Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Will I be the first? Its been about a month since I lost all my coins, which was all my savings, and only income. I can no longer afford to live.

Anything you want to disclose before you depart?

Charlie,

I've used your service to buy ~10K USD in bitcoins over the last couple of months. I was just wondering if your process is going to change once Mt.Gox US goes to Coinlab? As in any reportings to Government/IRS. My question is aimed mostly towards cashing out, since I believe your service can move Mt.Gox cash/codes to Paypal. Which I can then pull out at an atm or use as fiat.

Is you are serious, Page 52-80  of The Peacefull Pill e Handbook(2012),
That link/torrent also has many other useful methods/tips.
If you do attempt suicide, DO NOT FAIL.
Nothing more embarrassing then failing to fail,
on the other hand at least you would be alive to feel shame.

If you are not serious, stop crying like a little b.

The old saying put up or shut up applies here.

There was a time when I had 200+ Bitcoins. Could have bought way more back in February '13. 'bout half a year later I lost $650,000.

80 coins is nothing. Not worth your life. Shit happens and I am still around.

Please dont do anything drastic right now. I have been through the wringer myself.

Back in the early 90s I ended up living on the streets in the bay area. I got my act together, got a basic job at a pizza joint, bought a 10 yr old BMW, got a computer with AOL, met some wonderful women online (hey now!) and got into reggae music. I started my own record label, signed some top names, made lots of $$$ over the next 7 years, I dominated the MP3.com reggae charts for 3 years in a row, had the best GF in the world, traveled the world and then some, won some music awards too. It all came crashing down on me in 2001. My GF was raped by her doctor and I lost some friends in 9/11. I closed everything up. I hit rock bottom. I really dont think you could get lower then were I was. 80 coins is nothing man. Nothing in comparison with losing friends, nothing in comparison to hearing what happened to your GF over the phone and not being able to immediately do something about it or to comfort her. Please put those coins into context with mine and other peoples life tragedies.

I broke up with the GF. I started traveling on my own and have met wonderful lifelong friends. If youve never traveled it is an awesome experience. I met my future wife in Italy. She is beautiful inside and out. Ive been all around europe 20+ times. Ive met my relatives on my dads side for the first time last year (my dad is from europe). I got into Ubuntu linux operating system and enjoy it. Ive met great people at conventions and online. I got into bitcoins and have been to several conferences now and have met great people, lifelong friends now.

We are on this big massive rock filled with all sorts of animals and life and machines and inventions and we are circling a big huge sun along with 8 other planets doing the same thing and or solar system is just a dot in our milky way galaxy which is just a dot in the known universe. This existence is AWESOME and AMAZING! With all the good times and bad times I regret nothing and look forward to whatever is ahead of me. You will have new experiences and new bitcoins and new friends.

DO NOT GIVE UP. It gets better.

Please email me if you feel the need. Hang in there man!

OP, don't even entertain the thought.

Take a walk. Walk across America or something! Do something besides sitting around and thinking about this temporary situation.

Regardless of how much value you place on your life right now you need to see the value of living.

I understand that it must sting like a motherfucker. And if you're anything like me, you may never get the chance to save up that much cash ever again.

But... would I kill myself because of that? Never. I have responsibilities.. people that depend on me, people that care that I stay alive. I have MEANING in my life. Cash doesn't give me meaning.. sure, it opens up more possibilities.. but meaning? No. Volunteer work is meaningful. Caring for my family is meaningful. And that's why I stay alive.

If you don't have a meaningful life.. maybe you should do something about that. And it doesn't require a single dime.

I seriously doubt you are worth less than what you have lost.

Would love to hear from you...

man just call 911 and get the police to take you to a psych ward for suicide watch then claim disability and get SSI because you hear voices in your head telling you to kill yourself.

Unfortunately the emergency services tend to be quite useless with people merely feeling suicidal - they MIGHT respond well to an actual attempt, but for mere suicidal ideation (the medical term for "thinking about suicide and thinking it's a good idea") you're better off going straight to a psych.

Not to mention most people who are suicidal do not have "voices in their head" but rather a severe lack of serotonin triggered through a random biochemical glitch or from a life event - or for the truly unlucky both (for example, someone with bipolar who has a bad life event).

The nasty part about depression is it hijacks self-esteem and makes the victim believe that nobody will care (it's a common pattern to see people claim they're doing their friends and family a favour by removing themselves from the situation), when in reality most people have SOMEONE who does care and would be hurt - which is why the best approach is always to encourage people who talk about suicide to talk to their friends and family in person.

Of course some threats are just attention seeking or even plain old trolling, but from personal experience it's best to assume the threat is real and encourage people to seek help - i'd rather be fooled by a few trolls than see someone die who could have been saved, especially as i've had friends who took their own life after people thought they were joking.

For free ass kicking/tasing/bullet in the head call 911...

I think a lot of us would be interested in your background, where you from, what you studied ...

BTW, if you know bitcoins, you are probably teksavvy and logical... those are character traits that can easily get you a job.

Also, you have not replied to your thread in a while, REPLY !!!

Dont do anything that you would regret and think about the people around you.

Pretty much this. I am sorry for your loss, but if this is a serious thread, don't do anything stupid.

Seriously, as quoted, think of your friends and family !
There are always ways around complicated situations.


Sorry, but
I think the 1st suicide will be a dogecoiner.

such delusion, very overdose, wow, much self-destruction.

This is hilarious !!!
+1 on that.

OP don't take this directly but Americans/westerners (which I take it you are) are friggin spoiled, myself included. It's all about perspective. When I'm feeling down it's terrible to admit it but something that makes me feel better (human nature), or it's better to say not so bad, is remembering those so much worse off. For Americans there are a lot. There was that man in Greece who suffering from their financial pressure set himself on fire.

In North Korea, where there is no Internet, 80 people were recently executed for infractions like watching porn and western movies. I remember stories before the financial crises of rampant food inflation causing exacerbated starvation globally, with people in some places making mud cakes - trying to get some nutrition from literally eating dirt.

In that context it's hard to feel sympathetic when you say you can't afford to live. Al Jazerra covered Sean's Outpost finding 3 homeless guys that, using bitcoin, began doing online tasks and soon moved into a house. There is so much opportunity with Bitcoin it's unbelievable. The fact that you're an English speaking, I assume male, puts you ahead of so many out the gate. Being Internet savvy and especially involved with Bitcoin puts you in a further minority percent. So you fell down a bit, big deal. Do you know how many would literally die (and sometimes do) to be in your shoes? It's all about perspective.

Don't do it! You'll make back more than you lost, it just will take some drive.

Also, don't come to bitcointalk when you're feeling down... probably the worst place to be.

Instead of blow, maybe LSD?

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. That's like handing a child a can of gasoline and a lit flare. The last thing you want to be when under the influence of LSD is to be struggling with any sort of emotional or psychological imbalance... holy crap why on earth would you suggest that?

What he said, people with mental health problems need doctors, not recreational drugs.

If I was suicidal, I was disappear in Mexico, do blow and hookers then decide. Suicide can wait and it's always an option.

This is actually the best advice so far... Just go have fun and see what happens. One day at a time. Etc.

+1. There's actually a strong correlation to your brain chemistry, and nothing changes that faster than alittle blow. Maybe blow some steam off, then reassess your life. Try focusing on anything or any one you enjoy or like, or perhaps love?

definitely, like someone else said, a perm solution for a temp problem. Not a good idea...

hyphymikey - I lost over 7500 coins recently, don't sweat it... things may look bad now but EVERYTHING happens for a reason! Remember, YOU have the ability to turn this around from a negative into a positive, good luck and i hope everything works out.

J

7,500 coins?Huh ouch.  theft or an error or what?  might be a good lesson for others to learn from in there somewhere if you don't mind sharing.  Nice to see your positive attitude though!

I believe this might be the famous Mr. Landfill.

If so he is a better man than me. Respect.
