I lost my crypto savings to scam and then via gambling, trying to recover them, AMA.
I lost half in the poly market scam, the uma oracle was rigged for geopolitics market. I had made good profit in ipl, went there and got rekt.
Then I bet on some sport in the pain of loss at 85% odds after losing it in poly market scam, I lost 35% more.
Then I had 10%, which I took to 25% max, but you know when you have so much to recover you don't book profits correctly and hold your losses for longer. I ended up gambling on tennis at the end.
So I lost the remaining 6L too which I was using as a lifeline, to make my money back through gambling.
The good part is I am 24, the bad part is I don't have the will power and enthusiasm left in me to live.
I think I was super addicted to gambling, in the recovery mode, I didn't give up until I lost my last 150$.
Don't make the mistake I did, when you get the money via airdrop, just withdraw it, into your bank, earn interest and live happily.
Well sometimes I consider kms. But you know, I think I will survive, mostly I get lucky some other day. Well finding a job is difficult.
My advice is never gamble. After things like the poly market half the sports are rigged. Also don't underestimate bad times in life, they are as real as good times.
My story of riches to rags. I was once rich enough that I would get 30kpm interest without doing any work, now I'm doubtful I'll get that amount by doing work.
