You have equal amounts of BTC, BCH and BSV. This will make you rich one day, just HODL for 2-3 more years. Maybe 5. In the meantime, put some money in more alts, because we don't really know which will be the big one when adoption happens. Adoption is just a matter of time. Don't talk about Bitcoin anymore, lie to everyone that you've sold it all off at a horrible loss and that you've learned your lesson. This will hopefully stop the harassment. If cryptos go up again to the point where you have enough for the rest of your life, don't brag, just quietly cash out half of the money. Buy 100 silver coins for suicide prevention. Not sure how to avoid the IRS, but some countries have BTC ATMs which you can sell to and don't require KYC.

Actually it was a pretty good story.

once a beta nerd, always a beta nerd.

Chad would have cashed out at ATH because his self esteem doesnt depend on being autistically right.

Sad but true. OP you were so fucking close. Did you ever consider during that time that greed and pride were going to be the end of you?

There's a thing called quitting while you're ahead. Surely you knew it's a bubble. Why the fuck didn't you stop pushing your luck, sell off (at least in December), show your MD the gains you made and ask when you can move into his office?

Similar thing to me. Everyone made fun of me for talking about crypto during 2017 and made fun of me about Bitcoin. I always told everyone to buy but nobody listened. In 2017 turned 8k to almost 400K. Everyone started asking me about it.

Then I diversified into shitcoins and held them all the way back down to 8K. For some reason I was just clinging on to false hope it would go back to what it is. First time experiencing a big bear market. I, like many others here, held back all the way down. Regret it all the fucking time man. It's brutal. Now I look back and can't believe how fucking dumb and greedy I was.

I fuck with this story LARP or not. Should have sold a little at the top

I told my roommate about NSA spying on everyone back in 2008. He called me "tinfoil hatter" and laughed at me.

Sometimes you're just so far ahead of the curve that others don't understand

I work in crypto and I must say it's nice hearing coworkers talk about forks as part of their jobs. I feel like I have a secret advantage because I browse /biz/
