

There are so many dumb fucking things I did which kept me from being retired right now.

Ever since the last dump I am on a never ending roller coaster where the lows are pretty severe depression where I can barely get out of bed and the highs are just like "ok, I can get through this day". I haven't felt joy in 2 fucking years.

I've tried starting businesses (failed), tried indulging in my hobbies more (just make me sadder because I could have been doing them full time), tried just accepting this is my life (miserable), tried accepting this is my life BUT JUST FOR RIGHT NOW (cope cope cope wagie).

How the FUCK do you guys get through the days? What am I missing? I can't do this another 40 years, I just fucking can't.

Make meaningful steps towards setting up a life that is self sustaining and by that I mean not relying on having to work large hours to float your life. I made far less than you on crypto, but invested it into things that make me feel more secure. I've also been able to take bigger risks at my job because of having that security, and that are starting to pan out. Can't put all your eggs in one basket. Just keep putting yourself in a position to win and have some contingency plans lined up. I could be a part time bar tender and float a decent lifestyle and continue to save and make progress.

A really easy one to take care of is shelter. Get a duplex or multifamily located near a good school district or university. You'll have stable rents and be able to live for virtually no money.

Then you can continue taking risks with investing and your career and not feel as hopeless.

5htp, sunshine, and red pilling normies on kikes in YouTube comments gets me through each day

For me, the only thing I enjoy is getting high & drunk and overeating junk food. I wage and save so that I can have one last hoorah where I just play vidya, eat like shit, and stay high for months on end, then use my 9mm pension plan when I run out of money.

That's what I tell myself anyway, probably will work till I'm 65 then die of a heart attack

Here is the thing anon, you only think about this that you would do better in hindsight not about the things you could have done worse in hindsight.

You took the risk to invest 100k in a very risky asset class and even made an 4.5x. That would take you 20 years in the stock market.

Be grateful, your better of then 99,99% of the population.

I like the duplex idea but I have a home, thinking of selling it though. I'm not sure about diversifying out of crypto, it still feels like the most likely path to making it... but I am pretty tired of the stress.

>>54536173
I don't like Youtube and I am Jewish so this probably won't work for me

>>54536243
>9mm pension plan
Don't do that anon, we can get out of this darkness together.

>>54536280
Good luck, anon

>>54536398
This is all true, I should be thankful. I probably just need to get a different job so I'm less miserable in the wage cage.

I think i started in crypto one cycle ahead of you (i started at the absolute top in 2014 when doge launched)
back when i was a wagie waiting for the next cycle i got through the days by being as good at my job as possible. i found that it took more effort to try to slack off than to be very good at the job. this wont work at all if you have a bullshit email job though, that will be hell regardless of what you do. now im retired. hope that helps

Interesting lens, appreciate it. So maybe just dive into my shit job harder vs. trying to emotionally escape it?

Which cycle did you make it in and what's your take on the future?
