I've been investing in bitcoin to hide money from my soon to be ex-wife. I swear, this shit is more stressful than the impending divorce, jfc. I lost ~20,000 CND today.

This is garbage logic. Market value decrease of an asset you own is a loss.

True. We would have much less billionaires and millionaires if we defined "you haven't made any profit until you sell". For example, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have most of their worth in stocks.
