Even worse is the guy no take am slow. Take 5k dols and keep turning that one over. The guy thought he had a chance to hammer and turn his 3.7m into 40m overnight.

For all intents and purposes he gambled his entire capital. What is not known is if it happened at once or if it was like 419 where they bleed you dry with promises

I doubt he did it at once, he will be investing it gradually. 5k today, 5k tomorrow, 20k next week

Nothing can turn you into nak33dness faster than gambling. I put FX and crypto trading under gambling. That is why I prefer real estate, In most cases you still have your initial capital which is the house, Unlike those other ones wey you go lose everything profit and initial ivestment

seankafor:
d tin Shaa dey depressing to say the least.. especially if you into same thing as those been mentioned..you go dey wonder if you dey hustle backwards or forwards..

For every hustle there will be a top tier wey go hammer and many wey go just dey there

Even for football, while dem Mbappe are hammering madly, Ibime shared one Naija guy wey dey make like $1000 per week for one backwater league.

Chasing losses especially. Which may have been the case here

Its a very intense psychological battle that most gamblers never win

You gotta be extra stupid to invest all your money in forex.

pray make you no try am.....the losses comes in small parts till you would have lost soo much,and trying to recover it.....will lead to more losses.

Yes. Its psychological. You lose, you quickly double your stake so you can recover and lose that too.

At the end of the day everything you do in life is a gamble.

You better don't go there before they ask you if you can get pregnant.

This is a good one.

Another thing that most people ignore is you tend to see the success stories everywhere as they are more likely to speak on it as opposed to the ones who failed - who are very less likely to speak; this then creates a biased statistic in the mind of those who see these stories everywhere

The law of averages for every new field is something I truly rely on. I fancy my chances as being the guy within the mean, Anything outside that, then it becomes a risky endeavor where i could just as well throw my money away.

Why?

Isn't the risk that comes with it so obvious?

So, Mark Angel has $3.7m to lose?

He should have more than that.

My boss running Google Adsense arbitrage is pulling 300k dollars monthly. Although he do spend 100k on ad running.

Coming to YouTube, one girl way I lend money one year ago has made over 20k dollars YouTube creating African story tales. Even me come subscribe to her ministry, make I learn too

I seriously doubt this story about Mark angel losing $3.7m to crypto/forex . That’s somewhere around N5.9 billion using N1,600/1$.

If he has that much amount of money and loses it to crypto , I don’t think he will be the one telling the story . Whether the money is 100% his savings or it includes other investors’ money , I believe he would’ve developed stroke or died due to the shock .

The story sounds more like lamba . I mean even if corporate organization lose that amount of money in potential profit , they will feel it .

Ah yes. Most finance people know about survivorship bias. Its the first thing you look out for when evaluating an index

Behavioral finance is a topic I recommend most people read up on. You'll be surprised how much of these biases exist in our daily lives even when we don't know we are exhibiting.

A number of these emotional biases guide our decision making (chasing losses, mental accounting, regret aversion) when it should be rational. Gambling is one big giant cake of it, you just get sucked into it without knowing

chidekings:

It’s definitely an exaggeration taken too far because I don’t know how he will convince me that somehow he laid his hands on an amount close to N6 billion and somehow he used everything to nap forex/crypto .

Like not 100million, not 500 million, not 900 million, not even N1 billion but N6 billion . Lai lai!

He’s not even worth that amount in real assets and liquid cash to start with sef .

User09:
2 likely theories.

He mentioned investors funds - so maybe not totally his.

The second one and more likely, he's exaggerating the losses so pocket watchers can take their eyes off him, seeing as he's been attracting too much attention in that area lately

I don't think the 2nd case is likely because the wolves will start watching him more closely when they hear that 3.7m number

Sportsweb:
He should have more than that.
