Is larping becoming a public mental health crisis?

>grandpa proud of me at thanksgiving telling me he's been researching eth and sees that it is at 450$
>don't have the heart to tell him that I went all in on chain link and lost it all

Fuck I'm sorry gramps

>>4571350
honestly yes, I think it's part of some kind of soyboycuck culture, fetishizing being a loser online.

It's a good story anon, true or not. I like it.

>convince my family to take me to nearest bitcoin atm, 2 hours away
>they wanted to go to this city anyways for shopping, tell them ill buy some gifts for christmas
>arrive at atm
>atm only allows you to buy bitcoin, not sell it
>family getting impatient
>"enough anon, your joke is going too far, lets just go to the mall now"
>i ask the convenience store clerk how do I sell with the atm?
>he doesnt know what im talking about, "only buy, you buy here"

Only just getting back up to that level again now and I will never ever tell her she was right.

Anyone ever offer to eat your liver with some fave beans and a nice bottle of Chianti?

>>4571406
That was the best thing I've read all day.

>>4572504

>>4572504
Salty Redditard got BTFO on Bcash. Kek.

>>4572516
no, pretty sure human liver is poisonous

>>4572575
Nope.

>>4571691
This one I believe. Never, ever tell her she was right. Same with my wife. They don't know shit about money.

>>4572603
Same with mine. I tried trading with her involved. She decided she was smarter, took the reins, and refused to buy or bail when I told her. She had to "study" to know EXACTLY why a coin was moving one way or the other before she decided to sell or buy. By the time she decided to buy, the moon was over. When coins shit the bed, by the time she decided to sell they were down 60 percent. Women and crypto. Not even once.

>>4572657
are you the guy who punched his wife for losing his crypto money and then ran away

>>4572657
My wife just asks me to withdraw money and give it to her whenever I used to say a coin I held is doing really well. It's like she doesn't understand that I can compound my gains by reinvesting and thinks we should buy something every time it goes up. And then she decided one day she wanted to learn to trade too for some reason so I helped her set up some accounts so she bought like $10 of NXT for some reason to practice with and then forgot about it for a few months.

Now I just tell her I trade and no matter how good or bad I'm doing if she asks I'll just say everything is going "pretty well" and leave it at that.

>>4572686
Na. I met her when I was in third grade and she was in Kindergarten. We got married when I was like 21 and she was 19. raised 5 kids, been married 35 years or so. something as trivial as Crypto aint gonna break us up, or make us get physical.

>>4572504
I had all of that but minus college, rich family and BTC investments. REEEEEEEE

>>4572504
You and your family are everything that hates rational white males. FTFY.

>>4572819
Do you have any advice to make a marriage last that long? We've been married almost 2 years and I married fairly young, around the same age, as well. And there can be a lot of disagreements, and I've got some habits in my personality I know aren't great for our relationship.

>women
>not just doing heroin

>>4572885
tempted desu

>>4572819
who the fuck interacts with kindergarteners in 3rd grade?

>>4572872
Meh. Dunno. Early years are roughest. It gets better. Best advice is, don't expect to be the center of your wife or your kids
Universe. That shit is over. Be the center of your own Universe, be your own best friend first. Get to where you can enjoy your own company for weeks at a time. Don't expect undying faithfulness and loyalty from any Human but yourself. Get a dog if you need that. Make your financial support of your family a priority, but your need for their unconditional love, loyalty, and faithfulness secondary. Hold on to tight, and they will run away. Be somewhat aloof, and they will come to you. By that time, they really are secondary, so you have to make an effort to pay attention to them and spend time with them.

>>4572907
We didn't. she was icky and had cooties at that time, retard.

>>4572965
Not to mention knock knees and freckles, and I was a full fledged member of the Lil' Rascals He Man woman Haters Club.

Just do heroin boys, Women only know how to bicker

>>4572955
I'm trying to learn to disengage more when things get really heated between us and I think that's because of my nagging need to feel emotionally validated by her or my anxiety when she's upset with me, which is something women typically do, and I think that's related to what you've said.

You're advice is really helpful and applicable to me though, thank you.

>>4573004
Yeah, we used to argue a lot, till I learned to be the Adult in the relationship and deescalate.

>>4572015
>tfw I'll never pass out to my great aut calling me a chink lover
I don't know how to even feel about this

>>4573033
A woman is incapable of emotionally validating a man. It is just not the way they are made. emotionally validate yourself. One you achieve that state, women see you as a mystical god, and they flock to you like a moth to the flame. At that point its kinda too late for them, because you really no longer need their loyalty.

>>4573033
She says things that she knows will make me very angry or sad on purpose to get a reaction when she doesn't mean it and then I end up yelling or something.

Is it best to just walk away and go find and do something I love to do, kind of like you said above? How do you deescalate?

Sometimes it's an emotional thing for me that I just don't feel comfortable doing something else knowing that my wife is still very upset, and that's something I'm trying to get over.

>>4573068
Anyway, this is tripe for another thread. back to funny crypto shit.
