Basically my parents wouldn't let me hire movers to move their mansion. So by the end of the day (January 24th of all days) I had lost like $11k..then I kept holding and moving their mansion.. A few days later I'm down $28k...then I held and held and now it's all gone.

I only cashed out my initial investment. Didn't make our lose any money in 2017. Still have about 20k in crypto which I'll only cash out in the next bull run.

Fell for the mining meme instead if just directly buying the coins. Also not selling near the top despite the obvious signs in late 2017

It turns out crypto really is a nothing burger. Just a pump and dump scam. I was expecting it to have a real place in the future. Turned out to all be a huge lie.

My grandma died when bitcoin was like, 400 bucks. I inherited a moderate some of money. I was on here. There were a lot of murmurs. I was too scared to go all in. Only made a couple grand and got out. If I would've put my inheritance in I'd be a millionaire. If I lost my inheritance I would've killed myself. I was too scared and still fucked up in the head over losing her.

2013 starter. I had 15btc of sats in jan 2018. Held through the top, went mental and traded myself into the ground, lost the rest on bitmex.

Got my act together last summer, got a loan, back in the game, shitcoined my way back up to 50+ btc sats

Most people fucked up in 2017.

Holy fuck I feel you, I sold my req at 0.80¢ and now am a proud owner of the chainlink tokens and shares of linkpool.
I started this adventure with a 1k loan, my ATH at 2017 was near 80k. Now I'm very near my ath.
It has been a ride, the 2018 was very depressing, but I know its just a matter of time when I'll make it. Good luck to all of my /biz/ friend, it realy has been a wild ride.

It was going pretty bad I went from 120k usd down to 40k usd. At that moment I just said fuck this and went all in on chainlink. To my surprise chainlink was at one of its lowest points in terms of sats (3.5-4k). Long story short going all in on chainlink with 40k United States Dollars will be a story I tell my grandchildren.
