I sold my buttcoins few months back or weeks I dont remember, I shorted on those red massacre days and went out, I just couldn't handle the stress and most of all, constant anxiety monitoring the charts.

So today I wake up to this green dildo and the entire morning I'm on the fucking calculator.

> if I just bought XY amount at 3500 and went long easy, 5x, I would have ____ now

> if I just went crazy, 20x long at ____ I would be at ______ now

On and on and on. I know these predictions are retarded and it's easy to be "epic trader" when the movement already happen, shoulda woulda shit everyone can do it...but still...the pain of missing out itches still...

How do you cope, handle that?

This. Is it weird I watched this entire move up and didn't feel one shred of FOMO? I've trained myself to only buy when there's blood in the streets. Hodling a quarter coin from 3500 and I'm thinking of selling it.

if you think like that then:
you could have bought amazon at 3$
you could have bought apple at 4$
you could have had a thousand BTC from just a GPU and an electric generator that ran on the heat of your own piss.
you could have bought ETH at 6 cents
you could have bought X at X and so on, and so forth, until you really could have had ALL the money in the world if only you could see the future. but you cant, and nobody can.

this being said however, there is an asset in this world at any given moment that is the cheapest it will ever be, and most of them cost food, water, time, and a little bit of gumption.
>>13209027
you are not a gambler, dont be. if you want to mitigate regret, diversify. Stocks, bonds, crypto, yourself. If you want to go all in on something, go all in on a dream. Because it is the cheapest it will ever fucking be. You know who really won? Mark zucker, jeff bezos, bill gates, and maybe even fucking Sergey Nazarov. Becuase they invested in their dream, when it cost absolutely fucking nothing.

my honest opinion on BTC? buy a few quality alts and sell in early may into tether, and buy back at the end of the month.

I feel like all successful traders end up with this mentality if they survive the gauntlet of losses and are still in. If you're more stubborn than you are emotional, the emotions get beaten out of you so all that's left is logic.

I wish i was larping mate i did lost more 99% of my folio, in my defense i started out with 0.03 btc as a neet, more than 2 years ago and went up to 14btc, but that was when i was a jobless.
My folio went to shit when i started wagecucking as a web dev last year and i had no time to update delta every 5 seconds and watch news 24/7.
I had 20k x 14 once around 300k and lost it all to wagecuck in a job that pays me 1/10 of my folio per year i deserve it all theres no bigger justed in this place than me, just fucking kill me

Ah I see. You in pump group? It’s hard to tell for me when a shitcoin is going to actually run or dumps after 10-15% or so. And by the time I spot something pumping, it could be too late. Is there a time frame or indicator you look at to see if the shitcoin pump is going to go? Or is it based on some kind of fundamental (like enj was the Samsung partnership which is pretty pump worthy)

i was once where u were OP.
i decided on some point, -to not be totally full of regret- to buy a certain amount of bitcoin and just fucking hold them no matter what. cause once you're deeper into the topic you know this shit will go only go up over time (of course when it goes to fast it will crash down but overall this goes to 100k+ per btc).

buy a certain amount of btc and only sell little increments of it when you need to. buy and hold nigger.

i've been in crypto for 3 years and i'm pretty good at assessing if something is severely undervalued/overvalued. i always exit the trades too early but that doesn't mean it's not overvalued. people are just stupid and the hype lets them buy at stupid prices
>>13210635
>It’s hard to tell for me when a shitcoin is going to actually run or dumps after 10-15% or so
things like ICO price, all time low and volume can tell you if there's whales with huge bags that are about to dump to some extend.
>based on some kind of fundamental
this doesn't happen too often, but when it does and the coin hasn't really pumped yet, i go in big with conservative targets
