Bitcoin is, without a doubt, a touchy subject with many people. They've heard all the bad press: Silk Road; Drugs; Crime; Funding Terrorism; Exchange Collapses; and this has likely drowned out any positive press Bitcoin has received (which is in all honesty, mainstream media speaking, none). People involved in the crypto-community have digressed that in some ways they now feel a bit ostracized from social circles and family units due to their involvement in this emerging field.
Bitcoin and Cryptos for many has changed their body clock. They feel the need to handle their crypto related work late at night when all is quiet and others are asleep.
Bitcoin has for a lucky few brought them vast riches. For others moderate gains. And others have been wiped out. Whether it be due to losses in trading Alt-Coins and all the scams and scandals that took place last year; gambling losses on dice-sites, or simply bad timing with entry/exit points; it can't be argued that Crypto's have in fact ruined peoples finances.
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly... what has been your experience. Not simply financially. How has your life changed on all levels. Spiritually; your sense of well being. Your self-esteem, and your relationships with family, and friends as well as co-workers. And yes, last but not least, financially.
Are you better of now than you were Pre-Bitcoin? Or do you wish you had never gotten involved? Perhaps simply taken another road and pursued other endeavors?

DISCLOSURE: I have chosen to keep this topic moderated. While I typically do not feel moderated topics promote the open type of community, freedom of speech, and anti-censorship so many of this board's members believe in; I feel this could be a touchy subject. And simply want to make sure we stay on topic, respectful, and most importantly honest. i hope you will chose to share your story.
