DISCUSSION I loss $150k gambling in crypto

I got hooked when I turned $15k into $150k and then thought i was a genius. I kept pumping my salary into crypto there were ups and downs but end of the day I loss it all holding a coin when it went down all the way.

Stupid part was I purchased 10btc at the very beginning at 2017. But due to gambling problem i traded it away if I held would be a milly by now and much more in the future. Silly me.

Now im gonna put an end to this madness. Crypto can be very addictive and dangerous if u dont have the discipline like me.

Nice i was advised not to buy btc at 3k. Stone cold broke now :(. Hope you make it back to 150k+ just find a good entry and a nice low price.

Been there too. I have been telling everyone when BTC was at 200$ to just grab 50$ of it. I was 16 and had basically no income so those 50$ were a lot of money to me. Because evryone said not to do it I didnt put more... Fast forward and I sold those 50$ for 2500$ when BTC hit 10k
