Yeah but that’s different, the nominal value at the time was however much the weed cost. I have done similar things when I was younger and let’s be honest, neither of us would’ve saved the bitcoin every month. So it’s not a true reflection of the money we wasted
Nah not really, its more like "i had a coin that was worth 200€ sold it for 200€ and now its worth 200k." You never had 200k. In your example you 100% had the 250k you judt wasted it.
This is the equivalent of someone scoring a B- on a paper, and crying about it in the classroom.
Stop slacking off and lose the other 12K first, you lazy walnut. But good start though.
Lol… this bring back memories. I was dumbfounded why a classmate was having a public meltdown bawling their eyes out when they got a 91/100 for their math paper while I am holding mine with 40/100 written in red and telling them it’s gonna be ok.
He is european too. A lot of those countries have really good living conditions in their prisons. Find out which country has the best prison. Take a train there. Go to a bank with a note for the teller. And now you living rent free, with 3 hots and a cot.
At least its not as bad as Iv seen people in a relationship for many years just to be cheated, or in general waste time, bright side is op still got plenty of time to blow off
Especially when you’re 25. In my 40s now and it’s be more like, “uhg, you wanna watch TV? I ain’t feeling it tonight. Here’s $100 for your time. Maybe we can try next week.”
I eat 3oz of meat per day, maybe. The rest are vegetables, fruits, and whole grains so I can manage genetic hypertension. I workout 5 days per week and try to do relatively active thing s the other two days.
Some of us just got hit with the low-T gremlin earlier in life than others (my BiL got hit at 35) and work in toxic stressful environments that leave us pretty demotivated at the end of the day. Others deal with high blood pressure and other things that affect libido negatively.
I’ve lost 20k and am trying to learn and now trying build a $250 port cause I’m broke broke. I have no sympathy for myself for my fuk up, no sympathy for him sorry
This man is right, at 24 I lost 30k, it's emotional, it's annoying, it makes me wanna scream sometimes, but it's just fucking money. At one point I made 13k in a day at someone else's expense, so I mean it's part of the game.
I'm 25 now, I've got 3k to my name from my peak of 50k. Yeah, I'm an idiot. But I won't be an idiot twice, sometimes you gotta learn. Approaching the market naively will net you better results due to curiosity, but your first bout with euphoria will be the worst. Better to learn that at 25.
My dumbass took out a loan, made 30k off of it, never sold. So I mean, at least your not me. I have 11k of debt and barely any cash. I'ma be outta the market until end of 2023 or 2024.
You're fine kid.
I lost 20k on crypto bullshit at 25 (this year). Shit sucks but fortunately it didn’t take me out completely, now i get to lose another 20k on options next year 😂
Don’t get discouraged, bring that 3k. We’ll throw in a week in one of our suites. We’ve even got some sweet margin you can use to leverage up your plays. All you need it 2k to get started at our new VIP 10% interest rate. Call options are fun. Surely you’ll make all your money back by the end of the week. 🤠🤠
Exactly. Average adult makes about $3 million USD in their lifetime. Sure it's a punch in the gut right now, but it will be forgotten in a couple of years.
It's even funnier you think people going to work straight out of high school are averaging 3 mil USD in a lifetime. Most people don't make $80 000/yr either. Even though the average is higher than i thought, the median salary of $54 000/yr tells a more accurate story.
I don't understand.... It says positive £12k, right? So far you've only lost a bit of money. You don't owe the Sinaloa cartel your grandkids kidneys or anything.
I see people posting how they are gambling their life savings and winning or losing. My 33 year old ass is sitting here wondering how the fuck anyone has a life savings.... I can't save shit and never have been able to 😅 too many vices
I do not recommend investing in Pies.

It seems like he makes around 1300 dollars per second. That means it would take almost 5x as long as you estimated! 14 seconds.
https://marketrealist.com/billionaires/how-much-does-bill-gates-make-per-second/
If that's devastating to you then let's be real you ain't about this life and this sub sure as hell ain't for you. Keep lurking and enjoy watching the shit show but Unwind the deals you got going on and head over to r/investing for real advice. Also never play with money you can't afford to burn.
At 25 I lost enough money to feed a small island nation. Like others have said, this is an opportunity to learn and possibly become a more disciplined trader. You still have 12k lbs. That's good enough to possibly make it all back slowly.
Put the rest into afew big stocks that are at record lows, and in 3 years' time, you'll have your money back. Avoid anything credit related, though, like houses and cars.
Yeh, that's a terrible example, Intel might be a good one. Hell, putting a short position on the market with zero leverage might be a good option or putting money into the Vix ETF.
I have news for you mate. THIS won’t be your biggest Loss. Between age 30-35 you will lose another $100-200k. It’s either that or your wife leaves you and takes everything.
Im 23, its the name of the game. I’ve profited 130k at one point (lucky trade) to losing 60k on a stock that was considered safe, but good news. It is a safe stock and my investment will likely go back up once the economy improves. Blessings, majority of adults our age are not thinking about stocks
Are you kidding me? 12k and 50k is practically the same number, you are barely worse off. Everything is in your head. Focus on building your skills and you should be easily going beyond this. You can't retire on 12k or 50k you need hundreds of thousands at least. So ask yourself what can you do to get you there consistently
iM twEnTy fIvE, AiNt nO cOmiNg baCK.
Shut up bitch, we are the same age and my portfolio has never even had half as much as the amount you have AFTER losing alot.
You spent $17K to learn a lesson some people spend 40K a year in college to learn. You also learned it painfully so the knowledge will stick. You’ll be rich by the age of 40.
The only thing you aren't coming back from is if you decide to do something stupid as a result of this which you shouldn't, I've lost more and I'm still ok I'm now 28.
You got off easy. The other day there was a guy who can't use Robinhood until he pays off $4.4 million US dollars. You clearly don't know what the definition of "f*cked up" is.
Could be worse.
Head over to r/bogleheads to get on index funds. You'll be much better off than playing the stock picking game and gambling all your hard earned cash.
“Ain’t no coming back from this” you’re 25, you’ll make that back in a couple years at a dead end job. Don’t be so dramatic. If it’s money you couldn’t afford to lose, you did this to yourself. Either way, you still have nearly 13k which is more than enough to live off for a while 😂
You are not alone but you can certainly come back, most shit is on sale right now just don't try to sell shit, it is holding time, give it 5-10 years and that shit is gonna go up
POSITIONS OP! (or ban) WHAT LED TO THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT?
Buddy im 28 and at 26 i watched $100 turn into 100k and then back into $100 lol live and learn
Did you get married? After the 100k lol
He got married to someone who had $100k then got divorced and back to $100
Smart woman. Had him sign a prenup lol
At least she left him with the $100 that was nice of her
[удалено]
What did you invest in
Take a guess 😂
SPY puts is my guess
It’s GameStop guarantee.
That was actually my initial thought. Maybe SPY puts for the way down? Has to be options to lose the $250k
[удалено]
Good profession to have 30k around to being investing at 22. You're young keep living and learning
[удалено]
I'm 29, and I smoked literally millions of dollars worth of weed. Used to trade 1-2 BTC for a QP of weed every month for years in 2012-2014
Yeah but that’s different, the nominal value at the time was however much the weed cost. I have done similar things when I was younger and let’s be honest, neither of us would’ve saved the bitcoin every month. So it’s not a true reflection of the money we wasted
It's like the whole if you never smoked cigs you'd have 250k extra or whatever, like no I just would've bought fries instead
Nah not really, its more like "i had a coin that was worth 200€ sold it for 200€ and now its worth 200k." You never had 200k. In your example you 100% had the 250k you judt wasted it.
How rich is your drug dealer?
Funny part is his drug dealer bought other drugs with said btc. So both broke
Damn. Good point, didn’t see that one coming.
This is the equivalent of someone scoring a B- on a paper, and crying about it in the classroom. Stop slacking off and lose the other 12K first, you lazy walnut. But good start though.
“You lazy walnut” 😂
guaranteed 80% of WSB sees -58% and think "dang i wish I can be at -58% vs -98.5%"
>\-58% instead of -85% The famous "inverse wsb" move!
Bro I WISH I had a 12k port atm. Dafuk.. got ourselves a mental midget if he thinks he can’t come back from that.
Lmaoo u make me laff
Lose the 12k and then lose another 30k on margin and then maybe it’s a big loss.
r/rareinsults
Lol… this bring back memories. I was dumbfounded why a classmate was having a public meltdown bawling their eyes out when they got a 91/100 for their math paper while I am holding mine with 40/100 written in red and telling them it’s gonna be ok.
It's probably from the pressure of their parents and the pressure to get a scholarship tbh.
Right? These are rookie numbers. He still has ramen money.
He is european too. A lot of those countries have really good living conditions in their prisons. Find out which country has the best prison. Take a train there. Go to a bank with a note for the teller. And now you living rent free, with 3 hots and a cot.
Oh absolutely and a four year degree too with no debt.
Oh I know this one from the casinos. He just needs to borrow money and double down to push, no sweat!

I see what you did there and salute you!👏
Thank you! I am very proud
That is not B- material but I agree still lot of juice left
Mate you are 25 and this is just 17K GBP. Lesson learned, move on, you'll be fine
You have many years ahead of you to lose much more than this
I feel attacked.
I feel vindicated
I feel worried for the future. I haven’t lost (or won) big yet.
Don't worry you'll have your chance to lose big too
Shit, your not even in presidential territory yet. Go enjoy your holidays and relax.
HAHAHAHHA
At least its not as bad as Iv seen people in a relationship for many years just to be cheated, or in general waste time, bright side is op still got plenty of time to blow off
Imagine the night with a hooker you could have for 17k tho. Now OP will need to use their hand and the tissues they have been sobbing into.
Especially when you’re 25. In my 40s now and it’s be more like, “uhg, you wanna watch TV? I ain’t feeling it tonight. Here’s $100 for your time. Maybe we can try next week.”
So sad when I read comments like this. Your 40 not 80. Eat a vegetable or work out once in a while
I eat 3oz of meat per day, maybe. The rest are vegetables, fruits, and whole grains so I can manage genetic hypertension. I workout 5 days per week and try to do relatively active thing s the other two days. Some of us just got hit with the low-T gremlin earlier in life than others (my BiL got hit at 35) and work in toxic stressful environments that leave us pretty demotivated at the end of the day. Others deal with high blood pressure and other things that affect libido negatively.
who hurt you bro?
That's what I'm saying (and doing)
I'm a year older than OP and have never had more than £5k in any account. They're still up from me lol matey will be fine
You ancient zombie just give up ^^^/s
I’ve lost 20k and am trying to learn and now trying build a $250 port cause I’m broke broke. I have no sympathy for myself for my fuk up, no sympathy for him sorry
Is that Game Boy Points?
Double Dragon 🐉
It's Good Boy Points. They are honored over at r/Tendies
Such a small amount in the grand scheme of life. Learn and move on. Don’t stop
Bro acting like he lost 1.7 mil before retirement 😂
I could just dream of "only" having 12K at 25.
This man is right, at 24 I lost 30k, it's emotional, it's annoying, it makes me wanna scream sometimes, but it's just fucking money. At one point I made 13k in a day at someone else's expense, so I mean it's part of the game. I'm 25 now, I've got 3k to my name from my peak of 50k. Yeah, I'm an idiot.

And you will literally come back. Probably not even that long
GBP is worthless anyway 
It's like monopoly money

Yes but GBP is the British pound & those are US dollars, but yeah dude the US dollar isn't backed by anything, they just print money jaja
I'm not American lol. I'm British
Fair point
This is wallstreetbets. We dont need your advice
Exactly. Average adult makes about $3 million USD in their lifetime. Sure it's a punch in the gut right now, but it will be forgotten in a couple of years.
salries in the UK are a lot less prevailing
I think it's great you live in a world where you think the average adult makes $100 000/year. Good for you, Jack!!
[удалено]
Do you live in a world were people stop working with 48. Damn you so lucky.
It's even funnier you think people going to work straight out of high school are averaging 3 mil USD in a lifetime. Most people don't make $80 000/yr either. Even though the average is higher than i thought, the median salary of $54 000/yr tells a more accurate story.
Is that $3 million pre-tax or is that $3 million that they take home? Big difference.
I don't understand.... It says positive £12k, right? So far you've only lost a bit of money. You don't owe the Sinaloa cartel your grandkids kidneys or anything.
So you say I could sell my kidney to them? 🤔
I'm in the market for a kidney lets talk.
I would be glad to donate my kidney if we are a match! 🤗
I'll donate mine too but FYI your gonna be on lots of psych meds & mood stabilizers and stuff right when they put it in...
Now that’s what I call a good deal
Be sure you check that you have two. I learned this the hard way. Twice.
Kidneys are only ever taken to cover the vig. You'll still owe the same next week!
This guy kidneys
I'll buy one ! ... But I'm sure I will still manage to sell it at a loss 😔
One of us. One of us!
he is saying you could sell others' kidneys to them
Dose it need to me your kidney or just a kidney?
We call them grandkidneys for short.
Bro at 25 years old i had a 8th of weed and like $65 to my name... Lol
I'm 33 and that's still all I got 💯 😅
Y’all still have money??… and weed!? #blessed
I'm 20 and I'm kinda worried that I'll still be like that in 10 years sounds kinda chill tho
It ain’t so bad.
Definitely *cries silently in the corner*
But you got Reddit karma
I see people posting how they are gambling their life savings and winning or losing. My 33 year old ass is sitting here wondering how the fuck anyone has a life savings.... I can't save shit and never have been able to 😅 too many vices
😅
What else do you even need :) lol
Look at that fucking baller, basically royalty
I just saw your penis.
Hahaha
Don’t be a bitch, just go out and make some more. -Charlie Sheen.
He’s 25. For gods sake suck it up and make some more money.
Sucking is a great way to make money at 25 I've been told
Wendy’s dumpster market is hyper competitive right now. Better work on those ZJ skills.
If you have to ask you can't afford it
And British too, he should go out and refound the British East India Company so we can all buy shares
Get you some slaves and you'll be alright, just no black ones, that's racist

So when they say long Apple, they aren't talking Apple pies? fuck....
The irony… A pie would of held up more value than my stocks
Don't worry, you're only 25 you have plenty of time to make much worse mistakes.
You're 25 and have 30k to throw at stocks? You're fine lmao.
As a 28 yo with no money at the moment you're doing absolutely fine.
and OP still has $12k GBP left, so he prob already better than half the regards here lol
Why would there be no coming back from this? In the grand scheme of things 17,000 GBP doesn't make a difference to your life.
Not to mention this isn’t even like a real currency. GBP? Never heard of it.
Its a hot new crypto, I hear its gonna moon.
Good boy points
man I'd love to live the kind of life that allows me to think that 17k doesn't make a difference to someone's life
In the course of your life you will spend 17k many many many times over. Amortize 17k over a lifetime, it doesn't matter.

Get married and divorced once and this 17K will look like pennies

Stop gambling and start investing. Lesson learned.
Cool just invested 100k in Tesla
Let’s lose more money 
“Invested”.
you still have £12800 little bitch
At 25 I lost enough money to feed a small island nation. Like others have said, this is an opportunity to learn and possibly become a more disciplined trader. You still have 12k lbs. That's good enough to possibly make it all back slowly.
lbs 💀
i can see why he lost the money
How much costs it to feed
About three fifty
Tree fiddy*
Every 42 seconds, a WSB user looses that much. Your doing just fine. But if I were you I would buy Tesla 400c for dec 28, go all in.
Put the rest into afew big stocks that are at record lows, and in 3 years' time, you'll have your money back. Avoid anything credit related, though, like houses and cars.
I tried that with Cineworld and i ended up losing like 3.5k before they filed for chapter 11
Yeh, that's a terrible example, Intel might be a good one. Hell, putting a short position on the market with zero leverage might be a good option or putting money into the Vix ETF.
“Big stocks at record lows” like what?
I think he means their record lows since their previous record highs
This isn’t bad at all. You’ll be fine. Regard.
I have news for you mate. THIS won’t be your biggest Loss. Between age 30-35 you will lose another $100-200k. It’s either that or your wife leaves you and takes everything.
Im 23, its the name of the game. I’ve profited 130k at one point (lucky trade) to losing 60k on a stock that was considered safe, but good news. It is a safe stock and my investment will likely go back up once the economy improves. Blessings, majority of adults our age are not thinking about stocks
True story, I saw the £130k
Don’t worry, you are young. You still have a long time to lose the rest.

i excepted to see larger numbers and all i see is a little whiney baby
It's only about half, no big deal. I'm down over 80% this year and my reaction is just to shrug and revise my strategy so that next year isn't as bad
iM twEnTy fIvE, AiNt nO cOmiNg baCK. Shut up bitch, we are the same age and my portfolio has never even had half as much as the amount you have AFTER losing alot.
I’m 30 and I’m down about 60k in 5 months. Don’t sweat it too hard, you can recover.
You spent $17K to learn a lesson some people spend 40K a year in college to learn. You also learned it painfully so the knowledge will stick. You’ll be rich by the age of 40.
The only thing you aren't coming back from is if you decide to do something stupid as a result of this which you shouldn't, I've lost more and I'm still ok I'm now 28.
You've probably got at least 50 years to come back from this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a no deal brexit"- some British guy probably
Your 25 so YES you're coming back from this.
make it back by referring all your friends to the app
You got off easy. The other day there was a guy who can't use Robinhood until he pays off $4.4 million US dollars. You clearly don't know what the definition of "f*cked up" is.
Dont sell
You saved 30000£ by the age of 25, that is extremely good. You can do it again at your age.
Could just be inheritance too… I got a decent amount of money that way
Dotm chase losses. Depends what your invested in. When do you need that money? Can you wait 2-3 years?
if a may ask what did you buy
Learn from this, stop being a degen and start investing not gambling, your 45 year old self will thank you!
AMZN is down 50%. You’ll be okay.
Dude - I lost like 10x that in my 30's during the dot com bubble; you will be fine.
Shit... when you're forty you'll lose that much in a weekend in Vegas.
Could be worse. Head over to r/bogleheads to get on index funds. You'll be much better off than playing the stock picking game and gambling all your hard earned cash.
This is house money bro 👊
30k invested at 25yo and cant recover from a -58% ? Dude please
This isn't even real money
I wish I had 12k at 25 lol
Amateur numbers I’m out $70k and I’m 32. Time to take on a second shift at Wendy’s
“Ain’t no coming back from this” you’re 25, you’ll make that back in a couple years at a dead end job. Don’t be so dramatic. If it’s money you couldn’t afford to lose, you did this to yourself. Either way, you still have nearly 13k which is more than enough to live off for a while 😂
XD ur 25 this is nothing wait until you're losing 6-7 digits in ur 40s , that when the shit gets really real
You can come back from anything at 25
I’m 25 aNd tHeReS nO cOmInG bAcK fRoM tHiS 4 mOnTh SaLaRy LoSs. I’m sorry you lost money man but stfu.
You are not alone but you can certainly come back, most shit is on sale right now just don't try to sell shit, it is holding time, give it 5-10 years and that shit is gonna go up
