A thread on how I went from a crypto-millionaire to broke in 6 months due to leverage, a gambling addiction and an accelerating negative spiral.
Below is a full serie of liquidation mails over the last 6 months. Lost my last hand yesterday.

Started in 2017 with $10.000 and made it up to $1.100.000 (millionaire). 4 years of research, much time and energy, combined with luck & a bull market.
180 days to completely ruin it.
I can’t even describe how this feels. Absolutely devastated and outzoned for like the last 24h

Life changing money was made, I could have a passive income for the rest of my life, enjoy my life to the fullest.
Far and long travels, take extra unpaid holidays as I could afford it, give to charity, randomly give people big tips, create happiness. I love this 100x more than spending it on expense champagne bottles, that’s just not me.
I bought time, and lots of it. And now I lost time, and lots of it.
It gave me so many opportunities, and now I lost all of these.
I could become who I wanted to be, to be proud of myself (I was). The life I wanted was so close, and now it’s so far away.

I’m constantly lost in thoughts.
I see an appartment for sale, I feel the pain. I know that one could’ve been mine and was great passive income for decades to come.
And now it’s gone.

Seeing people travel the world? Pain
Hear people talk about investments? Pain
Something about crypto or passive income? Pain

Seeing a nice car? Pain. I am definitely not materialistic, but I always loved fast cars.
An ad for a holiday? Pain
I’m constantly being reminded and it’s mentally exhausting.

Typing this with tears in the eye and shame, feels humiliating. Feels like I failed in life and let my family and friends down, who knew about my succeedings.
Was I better off before crypto? “You can’t miss what you never had”.
But I ‘had’ it and saw it as a part of my life, and now that it’s gone it’s extremely painful.
I was better off before.

The addiction has been impacting my life, unfortunately in a negative way.
Not showing the best version of myself. Not on the job, not towards my partner, not towards my friends and family. Didn’t take care of my mental being.

Ignoring my friends here in DM who told me to stay away from leverage. I knew it was true, but couldn’t resist. It was bigger than me.
Sorry @bearishbulltard, @cryptocevo, @VanshillaIce, @ChrisRomanoC and many others.
Sorry @bearishbulltard, @cryptocevo, @VanshillaIce, @ChrisRomanoC and many others.
Don’t even know why I’m sharing this and make myself extremely vulnerable, I just hope that speaking it out and sharing it, makes it easier for me to close this awful situation and try to move on.
I hope it helps others not to make the same mistake. Let me pay the hard money, and save your own ass.
Do. Not. Use. Leverage.
Have an addiction or problems? TALK. Seek Help. Listen to advice.

What’s next for me?
Find peace, stability. Try to enjoy the little things.
It seems undoable for now, but one step at a time.
