#RuggeroRespigo on #Reddit #stockmarket Suicidal over Dogecoin - Please help shibes I know Im stupid, that I shouldnt have risked more than I could afford and everything, but at the time I really believed in this coin. Also Im kind of in a pretty dark place right now so even though its probably deserved just like to let you know I already know Im an idiot so please try to go easy on me.I got in to Dogecoin at the pump in January. Put all the savings I had into it. I thought it was taking off because it was going to be the new Bitcoin. Like many in here whether we admit it or not I was frustrated that I wasnt in on the Bitcoin gravy train and hoped that Dogecoin would be the next big thing. A lot of shibes on here would probably scoff at that and say its unshibe like, including one of the founders IIRC, but not everyone has comfortable jobs and high income. A lot of us work really hard for near minimum wage and theres nothing wrong with wanting a better future for yourself and your family.I was planning to buy a house with my fiancee but now pretty much 80% of our savings have been wiped out. I told her and she went on a rant about my stupid ideas, it was pretty humiliating because I had been going on to her about how cool Dogecoin was and how it can grow in value but also that it does loads of cool things other than just being a currency. I always had a funny feeling that she was a bit meh about the fact that I was a nerd, and she is quite popular, I often wondered why she was with me but up to now I managed to put those thoughts aside and get on with my work. But in the argument she finally said it, how I was like a little kid and not a real man whatever that means, and how she hates me for blowing our savings and how I can never provide for us properly. I work nights in a warehouse and she is a waitress, but theres always this pressure for me as the man to succeed. We were planning on having kids once we were stable in our new place. To cut a long story short she left me, theres no reconciliation, she left me the engagement ring, it was about 2 weeks ago now, shes cold/distant and to be honest pretty indifferent. I feel awful but also numb, kind of like in shock.This isnt just about a breakup though, we all have them. Im 32 and still living with my parents, weve always been lower middle class, barely able to get by since I was young, didnt starve but never enough to make any savings. I was really proud of our savings account because I was doing something that was never really in our family, it was always sort of getting by hand to mouth without anything left over. I saw Doge as something to grow that massively within a short space of time and make my parents proud. Theyre getting sick of me even though I have a job, kind of embarrassing with a 30 something still living at home. They told me they are embarrassed when family friends come around and still see me there. I always told my parents about my savings and how me and my fiancee were going to move out soon and even though we had low paying jobs we were going to work hard to keep saving even with expenses of buying a home.I just feel like Im a complete idiot and a failure. I dont know where to turn because all I see in here is joke posts about the moon and how we shouldnt care about price and how people who want the price to go up are greedy, but I was just a regular guy hoping for a better life. I cant be the only one in this situation. I have been kind of obsessed about the price for the last week now, I even saw this one pic (not sure if its real) of that chinese whales computer desk filled with money, I just punched the wall and ended up with bleeding knuckles. I feel like there is nothing left for me now, Ive lost everything. My partner, my hope for a future life and family, the respect of my family, I am a laughing stock because Ive blown everything.The few friends I have, I cant even face them because I went on and on about Doge for weeks from January to March. I cant talk to anyone about this or have them understand why I feel the way I do. Even when the price dropped quite a bit below my buy in price (which was around 250 on average) from March to April, I still had faith that this was a temporary retrace, but this price drop is so long and it just keeps dropping like there is no floor. Who knows where the bottom is, 10 satoshi, 1 satoshi? Going down to litoshi? Ive tried to comfort myself with examples of Bitcoins drops from $30 to $1 before but this doesnt mean its going to happen again especially because of Doges very different properties (large amount of coins, worries about quick halving, starting out as a joke etc.). I should have read more about the technical aspects of Doge before I invested but like a lot of people here I had so much faith that the community could conquer these things. But it seems that community means nothing when it comes to the success of Doge, the price is being driven and manipulated by the big money, the chinese whales and big money speculators who see the unregulated crypto markets as a great opportunity for a quick killing. I wish I had known this 6 months ago but I was caught up in the whole feel good vibes of this place. Dont get me wrong I still think this community is great, much better than the cold, harsh and formal bitcoin crowd, but I also think people are blinded to the realities of a lot of things. Looking back I cant believe people actually thought donating to a zillion charities or NASCAR would catapult Doge to the moon. Sort of like: 1. put Doge on car 2. ??? 3. Moon... But I guess its easy to stay positive when you only have 5 bucks invested or have just posted to collect tips. I blew tens of thousands of dollars on Doge. It hurts.I dont have any funds for psychiatric treatment and being pumped full of zombie pills wont help me anyway. There is no solution and I dont deserve to be given one. Since there are a lot of minors on this sub I will stop there. But I do think I am also not the only one. I dont think I can be saved but others might be, so a sticky about it might be a good idea. Anyway if you got down to here thanks for listening. Any kind words would be nice. Goodbye everyone, this is a great community. I hope it can somehow survive even if the coin itself doesnt.-Richard
