Yes, I know it is a long shot, but I figured I'd try, maybe some whale is feeling generous and is willing to help someone besides themselves.

In reality, I'm now at the stage of letting my remaining funds sit, reassessing the entire market and several of the more popular coins in particular.  Seeing which has the potential to start rebuilding my profits.

Know what I think is a possibility?  Again, I know it is a long shot, but I think this may have been some supernatural / guardian angel / the universe type of event.  In the same way that you might mysteriously lose your car keys when you're trying to get out the door to go to work, and you find them 10 minutes later and wonder why the hell they were in the spot you found them in.  And the bigger story is, that delay was created in order for you to get in the car 10 minutes later and miss being in a big car accident or something like that.  Who knows?  It could happen.  I'm still amazed at how the EFF I thought this Elon coin doubling thing was a good idea and "YEAH LET'S SEND $9000 RIGHT NOW", I must have been influenced in some way, because I've been in the crypto game 11 years and I've seen lots of scams and I know better than this.
