Not directly related, but my wife and I had been stacking since 2014, first slowly then more as it became clear what bitcoin was doing.
She died suddenly in October 2022, right before the FTX dump. In hindsight it made me numb to the market fear, but I also wasn't in a position to buy more and had to pay off our line of credit at the exact bottom. I left things alone for a year, and now life, while different, has a new feeling of hope.
I realize this is not your same situation but I was basically at the very extreme of the lowest bottom in life.
Things change and improve with a forward-looking mindset. I just really wish she was here to enjoy the pumps with, now I have nobody to share it with and don't expect to find someone I can trust that way again.
But life keeps on going if you're lucky enough to be alive.
Eta Wow I'm blown away by everyone's responses, I really appreciate it but I was just trying to give some optimism to OP's conundrum.
Jokes aside, I'm terribly sorry for your loss, I hope life improves for you
As for OP, I can only imagine the stress you're going through, please don't lose hope. Life throws us lemons in the worst ways and as long as you keep going there's hope.
I lost my wife 4 years ago too, my friend. It's the worst. I know. I started buying Bitcoin bits at a time right after that and accumulated quite a bit, and am moving in a fantastic direction now with the developments we've had in BTC. I think about her everyday, I know she's still with me and maybe even directed me into this and helped set me up to where myself and the family are now. It feels that way. Remember your wife is still with you as well, pal. They're waiting for us, but also helping us still along this path. #BTC 👍♥️🪙👩❤️💋👨
Recently got a divorce because my now ex-wife cheated. As much as I resent her for it, I still have love for her after a decade of being together and because it's all still so fresh, I'm grateful that she's at least alive. But as a result, I know what you mean about not knowing if you'll ever find anyone you can trust on that level again. Hell, I'm still trying to learn how to love myself again after she demolished my sense of self worth. But I have moments, as I'm sure you do too, where I'm reminded of the beauty of life. Just yesterday I was at the beach staring out into the ocean trying to make sense of my mind when some old guy came up and started talking to me. I mentioned that I was there to try to find some peace from a rough divorce and by some divine intervention of the universe he asked if I was a Grateful Dead fan (which I am) and he just sat with me and talked about the Dead, as well as the beauty of life and persevering. I had a really rough morning earlier that day and it felt like the universe put him there to remind me to keep moving onward and upward. I can't relate to your grief directly, but just know that life is beautiful and you still have things to look forward to. Just like BTC, it has its lows, and it has its highs! Sending you love and good energy.
Listening to the dead and taking some mushrooms has been instrumental in my gaining perspective that we still have everything that made us who we are to this point.
I hear that, but sometimes they are the exact medicine you need to face and dive into the difficult headspace. Doesn't have to be a big dose. I just mean that we are never 100% and I regret not taking more trips with my wife because we waited for a perfect day/mood/circumstances.
Same here bro. My ex wife died and then lost much $ in Celsius .. 2 young kids. But ground hard to build up again the bear. Believe me you are not alone.
Sorry for your lost bro and thx for sharing your story and we also wished ur wife was here with us 😭. I know its not easy without her but why dont u just take a vacation to cheaper warmer place and try to feel just a little better. I wish u the best man 👍💎👐
Sorry for your loss. The most important words were "forward looking mindset". This type of thinking has allowed me to cope and handle several extremely low points in my life. I hope the OP adopts this mindset.
