to follow up this:
first of all, i didn’t write this for empathy or sympathy, or to look for any donations or anything like that. in saying that, i really do appreciate the kind comments, messages, and general support from everyone - it really goes a long way in a time like this, so thanks to you all for checking up on me❤️
to summarize what happened:
- i had leveraged long positions open on various cexs, with relatively low leverage and good margin. i just didn’t even consider or expect that the coins i had positions in could be so illiquid and nuke 60%+ in such a short timespan.
i was actually out for dinner when it happened, completely unaware. when i got home and opened my screens, i was met with the horror of seeing everything wiped in real time.
so yeah, all of my perps accounts were completely wiped, and the only thing that remains are the stables i had set aside earlier this year, as well as my spot BTC and (most of my) HYPE positions (s/o @izebel_eth who partly inspired me to retain my faith in these assets as choices), which respectively accounted for roughly 13% and 31% of my entire portfolio (combined, they now account for about 80% of my crypto portfolio lol).
anyway, where to from here? well, i sure as hell didn’t come this far just to come this far. sure, i may not be the sharpest trader, but i think it takes certain skills (in whatever form they’ve shown up) to run up the multiples i did - and i don’t think my edges have suddenly vanished.
thankfully, i still have a large lighter pts bag to look forward to, which will definitely offset some of the losses, as well as some other airdrops i’m exposed to that’ll hopefully help a bit (i realize how sad that sounds, but it’s what came to mind when thinking about this situation as a whole).
look, i don’t like trying to predict markets or say where things will be at certain times, but i’m confident i’ll earn back what i lost - it’ll just require a lot more locking in from me. so, in saying that, i’m also pleased to announce that i’ll officially be stepping back from my regular job for the foreseeable future. this choice isn’t something that was made suddenly - it’s something i’ve been thinking about for a long time, and this event just triggered my final decision. i genuinely believe it’s the right one.
i write this with a clear head, sitting on the beach watching the sun set, and i can honestly say i’ve never felt more at peace with everything that’s happened.
anyway, this was written entirely freehand, with no “planning”, and i don’t even think many will read it - but i wanted to address everything, and i think i owe it to the small circle of people on ct i know and truly love.
lastly, I would not be here without God, and I know his plan for me is greater than any amount of money or time on this earth could bring. with my faith in him, I know he will lead my down the right path.
so to whoever made it this far, i appreciate you, i thank you for reading this, and up and to the right we go :)

Almost a year ago, I blew out pretty much my entire portfolio.
I was financially forced to move out of my first owned home and move back in with my parents. I'd never known defeat the way did that day, face to face. What was once a symbol of victory quickly turned into my biggest failure.
A lot of things went through my mind those days. Where did I go wrong? Should I get a job? Is crypto even the right industry to pursue? Do I actually know what I'm doing or did I simply get lucky? Should I just give up?
Nah, I wouldn't give up. I was determined to understand where I went wrong and what could I do to stop that from happening again. After all, if you've hit rock bottom, the only way is up - and if there was an industry where you could bounce back the hardest, crypto is the one.
Today, I've finally paid off all my debt and my portfolio is at aths.
I couldn't be more grateful of the lessons I learned the last two years, by far the hardest of my life. It taught me to be grateful, humble, disciplined, and to help others in need.
Can't wrap this up without thanking the one person who helped me the most, @MiKeMeUpP, and my friends over @spiritdao , @gcblur and @Mona_Collective , love you all ❤️.

All the hours of sitting at pc for 12-15 hours a day, all the grinding and burn out, losses, wins and round trips have led us to this play. Neglecting family and friends has been tough but it’s because we believed in changing our lives. And this is it, the kingmaker trade.
Congrats to everyone, my life has officially changed forever and I’ll always be thankful for my goat @realDonaldTrump
