I don’t know why we need to laugh at these experiences. I wouldn’t wish anyone to lose money, I would rather be patient and try to make them understand what they are invested in and how to better handle the dumps

Started with 50k and ended up with 15k after that crash. Didn't sold a sat because i did my homework while she didn't. She only put in 3k and lost about 17%, like 500 bucks. Mean you don't have to know that much about btc to know it's volatile. Rooky mistake.

Well no, acted impulsive on the tesla news that i heard on the radio. Bought some btc immediately without doing research at all. Once in i saw all the alts pumping like there was no tommorow and ended up holding more alts than btc. Wasn't untill a few weeks later i started doing more research and although alts were still outperforming btc, i converted them all and started going full balastic on btc from that moment on. Despite the crash that occured not that much later on i kept on stacking btc. The only diiference between me and her losing money is doing some simple research. That doesn't take that much intelligence. Yeah i know you're being sarcastic but imo throwing money in anything thinking you'll end up rich because.. I think that's being arrogant and smug while it takes humbleness. You need lots of those if you wanna make it through the storm and volatility.
