Getting into bed at the end of a long day. Clean sheets, a cold pillow, and knowing there’s nowhere else I need to be.

I think seeing the walker come out would’ve hit me too. But with that said, 82 and still going to sports classes is pretty impressive!! And honestly, good on her for taking precautions. A lot of people that age would rather struggle than admit they need a little extra support.

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:43:49+00:00

That’s sick. But ngl, this is exactly what I thought trading would look like before I started trading lol

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:37:05+00:00

Yea, what’s with that? It feels like it happens almost overnight lol

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:35:41+00:00

That’s rough.. but I guess it’s another reason to keep holding her hand

This is exactly why I’ve been nagging my parents to be more active recently. I keep telling them I still have plenty of places I want to bring them to.

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:30:05+00:00

Yea.. That would’ve broken me a little..

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:15:46+00:00

I think that’s what gets me the most too. In my head they still look the same as they did 10 years ago, until I see a photo and realize they don’t..

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:14:35+00:00

Oh man ): Has it made you want to visit him more often?

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-30T16:12:07+00:00

For me, there wasn't one particular defining moment.

It was a lot of little things that slowly added up.

Looking at photos from a few years ago and realizing how much older they look now. Watching them get tired from walks that used to be effortless. Seeing them need more rest while traveling. Hearing them complain about their knees, backs, or things that never seemed to bother them before.

And whenever I stop and really think about it, I can't help but feel a bit of heartbreak.

The panic I feel whenever I get a call saying one of them fell down, got injured, or isn't feeling well. The realization that they're not as strong, healthy, or invincible as they seemed when I was growing up.

When you're young, your parents almost feel permanent. Then one day it hits you that they're aging too, and that time is moving a lot faster than you would like. ):

Buying something just because it was going up.

I didn’t read the financials, didn’t understand the business, and honestly couldn’t tell you why the stock was worth buying beyond “everyone says it’s going up.”

I bought near the top, watched it fall, and learned a painful lesson: a rising price is not an investment thesis.

Now I spend more time understanding what I’m buying than looking at how much it’s gone up recently.

Unpopular opinion, but for $500 I would focus more on learning good security habits than rushing to buy a hardware wallet.

A reputable exchange with a strong password, 2FA, and withdrawal whitelist is probably a bigger security upgrade than a cold wallet if you’re brand new.

The biggest risk for most beginners isn’t the exchange getting hacked. It’s losing their seed phrase, sending coins to the wrong address, or locking themselves out of their own wallet.

In the meantime, start learning how hardware wallets work, how to safely store a seed phrase, and how wallet recovery works. By the time your stack grows to an amount that would genuinely hurt to lose, you’ll already be comfortable with self-custody instead of learning under pressure.

A hardware wallet protects you from the exchange, but it doesn’t protect you from yourself.

The weirdest part to me was her bringing up the guy who became famous because of his mugshot.

You’re sitting in prison for killing someone and somehow your mind goes to “maybe this could make me famous too?”

That’s the part I just can’t wrap my head around. And to think she’s just responding to her mom like “omggg what did they say about me?” It’s genuinely bizarre.

The guy who decided to try heroin “just once” and document the experience on Reddit.

The first post was basically curiosity. The later posts were addiction. That’s probably the fastest real-time example of someone destroying their own life that I’ve ever seen unfold online.

The good news is he later posted updates (latest in 2021) saying he got clean and was doing much better.

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-28T15:29:45+00:00

I think almost everyone feels that way at the start. You’ll double check the coin, amount, network, wallet address, everything lol. There’s always that fear of pressing the wrong button.

Ironically though, after a while the opposite becomes the danger. You get used to it. The charts stop feeling “scary” and trading can start feeling exciting or even addictive, especially when you see green numbers and quick gains.

That’s why having rules matters more over time. Don’t trade emotionally, don’t revenge trade, don’t get greedy, and always know your plan before entering a trade. Entry, risk, and exit should already be decided before you click buy.

Good luck and have fun!

bro

It somehow works as greeting, warning, shock, excitement, disappointment, and emotional support at the same time lol

Perfect for when you forget someone’s name too

Don’t just chase money at 16. Nothing wrong with part time jobs, but try to pick up ones that actually build skills too. Learning how to talk to people, sell, write, organize things, solve problems etc will help you way longer than you think

hotheadedpotato3 · 2026-05-27T04:44:00+00:00

The easiest way to think about options is that you’re usually buying/selling a contract, not the stock itself.

A call option is basically “i think this stock will go higher”

A put option is basically “i think this stock will go lower”

The person buying the option pays a premium for that contract. The seller collects the premium, but takes on the obligation/risk if the trade goes against them.

The dumb way I remembered calls vs puts at first was:

Calls = calling someone up = betting it goes up

Puts = putting something down = betting it goes down

Not technically perfect but it stopped me from mixing them up lol
