You told us a great, and motivational story, from which we know that everyone has their own lives, own stories. It is just they tell their stories or not. If someone is do great works, to contribute for the forum, they deserve respectfulness.
I have nearly same situations with altcoins, that I liked them, and forgot (due to their low prices). One day, the pumped, and I don't remember the password I setup for wallets. That's a long and stressful weeks to try remember passwords. So, I understood what you experienced.
By the way, I am just curious that are you serious that you started your companies with just $450?
Anyway, congratulations because finally you still been here, and contributed great things for the forum community.
