Cryptocurrency trading has taken away my motivation for life
I have always liked investing, but my experience in the crypto world has completely turned me into a gambler. Now, looking back, I have completely collapsed. Home is no longer a harbor I can rely on, and there is no hope for promotion or salary increase at work. Every day I do some scattered small jobs, earning a few dozen yuan, feeling like I am wasting time. I look down on small money, yet big money always eludes me. Decades of hard work have turned into nothing in an instant in the crypto world. Now, I feel like a nobody, living like a beast, really not knowing what to do next.
Once, my life was a bit different—I had hundreds of thousands in savings, a stable job, a loving partner, and two children at home. Everything looked beautiful. But now, I dare not return home, and friends avoid me when they see me. I've lost weight, frowning every day, and I am on the verge of collapse. I keep borrowing money from various platforms, even placing bets to buy some virtual items. I even feel that I am worse than a beast.
Last year, the market crash in the crypto world caused me to lose nearly 500,000, and more seriously, I entered the contract market, which devoured me in this merciless market. In 2022 alone, I lost over 1 million, and this year I lost more than 300,000. Now, bank loans have become a burden I carry every day, and my salary is not enough to cover the bills. I have lost my direction and don't know how to continue. If it weren't for my elderly parents and young children, perhaps I would have chosen to give up long ago.
Looking back, as a man in my 30s, I stubbornly refused to listen to advice and went my own way, ultimately leading to this point. Now, what should I do to find myself and escape this abyss?
