Your journey so far

How it all started? How have you been doing so far? How are you planning your endgame? How's your mental health, most importantly?

In crypto and trading since August 2020. For me it went with small investments, because it's all I could afford. My single best winner coin has been CHZ back in 2021. eclipsed all my other profits. After that I went on buying some ETH, BNB, did some futures, lost like 50 bucks and had a mental breakdown, I did revenge trading and cost me around 500 bucks that rage. Exchanged them back to fiat before the 2021 crash. Spent the money on... Fun stuff.

Then I got back after a while again with small investments here and there. Started Forex trading again, was investing my profits into crypto. One day while was doing my daily stuff I went on the wrong website (copycat of the original), connected my Metamask and the wallet was emptied (I had around 75% of my coins there - FTM, BNB, a little ETH, some USDT). Had another mental breakdown, broke my laptop, quit my job. Still looking for a job, but recently I got back to day trading Forex, planning on doing the same. Take some profits and buy crypto.

My opinion so far is that we need NOT to repeat what has been done with real currencies. We need not to have exchanges as big as Binance is, we need more regulation to avoid another FTX. We need decentralised exchanges, but we also need to control them somehow because... You know what happens on DEXs. These things my discourage new people for getting on the crypto train, but they don't realise same things is happening with Fiat and banks. It's all about the people, the dirty people. And they will be everywhere.

Just hoping this time I will reach the end and, in a few years, will have some money to open a small business, without having to ask money from the banks or to ask the government for help (here in Romania it's a headache if you need help from the government + you need to bribe which I'm totally against).
