Have a friend who I had to convince not to commit suicide because he lost over 100 BTC on FTX…

We argued about this for months… But he maintained he was earning 9% interest…

🥲

100 btc, Jesus Christ. I think I have no imagination of how much money has actually been stolen from people.

People don’t remember faucets used to give out hundreds of bitcoins per day… Now, it’s 5-250 sats 10 years later.

I’m sure in the future it’ll be 1-5 sats if you sit there and watch adds or fill out surveys 10 years from now.

Incredible …

Hard to wrap your head around this 🤯

OMG 😳 that is hard. 100 btc 🤯

I can’t imagine how this feels.

But still. Lifetime is the only thing more precious than btc. I have to remind myself every day of that.

Hope he is doing better today. Guess it takes some time to recover mentally from that 🙏

He is spending a few months in Thailand… but has no idea how he’ll recover. He understands, there is no recourse or way to get it back, and losing $2M is rough…

He still has his family, and his kids keep him from making any impulsive bad choices.

He won’t come back from that so easily. Will take some time. That whole ftx thing opened my eyes for the reason why governments would want to regulate crypto, makes it more easy for them to steal from us.

*would NOT want to regulate it I meant

Stack, don’t sell.

Self-custody your coins…

Run your own node…

They can’t steal it from you even if they want to.
