I couldn't quite figure out what was going on there, whether it was quasi ironic or not. You'd think someone who'd been around that long would be unphased by the same thing panning out again. Then again who am I to guess anyone else's triggers?
I'm totally reading between the lines here, I have no actual knowledge, totally guessing;
My impression is that he over invested, FOMOing in with assets necessary for life support, then held through the peak.
I don't know if his losses were purely of unrealized gains or of the actual sort, but regardless it hit him pretty hard as he had to sell to make RL commitments.
About this time he also started experiencing health problems. I am totally speculating here, but would not be at all surprised if these were exacerbated by his level of stress and worry over the above.
It is my earnest hope that he was able to reclaim at least part of his position near the lows, but if that were so one would think that we would have seen him by now...
I miss him a lot
