I got together with the wrong person. That woman cost me $15k in 3 months, burned through all of my savings for her amusement and made me take a $6k loan for furniture and a flat. Lemmings, what’s your sad story?

    My story is when you could first buy them when they were worth pennies and a friend wanted to invest with me in them. Only wanted us to each put in $100 at first. Just didn’t believe they’d catch on.

      I mean, you weren’t really wrong about them catching on. Usage by everyday people is vanishingly rare and it’s certainly not trending in a positive direction. They’re just… worth a lot now… for some reason.

        Well, I think it stems from wanting some form of currency that’s not as volatile as the currency of countries and is universal. The problem (from my uneducated stand point) is that too many coins came out around the boom. Making it so that an alternative currency couldn’t be viable. But since Bitcoin was the “first” it’s still held on to its value.
