From $400 $BTC to $10K gains—and still feeling like a failure. How crypto’s wild ride wrecked my finances, my career, and my mental health. Don’t make my mistakes.
I turned a few hundred bucks into life-changing money… and then watched it vanish—twice. Now I’m stuck in debt, disillusioned, and begging you to learn from my stupidity.
Crypto’s volatility rewired my brain. $500 feels meaningless when you’ve watched portfolios swing thousands in a day. The dream of "getting rich quick" killed my ambition—why work hard when a moonshot could solve everything?
Spoiler: It didn’t.
I held through euphoric highs and brutal lows, swapping bags like a degenerate gambler. Now, in 2025, crypto’s finally gaining real-world traction… and I’m left with mediocre gains, a stalled career, and regret.
If you’re in crypto:
1. Take profits.Seriously.
2. Pretend it’s all going to zero.Build skills, save cash, and live like the gamble it is.
3. Don’t let unrealized gains rot your ambition. The market doesn’t care about your hopes.

(P.S. Yes, I’m still in profit. No, it doesn’t make me feel better.)
