I read this post and felt touched because those days when the Bitcoin price increased to great extent, we also had to face demonetisation in our country. I had invested 2 BTC in one program and all of a sudden, it started falling down to remain only ashes. I was heartbroken to see my 2 BTC gone and price of BTC increasing so high that I could have bought my owned house here in India when BTC hiked. As a result, I felt so painful because I suffered extremely in various ways after that because my earnings almost became zero because many Bitcoin related programs had closed by this time due to extreme hike in the price. Now, the government is also scared to see the increased price and has banned BTC to INR transactions. But, now, after understanding that it seemed to be a hype, I can give another chance to my life forgetting the 2 Bitcoins. So, thanks for sharing, if it was hype that time, then maybe, I do not have to wait for the increase of the BTC price again. The world of money is like this, hypes, and manipulations, but God's Grace remains forever. In so much of pain, God never let me remain hungry. He fed me somehow through friends and family. The manipulation of the world may cease one day, but His Amazing Grace will not cease feeding me and giving me peace.
Too many lost during this period due to not being informed enough, never buy when high, wait for prices to come down. Listen and watch what is happening in the markets, this will not be the first nor the last time something like this happens.
Thank you for sharing @puregrace greedy people do not think about how much they are able to hurt people in regions that are already struggling.
