Poll of the Day > So potd, how much have YOU lost on crypto?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bonus question: is there anyone in the world cringeier than crypto bros?
(Inb4 someone says you. You're not clever)

None because Im smart with my money

None

I put like $15 in dogecoin, half as a joke, half with the hopes that maybe I could get double back. I spend $15 in worse ways all the time

My housemate spent like $200 and still says he also did it as a joke, but I dont believe that

This.

Also, I'm a notorious penny-pincher.

Topic is only going to have "none" answers, because crypto bros still desperately clinging to the idea that they're gonna make it back.

I'm glad to see a goodly number of you arent dumdums

None, made a killing and got out before it hit 69k. Knew it would fall, since alot of crypto bros would sell off at 69 for the joke.

0.

I'm waiting for it to get back to a couple thousand(which it will, don't worry about that) before I consider maybe putting a couple hundred in.

If I'm going to gamble my money away it'll at least be on a game where I can have fun

None

I see it as useless in every way.

What is the quickest way to buy and sell crypto? It seems involved and more difficult than converting into euros, yen, etc.
Also, would now be the time to invest if crypto is at a low?

I'm not going all in on crypto. If I bought any at all, it would be an amount I'd be comfortable losing.

None. Can't say this shit has ever interested me.

Do the physical coins count for anything? I have four gold Dogecoins that I bought just for lulz.

0

None. I don't believe crypto as it currently exists is going to much longer. If anything it would be heavily regulated and mostly owned by mega banks. They aren't gonna let you commoners have upward mobility. They need you to stay tax crops making the industrial cogs turn. You aren't getting in their club, no matter how much money you have.

it's already banks and investment firms that are keeping crypto relevant as it is

they want it because most jurisdictions don't have any tax laws for it

but at the same time they want to make it so you are taxed on it, not them

None, because I take care not to invest in financial scams and pyramid schemes.

Nothing. I got $10 bitcoin free from Aaron Rodgers during a promotion, ans its just sitting there. It's only worth like $7 now or something but it's still all profit technically.

Something tells me though, even if I would've bought bitcoin at the cheapest it ever was and sold it as the highest to make hundreds of millions, I'd be unalived by some men in black in the middle of the night.

Absolutely nothing

Eh put in like $300 at Bitcoin/Ether/Shib peak back last Sept (around $60K for BTC)...glad I didn't put $1000 like I wanted too

Down to $110 as I check on Coinbase

About $85, but there's still time to lose more.

It would be cool to be a super rich gamer. I could buy all you guys houses in a neighborhood and we could make a game center. Maybe even make a lan party raiding guild for mmos.

Imagine a neighborhood lan party in a big office where all you have to do all day is be apart of a hardcore guild. It would be fun for a while at least.

None.

I've lost a few thousand on doge coin so far. While I'd rather not lose the money I have invested in it, it isn't my life savings so it's okay.

At this point I am just going to keep it where it is and just wait. I either make something back in the future or I lose it all.

edit: it started with just 1,000 I was totally okay with losing, then I felt like I didn't want to actually lose it since I bought at a bad time(40 cents), then I kept plunking more in to get my average down. I am down to an average of 21 cents. Overall not the end of the world but i do feel kinda dumb.

I never got into the crypto currency fad and have no plans on it in the future. NFTs seem even worse.

None because I've taken out my original investment* ~5 years ago. Everything in right now is play money.

* gamble

I understand not caring about whether your current investment performs, but you can't really get away with saying it doesn't count as a loss. Even play money is real money.

Eh, when I put money into crypto I "spent" it, as in, I exchanged real currency for digital funny money. I'm not sure you can convince me otherwise.

Zero, because I treated crypto the same way as Beanie Babies... or worse than Beanie Babies, because I've bought some Beanies over the years (although probably more after they'd crashed) and a few might've been with a resale value in mind, but they're all tangible goods I enjoyed on their own merits... except for that stupid Princess Di beanie. Or maybe that's not fair, because it was an alright design.

Never bought crypto but I did make a few thousand off AMC meme stock

I bought a bunch of amiibos at retail value and so far they havent disappointed *fingers crossed*

i'm up $3k assuming I can sell it... so technically I'm at either $0 (neutral), -$250 (initial investment) or N/A (not applicable)
