I find it fascinating that people take at face value the words of a throwaway account who is quite likely making the whole thing up, given that you'd want wealth of 100m to just shrug off 250k like that. (Based on the fact that someone worth 100k can just about shrug off 250 like its nothing).
- wisty 13y agoThey claim to be a miner. If I made (say) 1m, then lost 250k of it (due to risks which I was aware of when I started playing the game), I'd still be pretty happy. I think they are just chalking it up to a cost of doing business. If they lost 250k which they'd made from a different source, they'd be more upset. As no doubt may people are right now. I'm not sure if it's rational. But ... that's the way people often respond.
- eterm 13y agoGiven that most miners have been operating at a loss (after power, space, hardware, etc) for quite some time, I'd also take that statement with a pinch of salt.
- psykovsky 13y agoDude, I'm poor has hell and I'm not crying about the €30k I lost there. And those 30k are several multiples of what I got left with. Not everybody commits suicide for losing money, you know...
