With ETH’s fork and its imminent damage I wanted to share a story about my journey with ETH. I might be a bit emotional at the moment over imaginary online funny money.

The year was 2015 and I was happily married. We both held menial office jobs under the same company. We were not poor but we were definitely struggling to save up for the future. Now to give you a little bit of context, I was raised on this website. I found out about ETH and knowing a bit about BTC I was intrigued. In a happy marriage of course you have to discuss all financial stragedies with your partner. She saw it as nothing but gambling but I did manage to let her put up my portion of savings towards ETH.

Later that year my wife told me that she was pregnant. I knew it was time to change my ways so I stopped browsing 4chan except for /biz/. Hey, it’s money related so relevant and potentially a positive in my life right? I started reading about all the big things about ETH and how it’s going to compete with BTC in due time. We were expecting a baby and it was time to really think about the future of my family. I know I know I shouldn’t make such important financial decisions based on 4chan posts but my own thoughts and opinions also happened to aligned with what you people were saying back then.

My wife was not happy about me spending our money our ETH. She wanted to invest with a bank where our money will be accounted for. I thought differently and I wanted to play the high risk high reward game with the potential for us to never worry about our finances.

We fought, a lot. But I insisted that we were making the right decision. As my wife took maternity leave from work, my income was our sole income. This was a problem as she was pregnant with our child and grew angry every time she found out I was dropping money on ETH.

She left without saying good bye before she was due. She had moved all of her stuff out while I was at work and left me a note saying that I’m a failure of a provider and that she was moving back to her parents to look for better options. This broke me, it really did. For about a year straight I couldn’t think of anything but her and my baby. But she never let me come see her. She never picked up the phone and she never called me back.

On the verge of suicide, I was still accumulating ETH. This was all I had in my life and I saw that it was going up, although not as consistently or fast as I would’ve liked it to.

New Years of 2017 came and I sold every single one of them.

My ex wife had heard the news and called my phone. When I didn’t pick up she left me a message. I deleted that message and blocked her number. I heard from her lawyer seeking child support, but I hired the best lawyer available and fought off my custody. I plan on being in my daughter’s life when she turns 18.

I’m remarried now. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I spend my days traveling the world on a whim, trying out new restaurants and operating a small cattery with my wife.

I wish everyone here the best in your endeavors.

Thank you for being here for me when I had no one and nothing /biz/.

I’m thinking he meant years end 2017, in which case ETH wasn’t going for about $800... if that’s the case I believe it


If he actually means Jan 01 2017 I’ll be confused

So between now and the time your daughter turns 18, you are in a great financial position and you are not helping to support her? If that is true it's pathetic, and you are not gonna make it.
