 I don't want to pretend like I'm unreservedly happy right now.

I organized Scandinavia's first #Bitcoin conference and fucked up the budget really bad. Got depressed and stupidly found brief comfort in drugs. Having suddenly lost so many hard earned sats I had held for years made it feel like nothing mattered anymore. Before I knew it, I had wasted what little I had left in a self-destructive spiral. I will never be able to earn them back and I still wake up with a panic attack every few nights. My kids keep me going, but also racked with guilt 😔 

I'll never stop stackin' though and I'm never spending another sat in my life! 
 Sending strength and love 🧡🫂I’ve appreciated your honesty and presence and determination to keep growing and choosing health and to keep stacking⚡️ Good things are coming ✨ 
 Thank you Fren 🧡 I'm finding a surprising amount of joy in the success of others. Congratulations 🎉 
 Let me change the ending:

I'll never stop stackin' though and I'm never touching my cold storage again in my life! 🤝

This lesson is on me:

HODL! 
 Edit: Not looking for sympathy, although you're nice. Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve. I wasn't as deserving as I thought. I'm trying to share a lesson while explaining why I'm not completely delirious with joy. 
 Also, I know you're not supposed to reveal too much about yourself, and never show any weakness, but I'm a podcast host and Bitcoin voice. It would feel dishonest to pretend like I'm not speaking from a slightly different place right now. Like I was trying to take credit for something I failed at. But with that said, I now feel more qualified to speak about Bitcoin than ever. To paraphrase Joni Mitchell, "I've looked at sats from both sides now!"

 Det ligger visst i vår natur på et vis, men har fått god disiplin etter denne lærepengen. 
 Here's another lesson that kept me sane as I tried to stack back a little:
