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.
Man, you have not lost anything until you sell.
Right on.
Fatherof5 (strange name makes your story sound like typical trolling)... but that besides...
you only realize a loss if you sell at a lower price than where you bought in.If I were you, I would keep on believing in DarkCoin and help it succeed in one of the many ways that exist:
Tell other people about its benefits. (Socialmedia, etc)
Tell businesses you know about DarkCoin and work with them to adapt DarkCoin...
Help DarkCoin by creating Videos, Advertizing, Websites, Services, etc.. (I don't know your skillset though)
Oh, and also:

You can always offset a not so favourable DRK position, by buying more at a much lower price, and therefore getting a better AVERAGE price.
But I don't know how deep you are in the shits. But if you bet your house to get rich quick, although you have "5 children"... well you get no sympathy from me...
