Don't let bitcoin overtake your soul

[eternalgloom]

You were basically just gambling there and you lost, not the fault of Bitcoin, just addiction to the thrill of solo mining and taking huge risks imo.
At least you learned a lesson, albeit an expensive one.

That is hard story to hear at this time of the year. To lose so much and then to blame it on bitcoin is not the way to go.
The only thing you can do is see it as lesson an move on or else it will make you bitter in life and it wil forever dominate your view on the world and of other things in life. It will eventually take all joy from your life and that is a start to a destructive path that no one will want to endure. Not at this time of year. You got to watch It's a wonderful life again this year if you already haven't to remind you of how life would be or not be if your situation was any different.

What a sad story, but unfortunately it is very easy to be engaged to this kind of problems when your control of emotions is too weak and you can't avoid the harmful influence of greed in each of your decisions. I have also faced this same problem, but trading in the forex market, and it was also an important cause to finish my previous relationship.

Honestly, spare us the sob story. You're trying to ask for tips, it's so obvious by your signature

You were gambling and lost, its not bitcoins fault that you lost.

Couldn't you tell that your girlfriend was upset? Even I, who spends alot of time on this forum, and coding my bots, can set even my girlfriend is upset. Don't you have any empathy?

Very similar concept to those that get addicted to anything, be it Bitcoin, Gambling. Acquire and use what you can afford to, don't jeopardize your life over it.

I am sorry to hear this and I am sure it has been frustrating.  Usually behaviors like this are not dependent upon the object of obsession (in this case Bitcoin).  If it wasn't Bitcoin it could be something else.

Well the most of us regret not know or be part of bitcoin when it started soo the interest into bitcoin and the expectation related to bitcoin make us being too many time follow the price and value,the most here for sure check this every hour,i see atleast once a day.
