/biz/ - Business & Finance

/biz/ has ruined my life

I am a humble electrician by trade. Was an apprentice for a while, then things went a bit south for me in my personal life. At the time, I was living in Ohio, where I just couldn't get a job. By luck, I scored a gig in a small fish processing plant in Alaska and since nothing was holding me back here, I decided to take the plunge and moved.

Things were great, and I managed to save up a solid amount of money. But then I discovered 4chan and /biz/ and everything else. I see cryptocurrency being the hip thing, so I decided to put in most of my savings. Things were great, I got into some nice coins early (like ANS) and I was completely high from the profits, money just seemed to multiply.

This went on for a while and my colleagues noticed I suddenly have a lot of money. I tried to keep it hidden but then I told them all about it and how it is free money, basically. Then they persuaded me to take the majority of their savings too and invest them and before I knew it I was managing a portfolio of several $100K.

Then after the gains came the lows in July and the fork in August, then a crash in September and now last month. Money slowly evaporated, I couldn't do it anymore. I desperately clung to /biz/ for advice, but only lost money to pnd after pnd. I kept this from my colleagues but eventually they wanted to see the money. I had to tell them that it's all gone, over the course of months, reduced to pennies. They got extremely pissed and beat me up. I got fired from my job. They also kicked me out of the flatshare and I've spent the past week on my last $5K I managed to hide from them.

I contemplate suicide every day. It is impossible for me to get a job here now (small town). I am desperate and on the verge of ending it all. However, all may not be lost, because I have found a coin to perhaps make the money back and start again. I don't see it mentioned here often, but it looks strong to me. The coin I am talking about is called "Digibyte".
