Bought 329 Segwit2x Futures on Bitfinex.
Sometime around the 6th.
Took a gamble yes I know, but after looking into it I believed Segwit2x would be the chain we all use as the real Bitcoin
News comes out that the fork is being called off, by the time i hear it about an hour later I check the futures price and it's trading at a whopping 90$ each
Moral of story :
Don't ever put almost half your portfolio in something risky like a forks futures


really not a small loss, the things you experience become a learning for us that never take a big risks for things that are not sure, but everyone have experienced failure and take lessons from it to achieve success, let bygone be bygone, life is very interesting, in the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths  Wink
