It's that time again, where bitcoin(and pretty much almost every other non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies) does a huge nosedive. This is just a reminder that whatever amount you've "lost" with the market crash, in the end, it's just money. Money can be made back in the future through multiple various ways, whereas you have only
one life to live. It's not the end.
Whether you're invested in bitcoin, whatever altcoin, or even the stock markets, if you've been having suicidal thoughts, please think twice and try talking to a professional.
For the suicide hotline for the country you're in, please refer to this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesTimes like today are so reminiscent of the last market crash whereas suicide-related posts and suicide hotlines are popping out on multiple crypto-related subreddits. But yea, this might be cheesy as hell, and while a lot of people here have been here since like forever(hence are probably immune to the effects of these crashes at this point), but if this saves one person it's well worth it.
Happy trading and investing!
EDIT (July 20th 2021): The entirety of the cryptocurrency markets is going to goblin town again. Just a quick reminder to keep your time preference high. The day I posted this topic(March 13, 2020), bitcoin's price was around $5000. Hodling works, ladies and gentlemen.
This post was made roughly 8 months ago but is still very timely. Thank you for this encouraging post. It is surely a great reminder for those who are going through a rocky patch now that we are currently in the downtrend season of crypto.
Entering crypto is a great risk. You should know the basics and fundamentals first before diving into it to avoid regrets soon after. It is not for the faint-hearted and weak minds. Someone has to be mentally and emotionally capable to handle all the paranoia. stress, and anxiety whenever the time isn't in our favor. That is why I salute every one of you who still manages to smile and be optimistic in these times of crisis because clearly, it isn't that easy to accept sudden losses. Regret always lingers, and it would be really bothering, most especially if it involves a large amount.
However, you must not be carried away by these negative emotions. Don't let it overtake your life and destroy you. Instead, use these kinds of unfortunate events as a learning experience that would equip you with knowledge and wisdom in doing crypto. Just think of it as a charge for experiencing your lesson well so that in the future, you could avoid similar and unpleasant instances. It would be hard to accept, but you could do it, step by step. Because after all, what's "lost" is already lost. We just got to move on and do better next time. And the next time we are doing things, we would apply all that we learned in our past experiences.
Now that the prices in the market went rock-bottom, consider it as a great opportunity to buy coins with potential. Make sure to do your own research of course and to still only invest what you can afford to lose. If you are still feeling unwell, you can try to open up with your trusted homies, so that your burdens will be lessened. If you don't have any, I suggest what OP mentioned here which is to contact hotlines that could cater your needs. Best of luck to all of us. I sincerely hope we all make it to our goal.
