I started 2017 broke and with a very low wage. My girlfriend also broke up with me in the beginning of the year.
Although I had committed some trade mistakes I was able to get 400% gains, thanks to btc. This gave me hope and made my year a lot better.
I wonder how many people bitcoin "saved" this year, even preventing some suicides maybe.
Well congrats to you, your're a lucky man. For me, I just started on crypto trading October 2017, I'm just starting to learn about the potential earnings of holding a crypto coins or altcoins. Before the year ends, I've earned a little money, where I bought myself a brandnew phone, a brandnew TV and some appliances for my family. I'm jobless, and I thought to myself that I'm just a burden for my family. But thanks to bitcoin, I learned that there is still hope for me to help my family from financial problems. I hope this year will be a good year for bitcoin, for the altcoins that I'm holding and for myself.
Sad to hear you think yourself a burden to your family. Hopefully you can let go of that thought now you found your way in life. Wish you all the best in 2018 and thereafter!
