about 6 months ago i put money into DUST, roughly $3000 worth


DUST is a gold mining shorting etf. Aka- the more gold goes down in price the more the etf is worth


i havent sold it cause its so low right now there would be no point. the shares i have are worth like $180 at this point. A $2800 loss

Same, lost €150 on ETC.

Only started doing stock/crypto stuff around December so haven't lost much and am ever so slightly in the green.

cause for the last 10 years the price of gold was steadily declining

McAfee didn't lose you anything lmao. You lost it yourself.

Is that what you looked like when you lost all your money?

$50k in student loan debt. I would do anything to go back in time and pick a trade instead of college.

What'd you buy it at? If you had just waited it went back up and will go back up again.

I lost ten years being a musician.

Breitburn

Bad times.

the price of gold doesn't really change,

the value of currency changes in relation to gold.

I just paid off the last of my student loan a few weeks ago. Feels amazing. My kids are going straight into trades

Baited by dividend?

Bought $30k worth of ProShares UltraShort Real Estate (SRS) shares in 2008.

I fell for the ETC meme and bought ~50 btc worth when it was at 56

What kind of software were you attempting to build ? Did you fail because it had no real use or because the management was messy ? or ... ?

£200 / 100% loss on LOIL a leveraged WTI ETF.

A slow death by time decay. Lesson learned.
