I lost my crypto savings to scam and then via gambling, trying to recover them, AMA.

I lost half in the poly market scam, the uma oracle was rigged for geopolitics market. I had made good profit in ipl, went there and got rekt.

Then I bet on some sport in the pain of loss at 85% odds after losing it in poly market scam, I lost 35% more.

Then I had 10%, which I took to 25% max, but you know when you have so much to recover you don't book profits correctly and hold your losses for longer. I ended up gambling on tennis at the end.

So I lost the remaining 6L too which I was using as a lifeline, to make my money back through gambling.

The good part is I am 24, the bad part is I don't have the will power and enthusiasm left in me to live.

I think I was super addicted to gambling, in the recovery mode, I didn't give up until I lost my last 150$.

Don't make the mistake I did, when you get the money via airdrop, just withdraw it, into your bank, earn interest and live happily.

Well sometimes I consider kms. But you know, I think I will survive, mostly I get lucky some other day. Well finding a job is difficult.

My advice is never gamble. After things like the poly market half the sports are rigged. Also don't underestimate bad times in life, they are as real as good times.

My story of riches to rags. I was once rich enough that I would get 30kpm interest without doing any work, now I'm doubtful I'll get that amount by doing work.

Constant thoughts of ending it all.

Lost my savings to gambling.

That money could easily keep me alive for 7 years.

I'm turning 24, no job, my friends are working on good software jobs, my mind no longer works, it wants to shut itself down forever, as it gave itself too many chances and it malfunctioned while gambling.

I once made 5k$ a day by . Now I may not even make that in a year. Or save that in 2-3 years.

Hey god please take me with you.

I have 3L left can I do something, I am super lost, looking at darkness all around me.

Want to give up on life.

Can't take it anymore.

Hope there was an easy quit button.

Not getting a job.

2024 cse grad 2yrs unemployed.

I got a good chunk of crypto airdrop 100k$ in starting of 2025. I gave half to parents back in 2025 . I lost the other half just a few days ago.I think whatever they invested in me, i gave them back, now I don't want to be a load on them. I can't see my 55y old father working hard, at least he likes what he does, while I can't convince my brain to work on some tech stack for a company where I can be easily replaced in near future for meager pay of 20-30kpm. I don't even want to work on tech stacks which don't have a scope in future. For now my mental state is like, I want any job, I just want a breathing space. Will take time and figure out what to do in life.

The other half I lost, i ensured nothing happened to them for 1 year, situations turned up in life in such a way I would lose them. I feel the situations were set up in a way by God for me to lose.

Since I have seen so much money early in life, it's difficult to work as an apprentice for 20-30k on some internal tech stack of company. With a future unsure.

Well my brain can't work on the jobs here in India, either the work doesn't justify the pay or the work isn't worth spending my time on. Since I'm not ready to work, i become a load on parents, my brain is different, it would feel sad when I do lesser pay and work where I am easily rewplacable. Atleast one should be good. I'm thinking to off myself. Atleast I won't be a load anyone.

After loosing what I saved for myself, i valued it my life. I feel emptiness all over me. I don't have that quench for survival which I once had. I am missing the enthusiasm in me to make money too.

All I feel is void. I wanted to do something , requires me to be unemployed and requires discipline, but I feel it's no longer sustainable, I feel burdened. Burdened by thinking that all my friends are earning, while i am sleeping in house in morning, while all night applying to jobs, I feel super guilty.

I don't even stand a chance for good jobs after a 2 year gap.

Luck is real. Their is some energy.

​

I didn't believe much thought I got good money because of work, I was ungrateful, the energy made ways to take it back, the energy crafts the ways.

Some energy.

This bad energy is real.

Things can go wrong. Like completely wrong in a matter of days.

Also these problems will come in line in sequence. Like bad on bad.

There is some energy.

I am going through sade sati period
