    Let me tell you a story… I sold off all my Bitcoin and put it all into GME stock right when it was starting to go up… Because why not right? It wasn’t much like it was worth 1000 bucks or something… Because everyone said the bitcoin bubble was going to pop or something… And then Bitcoin went from 30k to 60k in like two months… And now it’s closer to 100k

    Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I’m selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two months

        I think people underestimate the mental health benefits of never thinking about whether number you can’t control or predict go up or down.

          It’s not I assure you… I paid like 50 bucks for the Bitcoin I think maybe 100 at most… I had it for a while… I don’t care about the money it’s mostly written off I just let it sit at this point because you can’t time the market or something

            It’s more a commentary on your writing style, but the potential for satireality is written all over it.

      Taking the loss on GameStop is something you can take as a tax write-off for years (depending on the size of loss).
