I want to give y'all some perspecetive

Whether this is a coping mechanism or a form of self-harm, I am not sure, but reading the daily thread suggests some of you need perspective on how bad things can actually get.

In 2020, I gambled on Tezos and watched my bag climb to £50,000+. I was greedy and did not sell. I watched it crash into the low four figures and held until it stayed below its all-time low for weeks and didn't look to have any support and was just going lower. At that point, I finally swapped it for ZEC after that project had retraced ~50% from its latest pump.

After holding Tezos for six years, I made the move just in time for the media cycle regarding the ZEC team abandoning the project (whether they did or not, or whether it was just a "reshuffle" etc. doesn't matter, as I immediately lost another 20+% and it has only declined since.

I am not looking for sympathy. This was gambling money, though obviously it is money I could still use.

Inb4 "thanks for your sacrifice" and "bag holder" comments.
