My almost 60 year old father just sold his home at an insane profit about 6 months ago. I begged and begged him to please buy at least 2 bitcoin.

>dad, just trust me
>hmmm sounds weird, anon
>dad, I care about you, you can’t work much longer, I think it’ll be a wise investment
>Anon, I’ll think about it
>Dad, don’t make the same mistake I did. I had over 300 bitcoin in 2012 and blew it all on ambien and black tar heroin from the Silk Road
>Anon, I’ll think about it
>Dad please

Well, guess what? I’m so happy he didn’t buy. If I would’ve pressed him harder I assure you he would’ve bought 2 bc. I can’t even begin to fathom how massive of a shit I’d feel like if he actually did it.

Probably similar to my business partner that essentially forced his brother to buy like $5,000 of saitama coin. His brother just lost his job, too. You can imagine how that went. This retard, though I love him, he’s retarded, checks his saitama and will say something along the lines of “man, if it just went up even X amount I’d be making bank… Meanwhile his brother got fucked due to his advice Lmaooooo. Anyhow.

Thanks to coming to my tedtalk. Anyone here wanna share stories of losing someone a lot of money?
