Failure is real, there is no doubt about it... I failed so many times in my life that I can't count them... 😃 Also, I have a father who is so negative that he would rub my nose every day about those failures, and trying to kill all future attempts with the statement... "It will fail..."
IMO, I would say that failure is a state of mind... Am I a failure because I didn't collect 1M USD from crypto? Maybe I am in the eyes of people whose goal is to be rich... Did I have a nice streak with crypto in some moments? Yes, I did, and I enjoyed those moments... Even if the story would end up on that, I have tried... Much better than doing nothing...
You can't fail if you don't even try... So, the "safest" thing is to do nothing... For me, that's not worth living... I don't want to have a life of 99%...
Those who DARE fail... Yes, you can finish on your knees, but is that so bad? It's always a learning curve and step forward, as hard as it looks and feels...

Yes, the only way to actually escape failure is to do nothing, I even if you do not do anything then how are you going to truly experience things like investing, the joy of participating in crypto, or even doing some of the financially experiential things of life?
I have also had people call me failures in the past, why is hurt, it is also been a big driving factor. We will always get people criticize us for failing and I think the biggest aspect of this of this is failing to win big with crypto in the past 10 years.
You are right when you say it is a learning curve, this is how we gain experience no matter how sad it is acquired, there is nothing we can do rather than to use it as a driving factor.
Most times failure hurts, especially the cause of the insults and discrimination that comes with it.
I think people are mostly scared with the discrimination and the regrets that comes with it.
My son got 18 two years ago... He is "trying" to act as an adult, and he is going through the perfect phase of the "learning curve"... 😃 Getting hit by "real life", trying to live by his own, paying his speeding and parking tickets, etc. So many "failures", but I can't see a better way to learn and to become a better human than that journey... There are no words I can say to him to make a bigger impact on him as a person than life experiences from tough times in life... A blessing and a curse...
I know you are going through some hard times at the moment, but you will get through as you have a good attitude, even when it hurts a lot...
All the best, my friend! 🍻
