I lost everything in Crypto.
I was exactly where this guy is at one point.
I lost most of the money i made from selling a business(over $250,000).
I lost my wifes and mothers money.
Then i got into $50k of debt and tried to make it all back.
Lost that as well didn't I.... LOL fuckkkk
Not kidding.
This is a 100% true story.... feels weird writing this out again and remembering the emotions.
I was heavily depressed, but I just kept showing up in the trenches and learning.
Kept training my mind and body.
Refused to let that situation define me.
And rose out of the ashes and eventually became very comfortable financially within the same industry that took everything from me initially.
If you are in this position, as I am sure a fair few are right now...
You gotta realise its not Crypto's fault.
Its yours.
And there is a liberation in accepting that, because once you accept its your fault, you can be the one to change it.
You weren't screwed over, you just weren't good enough.
The pain i went through during that period is what enabled me to become who i am today. Without it, I wouldn't have made it here.
The loss is what creates the seeds that eventually grow the win.
I ended up making much more money for my wife and mother after that, and the story has a much happier ending.
But it wouldn't have if i threw the towel in when i was down and out.
You just gotta find a way to keep going.
And the ones that can handle that loss, are the only ones that will rise again.
That's just the way it is.
You can cry, blame and hate everything...
But you aint gonna win.
Crypto has ruined my life honestly
I’m 40, going 41. Down to my last 2 Sol with no job willing to hire me.
Caught in the wars of launchpad that destroyed all the volume of anything to run organically, nowadays purely insider plays or caballed tokens.
In debt of over $55k borrowing from friends and family in a span of 7 months
Now i’m not sure where to even start with my life, feeling depressed almost every single day.
Should have never started crypto in the first place.
