Buy high and sell low. That seems to be the MO of 2020+ investors. People are taking losses on these sales.



A lot of these are probably margin calls, not a reasoned investing decision.


I'm starting to get interested in buying (emphasis on starting).

Keep the destruction coming sellers, it's appreciated.


It's not a loss if you don't sell ;)


yeap... it's great when the thing you bought loses 43%

Also not smart when you use credit to buy ahh good times


That blows my mind.


Yeah don't want to say "addiction" like "buy the dip" (as it continually went down)

I thought I was smart turning credit into cash but I also was losing money through fees.

Anyway after messing around with my own trading bots (at loss not using smart algos or anything) I'm not sure if it was worth it... fun project I guess/code practice. At least for that I was just messing around with small amounts eg. <$100 per account (about 10). But if you don't have money to do day trades crypto is cool for that.

oh yeah I'm currently poor so I'm definitely no financial genius


Best way to grow wealth as an individual in your position is to maximize your income any way you can. You won't get rich investing $100 here and there, likelihood that you'll make good money gambling is also extremely low.

In that spirit, coding practice is probably a good thing and was probably worth the money spent.


Oh yeah I agree with that. Some job hop boom increase. I just gotta not burn money next time. I also give away money to my family but I generally don't feel too bad about it (they're in 3rd world country, I'm also fighting that mine mentality/make more). not a virtue signal I wish I was less nice
