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.
Never posted to this forum because I had nothing constructive to contribute. Don't lose hope mate, don't sell - the price will correct itself, just watch and see. You only make a loss if you sell at one; you still own all your coins.
The price will get back to 0.02 and then climb higher. You just need to be patient. I understand the feeling of putting up a lot you needed to buy what you bought, but this is a crypto that offers something new. If you need some reassurance, look into the people who have invested in this coin (BitFinex for example - check the site out).
When the darkcoin devs tune the coin and release updates, the price will turn. I own a lot of darkcoins and I'm not saying any of this to make sure you don't dump your coins to crash the price, I'm saying it because I have no fear about the price not recovering.
Just don't sell at a loss, and when the price climbs above 0.02 don't sell for a small profit! Trust me (difficult as im a total stranger) - it'll easily go beyond 0.03 but might take a few months! And don't stress your poor wife out in the interim with bad news as it'll complicate the dynamics at home, further adding to your stress!
