I don't really know where to post this but I feel like I need to vent.

Do not take this as criticism of DGB, blockchain technology, or cryptocurrency users & developers, it's not.

There are probably other factors that led to my brother's suicide, but he had been beating himself up over DGB for the past few years to the point where he seemed constantly depressed over it and gradually became a shadow of his former happy self.

He claimed to have owned 15,000 at one point, which may have been an exaggeration. But I know for a fact that at some point in 2015 he did have at least 6,000 DGB which he showed me in his wallets. He was so enthusiastic about DGB and how cryptocurrencies would revolutionize the financial world. For awhile he was annoying the fuck out of our relatives about how it would make them millionaires.

I'm not sure exactly what happened to his DGB. Sometime in 2017 he claimed to have lost most of them in a crypto kitties game and sold the remainder few too early. He very well may have sold them all too early, but who knows.

As the price took off in early 2018 you could tell he was distraught over it and became increasingly withdrawn from family and friends. Whenever I did manage to contact him he would sometimes end up ranting about how badly he had fucked up and how he would never have a chance to be rich again.

As the price climbed up to 0.1 over the past few days it became even more difficult to make contact with him, he just wouldn't reply to me or my parents calls and texts. A couple days ago my parents flew out to see my wife’s son and found him dead by suicide with no note. He was 29 with 50 years of life ahead of him.

Other than obvious grief I don't really know how to feel about this. If I had missed out on $1.8K I might have killed myself too. I can't imagine what my brother must have been feeling these past several years knowing he missed his best & easiest shot at a good life.
