A while back, I lost most of my bitcoins. I entrusted them to a custodian to look after.
I went through the stages of grief and finally accepted that it was my fault that they were gone forever, and I didn't seek retribution or call out for state intervention.
My life is great now, and what was hard at the time is now a minor blip and was actually a real learning moment for me.
Don't make any rash permanent decisions. Life carries on, and there's a lot more to life than money. Money doesn't bring happiness anyway; meaning does.
If you care about Bitcoin, this is really tough right now, but we will bounce back from this, and it will make us stronger.
