I mean I earned quite a lot of money in the end, but when you loose ca 300k USD in 2-3 days (May 2021) you do not feel really well in your head, your ego plunges to the very absolute bottoms. A friend of mine earns that amount in a year (Oncologist) so he kind of said that it's not that big and you can quickly re-earn that but still...
