Sad story of how I lost 13 ETH

Saddest story but when ethereum was $80 in december 2018 i was gambling with $4 because thats all i had in my pocket.

I had 0 expectations to achieve anything, i was just gambling it away for fun because if i lose 4$ who cares.

But i accidentally ended up with 13 ETH because of a glitch in the gambling site.

I wanted to round it to 100 because at that time 13 ETH was roughly $1000, so i kept going and lost it all.

Today those 13 eth are $39,000... I could have easily been a member of BAYC if i stopped and withdrew those 13 ethereum...

Don't gamble
There are tons of coulda woulda shoulda stories in the crypto market as well as every other market. Don’t think about it.

I have also gambled crypto years ago, amounts that would be worth a few hundred K in todays value.

Gambling aside you simply made bad investment decisions. When you start putting it into the right perspective you might find that you'll start making better decisions.
Hard to put those analogies. Even if you won how do you know you would've held and not cashed out?

I sold 50 ETH in 2018 during peak. If you count my "losses" from current peak I am down massively. But there has been many opportunities to buy between then and now.
I'm pretty sure a lot of us in this forum gambled massive amounts of Bitcoin on sites like Satoshi Mines back when Bitcoin was below 500. I'm talking millions of dollars at current prices lol.
BITCONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT
House always wins long term, if you got a glitch, that is a gift, should have run.

Never play against the house long term. Even short term is not worth it
I buy Amazon Gift Cards & Crypto for CashApp. PM me if you're selling
Don't be mad at yourself. I spent 3 bitcoins on a stupid item for a game back in 2010 or 2011..
If thats the case i gambled away 30m$+ worth btc XD
I had a good run so i dont want to complain. I withdrew just enough for a car and a nice house before losing it all

That really hurts me lol. 😕
Everyone has a crypto loss story and have only regrets. It sucks but it is what it is. Just keep moving forward and investing!
Staff will never reach out to you off-site. We only communicate on HF.
Sad to read things like this, but you have to view it as a costly learning experience that will prevent you from making mistakes like that in the future.

Im not mad since i have lost $4 as realized amount and 39,000$ of unrealized gain. But still the potential that i could have had is sad. I could have bought a car. I still cant afford a car though cause i invest all of my money and leave just enough money for me to eat and pay necessary bills.
you wont find 1 person in crypto that doesnt have a similar story.. i always think back to the days on HF when i used to enjoy reading the scammers section on this site. people used to get scammed for loads of bitcoins. i think bitcoin was like 50$ then.
