The loss is missed opportunities and withdrawing from crypto and trading due to feeling scammed.

In stock market crash when $500,000.00 + was dropping and family member found I had it and dropped a lawsuit preventing me from taking it out because they wanted some for some old petty reason. In panic I offered them $100.000.00 to drop lawsuit. They dropped the lawsuit when I got the money clear and out I told them to pound sand. I told them I will give them the 100k when they given me the other 2200k I lost. Family can be the most devastating
