I never post on here but I am now. 2025 was a very dark time of my life. I went from an unrealized PNL of 250k at the end of 2024 to negative 50k within a few months into 2025. I hated myself for it. The greed that consumed me. The self doubt I gained from scrolling on X seeing people print 10x the amount of money I had. Telling myself I was dog shit and not doing good enough. Only for it to bite me in the ass and make me lose it all and some. By the end of 2025 I started working my ass off in the real world having 2 jobs and working 80+ hours a week. Stacking real money. And this time around I had a new plan. To start accumulating real assets and buying the blood instead of being scared. To see my confidence in myself and blocking out the noise come to fruition and for my portfolio to officially be back over 6 figures to date is an amazing feeling. I feel so much better this time around and I’ve turned my mistakes into lessons instead of beating myself up about them. If you’ve made it this far in my once in a lifetime thread I appreciate you and I wish you the best in this next cycle. My number 1 lesson for myself and everyone, never be greedy.
