There’s only one loss I can’t forget, the 0.5btc Aside from that, it’s not that I forget my losses quickly, I just don’t care much about them. I don’t dwell on previous losses before playing because I need to play with a fresh mindset, with the intent to win, not to recover what I lost. That’s how it should be. If you keep thinking about your past losses, you’re only stressing yourself out while playing. It's not good to think about it coz it can only affect your session or the way you play.
Losing 0.5 BTC in the past may seem insignificant, but looking at the current price, everyone is stunned... yet it remains a beautiful memory of the past when you once gambled in large amounts in the form of BTC.
This might be the exact reason buddy regrets losing that amount to gambling, when he compares it to today's price it means a lot, but the fact remains that even if he did not loose it to gambling at that time, he might have still spent it on something else since he had no plans of holding it, so whichever way, it would still be gone. It is a memory, one that is not easily forgotten, I would do the same if I were him.
Why keep dwelling on past losses that no longer matter? Clearly, stress will arise if you keep thinking about it, so it's better to let it go and play again with money you're willing to lose.
It doesn't really mean he is dwelling on his losses, it only means he cannot forget it in a hurry judging from his tone of speech, there are some events that leaves an indelible mark on you and not that you are dwelling on it, but it comes to mind anytime you're dealing with something related to it, just like selling off my BTC in 2014 out of fear and mistaking bitcoin as PONZI, I do not dwell in it again, but anytime I see bitcoin price surge, I imagine the kind of riches my BTC could've brought me if I kept it and it fuels my desire to keep holding my current portfolio.
