I'm almost even- buying BTC at 19k almost 2 years ago, and that being the lowest low, feels bizarre as we are celebrating breaking 18k

The Crypto markets are unforgiving. You get so used to seeing red you don't even look at your portfolio.

I don't even remember when I bought BTC the first time. It was probably right after the pandemic started. We were all getting stimulus checks. I heard about Crypto being "legit" more than ever, and hopped on the bandwagon. Fell in love with the tech, understanding whitepapers, realizing it made perfect sense to with how awful banks have been.

Anyway, I put all my life savings in. Yes, this is reckless. I have no children though. No family really. No women in my life, one or two friends. I have no rent agreement. I live on the edge, and am ready to lose it all, really.

I doubled my investment. It felt good. Then I listened to a good friend, about how Luna was bullet proof, didn't do my research, and lost almost everything.

Luckily I diversified, kinda, also I didn't put everything in, could make rent, didn't end up killing myself like so many people did on r/TerraLuna. I watched all of it unfold, feels like hell on the other side now.

I'm finally celebrating breaking even soon. It feels great. Like maybe I am not as stupid as I thought. Maybe one day if I am profit, I can ride the ride again and celebrate not selling in the green like it seems so many of us can't do, woo.
