I am beyond demoralized.
It took me 16 years to save up 50k.
I finally got the guts to invest into crypto. I wasn't checking the prices because people here told me not to and it dumped on me on december. I sold at a huge loss. 20k gone in a near instant.
I started to check prices every few hours and then every waking minute. I would buy and sell constantly at every price movement.
Despite markets going up I am now left with 19k.
Life is hard enough but now with most of my savings gone I dont really have anything else. I dont know what to do.
My remaining funds, I went 50 50 into Solana and Link because these were the 2 that helped me make some gains at first, before I lost it all.
I might just kill myself. I was half a paycheck away from being homeless and freezing to death but now that its starting to get warmer Im not as worried about that anymore. But I don't think I can survive the next winter.

>It took me 16 years to save up 50k
My wife said the same thing, how she worked hard and was painfully frugal for so long to save that money. Then I spent that much on our kids' tuition this year alone because we can easily afford it now. The amount of time and effort you put into saving money is only meaningful to you, but you will be crushed if you start to panic in a market. Just buy something that you are comfortable holding for 2+ years and wait it out, nothing else.

Now I'm just trying to move over to index funds instead of speculative clown markets.

It's not a big deal man. Stocks are much safer, crypto is a huge risk, and I've been through enough cycles here to know that when people start getting delusional and greedy that it's a massive red flag sell signal.

if not a larp you need to stop being a dumb nigger
get out of söylana. re-allocate so you're 33% in LINK, 33% in ETH or Avax and the rest in shitcoin moonshots under 100m mcap that aren't retarded, like RLC or parsiq
DYOR and stop being a dumb nigger listening to fucking retards. Simply do not sell until 2025, pay attention to when the market is going through mania phase, will be hard to miss.

you're not wrong
we will get hit very hard in the coming months. there hasn't been a good buy opportunity for awhile.
We're not in a bull market and haven't been since 2021
Around Q4 of this year I expect to see the first instances of the bull returning

>I might just kill myself.
If you do, could you send that 19k to me or share the wealth bro?

Also, bro idk why you'd gamble your savings into crypto instead of literally investing in the greatest bull market run ever of stocks.
>but stocks are less volatile bro! is boomer shit! LOL 8% RETURN LOL
If you want to gamble, gamble at least safely. like putting it into TQQQ which is X3 leverage of the market. Or long term options. Or good companies.

Don't put it into coins hoping you'd make it big.

>it dumped on me on december. I sold at a huge loss. 20k gone in a near instant
anon, the market has been steadily going up since december. So that leads me to believe you either one, panic sold because you didn't zoom out on the charts, or two, invested in jeet scam coins in which you were probably right to sell and cut your losses.

Either way don't feel too bad, I lost couple of k gambling on shitcoins this past year too. It's basically a right of passage for crypto investors at this point. 19k is still recoverable. Market is bullish, the halving is coming up, and if the fed slashes interest rates again we're going to the moon. Go into blue chips coins and hold, sell date most likely around 2025.

If eth makes it to 10k and link 100 this cycle I'll have around mid 6 figs. And some optimist say we may even blow past that. It's the topwit dimwit convergence meme, just buy and hold.

Just buy bitcoin or ethereum and hold. It's really that simple. It doesn't matter if they dump 90% the day after you buy, five years down the road you will be up and up big
