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


This is a sad news. We really can never tell what might happen. All we need to do now is move on and accept the fact that sometimes, we need to experience losses in order for us to learn. The good thing is that you only invested half of your portfolio and not the whole. You can still recover from your losses. Let's charge that to experience and keep on going. We never know, the next coin or token you will buy might give you huge profit next time.
