Starting back up, lost what I had at Cryptsy
So , about a year ago my wife was diagnosed with stage 3A Hodgkin's lymphoma, I was well involved in cryptos, and had about 4 Bitcoins and various alts that I was turning around on bittrex and hanging onto, building on like all other Cryptogeeks. When the news hit, I panicked and looks for the quickest way to make a large return, at the same time Cryptsy pumping acts like crazy but was having a few issues with their withdraw systems although according to chat ops, everything was fine. So I tried to make a quick return, and long story short; if you are aware of what happened with Cryptsy and bit Vern you can most likely guess what happened, I got burned. Vern did a cash and grab under the guise of hackers took it all... :( I didn't get in on the so called civil lawsuit because I was worried it was just another Cryptsy plot to steal my info... So I gave up, threw in the towel, focused and drained reserves on my wife's health. Happy to say, she beat the cancer and is free of it completely, all following check ups have been phenomenal, we beat it with coughcannabiscough and don't worry we both have our script because of this, I use it for my back issues and she smokes to keep the monster at bay. My friend who originally got me into cryptos hooked me up with another friend recently who has been in since the start as well, and he mentioned steemit. It peaked my interest, I dusted off the video cards and started mining, pulled out the old s1s in hopes of getting a few Psu and free hydro via a friend who has a hydro inclusive apartment. I'm back in the game, still hurt about Paul Vernon that fuckass, but here's to the decentralization of our futures.

Sounds like you had it pretty rough the last few years. Glad to hear you and ur wife got through it all and are staying positive about life :) it really sucks you got burned but no worries, everyone in at this point will make loads of money.. people who actually trade crypto currencies are still less than 1% of the population, so cryptos will still explode for years to come! :)
Hey thanks for the read, it was a bump in the road for sure, I lost my job and got physically attacked on top of it all, lol.. back to work in a better place (welder by trade) and the hematomas have healed up. Excited to be part of it again, have to take the lumps with the gains.. cheers
