you didn't have a crystall ball, so don't let the weight of that decision dray you down

(if it does)

Never sold.

Invested 8k in XRB/NANO, gambled to a huge stack, it eventually went to 130k at ATH, did not sell because everything was green, then it dumped after the Bitgrail exploit. Kept holding bags and eventually gambled it all away.

Was really interested in SOL at 3$ but did not invest.

Bought 2k worth of ETH, gambled it all the way up to 22k now, did not jump on PEPE after the Ivan on Tech vid when I should have.

What I learned : Stop gambling and all-in the next promising meme coin. Withdraw gains after 5x, then 20% of the remaining stack after each additional 5x.

Not buying enough biz

My first shitcoin gamble was with $ghost and I put like $20 in it and I didnt take the $50

>>54864506
I didn't take profit

back in 2020 i had the cash to buy 20 bitcoin at 4k but i did not instead i put it as down payment for apartment, god i wish i have the balls to gamble it that time

falling for the saving 10k "before you invest" meme-- I sold 7k of bitcoin in 2015 in order to save my way up to 10k only to miss the 2017 bull run. I want to die

>>54864506
Going all in on an alt coin... missed the 2020/2021 bull run. Also falling for the HODL meme should have SODLd. Also quitting my job, now broke.

Didn't take profit in 2018

>>54864506
During the big ass bullrun after like 2020 I bought a shit load of RLC literally just because it was pumping so hard and looking at fucking biz digital oil memes. It got pumped and dumped so hard and nobody made threads about it anymore.

Trust your gut. If you think things are going to go wayside, bail. That's on investing, jobs and relationships.

Always. ALWAYS have a plan B. If you're autistic have a C through Z type plan. Things don't always work out and they can blow up on your face.

Comfy>Financial gains. Don't chase the dollar bills because you think it'll make everything better. If you're smart you can always get money somehow, someway but you'll never get time lost. Again this goes back to relationships, jobs and investments. Time is the ultimate resource, spend it wisely. Anyone or anything that removes precious time should be dealt with ASAP!!!

Cont. Stress will kill you faster than cigerattes/weed , alcohol and any another vice you might have. Eliminate it completely. You will lose your vitality, your mental well being/ health and TIME worrying about the things that stress you.

Pick a hobby/Enjoy the time you have here on this shitty rock. Life is so unbearably short and paradoxally long. Make the most of it. Help your fellow man, contribute to those around you and make a net positive on things, no matter how small that positive change is. We come to /biz/ chasing for higher numbers when we should be chasing for more positive memories. (the high numbers are good though)

Lastly, if its good enough to screenshot, its good enough to sell. Don't let greed be the main driver of your decisions.

In late 2017, I bought into this ICO called Ethconnect. I deposit $350 worth of eth at the time into an address of an account that I’m supposedly created on that website. I was able to deposit money into the wallet but when the ICO day come, no one can log into the website. I still wonder in whose hand my eth ended up with and that’s when I knew I fall into a scam.

I was the pretending to be an indain all over the internet to create uncertainty after I sold at the white paper announcement. I hope Josh Case is in prison.

>spending $1k on a woman online who posed as homeless and lied to me that she was single.
>not buying $SOL at $2 before its bull run after being told about it from a friend who's husband worked at SOL
>Being a NEET for 2 years straight rotting in my bed after all the financial mistakes I made leaving me with 200$ to my name.

Selling 250mln doge in 2014 for 50% gain.

There are some failures that breed successes and some successes that breed failures. I think you should look more into real assetclasses.

i played some autistic leaps when i just started learning
got some easy 5-6xs sitting around, months to expiry
didnt completetly understand theta
treated it like crypto
i didnt sell at 5x, sold at much less
it was a decent pile

>>54873280
ehh.
my failures in crypto did help me to understand the markets a bit. same for having the discipline to buy/sell, and understanding my risk tolerance of holding a position by seeing if I could sleep overnight in peace with it open.
the success I did have in getting a relationship or getting that sweet high returns did fuck up my future by not focusing on building a career.

Played leverage

NANO is still based. Banano is a potential 100x

2015 buy 1 bitcoin , enters deep website that sell amazon gift cards for half price send the bitcoin and they send me nothing :(

Going to college. massive waste of money.

That screenshot really hit home. I was really happy when I was young even with just a little money. My wage puts up in the top 1% earners. But it's pointless. After work I fall asleep at my desk only to wake up at 5am and missed everything. Fuck this.

>>54869033
easily the most important rule of trading: keep your losses small, and the winners will come with time. The money is made being in the right position at the right time, and then... doing nothing for a long time. Not from size, but from the leverage of a good position with tightly controlled risk.

>>54864506
weed.

>top 1% earners
the national average of the top 1% earners is $597,815
So you make 600k in a year and yet claim you have to wage the rest of your life? You can work 1 year and have 10 times the savings of a person that is 60+ in my country kek.

Not selling at 52$

>>54864653
I have a list but most recently I settled a lawsuit for less than I should have to play it safe. I had them by the nuts but didn’t have confidence in my lawyer so I stopped. I got $450k but could have got $675k. In retrospect I should have believed in my instincts and fired the lawyer.

I din't buy pepe early enough but I will never fomo, that will be a worse mistake. I've bagged some ctsi and rail for the pump.
