In general maybe, but lol, I donāt specifically because I havenāt really shared all the craziness. And that wasnāt due to assuming people wouldnāt have sympathy, it was because when I started peopleās eyes glazed over having to read words and graphs. My sob story requires a powerpoint presentation.
In general though, lol, thanks, but considering how poorly it went last time Iām done with that. I assumed an analogy like āok, say, you wait years to get invited to The Big Game but then you run really bad and then subsequently play bad and only win a couple medium pots when there were millions at the tableā would go over well but eh.
Maybe a better analogy would be the classic Bog video, except I didnāt lose money nor dieā¦ which might make it seem like itās a bad analogy, but Iām referring to the deteriorating mental health,
and I wouldāve never thought I had to justify disintegrating mental health with a dollar value.
The other super weird part is Iāve told people about my rapidly waning mental health and theyāve said āwell just stop doing itā and when I say that normal people donāt get to quit their money-making endeavors, like, theyāre jobs, or even really call in sick that much, Iām seen as the weird one.
We can make it a game, starting simple. If you have take the 100 biggest coins, what would be your odds in picking the worst performing one? (I just realized this is a slight trick question but Iāll leave it phrased as is)
Mostly a joke bud. I get what youāre saying. And in caring about your mental health, in addition to seeing a professional, it should be something that is at least on your radar. What are your monthly expenses/income? How much do you have in savings? If you cashed out now, where would you be?
Itās all good, my bad, your post was open to interpretation and I picked an uncharitable interpretation.
Iām actively trading these so I donāt really look at it like that; I mean, I bought and sold bitcoin 3 times this morning already. But basically, a series of events that started with me selling bitcoin to bet on the election and having all that money tied up while bitcoin rocketed up faster than anybody thought, started a snowball that led to a series of, in hindsight, ever so slight misplaying of hands which left my V far far lower than my EV.
But, I donāt know if you missed the ābuying housesā series of posts but itās not really about me. I live my life like Iām going to be dead in 6 months and Iām still alive so, so far, so good, but this money was going to other people. A few months ago I set it up so if I die my sister and my bff can get access to my crypto stuff.
Zero. Or not, again itās kinda tied to the above, in that I have a poker and crypto bankroll which Iāve never figured out, all these years, if that should be called a savings. The entirety of it went into crypto last year when I stopped playing poker. And youāre not a fan of the cryptos so you probably wouldnāt classify it as savings.
Cheap, Iām not a real adult by any means. But also no income aside from crypto trading; itās not an analogy calling it a seasonal job, itās fairly literal. The only thing Iām probably truly qualified to do other than play poker is what I was doing prepandemic, audio mixing engineering, but aside from that always being a passionate starving artist thing, Iām slowly going deaf in one ear so that kinda sorta really sucks, and Iām trying not to think about it. Gave myself a hearing test the other day, probably a mistake.
But yeah, I wanted some people I care about to have to worry less about money and I donāt think Iām going to be able to do that to nearly the extent I thought, after waiting years for the market cycle to happen; aside from that, gambling for a living is just stressful. But whatev, Iām probably gonna be dead in six months.
Lol that original tweet is exactly what I was talking about, Awice had bitcoin since at least 2016, he didnāt āloseā anything even if he didnāt sell/short the top.
Well, that was a reference to me saying this earlier in that post,
but, yeah, basically. I donāt have a spouse or children or family or even a pet; planning and expecting good things ahead is necessary with those types of responsibilities but is otherwise mentally disastrous. Every time I wake up and my laptop turns on I marvel at the age of miracle and wonder Iām living in.
