That sounds really painful. Losing $300,000—especially because you trusted someone—is not “just trading loss,” it’s a breach of trust, and it can hit harder than the money itself. I’m sorry you’re carrying that.

Let’s separate this into what’s emotional and what’s practical, so you don’t spiral.

First — reality check (important)

You are not stupid for this.

Many experienced crypto people have lost seven figures through:

bad actors

overconfidence

leverage + timing

The fact that you’re still here, thinking clearly enough to say “I need a real dentist”, already means you’re not broken.

About “going to an offline real dentist”

If by that you mean:

stepping away from online noise

fake gurus

Twitter/X “experts”

Telegram groups

👉 That is the correct instinct.

Crypto right now is full of:

signal sellers pretending to be professionals

people flexing fake PnL

narratives designed to extract liquidity from emotional traders

Distance = protection.

What to do now (no hype, no hopium)

1️⃣ Stop ALL new trades for a short period

Not forever. Just enough to:

let your nervous system calm down

stop revenge trading

stop “I must make it back” decisions

Even 7–14 days helps massively.

2️⃣ Write this down (seriously)

Answer honestly:

Was it leverage, blind trust, or no stop-loss?

Was the decision yours, or influenced by someone else?

Did you ignore a warning sign you felt?

This isn’t for blame.

This is how you make sure the same loss never happens again.

3️⃣ ETH specifically

ETH didn’t “betray” you — position sizing and timing did.

ETH:

is volatile but not dead

moves slowly compared to memes

punishes over-leverage brutally

Right now, ETH is a capital-preservation asset, not a “get rich fast” one.

If you ever touch it again:

spot only

small size

long horizon

4️⃣ About the person who caused this

If someone:

advised irresponsibly

pushed leverage

promised certainty

Then they weren’t a “dentist.”

They were a liquidity extractor.

Your anger is justified —
