Changing after Losing

I lost all my Bitcoin Cash because I was too stubborn and decided to risk everything. Including the one in the paper wallet, just 1 month before the November 2020 upgrade, which is a betrayal due to this addiction to the site BCH.games, and how simple their interface and how easy you can forget that you are essentially gambling your BCH. I had promised to make sure to keep it safe, and I had now lost BCH worth PHP 50,000+.

I'm writing this so I can warn everyone of the dangers of gambling and to tell myself to no longer play this game as much as possible and resort to bringing back 6 BCH by my own terms, even if it meant writing articles that will not get too much attention as 1 BCH is effective ~$250 and it meant being able to top the Top section of Read.Cash, something I cannot simply do without being famous, and I have been not that well-known yet.

It's actually a cathartic experience being able to gain everything for a few months and lose all of it, and I will have to simply stop using the website for a very long time. I apologize for all that I've done for myself, and with this lesson, I will learn how to be better and avoid these sites as far as possible.

I feel better, however, that 0.1 BCH has been turned into Tron and is currently being staked, and I also feel a bit better since roughly 0.25 BCH was used for me to finally allow me to put it to Steam and then 0.25 BCH were in my bank for a while, which I also lost.

My father had warned me about this a lot, and I can't blame myself for not following all of it. I apologize to him for all of it.

Right now, I will have to use all my remaining cryptocurrencies (and CoinPot faucets) to slowly recover all of the BCH I had wasted, and once I have 1 BCH all from my own earnings, not those won in a casino-like site like BCH.games, and when I do get this 1 BCH from all my hard work, I might promote BCH.games again, but I won't use it as much anymore.

I learned a lot from this day. I've learned that I'm not of an article writer as I wanted to be, I am a storyteller at heart. I've learned to not let greed take over and ruin my expenses because of a casino-like site, and therefore this will merely strengthen my resolve to never use a casino when I manage to get enough money to raise my family from poor. I've also learned to fully focus on what I love the most and ensure I get through college so I can ensure that nothing will stop my goals when I am knowledgeable enough to get into the wider economy, where I will have to face heavier difficulties than I have now. I'm too young for all of these, I should just focus on being a student.

This pandemic is really something to behold, I admit. Even if I am not able to get enough to save, I do admit that Bitcoin Cash allows you to be your own bank, and it's all on my fault on getting into this state.

Thank you all, and I hope that this lesson will serve as something I will really remember. Of course, to remove something means to replace it with something different for the next 1-2 months, because it's really attached to me now. I don't want it, and I will now move to replace it with something bigger, and therefore create little slices of life I can hopefully store here for everyone to learn.


This is Rowan, signing off.

Thanks, dad.

You lost a huge amount of money! I'm really sorry! I honestly have never risked large sums of money, especially not on casinos, roulette, etc.

That's sad, that's huge money already. Well, way back when I didn't bump into read cash yet I am also the fun of taking a risk like I was addicted to it, it was an investment scheme, I have quite received some good returns that made me addicted and gamble it all, I lose the same amount as yours that is why now I am trying my best to recover the loss on my own hard work without joining sites that are too risky, BCH.games sponsored me but I never bothered to try because I had my lesson already. Take care I hope you will recover your losses soon.

You will surely rise up again. That's why we fall. With determination , hard work and discipline you can surely make more that what you made previously. Do cheer up.

What is "Steam" you wrote about? The gaming site?

So after you recovered from your gambling lost you might promote bch.game gambling again because?

I can't help but if I read this I can only think "you learned nothing from it and people like you deserve to live in poverty, are the ones these sites need to promote them to continue with their scam"/

Eh, that's honestly the last time I'll place it there. Steam isn't the gaming site, though, it's BCH.games.

Steam does in BCH.games too?

I refer to this sentence of yours "I also feel a bit better since roughly 0.25 BCH was used for me to finally allow me to put it to Steam".

If this is your last time do NOT promote something that rips people off. ☹

It doesn't really promote BCH.games, and that one is saying a different thing; I had withdrawn 0.5 BCH and deposited half to bank (which in my fault returned it to BCH.games) and then the remaining was used to buy myself Steam credits.
