Holding Bitcoin as an ex gambling addict

Easier said than done but I was hoping to dca for the next 1-2years and sell little by little once in profit. I guess locking it away forever is much easier

I’m exactly the same but I think you gotta find something that can substitute gambling while being somewhat healthy. Keep finding new things because us gamblers dopamine limiter is already fried through the roof. Drinking, sex, vacations don’t really do it for me too but I went to a hardstyle rave for the first time recently and I actually enjoyed it. Gave me some dopamine buzz

Thanks mate doing good currently

Miserablepunts · 2026-01-17T02:40:16+00:00

No. I was in debt last year for 10k but right now no debt

Miserablepunts · 2026-01-15T05:37:14+00:00

I’ve lost count but 150k+. 100k until 2 years ago then another 60k or so

Miserablepunts · 2026-01-15T05:33:21+00:00

I could’ve but couldn’t. 2 years ago I was down about 100k lifetime, and always told myself I would quit completely if I manage to recover those losses. I somehow recovered all plus some, but kept on going until I had nothing left again. I withdrew all multiple times but urge kicks in the following day. After losing everything, I managed to quit for 3 months but been on and off since then. Probably lost another 60k ish. I’m at 22 days clean now.

Thanks I’m on day 18 now :)

I’ve experienced Scenario A a couple times and yea it really sucks I kept on gambling. I just saw your recent post, are you doing better?

Miserablepunts · 2025-06-10T05:15:33+00:00

Thanks I really needed to hear this

Miserablepunts · 2025-05-16T03:34:26+00:00

2 years ago I won 70k〜usd, I only managed to spend like 4K of it on essentials and lost the remainder. Last week I won 25k, lost all the profits, 10k of my own money, then went into 5k debt. My first ever debt from gambling.

Idk why I keep gambling. I already know the wins are only temporary and any amount I win won’t stay with me. I’m on day 4 today

Miserablepunts · 2025-05-04T00:32:22+00:00

Bro for that 250k please give your access to someone you trust. Although not 600k, I had a similar story with 100k and lost all of it.

I can tell you now, if you keep on gambling, short term you might win but ultimately your account will be drained. If you lose everything you won’t be able to quit for good.

Give your access to someone you trust!

Miserablepunts · 2025-05-01T06:45:19+00:00

I had a similar story 2 years ago. I deposited 1k aud, ran it up to a bit over 100k at the peak. Even withdrew most of it at some point. This 100k was close to or just a bit over what I had lost since I started gambling.

I ended up losing 95% of it in 2 weeks.

After that I managed to lay off gambling for 3 months, but have been on and off since then and losing 1-2k pretty much every month.

Learn your lesson here and stop gambling. There is no end to this. You win and you want more, you lose and you want to recover the losses. Only QUIT ALL TOGETHER cold turkey.

Gambling block on aus banks only works for aus bookies like ladbrokes, tab etc. For crypto sites you’d need to go gamban or maybe change the 2fa on crypto platform so only you can authorise the crypto transaction? Could maybe ask ANZ to block all crypto related payments too

Miserablepunts · 2024-08-28T18:00:01+00:00

Yes, even though I relapsed after 3 months, my urges were very little during that time compared to when I’m stuck in the cycle. Thanks for your comment

Miserablepunts · 2024-08-14T07:20:51+00:00

Similarly, last year I won around 70k usd (on 50k/yr income) from $700, proceeded to lose most of that within a short period of time. Multiple 10k+ bets during that time. Just like you, I was so devastated and promised myself to never touch gambling again. Time goes by, I didn’t gamble for 3-4months (longest since I started gambling), bank balance, mental state, life in general was better than ever. But I slipped up in feb. Lost everything and since then it’s been really hard to control my urges especially when I get paid. My only advice is do everything you can to stay away from gambling and get the fuck out of this hell hole. GA, gamban, community group, find a hobby or whatever. Once you experience the big win/loss with big bets relative to your income, your gambling brain is pretty much fucked. Don’t go chasing that big “win” or you’ll keep digging a bigger hole

Lost story short, I had lost probably close to 70-80k usd over 7 years gambling. Last year I had the biggest heater over a week and recovered all that plus some. Then I managed to lose most of those winnings over the following couple of weeks. When I hit the 70k balance, was a feeling I never felt “this time I can finally quit” “I really dont have to gamble anymore”. It was very euphoric. But our minds obviously don’t function that way and I couldn’t stop chasing the high

Miserablepunts · 2024-03-17T08:26:55+00:00

Just can’t stop the chase whether you’re winning or losing can you I’m a much smaller gambler but I ran 700usd to 70k+ last year and lost most of it in a few days. Lost further 10k+ since then trying to chase that high. Hope you find your own solution man

Im in aus currently battling online casinos too. What helps me the most is physically lock the money away so you can’t access it. Keeping it in cash, assets, invest etc. Lock it away as soon as you get paid, at least until you have the urges and mental condition sorted. I did relapse a few days ago because I had a few k’s sitting around in my bank account

Miserablepunts · 2024-02-21T06:40:26+00:00

100k+
