I lol'd.
Thinking back at some of the things I spent my earlier BTC on, some of the most expensive times of my life!
Yeah I still have some of that $10000 per ounce coffee that I orderd in 2012 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Go beat that you fancy millionaires.

It seems every time I find something that looks promising, I'm just a sucker waiting to give someone else a payout. I have been following advice a gentleman offered to "hodl" my bitcoin, from $984 all the way down to now $436. I've just been fooling myself, telling myself "Don't worry hon, it will go back up! It always has!" I've been spending my time reading the forums and hoping. My friends called me crazy when I told them it's a sure thing. The shame is just as bad as the lost money. So I quit. You guys win. Coins sold. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I just love it when noobs lose their money! ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) That's just fucking mean. I feel sorry that the OP has ' done a Veronica' - I really do.. i almost can feel her shame. Imagine people laughing at you because you actually LOST money on bitcoin? You need patience and you'll be well rewarded.. but it takes time, balls and a true understanding of what HODL means. Veronica, sadly never came to grasp this. Another new phrase in the bitcoin dictionary? Credit goes to blatchcorn - first post on this page. Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Didn't catch it myself. Hail blatchcorn! Finally my place in bitcoin history!

sounds like you also did a veronica
No. I did a Matthew. 'Doing a Matthew'. As a Noun: Someone who buys an asset that is set to increase in value by over 10000%, only to swap it all out for drugs. As a Verb: Someone who is in the process of swapping out vast quantities of an asset that is on the cusp of increasing by several orders of magnitude in value, for drugs. hehe excellent post ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) you win the internets today!

I rarely get to the point of cursing someone out on this forum, but I'll make an exception here: You're a grade A cunt. [...] I'm not asking for your pity if/when a not exactly genius person makes a bad decision. I ask you to refrain from gloating.
Well, you're free to continue the crusade against all gloating on the internet. I think you might find it an uphill battle though ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

You guys are aware there are hundreds of people who did what she alleged to do and would be safe to assume have lost way more than she did?? I see horror stories all the time.
Donate, ha. Learning experience is the reward. To each their own though.

Just watch out not to get scammed by others. BTW, I lost 2% of my stash at Gox, could you please donate? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) No, serious mode switched on again: Your offer is really generous and I appreciate that. If there were more people like you, we wouldn't need bitcoin to make the world a better place. I think I'm going to donate at least 10% of bitcoin gains to some kind of charity. We all should.

I very much do not agree. I don't think investing into bitcoin should be accessible by grandmas at this point in time. Somebody who has never invested before should probably consider huge mutual funds with 3% yearly guaranteed returns, not the super risky and volatile tech investment. Encouraging somebody who obviously is not a professional or risk-tolerant trader would just lead to other Veronicas losing money, you are not helping, quite the contrary. However, I very much do like the spirit of helping the good cause, as with supporting the wrong Satoshi; just don't encourage people to invest their money under a false premise that they will be helped if it all goes wrong - most of them won't. You are spawning actual losers and false beggars with acts like this. Sorry if that sounds harsh but that's how it is.

That's exactly my sentiment. I did well, she didn't (assuming all of this is real), why not help out a fellow human being. Really quite a simple notion. A truly inspiring Feyman quote

My sig says "Feynman", no?

You are spawning actual losers and false beggars with acts like this. Sorry if that sounds harsh but that's how it is. Absolute agreement. That's why I'm preaching over and over again we shouldn't present Bitcoin as "the investment made in heaven" to newcomers, but instead say: Rule 1: Read the Satoshi white paper. (Answer A) Does it get you excited? Do you feel this is going to change the world? Good, consider investing (but see rule 2). (Answer B) You have no fucking clue what all the numbers and weird math symbols mean? Please abstain from investing, for your own good. Rule 2: Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Depending on what you earn, what your family status is, that could mean $100 or $1M. But be honest with yourself in appraising how much you really can afford to lose without going nuts (or broke). Rule 3: You're still here? Welcome on board! Be prepared for wild price swings. Historically, price has appreciated fantastically, but nobody knows how high exactly we will go in the long run, and how much time there will be between highs and lows. If the thought of sitting on a USD net loss for more than a year makes you squeamish, you probably should invest only a fraction of what you originally had planned to put in.
