Veeky Forums has ruined my life
I am en electrical engineer by trade, always lived humble. Was an apprentice for a while, then things went a bit south for me in my personal life. At the time, I was living in Ohio, where I just couldn't get a job. By luck, I scored a gig in a small fish processing plant in Alaska and since nothing was holding me back here, I decided to take the plunge and moved.
Things were great, and I managed to save up a solid amount of money. But through long nights I discovered Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums and everything else. I see cryptocurrency being the hip think, so I decided to put in most of my savings. Things were great, I got into some nice coins early (like ANS) and I was completely high from the profits, money just seemed to multiply.
This went on for a while and my colleagues noticed I suddenly got a lot of money. I tried to keep it hidden but then I told them all about it and how great it is, free money basically. Then they persuaded me to take their savings too and invest them and suddenly I was operating a portfolio of several $100K.
But after gains came the lows in July and the fork in August. Money evaporated, I couldn't do it anymore. I clung to Veeky Forums for advice, but lost more money to pnd after pnd. I hid this from my colleagues but they wanted to see the money. I had to tell them that it was gone, over the course of weeks, reduced to pennies. They got so pissed they beat me up. I got fired from my job. They also kicked me out of the house and I've spent the past few weeks on my last $5K that I managed to hide from them.
I contemplate suicide every day. It is impossible for me to get a job here now (small town). I am desperate and on the verge of ending it all. However, all may not be lost, because I have found a way to perhaps make the money back and start again. I don't see it mentioned here often, but it looks strong to me. The coin I am talking about is called "AELF".
