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.
Good for you, but different people have different stories and experiences. Some are stuck in this bitcoin investment as they bought in at high price. Few of them have sell them at loss because they do not have holding power. I think its 50 50 cases where people have benefited and loss from bitcoins.
