Bought a bunch of SLCA in early 2020 around covid crash, sold super early because I was broke and didn't want to see number go down.
Could have easily turned 100k-200k from a couple thousand investment.

Being perpetually broke alters your mindset to he closer to that of a nigger, if I don't use it now I'll lose it mindset. Why plant the seed when I can eat it now while I'm hungry?

Failure is the best teacher though, I'll get another chance.

Nigger that amount of money, at my current bills, would be enough for me to retire.
Even a tenth of that would give me some much needed breathing room to really start to take off financially.

>Sold GME the weekend before the moonshot

Not make it amounts of gains but I could've been a couple years ahead financially if I hadn't sold as early as it did

>>61920842
You never would have held for this long. You are lucky as fuck that mt gox was hacked and that they forced you to hold this long and that they ever gave you even a single dime back. You are lucky beyond words yet you have no gratitude.

I bought Bitcoin in 2017 and got an insane percentage return over the years, but the actual amount I put in was pretty low.

Was worth almost $10MM when LINK was $50+

I'm with anon here. You would have sold at $500-$1k walking away with a fraction of what you just got.

>>61920634
when I was 17, I had 10k and wanted to invest it, and wanted to invest into nvidia. Told my banking advisor that and he said he needs to do a lot of filing and we only were discussing ongoing investments today, so he put it off and I was too lazy of a retard teenager to commit and push

That was in 2017.

i have a recent near miss story.

>try to withdraw
>get a warning "Do not proceed, This transaction does not appear safe for the following reasons: Gaining account is classified as custom_malicious"
>proceed to shit pants
in the end i managed to withdraw and was made whole but it was annoying while it lasted, 8k is like 1/4 of the usdc i have and it would have sucked to lose it.

Used to take dance classes in 2009 back when usher was cool. In my class, there was a cute and for a teenager pretty damn chesty asian. She liked dancing and invited me over to her place together with her friend. I taught them the choreography of my class and it became late. Titty asked me to stay over for the night. I said "no i promised to bring your friend home"

She said "oh, okay"

BUT, as a side note, in my loneliest times is when I've become the most productive and learned new skills. Now at 32 years old I'm in the top 5% of wealth in my age group. Something that may not have happened if I became a dad and family man at 25ish. My financial and economic literacy propelled me past ALL of my piers from school.

Now I have the wealth.

>>61925883
man you are bad at math:
>made:
$5000 wife knows about
Another $8000 she didn't
lost about half that in sitcoins
made most of that back on eth

Eth was up to almost $5000, which would be $5 million
now at $2000, which would be $2 million

Of cousrse, at some point, I likely would have fucked it up anyhow and blown it all of overpriced whores
