Sometimes I get the impression that certain posts, especially OP posts about personal stories like this one, would be better placed on a blog than on a forum that pretends to be serious.
Are you a mama's boy? I feel bad because all of your decision in your life is always chosen by your mother.
I don't want to be too hard on the OP but that's what it sounded like to me.
In 2016, there was less noises from altcoins and altcoin forums like now. If you did your research with Internet and search engines, Bitcointalk forum would appear at top of Google Search.
It is myth if you searched on Internet and did not see Bitcointalk in the list.
That is another. The minute you start analysing stories like this you find points that don't hold water. You don't know how true the OP's story is and what his real intention was in writing it.
