Don't let bitcoin overtake your soul

[adamstgBit]

try and find a girl that knows about / likes bitcoin, i do believe these mystical creatures exist   

[QuestionAuthority]

What a story, thank you for sharing, it couldnt have been easy to post this in such a public way. I'm sorry to hear that BTC has effected you in such a way, and hope you much luck and success in your future endeavours.

It was easy to post it in public because none of you know who I really am. What is hard is reading some of the responses to my story. But I guess it helps in a way.

Man up and get on with your life. Get a new woman, it's not that hard to do. If she couldn't stand by you during your hard times then good riddance. Go bankrupt or get two jobs and pay off your debt, visit a therapist about your addictions and stop whining like a bitch.

Do you have any idea how many people here have lost thousands more than you have? Let's put it this way, pirate@40 stole 700,000 btc from members of this forum. Mark Karpeles cost forum members 850,000 btc and there are too many more thefts to even mention. I've seen one estimate that claims as many as 15% of all bitcoins in existence have been stolen from their rightful owners. If everyone that lost money with Bitcoin made a thread about it there wouldn't be anything here but whining threads.

By the way, I've lost about 400 btc to various "investments" here. At the current exchange rate that would equal roughly $185,000. Get over yourself.

Cool story, bro.  Blockchain proof or it didn't happen.  Does everyone here believe everything they read?

Technically speaking, one cannot be a schmuck and a pussy at the same time.

Huh, I never realised that schmuck is derived from the Yiddish word for "penis".

Origin of schmuck:
 Yiddish shmok, literally, penis
  First Known Use: 1892

Origin of pussy:
 perhaps of Low German or Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse pūss pocket, pouch, Low German pūse vulva, Old English pusa bag
  First Known Use: 1699

Thanks Soros

OP too long - most likely a load of trolling crap

One thing to say. ouch! 

[maokoto]

I do not feel he is putting the blame on Bitcoin. I only read it and get reminded of something very important "the love of money is the root of all evil".

What he did was a form of gambling, and that is something that surrounds many things: actual online gambling, forex, stock market... and also Bitcoin. I am grateful for that reminder.

Bitcoin isn't all life's for... there's many better things out there for you to explore

[Decoded]

To be honest, you were kind of pretty much really kind of alot maybe addicted. Don't blame your bad decisions on bitcoin. Didn't you realise your girlfriend was getting annoyed with you neglecting her? What the hell is wrong with you? Open your eyes for once, keep them away from your screen.

[thirdchance57]

Op, please don't blame your life problems on bitcoin. Bitcoin is just money, an asset, a tool. You are the one who are in charge of your life.
You did not find the balance between your personal life and your bitcoin obsession and that is your fault. (I know it may sound harsh, but that is the truth)

I have to completely agree with what is being said; you can not blame Bitcoin for all your problems in life, let alone any of them.  You are able to make your own decisions and choose what you want to do with like, you just choose not to spend time with your girl and such.  You blaming Bitcoin would be like me blaming you for missing work tonight because I choose to make a response to this BS.  Become a man and take responsibility for your own actions.

[mirana12345]

If the story is genuine, it's quite sad that you allowed for greed to take over your life. It wasn't about bitcoin, bitcoin was just means to try to achieve
success and money, and if u didnt use it, you would choose something else like a stock or whatever.
Let that be a lesson to you, and nevermind the debts, they will pass if you work hard. But i still don't get why you didn't tell her the whole story from start..

[Yakamoto]

I believe the story, after OPs proof showing the addresses and the transactions. I have to say that I actually feel bad for him, even though he probably should have been able to manage his interests a little better.

I don't want to be too harsh or criticize OP, but I'm not sure what he was thinking exactly.

But, I guess they say that money is the root of all evil and it certainly played out in OPs case.

OK then!  I retract my skepticism, sir.

Cliff notes?

Sure:

• Had girlfriend
• Spent excessive time obsessing about bitcoin, lost girlfriend
• Promised to stop obsessing about bitcoin, girlfriend becomes wife
• Failed to understand the mathematics of economic theory and basics of bitcoin mining
• Lied to wife about losing money in attempt to gain more bitcoins
• Covered up the lie by lying more and using excessive debt to try and gain more bitcoins
• Obsessively used the same process that caused the debt to try to gain enough bitcoins to get out of the overwhelming debt before wife finds out
• Wife found out.  No more wife. No more bitcoins. No more money.

 WTF?!  This is totally not what happened.  Firstly, they were never married and secondly, the reason the girlfriend left was because they were engaged for over a year and a half with no wedding date set.  Where did you get this mis-information?!  You would never get a job at Cliff's Notes! I shudder to think of how you would butcher Shakespeare where you to condense it for us.
 Do NOT use this guys notes for study purposes people!

I thought his fiancé broke up with him because he had a girlfriend...

...Or was it his girlfriend that broke up with him because of his fiancé?

Sucks OP, best you can do is learn from your mistake and go on. Nothing you can do will fix it at this point.

[TeamButtcoin]

Op, please don't blame your life problems on bitcoin.

In my opinion:
All I can say is: It wasn't Bitcoin's fault.

But if you think Bitcoin ruined your life, you're terribly wrong. You're just blaming something else for your mistakes.

Wait, are you really blaming Bitcoin for what happened to you? How can you blame computer code? Man, give me a break. Im sorry for your loss, but blaming Bitcoin and not yourself will not make you learn a valuable lesson.

I can read up on Bitcoin all I want and nothing bad has happened to me. Then again, I don't have a gf.

BTW: Your fiancé didn't leave you because of Bitcoin. She left you because your a schmuck.

i think the problem lies in each individual,  blaming something is not a right thing

you shouldn't be blaming bitcoin one bit.  What you should be blaming is genetics

That's not a Bitcoin story. That's the story of a man-child who doesn't know how to manage his emotions/fear, time, finances, nor his relationships.

You sound like a woman btw.

So blaming Bitcoin for your loses and ruined marriage is like regular gambler would blame dollar for his loses. Get over it mate, stop doing that and you will be fine. Life goes on.

if in my opinion, it is not the fault of bitcoin

but don't blame on bitcoin.. bitcoin can't take your soul

Let's all not forget the most important thing, that Bit-Coins not be cast in a poor light!!!11

[DannyHamilton]

WTF?!  This is totally not what happened.  Firstly, they were never married

You're right.  My mistake.  Apparently, I'm much better with technical details than with noticing that that in a story he "asked her to marry him", but that the wedding never actually happened.

Sorry about that.  I've gone back and fixed my post.

indeed bitter reality, but that's the reality

I went back and fixed my post too.
