You had posted that pic, and you were into bitcoin way back in 1975?
You are a
real OG, toxie moxie.
OK Guys,
Not sure why I feel the desire to tell you guys (and girl) this, I guess after lurking daily for about 18 months, I've tricked my psychie into actually thinking of some of you as friends.
Anyway, after consistently DCA'ing every week for 75+ weeks, I am officially past the "one in 100M" point. Unfortunately, in mid September I became literally one. My beautiful wife, whom I have adored for the last 22 years packed up her basic necessities and announced that we were getting a divorce. No fights, no affairs, no logical explanation. She had already set up a PO Box, a new bank account, and had a little less than ½ of the available funds transferred a couple hours before informing me. As of that morning I was 100% certain that we were in for the long haul, till death did us part. As of that evening I was a broken mess wondering why I was still breathing. I came to the grim resolution that she had not killed me (physically) because she didn't want to live with the guilt. And therefore, because I love her so much, I can't just die and force her to live with it anyway.
I'm broken. But I still got my Bitcoin and I am in the green... so that's nice... I guess.
I am sorry this has happened to you.
Some advice the ½ the money she left you. Needs to be properly secured.
From the glass ½ full at least she left you ½ the money.
I watched my parents divorce and from the kids viewpoint it was painful. If you have kids think about them for now.
god bless you and I hope that when the scar heals you move on to a better life.
I was kind of thinking about this too.... and sometimes it is interesting to see how some of the dynamic plays out, and surely sometimes there are way more emotional and financial ties. that may even seem that they cannot be divided into those categories because they feel that they go "beyond" those two categories.
Surely, I do not want to trivialize what Copetech is going through because the "unexpected" angle is likely greatly traumatic, but also the angle regarding which side is making the decision or if the decision is "mutual" can make a lot of differences in regards to how individuals feel about the break-up (going separate ways).
So back to the bank account situation, it can be interesting that there are no real clues, but both sides have complete access to the account and are able to completely withdraw from the account at any time, so in that regard, there need not be any telegraphing of what is going to happen (if one side has plans to make a BIG withdrawal), but there could be some sense of timing that might coincide with when some income comes in - but no matter, none of these kinds of unilateral decisions are likely to be "fair" - even though some folks might be "more fair" in their ways of dealing with others than others.
I had a relationship that was in the ballpark of 12 years long that had broken up; however, I had been attempting to force the break up for several years prior to the other side finally going through with the break up - and surely we had several business aspects in the relationship, and after the break up, I discovered a lot of signs that the break up had been premeditated for at least 6 months prior because certain preparations were being made - but the evidence of those actual preparations did not become clear to me until after I was able to look into several of the matters and to make the logical connections. One thing that we had jointly was a 13 pound dog, and the dog was about 4 years old, and largely I had possession of the dog and I had spent way more time with the dog and training the dog; however, a few days before the "break-up" message was communicated to me, she had taken the dog, the dog shaver, some dog food and a few dog toys, and I had thought that was a little unusual, and I did not ask, but then when I got the message about the "break-up," I realized that the taking of the dog was for her to make sure that she got the dog, even though I had been spending way more time with the dog, especially in the couple of years immediately prior to the break-up news.
It took us a couple of years to really resolve the various business matters related to the break-up, because there surely was some disputes in regards to joint property - and even that her expectations in communicating the terms of the break up did not go as she had expected at the time that she first communicated the message to me - and her subsequent attempts to reiterate and to stick with the various terms that she had largely unilaterally described in the sentiment of her first break up messages.
Another interesting aspect that is relevant to this thread has to do with bitcoin, and surely there could be ideas about whether all or parts of any bitcoin stash should be considered joint property or separate property, and surely there could be questions regarding "how much bitcoin is there," and also whether such bitcoin stash was accumulated with joint funds (or joint efforts - such as brain power and time) or whether such bitcoin stash was accumulated, maintained and/or liquidated with separate (individual) funds.
So Copetech did not say anything regarding whether the bitcoin were potentially at issue - and surely sometimes partners in a relationship might not be really attempting to figure out any exact measurement of "assets to split" but instead just wanting a somewhat clean and unambiguous split from the relationship in order to be able to move onto what they might have been speculating would be their new future path.
Surely none of it is easy, even though I would think that bitcoin would still fit into either an emotional or financial category that might even overlap with other assets or other emotions that are part of the consideration package - of course, relevant to this thread, too.
One last point for now that we regularly consider in this regards how we might build our BTC stash in such a way that attempts to contemplate future relationships that we might have - and of course, we could have more options with relationships and even things that we are able to do, if we have sufficiently and adequately prepared our BTC stash so that we are able to have a stash in the future without losing it (hopefully) along the way.
