Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.
So in 2010 i was working in IT company and my friend from work told me about bitcoin mining.
Next day after this information i register on this forum and start mining coins, everything going perfect but bitcoin price was really low and unstable.
I was investing everything in gpu. Couple times i lost my fund's on scam-exchange but i still had a lot of "mining power".
In 2015 i quited my job and invest my whole savings in bitcoin, in that time i had more than 15 bitcoin's and gpu worth 20k$.
And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?
Now after 6 years i have biggest depression ever, if i only burrow money from somewhere 5 years ago and didnt sell my miners...
I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.
The majority of us investors' biggest problems is a lack of patience and understanding, honestly, it is one thing to have the money to invest and another to fully understand what you are getting into and have the mindset to be willing to wait as long as it takes to see results.
I have a similar experience which i will be sharing someday (not with btc though). Your problem was you were not patient enough and understand how big an opportunity btc was back then to change your financial status. Many people also suffer the same faith as yours, some were lucky enough to hold for one reason or the other.
The sad part is, those GPUs will cost twice or more than what you bought them for back in those days, and mining is not as profitable as it use to be, buying btc even at this current price is quite high, 15 btc now is a lot of money. I can see your frustration.
