End of my journey. Please learn from me.

I started accumulating back in 2020, saved heavily and convinced my wife after realising that Bitcoin is the greatest monetary system and store of value that we should go all in.

Got up to 5 BTC at my peak in 2021, and that’s when greed kicked in. I saw everyone making huge gains, and my impatience got the better of me. I took half my stack and played alts, did OK, sold some for IRL purposes (house move, relocation, pay off debts).

And then I decided to use the rest of my stack to try and buy low, sell high and then play more alts to increase my stack during the last 2-3 years, and well, without typing out the usual trading alts story, ended up losing the majority, and then at the start of this year my entire bag went to zero.

Gone. My hopes. Dreams. Future plans. And all my fault, and I take full responsibility.

I post this not for sympathy, I’m going through the grieving process still (sounds dramatic but that’s what it is), but I post this for other anons out there.

Please don’t do what I did. Don’t chase the promise of higher gains. BTC is the only cryptocurrency with any value.

If you have a stack, do not touch it. Don’t be tempted. Believe me, not only will you lose, but it hurts.

For those that have continued to stack and not be tempted to play the casino, well done, you deserve every bit of fulfillment when it inevitably reaches those new ATHs.

I might start a fresh stack, but honestly the last few years have taken a lot out of me. I have a home, a family, and good health, and so right now that’s what I need to take care of.
