Russian Deputy Finance Minister says an estimated 20 million people are using Bitcoin and crypto in Russia.
He stated “We recognize that crypto exists – that much is clear. It took some time to reach that understanding. We have millions of citizens, by some estimates 20 million, who use cryptocurrency for various purposes.”

All roads lead to Bitcoin. Other cryptocurrencies? Just a temporary distraction.

Today’s dip really taught me something…
Most of the people in here don’t actually believe in Bitcoin. They’re just worried about their money. Bitcoin fell almost 20% at one point today. Your reaction should be either:
1. Who cares, it’ll eventually go up.
2. Great, I’ll buy more.
Anything other than that and you’re not fit to “invest” in Bitcoin.

Seeing suicide notes! Be safe: avoid leverage, BTC in cold storage, and wait 5-10 years.

All my savings, 6 years of DCA, got liquidated last night.
I was one of the people who never tried to time the market, was telling others to stay away from leverage, just DCA, yet here I am. Maybe this sad story will contribute to the community.
I guess people have different reasons for why they end up using leverage. I don't need to be convinced that Bitcoin is here to stay and it will go up, that's why I was all-in DCAing. Anything left out of my monthly salary would go into Bitcoin. However, in last 1-2 years my monthly expenses rose significantly, and I was upset about not being able to buy as much Bitcoin as I could in the past. This is what led me to the idea that I can make up for that period in 1-2 leverage trades. It all went downhill from there. Last night I lost EVERYTHING - as of today, my total net worth is not far away from the salary I will receive for this month. Everything I got was wiped out, and I'm 36 years old already.
The realization of my age, how much time it took me to get to the point I was at before touching the leverage, imagining all the things this money could fix today if I just spent it, all those feelings and thoughts, are devastating beyond my ability to describe it. The feeling of shame, the feeling of letting down family and relatives. I won't ever admit to what has happened to anyone, and I will have to live with this feeling of shame likely for ever. I have seen posts suggesting people are suicidal, I am not, but I very well understand why others may be, going through this horror.
What's next for me? I'm trying to convince myself that being 36 and having nothing but a car loan and a few furniture pieces is nothing to worry about, I still have a job and hopefully a few years ahead. I will try to build my cash position and just wait for the cycle end and start deploying cash into BTC when price drops below 90-80k again. Maybe in next 6-7-8 years I will get back to the point I was before I got wiped out. And of course I tell myself I will never touch leverage ever again. This is still a nightmare situation, and I'm coping hard, but what else I can do? I feel helpless.
If you are new to Bitcoin and you think you are late, I was there when price hit $4k low in 2020, and was DCAing before and all throughout - today I'm back to round zero savings at the age of 36, with intention to just get back to buying at whatever prices I will get.
You can roast me, but this can happen to you, no matter how smart or seasoned you are. One day you may have a random "valid" reason to take "just a little risk", the next moment you know, you are down to zero. Don't trade, don't use leverage. Behind every lucky shot with gains posted online, there are hundreds if not thousands of lives destroyed. I mean it.
Good luck to everyone.
