Bitcoin Forum

Long story short, I was aware of Bitcoin since years ago. I did read something about them, but the news associated them to ilegal activities so I didnt want to get involved with it.
Years later, I read about it again but they are way too expensive for my broke ass to get on the market.
This is specially depressing because im pretty much a no-gf, no-friends hermit that browses the internet most of the day, always checks for tech related news and so on. It was my opportunity to redeem myself and become a millonaire. This opportunity will never present itself again. Now im stuck with some shitty altcoins that will never be worth even a dollar. The dream it's over. I haven't been able to sleep and or think straight since then. My libido is pretty much fucked. It was always right but since I realized I missed the boat im just in zombie mode. Now im stuck in this fucking room for life.

How does becoming a millionaire redeem anything?

Man, too bad for you. Why don't you try posting, you can get some btc in time

Money doesn't equal success. I don't think Bitcoins and your lack of them ruined your life. I think you need to find someway to be fulfilled.

Buy some Litecoins and hope for the best.

It's really still early stages for BTC, so buy one today and maybe in the future it'll be worth many multiples what it is now. Or maybe it will be worth nothing. You never know.

It will never be worth enough to change my life. Anyone that thinks it will reach 1 million per coin is deluded.
For the other guys: Since when money isn't success? I dont have money so im stuck living with my parents with at the same time means im living with my grandfathers so i cant even have enough privacy to fap anymore. If I had money, I would be traveling and getting laid with good looking women, and I would able to be interested in other things as well. Im not so im stuck in this shit hole.

Why does it have to be worth 1 million? I think you're deluded if you think money brings happiness and success. Go and achieve something and measure success by merit, not by how much money you have or women you can lay.

OP sounds lazy, especially when taking his username in consideration. how is missing an opportunity = the destruction of your life? don't blame this shit on bitcoin; the problem is you.


you are deluded. it's possible that BTC will reach $1 million per coin. it's just that $1 million might not be worth that much.


because becoming a millionaire will support the "do nothing, be rich, and blame your problems on others."

Is this blue pill central?
I have worked all my life, got good grades in college, etc etc. It all for nothing. The economy is fucked, i cant find a job, it's all a joke, im stuck living with my parents, I cant do SHIT without money. Get fucking real. Meanwhile some stoner whose mined BTC in the early days to buy drugs off TOR and who is clueless about the Bitcoin technology and what it all means got his remaining coins and cashed out at 1000 USD and has more money than I will ever have with HARD WORK. Im fucked, and money will fix all that's wrong with my life, im not up do debate if 2+2 is or 4 or isnt. Bitcoin was the last chance at having enough money during my youth to enjoy a non pathetic life.

If bitcoin reach 1 million per coin it will mean the USD finally chokes on its own shit and it's worth shit nothing, which means the purchasing power of 1 BTC will allow me to buy a couple big macs at best in the future.

How To Get Rich
Depressed introvert edition.


1 - Quit masturbating in your parents basement and get a job.
2 - Buy used 7950
3 - Install in PC
4 - Point 7950 to www.middlecoin.com
5 - Earn BTC
6 - Sell BTC
7 - Go to step 2

do you notice a common theme here? you blame the cause of your misery on everyone and everything else. maybe you did work hard, but so far in this thread.. nothing you have posted indicates that's true. you are begging for BTC, and blaming it for causing your misery. i am lazy myself, but i don't expect to become rich with a get-rich-quick scheme.

More like depressed introvert slowpoke edition.
Depressed introvert edition was being an early adopter.

What do you me to post, my resume? my grades? lol
I have just given you an example, I know people that used BTC to buy weed and shit and are legit NEETs, yet they benefit greatly off luck.
Im not even beging , im just letting it out. I know everyone is saving every single BTC for their own escorts and weed.

god damn, you sound so damn lazy. luck? it's not luck, it's called foresight. the people who bought bitcoins early were smart enough to notice a good thing before it became good.

if you want to get out of your misery, you should really change the way you look at things.

BTW, getting good grades doesn't mean that you are not lazy. maybe school came easy to you, and you enjoyed it... and your professional career doesn't come so easily (yet you aren't willing to make the sacrifice). i am lazy myself, but i don't expect everyone else to give me free shit.

It's fucking luck. I know people like that, and they confessed they had no idea they would ever be worth shit. They just forgot about their wallets and even about Bitcoin existing until mainstream news reminded them of the price went apeshit, then they instantly cashed out and won a lot of money. This is called exactly that, luck. Stop calling me fucking lazy.

No, I did not enjoy college. It was really hard for me finishing it.

stop being lazy, acting as if you are a victim then.

My friend, you're not alone. Your scenario of the stoner who mined coins early and cashed out at $1,000 USD is a very small minority of people, how many of these "stoners" do you think honestly had the foresight to hodl until $1000? Most of them cashed out by the time bitcoin reached a few dollars in value.

Hence... something like 477 people *WORLDWIDE* own half the coins, and many of these people are like the Winklevoss twins who took a leap of faith (not the early, early adopters). You might as well get upset about not picking the right powerball numbers.  :)

You can always join the other 99.99% of the world population who save money through years of hard work and wise investing. Well, honestly, if you save money and make wise investments (ie. stocks and bonds), in the matter of a few years you'll still have more saved than the vast majority of people who live day by day and lack future time orientation mindset. Good luck.

"Uh oh, this goes against my worldview where people that aren't wealthy are automatically lazy, so I will him lazy"
You know shit nothing about me. Im not lazy, people have luck, others dont, just deal with it as much as I have to deal with the fact I wasn't lucky.

I bet if you changed your attitude such that the bolded selections would naturally be rephrased in a more optimistic way, that alone might cause a significant change in your life.

Edit:  Merry Christmas :)

QQ

OP, you stop people from giving to charities. Merry Christmas!

It's hard to be positive when you never have positive reinforcements.
Whatever, just let the thread die. I already vented off.

hello is this the jelly school...... m'kay, I've got a little girl here who is extremely jelly

new opportunity up and coming imo. see siggy.

Here's my Christmas thread from last year:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133015.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133015.0)

This might give you some perspective.  I also lost 80% of my possessions in a flood shortly after penning that thread and found out that my girlfriend had been sexually assaulted by several members of a university hockey team, and then I found out that she cheated on me twice, attempted faux-suicide and was hospitalized.  Oh yeah, and my car broke down twice costing me about $2,200.

Relax.  Keep your head up.  What doesn't kill you will make you stronger (but only if you believe that).

I feel your pain. I have several million dollars but have not had sex in over 3 years.  Life just hasn't been the same since I died of emphysema in 2010.  My kids don't even talk to me anymore.  If only I hadn't wasted my 78 years building a fortune.

Buy some lottocoins, and hope to "win the lotto" (AKA multiply your money and get an ASIC miner, that's what you want if you still belive in btc - but i'm suspecting you didn't belived in it and probably don't belive in it now).
Meanwhile live just like the 99% of people... you can't belive how much my butt hurted when i found that btc reached thousands dollars and i didn't had anything.
Then i did some research and buyed  my little fraction on btc @ 400 and then again @ 1000 USD, now i'm up just a little bit but I KNOW i'm STILL an early adopter, as the vast majority of the people i know don't give a fuck about bitcoins.

Yes, BTC are nice to have, and if anyone gives them out, I'll tip my hat to them in gratitude.
BUT, money isn't the most important thing in life. What's money without someone to share it with? What's money to someone who has a terminal condition?
Appreciate life as it is. I know times are tough, but you'll get there one day.
If you can't find a job, try offering your services on here for BTC.
You're tech-savy. Create a BTC site. Use your skills. You will be rewarded :)
Life's a b****. The only way to progress is to get up and fight for yourself :)

Nor a bit nor a coin can ruin your life.  They may change it, but only you can ruin it.

here's a tip if you are tired of sitting around your room, jacking off and feeling depressed: do new things that you have never done before. if you always drive by your neighborhood, try just taking a walk. put new things in your mind if you don't like the old.

Well guess what bitcoins arent the only opportunity you missed to become rich bro. There are TONS of new opportunities every day
and to assume that because you missed the bitcoin boat you are done its probably not true.

Btw bitcoins may still rise and be worth TONS in the future, so the boat maybe still has not left. Also so many people dont know anything about bitcoins

once the general population hears about them the price will even increase once they start using btc

Two words: Think.Differently.

I agree with this.  Attitude, even when acknowledged to be important, still doesn't get the credit it deserves in my opinion.

Our attitudes create our future.  They first help us interpret our world within an emotional framework, and this interpretation influences our motivations which lead us to enter into the environments and situations that we do, and also determines how well we will perform in those environments and situations.

Thoughts --> Attitude --> Intentions --> Actions -->  Habits --> Destiny

yes, our thoughts affect our reality.. and our environment affects our thoughts.

that's why i said OP should do things differently in order to think differently. i'm being a little forward here, but he has a loser's mindset.

if you are not happy, then stop doing the same shit over and over.

No Risk No Reward bud.

You have to be willing to fail before you will ever succeed.

Here's a great observation, though I don't remember who made it; probably Stefan, or whoever he got it from.

"You are exactly where you want to be in life."

So if you're not happy being where you are in life, you should either be in a place in your life where you change this, or you should accept your fate.  Hell can be defined as the limbo between wanting to be somewhere else in life whilst simultaneously refusing to do anything about it.

Shit! After reading all the OP's posts and The Joint's post he linked to, along with his added comments, I feel like killing myself, for I'm now so depressed. And I thought masturbating while donning a pink tutu was when I started losing it.

You are not yet late, You may see bitcoin with few more ZEROs and again your coments will be same. Hurry up. its rite time

+1

I wanna give this guy some of my worthless altcoins, I have lived hell of life and know what it means to not have luck, and now i know what work is, so OP, PM me and i will send you some currently worthless altcoins, tradable for btc so maybe they are not worthless (just worthless by themselves) Merry Christmas! get your head straight and play by the rules and life is what you make it with what you got.
  :)

fuck that, people like him make me want to not have babies.

Ha! i give my shirt to the most twisted cause i fight for a real sense of humanity (lost it awhile ago), you cannot fake this thread, Lol! Dude needs a shrink not btc, whatever though, makes me feel better to play secret santa ( i can't recall what that is termed in psychology).

This is not a joke, you need to see a psychotherapist or psychiatrist to express these thoughts.  You may think they're about virtual currency but it comes from a place much deeper.  Are you educated at all? do you have any degrees? How old are you?  It's not too late to become a millionaire a different way if that's what you really want.

Food for thought.

he's likely not going to listen to you.. being told that you need professional help is pretty bruising to the ego. btw, does actually seeing a psychologist really make a difference?

oh, and he says he is college educated.. but "there are no jobs or opportunities" for him.

Food for thought, if you can see yourself living longer than 2 weeks than you can die a millionaire, we cannot say how that could happen cause we can't evaluate your situation, maybe you just need to find your beach.

Oh yeah it helps being "told" that you need to see someone, that is like grease on gears baby!

I apologize, I should've said "need to consider" instead of "need".  The only reason I mention this is because I am the son of a doctor who aspires to follow in his footsteps ( he's not a psychiatrist) and the only professional help that benefited me was a psychiatrist who was also an expert in psychotherapy including CBT, DBT, as well as experimental treatments.

I am not yet in med school, I'm still working on my undergrad but the problem I ran into with traditional psychotherapists is that I knew more about what they were talking about than they did.  This is not a delusion of grandeur, they normally admitted this fact after googling a few facts while still in the office, trying to prove me wrong and when they saw that I was right, they conceded defeat and recommended I see someone more experienced as they couldn't help me.  Some of the therapists I saw are likely in therapy themselves now.  I'm not a cocky or arrogant person until I'm in a room with someone who makes the mistake of looking at me as a billable hour.  More often than not, I started asking questions about their qualifications and even those with a M.A. in some bullshit counseling program couldn't effectively address my concerns and questions.  Instead of admitting that fact, the next 30 minutes of a typical 1 hour session was filled with them trying to feed me bullshit and I spent the last 15 refuting everything they'd said, leaving a couple of them visibly flustered.  This only fed my ego and made me believe that therapy was useless and that I was justified in walking the path of self-medication.

In the end, I found a guy who was truly an expert with nearly 40 years of experience in the fields of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy and he's not even 60.  He was the first person (besides my dad) able to discuss my personal diagnosis, which was Major Depressive Disorder, with a high degree of understanding  and found a treatment that worked for me after working with my dad and another psychiatrist to formulate a course of action.

Without my dad, I wouldn't have lived to see 25, not because of intentional suicide, but because of efforts to self-medicate guided by judgment filled with fog invisible to me and visible only to those around me.  

I'm not cured, but I was finally brought down to reality by people who truly knew more than me, and what's more, they were able unravel my finely-tuned efforts at manipulating them after this technique had worked flawlessly on every counselor and MD I'd ever been made to see as a patient.  The goals of my manipulation being to get whatever prescription I wanted or to illuminate the ignorance of counselors.  

The evidence of my behavior and the path of destruction I'd left in my wake was something I could no longer ignore, and from there, my perspective on life changed.  I'm a more productive person now, I've regained the trust of my family, and I'm finally on the path to having a career.

This was just my experience, but the point is that it's all about finding the right person to listen and be able to advise you in a way you take seriously.

I still think you need to take my altcoins, as an outside observer unbiased to whatever else you have going on in your life I think that an anonymous contribution to promote your well being will help you to adjust to the irregularity's that you might find as you go about your daily life, Now send me an address!
(Qrk or BEK)

What type of Altcoin is it and how many do you want to give me?  Or are you offering shares in something?  Sorry, I'm a little confused.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see quark or bek there when I looked at the post.  Which one do you think has more potential?

Damn i think your drinking too  8) what I said was meant for the op but I will split both with the two of you if you need, i think QRK has better potential for a bull run and i think any coin that increases with diff has a better chance of survival based on transfer of "sweat equity transferring to digital holdings" than any coin that halves or decreases in reward to miner.
Now then which do you want? QRK that has a future of sorting out its BS but is now tradable for btc-Or BEK that is considered a joke?

Haha, you're close, I'm not drunk but I am in an altered state (not hallucinogens either btw).  I dl'd the QRK client and my address is QP4VfgRwLBDiFuuHdSUz94a8gpZTv6NxK5.

Thanks, for your generous offer. I didn't mean to spill my guts a few posts back, I just wanted the OP to understand that no matter how convoluted the situation, there is always someone who can help.  The only stipulation of receiving help is best represented by a quote from Morpheus in The Matrix:

"I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."  This means that help is only receivable if you ask for it in case I was too vague.

Hmm.. with an username which sounds like giveBTCpls, the intentions are very much clear. There are a lot of freelancer sites which give out the payments in Bitcoins. Why can't the noobs try out there instead of begging here.

I would bet money that if OP ever became a millionaire, he would be happy for a little while and would feel successful, but he'd soon blow it all on materialistic shit and hookers, then he'd be depressed again and back to square one.

Is that what you spent it on?

Keep ur head up

lol, well just don't get in your lambo then

I don't think Bitcoin ruined your life. This is not the end but a beginning of a new era and I think Bitcoin is an opportunity.
But since when success equals becoming a millionaire? You don't have to be a millionaire to be successful. But if you are one then you are successful no doubt. Some people held their bitcoins in the beginning, some have lost, but those are just out of luck. If you are not one of them then don't be. It is your life after all and what you can do is to make a change. Any changes that will give benefit to you will bring you a step closer to success.

Yeah nigga just hop on your G650, no need to crash the Gallardo.

How can something you don't have ruin your life?

The right situation and the lack of having a gun on your person comes to mind.

Well, I think that's a different situation all together, but maybe you could use your other skills in that situation, like karate or reasoning  :D.

You might not be a Bitcoin innovator. But still you can become an Early adopter.

That graph is way off. Right now we're in the "me too!" phase, followed shortly by the "why am I still holding the bag??" phase.  :D

The graph is applicable to every new Bitcoin boom.  This is like the 4th go-around by now :)

First wave - sub $1 (laggards = "Why didn't I buy under a penny?!"
Second wave - sub $32 (laggards = "Why didn't I buy under $1?!"
Third wave - sub $266 (laggards = "Why didn't I buy when it broke $32?!")
Fourth wave, where we are now - sub ~$1200 (laggards = "Bitcoins ruined my life")

Haha got a good laugh out of that. I'm sure these waves and why didn't I buys? will keep on going for quite some time.

So, the OP thinks he has problems, eh!

My life was ruined too...


Last week i EARNED 250 bucks per week in my work. But i LOST 5-20000 bucks because i was too tired and busy so i had no time to watch bitcointalk and i did acknowledged about doge on friday evening instead of monday so i missed the train and didnt mine too much.

Then i made sell order to sell billioncoin at 80 satoshi (highest bid) on sunday and went to work. After i returned and made 50 bucks per afternoon i noticed that my 200k BIL didnt sold and never reached more than 20 satoshi again. So i lost 50-100 bucks per afternoon because i went to work.

Now there is christmas, im sitting home, heating my ass from GPUs, i can watch graphs and bullshits so i dont lose anything. The planned work for tomorrow i cancelled so i can watch market and dont accept any loses from speculations.

Awaiting serious troubles in my job.

It'll be rather:

First wave - sub $1,000 - We're the billionaires!
Second wave - sub $10,000 - We're the super rich
Third Wave - sub $100,000 - We're rich!
Fourth Wave - sub $1,000,000 - Why didn't I buy under $100,000?

This thread makes me think the value of Litecoin will go up based on the premise people will feel they "Missed the Boat". 

I believe we have yet to set sail, so jump on board and quit whining about the price.  Any Bitcoin you secure today will be worth much more in ten years if Bitcoin succeeds at existing that long.

that's just a psychological game, and i think that's the reason why litecoin has made such huge gains on BTC.

I remember a time when LTC was the junk coin. Few mined it. Everyone hated it. Now you see people mentioning BTC and LTC together.

it was just in may/june, im certain, that the price for 1 LTC was 6 cents.. pegged against $120 per btc, or something like that. it's made huge gains.

Now, just get out of zombie mode. There is opportunity every single day. And this crypto thing is just about to get started....

It's easy looking back. Looking forward, is was extremely uncomfortable buying Bitcoins via an escrow site with person-2-person bank transfers, not to forget the long dwindle from $32 to $1.98.....

You, Sir, are a victim of captain Hindsight.

I think that's exactly what did happen. Litecoin will continue to rise along with BTC, but it'll never get anywhere close unless it gets some merchants behind it.

You should do some reading and think about God.  Money doesn't equal happiness or a successful life.  There are other opportunities out there too, try to come up with an idea.  Some sort of BTC service?  You can still get rich.

Hmm... so money can't make you rich, but god can? lol. You are funny. Please give me all your money, while I'll send you some copies of Bible and Quran.

Money won't cure those things.  I made tons of money back in high school and in college, yet something was always missing, and still is to this day. Poor or rich, we all fight the same internal battles. Best of luck to you.

One of the best quotes and marketing lines ever invented should get you motivated:  JUST DO IT!

good advice

the underlying point is that the problem is hardly ever your conditions, but how you perceive them. if you lose a leg, you could consider that event ruining your life.. or you could just learn how to live with it, as people have do.

Some pretty good for for thought for the OP, here's mine.

Think that every breath you draw and every moment you wake up to a new day, no amount of BTC could buy that opportunity to do so. Meaning, there are people, as i type this, who would give anything to see the next second/minute/hour/day out.

Too many people living these days like they want to be the richest person in the graveyard. I say fark that.

BTC train has not yet left so there will be opportunities but even if they are missed, you still have your life.

Make the most of it.

Do what you love, the BTC will follow.   ;)

Best quote and marketing line? Do you work for Nike?

OP don't be shy, buy $10 worth of btc every week, or whatever.
Can you say "exponential growth."
And be glad you didn't buy at $1000.
Also, quit whining.  Nobody likes a whiner.

If he did that, Bitcoin may tank in the future, then he'd still be Bitcoins ruined mah life.

But yes, that is a good investment plan. Buy a little of what you can afford and hope for the best.

$10 a week means only $520 worth of BTC per year. A bit low. You can multiply it 10x.

Money is proof of ones achievements. It doesn't make a good person if you're rich, just shows you have provided service/value to achieve wealth. You make your own luck.  

Does it? What about if you stole it all or inherited it?

There is one thing that pisses me off.
If you want money, work for it. There is no such thing as easy money. If you want bitcoins, work for bitcoins. If you want dollars work for dollars or any other currency.
If you want to become rich, act smart, stop complaining. You wont make a penny by sitting your ass doing nothing.
Most people think rich people can just stop working, have a nice life without cares. Thats completely wrong, someone rich is rich because he or she worked their asses to get where they are and most of the time they have an horrendous schedule of 15+ work hours per day. Only complete dedication will get you success.

Yes:  hold onto it for a year.  Voila, it's worth ten times as much as when you bought it.

Ha.  Not everyone is a self-made millionaire.  There's a lot of fortunate people in the world who didn't do a thing to earn their money.

IMO - money proves nothing.  

ETA: OP - go volunteer somewhere and leave your parents house.  Meet people.  Go to concerts.  GTFO of the routine.  BTC is not the last opportunity, by a long shot. 

yeah, and we live in a fair society where as long as you work hard, you'll become wealthy. right. you must be living on another planet.

dude you are seriously depressed.
go talk to a doctor and if don't have a job spend your time helping others.


money is proof of nothing.

Nope.

However Nike does have one of the best marketing teams on the planet and their stuff is pure quality.  The phrase "JUST DO IT" is something universally relate to.

What's pure quality about Nike? I think Hitler coined the phrase "just do it" ;D.

most of you are being WAY too nice to OP. half of the world population lives in extreme poverty, scrounging for their next meal, and this kid went to college (probably paid for by his parents) and is too lazy to go get a job (anyone who REALLY wants a job could find one in a single day) so he sits in his parents' basement on his modern computer eating Doritos and throwing woe-is-me pity parties for himself on bitcointalk.org and hoping suckers will "giveBTCpls".

look kid, it sounds like you have 2 main problems. 1, you're the embodiment of the "entitlement generation" and think you're somehow special and shouldn't have to work for anything. 2, no one has ever told you what a little pantywaist you sound like, your parents probably tell you everything is ok and you can live with them until you can all collect social security together, and the online communities you hang out in just reinforce your victim mentality.

you want money? figure out how to EARN some. heck, write a witty post on bitcointalk.org and maybe one of those people who got rich from their good foresight on Bitcoin will donate a BTC to your tip jar. meanwhile there will be thousands of children dying of cancer who WISH they had your opportunity.

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - Mark Twain

not me. being nice to someone whose maturity is handicapped is just dangerous. it reinforces the wrong attitude and he'll just end up thinking like the crackbaby he is.

Being depressed will only make you miss more opportunities in the future. Yes maybe you won't become a millionaire anymore, since you don't have much money to put down but you can still make the most of it.

Bitcoin is still growing, it's not too late also consider Litecoin and look for other 2nd Gen Crypto currency
