So basically you're approaching your 30s and you're broke, and you've been unemployed for over a year because you spent that time trading shitcoins. Unironically not even close to bridge-worthy, anon

Tbh having a net worth of 0 in your 20s unironically puts you ahead of almost everyone else your age. Add to that all the practical work experience you have, and shit dude you're probably only a month or 2 away from being on track to making 6 figures again. So stop being a sad fuck feeling sorry for yourself, you can only go up from here.

So you had 550k and you put it all into crypto? This has to be a LARP.
