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

That's just a bumber...one big loss, but one big learning for you. A lot would actually work for years before they could earn that amount..but you lost it in seconds. Now that should have told you something, right? Good thing is, your experience should make you smarter on your future dealings. I think that's your gain from your lost.
