LOL! A troll gets trolled! Even if it is a very elaborate troll, it doesn't mean that there aren't real marriages being ruined by bitcoin. His fault is telling her.
No, his fault is spending her money along with his, investing in something as volatile as bitcoin out of greed (new home! kids college fund!), and going full-blown cultist in completely inappropriate settings. Sounds like she needs to find a way to hide some money from him for personal protection reasons, wonder if she has looked into bitcoin for that? |

My rules are very simple:
1. Only invest what you would be willing to throw in the
the toilet.
2. Don't buy above $100.
3. Don't piss off your wife.
Didn't you just get done saying the guys only mistake was telling his wife? Because he definitely broke all three of those rules. Sounds like she needs to find a way to hide some money from him for personal protection reasons, wonder if she has looked into bitcoin for that?
She wants to hide it, not lose it. |

it doesn't mean that there aren't real marriages being ruined by bitcoin. It brings to the fore aspects of a person that might otherwise have remained invisible. But is marriage maintained by the invisible to be celebrated? Desperation brings out the worst in some. |

From the 266 spike until the 1k spike, they were definitely supportive of each other. I guess the bitcoin price rollercoaster created an emotional rollercoaster in their marriage, and I'd bet pounds to peanuts dollars to doughnuts their marriage is far from the only one to suffer in this manner.
Agree except for the FIFY bit.  |

Agree except for the FIFY bit. I agree dollars to doughnuts sounds way better, but given the price of doughnuts, it strikes me as a reasonably fair deal -- perhaps only slightly unfair -- and the whole point of the saying is to suggest you're willing to lay tremendous odds. |

Thankfully I don't have a wife. If I did then I wouldn't tell her about it and I'd only be using my own play money.
If you start potentially throwing your collective future down the toilet, then a spouse has the right to boot your balls through the top of your mouth. My sympathy is limited.

Well what if it pumped to 10k? Then she'd probably be sucking his balls not booting them  |

Provided they're not informed from the get go and the loss of the money invested isn't going to impact their future, then you look like a hero if it pays off. If it doesn't then there's nothing to be thrown back in your face. If my beloved told me she'd put half the house deposit into BTC then I'd be shopping elsewhere the same night. |

The FPR pattern says we're going down, possibly below $200 before the short squeeze. In hindsight I should traded that dead cat bounce to ~ $247 but hindsight is always 20/20. It's too dam risky to sell with prices so low even though they are probably going lower. There will be people who miss the train (and by train I mean the short rapid rise to ~$350 squeezing the shorts before resuming the downward path).
I'm not really comfortable sitting on this much cash. I'm more of a "let it ride" kind of guy, so c'mon, dumpmonkeys, dump! Gimme your coins. It's too volatile of an asset to invest in. You can't handle the swings. Get out now and save yourselves!!!

Troll story or not. If you really think that SHE is the problem, than well.... |
