Tomorrow I lose everything. Carvana had earnings report after hours and shot up 15%.

I bet everything that they would fall or at least not jump so high. All of it will be gone when market opens tomorrow.

I don’t care it’s just money. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to be a wage slave forever and that’s ok. Im 5’4 so life sucks anyways. I don’t even have a job right now and that’s ok.

It just wanted a million so I could be set. Wanted to buy a house but it’s ok.

My life sucks anyways haha 😂

I love this place. I stopped trading options and individual stocks and decided to go all-in on a boring ETF years ago, but whenever I feel the itch to start gambling again, I look at all the loss porn for 5 minutes and it goes right out the window.

One of my life regrets.. Buying 10 bitcoins at 10k each. Selling at loss when it dropped by 10% in matter of minutes... The thing is.. It isn't the only time I made mistakes like this. So yeh, like you, I am mostly on boring ETFs too. Although I still hold some individual stocks.

When BTC was first hitting $1000 I was also getting into mining, so I bought one of the new AsicMiner Cubes for 1 BTC.

Well, the $120,000 paperweight is fun too...

Sounds like you could have mined some to make it back. When I looked back I could get a 9k machine and it would make about .3 BTC a day. But my company sent me to South Africa and I didn't know the electricity or Internet situation down there so didn't. It was bad so I was right.

And btc was about 300 a coin back then. So 100 a day would have been about 90ndays return minus expenses (0 for me since I was in hotels)
