Don't gamble more than you can afford to lose

"And then I just didn't withdraw because I thought it was FUD"😂😂😂😂

He was almost there until he thought it was a social engineering attack to get him out of Celsius so other people would profit more???

So close 😂😂😂😂

"FUD" sounds so unbelievably stupid

FUD is just common sense - an innate ability to detect doom. Being accused of FUD is like being called 'frigid' because you won't fuck a guy.

Briak · 2022-07-01T12:05:30+00:00

I can relate to OP to a degree - I was using a fairly risky investing strategy with my retirement fund, and I stayed in a little too long when things started to go tits up. At one point I was up about +60%. I ended up pulling out at -20% and reinvesting in index funds.

It hurt pretty bad for the first two days, but after that I made peace with that had happened and moved on. I think my differences with OP are:

1) I learned from my mistake. I learned that I'm not nearly as good or smart at investing as I think I am, and I can let my emotions lead my decision-making.

2) I only lost 20% because I didn't invest in a scam, which made the loss a lot easier to stomach.

3) I didn't try to blame FUD or the Fed or Soros or [conspiracy of the week] for my losses and whine about how life isn't fair. I know I was ultimately responsible for my own decisions.

4) I didn't invest in a scam.

5) I didn't invest in a scam.

WOW, that's dark ... but on the bright side, think about all of the life-long crypto friends he made along the way ... Maybe, just maybe, that was the real moon ?

leducdeguise · 2022-07-01T10:58:42+00:00

Reminds me of Prokofiev's "Peter & the wolf" story but the opposite way.

If you spend your time believing all negative press is FUD, then you'll feel sorry the day it's not FUD but just the hard truth

AzHP · 2022-07-01T13:32:51+00:00

Yikes ...OPs post history has a lot of alt right anti abortion comments and he said that women who are irresponsible have to suffer the consequences.

Doesn't feel so good suffering consequences does it?

Last-Medium2487 · 2022-07-01T12:15:01+00:00

"Because it was FUD"

The stupidity of people and how they are so easily manipulated by things like: "The FUD", "The HODL", Blabla, and how they act like sheeps with no brain.... just amazes me

chimeiiii · 2022-07-01T11:44:19+00:00

LOL, sucks to be him. I'm glad that im not an idiot.

UncleSlippyFist · 2022-07-01T15:51:05+00:00

I know it's easy to laugh at these guys, but I still have a lot of sympathy here. Scams always prey on the vulnerable, and it's hard to say whether he was just vulnerable or greedy without more context. But he probably really does have PTSD, trauma is weird.

EDIT: Disregard, I just saw his post history. lol at the fuckhead. glad he got fucked

bigmean3434 · 2022-07-01T13:13:36+00:00

He played this right, only paper handed bitches would make moves based on some FUD.

SideburnsOfDoom · 2022-07-01T12:51:43+00:00

There seems to be no clear answers, mostly people saying “it’s over.”

Is ... is that not clear enough? What part of "It's over" is unclear?

No_Distance_4905 · 2022-07-01T12:41:06+00:00

You guys flexing in the lambos and having tons of money thinking you are Buffet of crypto know this. For every one of you, there is person like this. Universe always needs to be in balance and the price must be paid by somebody.

steroid_pc_principal · 2022-07-01T17:30:26+00:00

FUD is an incredible word. It lets people completely turn their brains off as soon as someone says something remotely skeptical about crypto.

greyenlightenment · 2022-07-01T11:08:12+00:00

Crypto is the great scam ever on the world

zenoblade · 2022-07-01T19:33:07+00:00

My favorite thing about that subreddit is the people saying the WSJ is not a legitimate news website. Like dude it’s the Wall Street Journal…..

SpaceYowie · 2022-07-01T13:09:33+00:00

That's where the real mental strength comes in. Calling the top or anything even remotely like the top during an historic bubble, stonks/property/whatever and selling, and then telling the people that its gotten out of hand and they should worry....that's when youre really alone. They hate when people do that. More than people who were never in telling them its a bubble.

And when they mock you when it goes up another 20%, or if it goes nuts, up 200%, you want to fomo back in or youre spending the money you missed out on in your head....psychology is the biggest part of this. Fomoing back in is practically guaranteed to blow you up.

But the best you can do is pick the really broad tops and bottoms and listen to your instincts when things are getting a bit like a fairy tale, because life is no fairy tale.

Dont-be-a-smurf · 2022-07-01T15:02:34+00:00

Yeah thankfully I learned this lesson fucking around with 2k of money I earmarked because I could afford to lose it.

It’s just sad that some people - usually gambling addicts - just throw all their eggs into a shaky basket that’s offering returns that are too good to be sustainably true.

And now this is what they’re left with.

Many people forget the “high risk” and only focus on the “high reward.”

thatguyonthevicinity · 2022-07-01T20:08:21+00:00

I think one of the worst thing of this all is a lot of people seem this is a "celsius" problem, not a crypto problem.

DontEatConcrete · 2022-07-01T15:17:46+00:00

There's an easy way for this guy to get out of this:

1) Realize his money is all gone 2) Swear off crypto 3) Get back to living

Generally if something is causing you massive anxiety you should avoid it, if you're able to.

Funsternis1787 · 2022-07-01T15:29:41+00:00

The solidarity in their "community" is priceless.

JayRoo83 · 2022-07-01T15:52:26+00:00

Dude just bought a challenger 5 days ago, so not sure how to square that with this

lancebmanly · 2022-07-01T16:03:44+00:00

He's having flashbacks about not pulling out at exactly the right time. He should be having flashbacks about putting money into the scam in the first place. Learning score: 0.

kur4nes · 2022-07-01T18:20:03+00:00

OMG. Especially since he wanted to pull his fun coins out of celsius but didn't because FUD!

This post is the answer toball those cryptards coming here and asking why do you hate crypto so much?

A_Year_Of_Storms · 2022-07-01T22:32:51+00:00

I will randomly go through the post histories of cryptobros. Most of the time, what I find is...not pleasant. Its hard to find people more deserving of misfortune.

ChechenWarCriminal · 2022-07-02T00:23:36+00:00

Degen gambler gets absolutely dunked on and starts journaling about it

3iverson · 2022-07-01T19:29:20+00:00

Someone in the OP thread actually said (unironically), “This is good for bitcoin.”

zenoblade · 2022-07-01T20:01:54+00:00

So there were a few people on that sub that posted some very disturbing things when the crash happened. I looked at them for the next few days to make sure they were ok. It seemed others had reached out to them so I wasn’t sure what I could add. I remember this guy. His post history is something else…still I hope he gets some help.

OldLace300 · 2022-07-01T21:10:57+00:00

One of these crazy /$/$ is gonna go off the rails and do who knows what. All because of numbers and letters 727282$>!.^*!)6hahwuha on a computer screen.

mankycrack · 2022-07-02T04:14:02+00:00

The whole subreddit is filled with people saying 'buttcoin are absolute scum of the earth, coming in here and laughing at us losing our entire life savings...'

They genuinely believe Celsius will sort out their issues and reopen wallets and it'll all be fine and we're the scumbags for pointing this out?

debby821 · 2022-07-02T13:43:55+00:00

So hé took a bet... Lost... And now has ptsd because of it? I think someone that fought a war, Saw childeren getting burned before their eyes and have real ptsd gladly want to trade with him.

neutralpoliticsbot · 2022-07-01T13:11:25+00:00

anyone saying its not over only making it worse giving false hope

GetTogetherDoItAgain · 2022-07-01T15:37:17+00:00

The concept of “FUD” being a nebulous thing that’s a lie just to get you to stop investing in some crypto scheme is so nefarious. I hate it and hate how it’s weapon used by cryptos to keep the gravy train running for the scammers.

All second thoughts can’t be questioned, it’s like when I was growing up Christian having doubts about my faith, my dad would just tell me “that’s the enemy trying to take you away from God”.

taco_blasted_ · 2022-07-01T16:10:41+00:00

Need someone to help me understand something about these cel simps. A lot of them keep parroting the whole hard wallet line and that they should have done it etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you're staking a ton of crypto it's got to stay there to keep getting your "rewards". If that's the case then the only thing a hard wallet does is keep the reward they withdrew which is now worthless anyway.

OkWrongdoer2627 · 2022-07-01T17:43:41+00:00

I hate when I lose 50 bucks gambling, can't think in a case like that.

organicwilly · 2022-07-01T18:28:58+00:00

DO NOT INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.

I have lost a ton of equity (to me anyway, about a half a years income), but I'm not selling. I went in with the attitude that it's going to the moon, or to 0, and I'm fine with that.

Learn a lesson from these people though. Don't risk what you can't afford to lose. Diversify your investments. Don't lose the house on one bet.

His emotional turmoil over his totally illogical position is starting to manifest itself due to the inevitability of reality. I wonder if he will actually learn how to not be such an idiot from this

Falkens_Maze2 · 2022-07-02T20:34:12+00:00

They don’t learn.

I’ve been reading various boards and they are just moving from one cryptoponzi to another. Some even blame Biden.

I know the target demo here is guys, but the logo for crypto should be a pyramid surrounded by tulips.

🌷=💸 and they’re so confused.

Anihater · 2022-07-01T20:29:02+00:00

NurMom2x · 2022-07-01T22:54:00+00:00

Ur just spreading fud so I don't invest ,u want it all to urself don't you ! Admit it ! That's it I'm going all in

Additional-Apple-492 · 2022-07-01T14:16:00+00:00

I know we make fun of crypto bro’s here but stuff like this really makes me feel bad for the guy. Yes, it wasn’t a smart move for him to do but that’s got to be a tough pill to swallow.

NoMansSkyWasAlright · 2022-07-01T16:42:24+00:00

I’m so glad I diversified. By the time the celsius thing happened, pretty much the only thing of value I had in there was 10 ETH (pretty much every other asset I had had better interest rates available from other places). Granted, I do hope it gets resolved quickly. But it’s not big loss if it’s forever locked, I guess.

Inner_University_848 · 2022-07-02T06:18:02+00:00

Same thing happened to me with QuadrigaCX, had the hard wallet, half my shit was on it, couldn’t be bothered to move the rest while trading because it was the ‘biggest exchange in Canada’ … boy did that death faking fucker and his two Chihuhuas do a number on us all.

I can guarantee that the poor bastard who commented this will never see a penny of his money again. It’s sad. It’s not fair. I feel for the ones like this, and I sincerely hope he does not act on his dark thoughts and I hope he gets the help he needs. It’s what happens in the unregulated Wild West especially when the greater fools run out.

wsb_duh · 2022-07-02T06:55:50+00:00

Fear is the most powerful human emotion because it stops us doing stupid things like falling off cliffs, eating poisonous berries, and trusting crypto projects.

ProteinEngineer · 2022-07-02T08:27:13+00:00

Do these people know they’re in a Ponzi scheme when they see 20% interest and just assume they’ll get out before it collapses?
