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.
