It's taken me a couple days to come to terms with making the biggest financial mista
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Over the course of the last 5 months I became a crypto market master. I managed to turn about 2k into just over 10k. Legit was celebrating my awesomeness like a week ago as my portfolio officially cracked $10,000. </p> <p>I fucked up. Bad.</p> <p>I made a leverage call on Ethereum at 4,000 expecting it to go back up to 4,300ish and to cash in, again. But I was sloppy and I forgot to set a stop loss price. I spent the next week chasing my own tail down a rabbit hole of losses trying to hopelessly save what I could. Before I knew it, liquidated, boom, zero. This happened so fucking fast, it feels like a year since it happened but it's still this week.</p> <p>I'm sitting here with (thank God) the 1 ETH I staked and some change in BTC (like $400). The rebuild has begun. It hurts, bad. No one to blame but me. It's hard to not blame Elon, China, or whoever but it was my mistake.</p> <p>And all it took was one.</p> <p>With that said, time to get to work rebuilding, I know I'm not the only one, and there is something therapeutic about coming to a space that you know is going to say "I told you so" and just owning up to your mistake. </p> <p>So my name's Dave, I lost everything to a sloppy leverage play, I'm starting back from zero, who's with me?</p> <p>-edit- Ok technically not EVERYTHING, since I had something staked.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/DaveinOakland"> /u/DaveinOakland </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nionbp/its_taken_me_a_couple_days_to_come_to_terms_with/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nionbp/its_taken_me_a_couple_days_to_come_to_terms_with/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
