I stumbled upon an article written about Bitcoin in early 2011. It got me thinking and I really liked the idea behind a digital currency. I talked to my wife about throwing a few grand into it. BTC's price was $7 at the time. She thought it was a terrible idea and said that we really need the money for the wedding we were planning. I didn't want to hear her bitch, so I said fuck it and moved on. A while later, after the wedding, I would check up on the price. I wanted to get into it but the only exchange at the time was Mt Gox and it seemed shady and confusing to me. Then the exchange ran into trouble, so it scared me off even more. I still checked up on it from time to time but still didn't invest. Life happened and years went by. The buzz about crypto was getting louder and louder and i finally convinced her that we should invest. This was Oct 2017. All of my investments were doing so well after that and i got really happy! Prices kept going up. Then we all know what happened. The market crashed. I kept seeing memes about "hodling" so I never sold or took any profits. I'm now at the break even point and I'm so depressed. I missed out on so much money and my life sucks. I'm at a dead end job and see nothing in my future. I just don't know what to do. I keep thinking about how my life could have been if I had invested just a year earlier. I can't stop thinking and it's driving me nuts. My thoughts are going to kill me.
