Bitcoin Forum

(since the price is continuing to plunge) My wife thought its a waste of money and a bad investment - "See! I told you, you didnt listen to me!" Im gonna be stubborn and still HLOD! My gut feeling its gonna spike in few months and hopefully, my wife is WRONG and start smiling when she sees the price going up and strong!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Your wife is short term thinking. Tell her to wait another 2 years. Its an investment for Christ sakes!

If your wife complains about your investing, the proper response is: "Shut up and get back in the kitchen."

Women are crazy and full of shit hlod those coins  ;)

Yes, a solid pimp slap is in order here.

that's actually a decent contrarian indicator

your wife probally dont know what shes talking about. have you showed her the trends of te past and how it almost lines up perfectly and it sows that a price spike is near

These are all critics dude. When it goes down they are all over us, saying they told you. And when goes up they are no where to be seen. So sit back and relax. Its going to be a hell of a ride.

My wife said the exact same thing, but changed her tune when asked if she would still want half in the divorce...if it ever happened.

I love my wife, this thread is depressing.

lol that's why you shouldnt tell your wife to begin with, or just say you invested $20.

You have nothing to prove to her if you use your own money.

If you used shared funds (like groceries money) she has a point - then there needs to be consensus a priori - not in hindsight. And of course there needs to be due care when handling those funds.

Oddly enough people like that tend to be unsupportive in tough times, but want to enjoy the good times. To those I say:

You just know it's gonna be an entertaining thread when it's a simple title like "My wife"  ;D

Show her some pictures of trains on the moon.

tbh I didnt know if its safe to open the thread at work  ;D

Dude, I love my beautiful wife too. We just want the best for ourselves and the future together.  :)
We have ALL money together and I was the one who convinced her about investing and buying BTC/LTC for $2500. She insist investing in real estate is a good long term investment. I agreed with her, but just want to invest in BTC/LTC for fun and she thought it was a waste of $2500. Whatever.  ;D

There is a reason why most of the world's wealth is in male hands.
The overwhelming majority of women are much better at wasting someone else's money than at making successful investment choices for their own.

my wife is also saying "sell"

today her dad showed up and suggested the same.

several friends that know about my bitcoin habit told me the same in the last few days.

4 months going down. 120 days.

i will not sell.

 :-*

this reminds me of a movie "boiler room" about stock brokers, here is the quote:

Greg Weinstein: Now there's two rules you have to remember as a trainee, number one, we don't pitch the bitch here.
Seth Davis: What?
Greg Weinstein: We don't sell stock to women. I don't care who it is, we don't do it. Nancy Sinatra calls, you tell her you're sorry. They're a constant pain in the ass and you're never going to hear the end of it alright? They're going to call you every fucking day wanting to know why the stock is dropping and God forbid the stock should go up, you're going to hear from them every fucking 15 minutes. It's just not worth it, don't pitch the bitch.

I have the opposite problem.  Bitchick is an uber-bull. 

Of course, you all know that already.

LOL, I remember that part!  :D :D

Just picture your wife with Michael Richards' face.

See my sig ;D

My wife encouraged me to buy more. I <3 my wife  :-*

Buy her a book on investments. Tell her not to nag about it until she finished the book. There is no way you can get through to her. Just like you telling her she doesn't need new pairs of shoes.

My wife said: Chinese are lying, Buy ! (not fake)

Hehe... this tread is funny!

You guys really have to listen to your wife's nagging?
After all... it's your money!

Certain budgets come from both sides (groceries / mortgage / house expanses, etc), but i guess BTC investment is not part of it! Or is it? : )

We both have separate BTC investments and i do what i think is best (HODL), and she does what she thinks is best (HODL when going up and bitfash.com when going down)  ;D ;D ;D

Joke aside: i get 100% support regarding btc and that is a very nice and pleasant feeling. Thanks baby  :-*

+100 satoshi,
this, show her who's the boss once and for all.

You made a poor choice. If you let her have her way, an even poorer one.

Put something in her mouth that will keep her quiet ...lolz

My wife's only complaint is that I didn't buy nearly enough of them for $3 each.  She does'n bat an eye when I buy more now.

The best thing I did was set her up with a wallet with 1 BTC in it.  Now she watches it go up and down with me.


The other best thing we did was to invest half our money together and invest the other half separately.  Her quarter is in bank mutual funds, mine is in bitcoin and ETFs, and neither of us complains.

True.  :)  I think I am a Bitcoin Hoarder!  That is worse than a hodler I believe.

Both of you still owe me something.

You predict BTC will become worthless.
Why suddenly you want something that will become worthless?
If they truely own you something that is worthless, they really don't own you anything.
Am I right or not?

My girlfriend was working as banker. At the beggining she found all the bitcoin jazz as a nerdy game. Currently her wallet is 3x mine!  ;D ;D :-*

My parents are the next ones I'm going to 'brainwash' (for their benefit!)  ;D ;D

WIFES OF THE WORLD, RIDE THIS RALLY!!

like my mum lol.....

Apparently $20 wire transfer fee to mt gox is too expensive to buy a few cheap bitcoins. that was at $2.

I finally bought in at $100 and shes been very quiet since.

Yeh, you should listen to her.  ;)

Mine's like ,
bitcoins down - sell it quick
or
bitcoins up - cash it in so we can buy x

then i remind her it was MY inheritance and she walks off quietly.  ;D

Why?  I don't gamble and I don't remember promising anything?

Hey, what about the fact that bitcoin is also morally superior to fiat??

  Using bitcoin is the right thing to do, and if everyone believes that, bitcoins value will shoot up!

It's because of people selling for fiat that the price goes down...

  Do the right thing and you will prosper- the crooks only look like their doing good for a while... what goes around comes around.

Tell your wife that you are going  "pump and dump" her  rather than 'hodling" her like you have been doing...

That wife is going to have to do so much on the knee stuff, I tell you...its going to pay off sir, you are just going to have be patient and then she pretty will have to....

LOL
If the wife says Buy more sell soon.
Unless she is a really special wife.   ;)

yeah something tell me she hasn't looked into BTC all that much or she'd not be so fast to say it was a waste of time.

Oddly, both my parents are on board. Not because they really understand it but because they think I do.

My sister and her banker boyfriend, however... their loss.

Sexism aside, ask her what she would recommend as an investment instead. Compare expected % growth and assess the risk of anything she suggests. If she has nothing to offer then she shouldn't be so critical of your investment.

It really bugs me when people complain but offer no constructive input of their own.

If you (two) are investing then bitcoin should not be your sole investment. An good portfolio will have a distribution of risk vs reward across many asset types.

Haha, I think someone needs to requote that! Love it!  :-*
(seriously!  :D)

sell the wife to buy more coins

when btc hits 1 mio i will try it other way around.  8)

Just do the cock in the mouth

She'll comply

There's no single woman in the world holding Bitcoins, so they are irrelevant and amateur. Hold it. :)

This is so much better than HODL, in my language HLOD means

 ;D

You can bet all your bitcoins and you can bet your marriage that your investment is not a wrong one. The bitcoin will go high again. The problem is only "When" and not "If".  ;)

Lol'ed at many comments here.

From $2.80 when I first bought I started educating wife and family on Bitcoin I've been shunned somewhat. To ease the conversation I sold 2/3 of my coins around $10 to cover my investment and buy some gold. So I could lead with: "this is 100% speculative" and "I have no downside risk"

I also gave my wife some coins on a paper wallet.

The dynamic was the same when it fell from $1000, I was the idiot for not cashing out everything.

I now just offer to sell my wife's coins while I insist on holding, and point out only those who know when to buy will have a good idea when to sell.

Funny thing has happened my wife now stresses over the price and I lol.

The misogyny is thick in this thread.

That said, I avoided the wife problem early on by never acquiring one. A wife is a serious financial commitment and, in modern times, a potential long-time liability. You should make a decision to invest in one only with very careful consideration.

Bitcoins you can buy a little bit of here and there and use online pretty much anywhere these days. You don't need to invest as heavily into them and they usually pay out after a year or two. They might end up being worthless someday, but they don't typically come with any additional non-financial obligations.

Invest thoughtfully!

problem is: no wife = no kids.
now kids are no investment, but if you ever wondered about the meaning of life and your special role in it, kids can be helpful answering that one. i recommend kids, they are miracles.

my kids have taught me a lot about life, and redirected my priorities therein lies a huge benefit, as for the rest I’ll go with the scientific research on the topic and confirm they don’t bring happiness.

Most women are idiots with money. Deal with it.

Kids are great.  Kids are expensive.  That is another reason we need Bitcoin!!  ;D

I might get married someday, but it will take a miracle:
No women no cry ~Bob Marley
No wife No cry. ~Bit_Happy

I have nieces and nephews, don't need sons and daughters. I went the safe route and put the onus on my siblings to carry on the family name. All I have to do is provide a financial safety net for them without worrying about the day-to-day.

I have nieces and nephews are like granddaughters and grandsons you get the bonus but parents still responsible to take then to hospital when they get sick ....

AGreed ...she needs to look at teh risk reward ration ..Bitcoin on a mid term 6-12 month investment is GOLDEN

they can be very cute, just over a year ago today:

I hope the next 12 months are as exciting as the last 12.

The misogyny is thick throughout this forum nevermind this thread.

But I feel very sorry for those trapped in what seem loveless, unsupportive marriages.  Someone posted upthread about using your 'own' money, which is about as anti-marriage an idea as I can imagine.   

I guess I'm very lucky -- 14 years married, completely sharing of good and bad times - wealth and possessions are details, shared ideas, passions and commitment is what it is all about.

Some very sad men in the world, no wonder we have so much war and violence.

Most women are idiots with money. Deal with it.

Deal with the fact you are a sexist boor...no thanks, I'll just put you on ignore. Bye.

Most men are too..
Its sad that so many think its theyd be better off without a companion in life

I'm the first one when it comes to joking (my sig is meant to be just a joke), but it's the first time I'm part of a forum where I constantly read misogynist posts. WTF?!

Misogynists 'hate' women.

to say that "women are no good with money" is not sufficient evidence for hatred.

You might argue it is sexist...... but I think it is an interesting trend because the women I know are certainly no good with it.

Call it as you like, but I still don't get why thinking most women are idiots when it comes to money should be a recurring topic here. OK, bitcoin is an investment, but there are lots of investing-related forums out there and don't have this issue. Also, bitcoin, if compared to other forms of investments, is very risky and I think a good wife has all the right to protest when she finds out that her greedy husband is investing more that their family can afford to lose. Who's the idiot here?

You sound as if you think being sexist is a problem. It's not. Being a feminist is a problem, being a misandrist is a problem, and so is being a misogynist. Being realistic about how the world works, is not.

I guess that Kathryn Legrande (sp?) just heads up the IMF based on her cookery skills.

Really, if you haven't met women who are good with money you are talking to the wrong women.

Don't make too many assumptions.

Your sig is excellent and something we should all strive to live up to.

OK, but joking is a little bit different from being offensive.

Anyone can be offended. By anything. That does not automatically make whatever was said an insult.

Calling someone an idiot is an insult no matter how you try to present it

Or an accurate description. Feel free to be offended at the same time, of course.
