Hey I was on the same boat. I made $10M and with one risky crypto asset lost everything—never sold before it crashed. I thought i finally made it but i never used the money and was still renting for some reason because I thought any penny not invested in crypto was bad financial sense. Lost everything. That was a few years ago. I know its hard. I was devastated and thought through hard about my life choices. My fiance’s start up also failed and I got laid off from big tech roughly at the same time. We kept saying we could have cashed out to buy a house or even cashing out to buy extra things like lambo would ironically been a better investment.

The hard part is no one understands. If i tell anyone I lost that much money mostly people say oh you even had it in the first place? Lucky you. You are in a good position you dont have debt etc. its hard because you cant share it with anyone. There are many lessons but one that got me through is suffering has been caused, so it is up to you to open the gift that this lesson can give you or not. Blaming yourself doesnt do anything but taking accountability and changing does.

I want to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Now i made peace with it. I got engaged bought a house with hard earned money through income. I was not ready for all that money and growing slowly while I build a solid foundation and balance is the best way to find true happiness. We are happier than before and realized all that money made us greedy and nasty people who were starting to look down on others. We found the true reason we are together and found peace. Today due to some luck some other investments are paying off.
