You are young. I promise you that life will present you with challenges and rewards in the future that will make this seem like nothing. Put it behind you, close the door, lock the door, and move on.
- Dzugaru 9y agoThat's quite a bold promise.
- rrggrr 9y agoMarriage, divorce, your first child, death of a family member, professional success, getting fired, etc., etc. Life is quite a ride.
- k33n 9y agoHilarious par for the course HN response. Zero empathy for OP. "Oh you only lost 400K. Since it didn't happen to me, it's not a problem."
- aaron-lebo 9y agoHe didn't "lose" 400k. He lost whatever was in the presale and he learned a really valuable lesson. He'll never forget it. When the worst thing to complain about is an altcoin investment gone bad, you are doing pretty well in life. It's not about empathy, it's about perspective, and the OP is gonna need the latter to get past it.
- andars 9y agoHe probably got the 1970 ETH during the presale for ~500 USD.
- rrggrr 9y agoAnything completely outside your control ought not to be viewed as a problem. A circumstance, reality, boundary condition... yes. But not a problem.
- pc86 9y agoPurchasing cryptocurrency, deleting the only copy of the wallet a year later, then posting on a forum two years ago that "please give me back all this money"? If this was outside OP's control, what in the world is inside it?
- rrggrr 9y agoNow that its gone, its gone, save this last ditch effort.
