I just gotta vent. Could help to talk to people that have been through this.
So for years I’ve been telling my wife we need to buy Bitcoin. When it was $20,000 earlier last year or whenever, I remember looking at her and saying “fear is super high, we should buy” and she refused. She made me sell 10% of a Bitcoin at $27k on the way into the deep Bear market instead of just holding. Never allowed us to buy anymore. Around September last year I took all the money I was given for hockey and fantasy football registration and bought whatever I could. It’s nice that I have some, but my average is mid $80’s and things could be so much better. I literally got shit for this and called a degenerate gambler. Ridiculous.
Now, I’ve done my research, my conviction for Bitcoin is strong. Whenever it pumps now, I have a really bad day, because I know I’m right, and I wasn’t allowed to buy more. No one around me understands, they just brush off Bitcoin with shit like “what if it goes to zero tomorrow? What if it disappears a year from now? What is its purpose even?” Then I try to explain and they just don’t want to listen at all. I literally show them the charts. I show them the money already present and the money flowing in literally daily, yet they just don’t get it.
Thankfully she allows me to DCA $20 a day and buy dips now, so it’s something, but I’m beginning to resent everyone around me because none of them understand or get it. I get “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” “diversity into the system, it works, it’s proven, and it’s safe”… yeah until it doesn’t and it isn’t. It blows my mind that they can’t see the opportunity with BTC.
My question to the community is; how do you live with this feeling? I love my wife, I love my mom and dad, but they’re beginning to infuriate me and I’m beginning to feel resent because I know where we could be if people just listened to me… I did my homework, I know I’m right, but nobody wants to sit down and listen and learn. It’s just ridiculous.
Is there anyone out there in this same sort of situation? How do you get by? I hate knowing where we COULD be and that of course, as I knew, I was right…
Edit: I left out the part where I just recovered from 4 years of PTSD due to a mental health injury I suffered after 10 years of being a full time paramedic. The first year off I gambled, I attempted every get rich quick scheme you can think of, and I did it all behind her back. Betrayed everything she trusted in me. So end of the day this is mostly my fault.

10 reminders this is not an advice forum. Just buy your BTC.
1. If you're here, you are already owning BTC or you are BTC curious.
2. If you have come here to ask whether to hold or buy BTC, the answer is simple. Yes. First of all, you are asking the rest of us who already own it and want it to go up, and second, you are asking people who have already done their homework.
3. Do not try to predict future moves or expect others to 'know' what those moves will be, and definitely, definitely don't point to some chart and mouth breathe your way through something like "Bitcoin always goes up in July and fades in the fall."
4. If you believe in BTC, this is not a trade, and it might not even be an investment. It's a sea change, and complete rotation of how value is interpreted and exchanged.
5. If you need to sell some BTC at any point to live, please do. You don't need to tell us.
6. If you have some story about how you were early or could have been early, or wish you were early, trust me, nobody cares. There is only now.
7. If you think you "don't have enough" or have to ask "Do I have enough?" again, nobody knows. See #3. If you can get more, get more. If you can't, then why are you asking?
8. If you are new to BTC, you cannot get everything answered here! We are anon fools on Reddit. But the web is full of information you can use.
9. If you feel the need to brag or taunt non-believers or others who don't agree with your point of view, humility is fantastic, and all arguing will do is ensure fewer people will be buyers, which will keep the price of what you already have ... lower.
10. BTC is not the answer to everything. But it could be the answer to some things. Log off. Touch grass. Stack sats.

Told my Boss in 2017 to get in and start stackin.
Told him any price was a good price to get in. I kept stackin, and he laughed it off then and told me to dump everything.
FF a few years, all of a sudden he keeps asking me if I got in and how big my stash is.
I told him that I dumped everything like he told me to...and winked like a BOSS.
Still don't have enough to say FU and rage quit. Hopefully I can do that in the next 5-10 years.
