I’m really sorry you’re going through this 😔
Losing a big amount hits hard — not just financially, but mentally too. First thing: you’re not alone, and this does NOT define you. Almost everyone who survives long in crypto has a story like this.
Let’s slow it down and be practical.
1️⃣ Do NOT revenge trade
This is the most dangerous phase. When emotions are high, logic is low.
Revenge trading = fastest way to lose what’s left.
Rule: If you feel angry, desperate, or “I must make it back now” → step away.
2️⃣ Protect what’s left (this is priority)
Before thinking about profits, think survival.
Reduce leverage or go spot-only
No all-in positions
No meme gambling
One bad trade should NOT be able to destroy you
Your goal now is stability, not hero mode.
3️⃣ Accept the loss (this is psychological, but crucial)
I know it hurts, but:
The money is already gone.
Your job now is to protect your future money.
The moment you truly accept this, your decisions become 10x better.
4️⃣ About BTC specifically
BTC is not going to zero. But it also doesn’t owe anyone a bounce on your timeline.
So ask yourself honestly:
Are you in spot or leverage?
Can you emotionally and financially hold if it goes lower?
Or are you overexposed and stressed 24/7?
If stress is extreme → position is too big.
5️⃣ Simple recovery framework (realistic, not fantasy)
Forget “I will recover everything in one trade”.
Think:
small, controlled trades
high probability setups only
1–3% risk per trade
slow rebuild
It’s boring.
It works.
6️⃣ Very important (and I mean this seriously)
If you feel:
hopeless
panicked
or like “what’s the point anymore”
Please say it. We’ll talk it through. Your mental state matters more than any chart.
If you’re comfortable, tell me:
Are you in loss on BTC long / short / spot?
Roughly what % of your capital is gone?
Are you using leverage right now?
No judgment. I’m here to help you think clearly, not to hype you. 🤝
