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.

You didn't lost any 150k.

You lost only what you invested. Assuming it's 15k, you lost only 15k.

You never officially had those 150k until you withdrew them and then put it back to lose it.
