Awice at least has some receipts that he has had success. Awval is a pitiful failure by every metric.

In general maybe, but lol, I don’t specifically because I haven’t really shared all the craziness. And that wasn’t due to assuming people wouldn’t have sympathy, it was because when I started people’s 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 I’m done with that. I assumed an analogy like “ok, 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 table” would go over well but eh.
Maybe a better analogy would be the classic Bog video, except I didn’t lose money nor die… which might make it seem like it’s a bad analogy, but I’m referring to the deteriorating mental health,
and I would’ve never thought I had to justify disintegrating mental health with a dollar value.
You got till eod Thursday

Wasn’t he a comfy middle-class pharmacist? Seems like an okay life.
The other super weird part is I’ve told people about my rapidly waning mental health and they’ve said “well just stop doing it” and when I say that normal people don’t get to quit their money-making endeavors, like, they’re jobs, or even really call in sick that much, I’m 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 I’ll leave it phrased as is)
Well failure for a white guy. Tough to fail that badly.
awice is top notch at programming interview questions:
1842 problems solved is impressive.
You havent heard of the great resignation then?
Turns out you can simply quit your job.
wow man…
i knew you didn’t like me anymore but holy sheeeit
He panic sold stocks in March 2020 right at the bottom. I don’t know if that makes you feel better, but it sure warms my heart.
Mostly a joke bud. I get what you’re 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?
Come on now.
It’s all good, my bad, your post was open to interpretation and I picked an uncharitable interpretation.
I’m actively trading these so I don’t 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 don’t know if you missed the “buying houses” series of posts but it’s not really about me. I live my life like I’m going to be dead in 6 months and I’m 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 it’s kinda tied to the above, in that I have a poker and crypto bankroll which I’ve 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 you’re not a fan of the cryptos so you probably wouldn’t classify it as savings.
Cheap, I’m not a real adult by any means. But also no income aside from crypto trading; it’s not an analogy calling it a seasonal job, it’s fairly literal. The only thing I’m 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, I’m slowly going deaf in one ear so that kinda sorta really sucks, and I’m 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 don’t think I’m 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, I’m probably gonna be dead in six months.
I had a friend do this but with a huge tournament score instead. Money is all gone as well.
Like, for reals?
Lol that original tweet is exactly what I was talking about, Awice had bitcoin since at least 2016, he didn’t “lose” anything even if he didn’t sell/short the top.
Well, that was a reference to me saying this earlier in that post,
but, yeah, basically. I don’t 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 I’m living in.
