2017 marine here. Had 18k last summer, got down to 10k because I was a NEET and had to sell to cover debts I had and stuff. Coronavirus scared me so I sold at 1.90. Then I fomo’d in with leverage at 3.30 3x. Don’t ask how, but I have only 3.5k LINK left. Should I even bother living at this point? Yes I deserve to be laughed at for my weak, shitty hands. Not a LARP. Go ahead, say what I need to hear. What should I do? Get a job and accumulate more? Continue going on leverage and long a bottom? Now what?
I am down to 3k LINK after owning 18k from selling and gambling on margin
suicide is the only solution
Yeah I thought about it. Too many things left to live for like my gf, family...but not much else.
If you really believe in the project, you know deep down these prices won't last forever. Suck it up, get a job, and accumulate. If you make it, it'll be even sweeter.
What do you mean get a job. Get a job.
get a job dumbass
go for a hail mary before trying suicide. Could maybe do a 5x short on LINK at 47-49k sats.
It hurts knowing I’ll probably never have the 10k make it stack. But at least now I’ll have iron hands. I don’t even want to think how much money I left on the table in future dollars.
Thanks, I’m just in college now and was working as a pizza delivery driver but then stopped working because I got complacent and lived off my crypto (stupid mistake). This is what I needed to hear.
I would rather just go all in before a parabolic pump and long it. Shorting Chainlink was a mistake.
Dont dwell on your mistakes. Learn from them. You got into this mess with leverage, dont try to fix it with leverage. And seriously, you never know. You could get back there to 10k with accumulation and staking.
Thanks, you probably saved my life. The allure of leverage served me well originally because I made lots of LINK from it. The coronavirus drop screwed me though. Lesson learned. I will NOT gamble this down to 0. I haven’t spent THIS MUCH TIME AND ENERGY following Chainlink to blow it all leverage trading before the singularity. Thank you.
No prob user. And this is something Ive been working on as well, but do not let the possibility of all this money/FOMO control you. You were talking about suicide. None of the money is worth it if you cant learn to control yourself and learn to appreciate other things in life. Money is just one part. A large part, but just a part. Also as a Christian Id be remiss if I didnt say Jesus loves you and doesnt want that for you.
Anyways, just accumulate and hold, but if you dont get to 10k, its not worth hurting yourself over. Good luck user.
what the fucks happening april 14th. fucking tell me
I really feel like I didn’t appropriately value the money and Chainlink I had at the time, because I just thought it would continually moon. My self control is terrible...
Thanks for your kind words. I grew up Christian but do not practice currently. I really saw the Chainlink community as being one of the things I looked forward to everyday, and honestly, I got to a point where I felt invincible with Chainlink and thought I wouldn’t need a job ever again. This was probably the dose of reality I needed...it still hurts. It eats at my soul how much Chainlink I needlessly threw away. Anons here would kill for what I had, and I let it all slip away.
It's Easter you stupid bitch. Calm down. You still own a decent amount of link. Don't be complacent. Get a job even if that means stocking shelves at the grocery store. Pay your bills and dca in. 1k isn't the price ceiling. If it reaches 1k it'll reach 10k eventually.
Stop moaning and grow the fuck up retard.
I am also 2017 Marine
Never sold but traded smart all these years
increased my stack to 145k through 2018 started with 23k Link in sept 2017
>Then I fomo’d in with leverage at 3.30 3x.
I shorted that pump
thanks for the money friend I will enjoy spending it
10k has always been the make it stack my dude. I could maybe get to like 6-8k LINK if I work hard enough and accumulate hard. But I mean really, I get what you’re saying but fuck me.
Kek. I ain’t even mad. Well played. I don’t even care if what you said is LARP.
your problem is greed
fix that and become a better trader
>1k isn't the price ceiling.
lol........
10k being the make it stack is basing it off the price at 1k a token for people living in first world countries. If it reaches 1k, it won't stop there.
3k link is enough to make you just have to wait longer to feel special.
It's still the best investment. Quit sulking.
Get a job. Work on yourself. Focus, improve and stack linkies. You'll do just fine.
You could've this, you should've that. Stfu. You don't have a time machine. Each second you wais crying about the past is a second you could be enjoying your present or improving your future.
Thanks. I despise myself right now but I’ll learn to love myself again soon enough. I made a terrible decision with the golden ticket and I went gambling. I need to man the fuck up. I just hate myself for what I’ve done and want to restart. But I’m just fucking venting.
No problem user. Also, no need to beat yourself up anymore. Sounds like you know what to do. And think about it this way: You realised all this before youve been priced out. You still have an opportunity.
And God is always ready to welcome you back. Thats something Ive struggled with as well and still do everyday, but that's a part of faith. I'm ready to make money on Chainlink if it succeeds, but I dont want to forfeit my soul in the process. Have a great Easter.
Not going to be harsh when you're hurting enough. But this is a good lesson for all: do not swing your stack. It might work out a few times but you will get burnt.
But look, 3.5k will be a big stack in the future. The most important thing in life is how to react to setbacks and so get over yourself and focus on making things the best you can from here. Ie. being patient and putting any disposable income in to accumulate.
Thanks you too fren.
Thanks. I read so many stories about swingies getting burnt and never thought it could happen to me — until it did. Let this be a lesson to you prospective swingies — Just dont do it. Just keep working and don’t fucking do it. The pain is unbearable right now, you do not want to feel what the fuck I’m feeling.
Don't sweat it. Mistakes are to learn from.
There are plenty of people who committed robbery, murder and plenty egregious sins/crimes. They also go coulda/shoulda/woulda.
You're treating yourself like a caged animal and it won't help you.
Work hard. Be good. Try your best.
The past is dead. You can't go back that way.
Would you want to be in a plane or boat where the pilot was looking back and complaining rather than looking forward and planning?
Then why would you want to live a life like that. It's never too late to change your life and yourself.
You made stupid financial decisions, so what? People way smarter and way more important than you have too.
You'll never be perfect so don't be hard on yourself for not being perfect. That's just retarded.
You think like a No-Linker, user.
This user Is a good user
Yeah I like the pilot analogy. I’ve just never fucked up this bad in my life because I know my recent decisions have cost me millions of dollars. Millions. Not thousands. Not hundreds of thousands. MILLIONS. and I don’t have the same moxy and swagger I used to. My whole body and mind and soul feels defeated. I feel like I need something to look forward to, and now I don’t have that thing because I only have a paltry 3.5k stack. But I must keep myself driven and move forward somehow. I just never have fucked up this bad in my life.
I have less than a thousand more than you and I've been buying and holding the whole. Time. I could have sold my emergency commodities for another 500-1500 links. I could have used my emergency money to buy an additional few thousand.
I'll probably only get to 5500-6000 linkies before the singularity.
If I timed every buy perfectly and swung my whole stack. I could have had 10k-20k linkies.
I could have invested in pot stocks and Ethereum in 2016-2017 when I was sure I was going to kill myself and didn't care about making it.
I could have invested in bitcoin when friends told me to in 2011-2013 and I was spending all my money on alcohol, cigarettes and drugs but I didn't.
I could have demanded my parents and family buy me Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft stocks instead of console games when I was a child.
I could have had a 6pack
I could have asked that girl out
I could have this
I should have that
Nigga this is how you drive yourself crazy.
You only have so much time and energy and you're using it to drive yourself in circles obsessing over things you can't change.
Dude you're young and you're wasting your youth. Stop.
Hey you could have lost your private key. Now that would suck
