Anyone here made and lost hundreds of thousands or millions in the previous bull run? How is your life like now?

Peaked around 350k in 2021
Now I'm at 150k
Did take some profits to pay off debt and get a down payment
Quit my job early this year. If I run out of money, I'll just move in with my dad. Or kill myself.

Lost 500k (only 100k left) my wife, my youth, and my father all in the span of a two years. JUST’d in an understatement. I must carry on though.

My net worth at the bottom was like $1.2m less than at the top. I'm doing pretty well, I still love Chainlink and my life has never been better.

Feeling good now, 2021 and 2022 was pretty shit, eventually I got over it though.

Pretty much this. No one is here because everything is just going so well. About a year after dating the girl I'm with my 4chan use just skyrocketed. When I was single I was never here. I was too busy having a good time.

if in the next bullrun I make 50k or more my life it will be fantastic

[Anonymous No.56700149]

top of market '21 - 2.4M
right now - 1.6M

sold in april of 2021 - mostly ETH/BTC. started acquiring in 2015 and plowed some cash again in 2019 and 2020.

looking back, it was pure euphoria... and selling, like buying is a skill. Getting over the mindset of previous ATH can be challenging, but I manage my portfolio full-time now and also have two side projects that fund my living expenses and bills. Just working towards 3M now.

>>56699328
I've made 100,000 this bear run. I have a fat long distance girlfriend and my only desire to get rich was to have sex with 8-10/10s. But it hurts too much to break up with her so I just stay. So I just do absolutely nothing different.

I'm pretty autistic with physics as a graduate student so I just keep my head in the books. Gym, music lessons, sometimes food is free here. And rent is essentially dirt cheap since its for in debt undergrads.

[Anonymous No.56700459]

>>56699328
Pretty shit, after temporarily being a millionaire and losing it all I don't know what to do, literally the only thing that will save me is playing the shit coin casino but that's how I lost it in the first place but I'm so low that it's the only option. The worse part is that I cant even work a job, I mean I could but the only thing I'm qualified for is being a low tier wagie for like McDonald's and Walmart and the money that I used to have has just warped my brain to the point I'll rather blow my brains out then work for $10/hour. I don't know how much longer I can live like this but I'm sure everything is going to be FINE.

My portfolio maxed out at $1.4 million but I didn't sell and I watched it drop to $400k in 2022. Now it's worth just over $800k. In the end, it's just money and I'm not selling until I reach my goal of $5 million.

[Anonymous No.56701055]

>>56699328
me, went from $20,000 to $450,000 in 2017 and lost it all just by holding and investing in different projects, life sucks.

[Anonymous No.56701068]

>>56699328
Yeah lost hundreds of thousands margin trading and stuck with 5 figs
Nothing really changed, it was all generated from previous bull runs anyway so life hasn't changed, still waging away dreaming of the eventual millionaire status that is less likely to happen as time passes by

[Anonymous No.56701818]

I wasn't in the last bull run, I came in late, but I knew that IDOs and IEOs made me a beautiful stash, reasons why this upcoming bull run.

I won't snooze on Funarcade's IEO as this amongst others I have will make me lots of multiples as early buyers jsyk

>>56699328
Yes..
I experienced betrayal on a scale I could not imagine before.
Lost my ego and consciousness in an instant ultra kill hit like getting an atomic bomb to explode in your face and didn't even have the time to understand what happened.

My personality changed to a philosopher and I don't have strong desires now...
At least I can feel inner peace now more often.

[Anonymous No.56702589]

Yep, but I learned a shit ton, I consider it a 6 figure tuition fee. Now when I eventually reach 8 figures I wont fuck it up and throw it all away like I did when I first reached 6.

There's some mistakes in my opinion you cannot understand unless you make them yourself, fucking up with a few hundred thousand dollars is bad, but its better to learn with that, than to learn with the mistake with millions.

[Anonymous No.56702628]

>>56699328
Yes, then lost it all
I still have hope I can retire next bull with my newfound knowledge

[Anonymous No.56702659]

i lost millions
my life sucks
not because of the money but because of health issues that can't be fixed
also other people
i guess having money would let me live remote from people without giving up any material comfort
so in the end my life sucks because i lost millions

[Anonymous No.56702665]

Millions. Every day is hell.

Sitting at $1.8M now
I barely spend any of it. Got a new pc cause the old one (6yo+) died. Only spend on groceries, gas and gym fee. I live with my parents. I don't have friend, never had a gf. Will soon turn 30.

You adhominem deflections are very sweet, newfag.
Now onto the discussion. Please explain why one should buy BTC instead of lending it through a tether printer. On 100x leverage, of course.

[Anonymous No.56702978]

Lost $80k from the crash of 22. I've recovered some from this market recovery, but I'm still 50% down from breakeven. It's fucking painful seeing what could've been if I wasn't such a pussy (if I went all in on Solana after the ftx crash, I would've 2-3x'd my breakeven money by now and have around $200k-$300k, but nope I'm sitting at below $50k right now in my portfolio...sigh...)

[Anonymous No.56703422]

Reached 120k. Cashed like 25 or 30k. Kept holding the rest, which still accounts to around 20k. I've been pretty well, bought a lot of stuff (I'm a third worlder)
Need another one to make it for an apartment at least and I'm done

>>56699328
10k to 150k from chainlink but I made some bad trades after not selling the peak and was left with 39k. I bought the harry potter coin and now have 300k total so I can't complain. It's all just numbers on a screen like a video game so I never let the drop to 39k affect me.
