Veeky Forums has ruined my life

Veeky Forums has ruined my life.

So many great men through history have risked it all for the people they love. And for every great winner, there was always a loser. I am that loser.

I studied history but never found a job. A typical failure to launch, you know the story. I moved back in with my parents, god bless their kind souls, where I spend my days in my room playing Crusader Kings and sending out resumes. I never hear back. Still, day after day I would send my resume out into the digital void.

Then one day I found Veeky Forums. If I could go back and stop myself, I would. I’d close that tab and never return. But I didn’t. And now I feel like I can never leave.

I put together my meager savings and put it into the BTC and ETH. This was last spring. It was a real roller coaster ride but I ended up making significant gains. I was riding high. For the first time in a year my life had purpose, I felt like I had dignity and confidence. I got on tinder again and even scored a few dates. I met up with some local crypto traders and we’d drink together and go to the casino. It was like I'd emerged from a cocoon, a whole new person. I had tasted real freedom.

But it was all built on sand. Soon enough my luck ran out.

How the fuck are you down if you genuinely got in during spring?

I've been in since February and made some bad trades but even I'm up 10x at about $30,000 now and it wasn't all from just one or two coins either. What the fuck are you complaining about?

because it's so fucking hard to TAKE PROFIT fucking hell dick shit! Everyone wants a 1000% 50 is not enough! FUCK

In June my father got really sick. His heart condition was getting considerably worse. I had to be home to watch him while my mother went off to work or to run errands. Once, on a Saturday, I sneaked out the back while my father was taking a nap to meet up with this girl from tinder. We'd gone to high school together, I'd always thought she was pretty hot, and now we had reconnected.

The date went badly. She would answer all my questions with one word answers. We ended up smoking weed and just sitting in silence. I kissed her at the end but she didn't seem into it.

When I got back to my house, my dad wasn't breathing. I panicked and called an ambulance, but it was too late. He was gone.

From there, everything unraveled. My mother fell into depression and buried herself in her work - she just came home and lied in bed all day. She refused to talk to me. Meanwhile, I doubled down on my crypto trading to hide my sorrow.

Over the course of a week I lost so much daytrading. I had halved my initial gains. On the day of my father's funeral I spent the whole time buying and selling on my phone - I hardly remember any of it. But then I came to my senses and thought, enough is enough. I just need to buy some crypto and forget about it. Hold the line like any good general would order.

So I went all in on Decred and Zcash. This was late June. I resolved not to check on them and to keep living my life - going on nature walks, applying for real jobs, spending time with my family.

July was a great month. I made out with a girl on July 4 as I watched the fireworks go off. I went on a fishing trip with some friends. The grief was going away. But somewhere deep down, the guilt was not.

My father had not bought life insurance so we were a bit screwed, but he did have a substantial amount saved for retirement. By the end of July I realized my mother was not going to do anything about that, so I took matters into my own hands. Initially I wanted safe investments, but the siren song of crypto was calling.

After seeing bitcoin crash before the fork, I decided that NEO was my best bet. It was the wave of the future. So I took the savings and put it all into NEO. It was my personal waterloo. August was all red. I kept holding, not wanting to fall for the "buy high sell low" biz meme. But my stubbornness cost me.

Fed up, I finally unloaded at the end of August. NEO had bled me dry. Bitcoin was hitting all time highs, so I said, fuck it, I should have stuck with the classics. It was August 31, and I went all in on Bitcoin.

lol it's just money who cares

it's just numbers in your head
