"Dr. Gekhan Çalışkan, who worked in the field of family medicine in Diyarbakır, committed suicide at a shooting range. It became known that the 33-year-old doctor suffered losses and fell into depression as a result of his operations on the cryptocurrency exchange.

Dr. Gökhan Çalışkan, who stated that he would go to a private shooting range in Diyarbakır and shoot, committed suicide by putting a gun to his head.

It is stated that the doctor, who was buried amid the tears of his loved ones, committed suicide as a result of depression due to losing on the cryptocurrency exchange, which suddenly collapsed after Iran decided to attack Israel.

Notably, the information that he had made a loss was shared by the doctor in his social media post before he committed suicide."

It really is sad to see how people are handling their losses. Maybe he has been really in debt and couldn't handle it anymore. I can't understand the original post but it seems like he lost a lot. It's really good to manage your risk in this market.

This is such a sad news. His family would be in so much pain.

Losing money to cryptocurrency investment is very unbearable. And it is even more hurtful when you invest money you know you cannot afford to lose against the advice of friends.

There is shame, pain, and regret. You cannot face yourself nor your family because you have failed them, at least that is what they think after then, they come to the conclusion that the only thing that would save them from the shame, pain, and regret that they feel is to kill themselves.

Any and every cryptocurrency investments carries risks and cryptocurrencies still remains very volatile. Doing one's own research helps to prepare one for the unforeseen circumstances that will show up unexpectedly.

"Don't invest what you can't afford to lose"

I remember seeing Reddit pinned suicide prevention numbers for each country after a wave of desperate investors
And I've read long ago a professor of psychiatry saying people can easily have a psy problem with digital finance. He drew comparisons with online gambling addictions and it starts when people check almost everyday their bank account with smartphone.
crazy world

the people are in such a state of fear and distress that they could fall into any kind of madness

Exactly.  Nothing is worth killing yourself over.  Life is precious, worth more than any financial asset.  RIP to the family.

it's sad that none turkish language media has report the news. Because it's important to repeat that investing in high volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies is not safe. You can quickly get higher losses than with traditional assets. People should be reminded to stay cautious and to only invest what they can afford to lose or what they would be ready to gamble.
