On Jan 30th, 2021 I bought 200Billion Shiba inu for roughly $500. This was my first ever cryptocurrency purchase. I then sold my stack 3 days later for around $~8K. I thought I won the lottery and I thought that I just couldn’t lose with this crypto shit. I gambled with more and more shitcoins in the proceeding months but went broke after getting rugpulled. I just checked MetaMask and my original stack of Shiba inu would’ve been worth $5M USD.
How do I get over this? I literally can’t stop thinking about what I missed. My heart feels empty. Shiba was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I’ll never get a stroke of dumb luck like that again.
My moms losing the house, I can’t afford to go back to college, I’m too dumb to learn to code. I’ve lost all motivation to actually work for anything. Shiba was my ticket to the big leagues.
I dunno how I would get over this if it happened to me
Caleb Parker
Thanks for playing.
Hudson Mitchell
I bought a lotto ticket and won $8k. I found out if I had picked different numbers I would have won $5mil. This sounds ridiculous. So do you.
James Moore
its called losing. get over it this is a casino.
Ryan Davis
You weren't actually any close to those 5 millions than you are now. It was just luck.
Blake Hughes
Simple, have a sell limit How much money you really need? And how much you are willing to loose? Would you cry yourself to bed if you lost that 500? so there is no lost limit, lets look at the winrar limit. How much money you actually need? Just 10k? 100? 1m? Put a limit there and only sell it then. But have a reasonable number. You might need 500k or even 2m but you don't need 50m or 100m That way you would sold at 1m

It just hurts really bad cuz instead of gambling like a dumbass, I could’ve just sat on my ass and played video games for ONE(1) year and became a millionaire. By doing nothing. The money wasn’t even mine. my mom lended it to me and I payed her back after making the $8K. I literally could've became rich by doing absolutely nothing.
But noooooooo. I had to make it more complicated for myself
Adrian James
you wouldve sold wayyyyyy before 5M anyway, in no world would you have held this shitcoin from 8k to 5M, hope that makes you feel better
Ryder Johnson
If you hadn't sold at $8k, you would have sold at $80k. If you hadn't sold at $80k, you surely would have sold at $800k, etc. On the opposite end, there are people who held dozens of other dogcoins and failed to take profits. They shot a little bit into it, became millionaires on paper, held too long and are now back to being poorfags.
The lesson is that you can't foresee the future, so the best move is to take profits gradually instead of being all-in or all-out

I think at least half of us on this hell board have been through this exact same thing. For me, it was Pikachu (Ticker: $PIKA) - bought $300 day of launch, prior to even the first 'meme season' in 2020. Did a little pump, cashed out for like $1200 - not even a week later the mega pump week happened, would have been $3m at the top.
How do I cope? by convincing myself i would have never timed it perfectly anyway - but I'm still reminded every day. People like us, we just gotta keep trying. makes me sick though
Charles Morales
This, it would be impossible to hold until it reaches 5M because it doesn't make any fucking sense, no one could hold it for more than 100k. The only way you could have made that money is if you actually forgot about it, and we wouldn't know if you would have remembered by now.
Leo Bailey
That's your fault you never sold everything. Take out initial and some profit and let the rest ride. Hope your learned your lesson. Also anything is possible in crypto and if you're meant to be rich one day then you will be otherwise move on what's done is done. If it can helped there are probably lots of people like you that missed on big gains it's part of the game.
Alexander Cox
that's why you DCA out of positions. Not to rub salt, but OP could have cashed out a little bit here and there all the way to the top, would have never been close to 5m, but yeah
Jayden Phillips
I sold it in February 2021 and the coin had it’s huge rally in April 2021. Literally 2(TWO) months of gaming. I feel so sick to my stomach right now.
Alexander Morgan
Spilt milk under the bridge. Everyone who got into crypto before this bullrun has sold off some bags way too fucking early. The only thing we can do is learn from it
Dylan Campbell
Time. Anger and ''what ifs'' will dull over time and you simply won't care about it any longer, just like you don't care how in 1st grade someone said you are stupid. You take a lesson out of this and move on. Happened to me when I bought LTC for 4$, held for months, got nervous and when I saw it going to 11$, I sold. Only for it to reach 350$ 3 month later. Weeks of cursing and walking around like being muslim strapped with dynamite, waiting to fuck shit up.
Thomas Hernandez
dont be mad bro...same happened to me with hokk.After months of crabbing i finally sold for a loss and a couple weeks later it fucking moons like shit. There even was a guy who sold his 2BILLION$ shib stack for 2 eth or something
Remind yourself that you did it once, and can damn sure do it again. This time leave yourself a moon bag always. Because you never know what might happen in a year.
Grimace Coin, it’s a really really good fucking opportunity right now. One of those rare projects that come around where everything just lines up too perfectly.
The community confidence in this thing is insane, the teams already running it like a business, building non crypto assets to generate cashflow to feed its own ecosystem.
It’s big, and it’s damn worth the chance.
Twitter is bscgrimacecoin and it’s followed by a few of the McDonald’s officials.
Bentley Stewart
Purple ticker. It’s fucking programmed.
Joshua Mitchell
ok, seems like this is what you wanna hear...
you fucked up. you literally burned 5 million dollars, you couldve bought a house, or multiple properties and started renting them, you could've had generational wealth. you couldve done WAHTEVER you want without a worry in the world. but you fucked it up.
Chase Nguyen
Fuck off retard even when a bro is asking for help you cannot help but shill your stupid shit. Motherfucker stupid faggot.
Parker Young
>Hokk mooned Don’t know how the fuck they put hokk at the current price point but even if you held you would have never been able to sell since there was/is no liquidity
Jayden Evans
It had pretty decent liquidity when the mcap was around $500M. A buddy of mine cashed out 3 mill across two days and every dip from his sell was eaten up pretty quickly
Adam Davis
Anyone who's been here for more than a couple years has a similar story. I bought a ton of link at $0.16 and sold for a loss. That's why we're all so bitter and nasty
