About a month ago I discovered Darkcoin. I bought in over .02 after reading about what it was trying to do. I invested far more than I should have as I was certain it would keep going up.

I am in absolute despair right now, I still haven't told my wife how much I lost. Honestly, I'm terrified of the thought. It was money we could have used as a down payment on a house, or to send the kids to college. Money that pretty much would have been useful somewhere else.

We live in an apartment and have been saving for a house for years.

I'm sick to my stomach now. I can't sleep at night because my mind races through series of 'what-ifs.' I honestly don't know what to do. How do I tell my wife the money is gone?

I'm thinking about leaving everything behind and going off to some other country as that is how heavy the burden feels right now. I know my kids would miss me but I can't stand the thought of them knowing how much of a failure I am.

It's hard to read about all these people talking about all their profits and how much they made. I hope they realize for everything they've gained is off the back of someone like me who saw something they thought was a worthwhile investment and got burned.

I wonder what ever happened to this guy. Cheesy

Bet he didn't HODL

I had forgotten about him =(

Stories like this are important to remember. The few friends/family of mine who know about my Dash investments have congratulated me on making the investment and said that they only wished they had listened to me when I told them about Dash years ago. I keep reminding them that between then and now there were a LOT of dark times. Maxed out credit cards, an investment worth 20% of what you paid, kids to feed and job uncertainty. Those of us who held look like geniuses now...but only a year ago we were fools.

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. I invested way more than I could afford to lose, and endured a lot of stress and sleeplessness because of it. All is well that ends well--but the journey was trying. Don't FOMO!

My outfit -- 'IndiaMikeZulu' -- is big on P2P. We start friends and colleagues out with small amounts, and provide free open-ended advice and security assistance. Dang, it's hard work -- we're now in our fifth year of doing this -- but every single person we've brought to cryptos is now way way ahead, and their coin is solidly secured.

And we have the basis of a cryptocurrency network out here where I live. I have fruit and vegies and meat and beer delivered, and pay with cryptos.
