The post reads: 几天前(2017/12/05)，一篇在reddit上超过8000 upvotes的文章，震惊了不少人 这篇文章说道: I don't really know where to post this but I feel like I need to vent. Do not take this as criticism of Bitcoin, blockchain technology, or cryptocurrency users & developers, it's not. 我真的不知道在哪里发表，但我觉得我需要找个地方发泄。 不要对比特币、区块链技术或者加密货币的用户和开发者批评， 因为事实并非如此。 There are probably other factors that led to my brother's suicide, but he had been beating himself up over Bitcoin for the past several years to the point where he seemed constantly depressed over it and gradually became a shadow of his former happy self. 可能还有其他一些因素导致了我兄弟的自杀，但是在过去的几年里，他一直因为比特币而 不断地感到沮丧 He claimed to have owned 15,000 at one point, which may have been an exaggeration. But I know for a fact that at some point around October-November 2012 he did have at least 6,000 BTC which he showed me in his wallets. He was so enthusiastic about Bitcoin and how cryptocurrencies would revolutionize the financial world. For awhile he was annoying the fuck out of our relatives about how it would make them millionaires. 他声称他曾经拥有15000个BTC，虽然这可能不是确实的数字 但是我看过他的钱包，确实有至少6000个BTC 他对比特币充满了乐情，认为数位加密货币技术将会改变全世界的金融产业 I'm not sure exactly what happened to his BTC. Sometime in 2013 he claimed to have lost most of them in a hack and sold the remainder too early. He very well may have sold them all too early, but who knows. 我不确定他的BTC发生了什麽事。 在2013年的某个时候，他说他大部分的BTC被骇客盗走了， 其他的部分因为时间太早，他有可能在以前卖掉了，但我也不知道真实的情况 As the price took off in late 2013-early 2014 you could tell he was distraught over it and became increasingly withdrawn from family and friends. Whenever I did manage to contact him he would sometimes end up ranting about how badly he had fucked up and how he would never have a chance to be rich again. 随着比特币的价格在2013年底到2014年初的大涨， 他开始远离了他的家人和朋友。 每当我设法与他联系，他有的时候会咆哮说他自己是多麽的糟糕， 他因为那件事情(BTC被盗走) 所以失去了发财的机会。 As the price climbed up to 10k over the past several months it became even more difficult to make contact with him, he just wouldn't reply to me or my parents calls and texts. A couple weeks ago my parents flew out to see my brother and found him dead by suicide with no note. He was 29 with 50 years of life ahead of him. 过去几个月，比特币的价格攀升到10K USD， 我越来越没办法成功联络到他，他都不回复我或他家人的电话和简讯。 在几个星期前，我的父母飞出去找我的兄弟，发现他自杀死亡，并且没有留下任何的遗书 当年他29岁，应该还能够再活个50年。 Other than obvious grief I don't really know how to feel about this. If I had missed out on $50M I might have killed myself too. I can't imagine what my brother must have been feeling these past several years knowing he missed his best & easiest shot at the wealthy life he had always fantasized about. Bitcoin totally fucked up his mindset to the point where you couldn't talk about anything related to investing, money or finances without him storming off or crying. 除了悲伤之外，我真的不知道如何去感受与面对这个情况。 如果我错过了五千万美元，我也可能自杀。 我无法想像我的兄弟在过去的几年中，一定常常想到他错过了成为富豪的机会 因为承受了如此严重的打击。完全搞砸了他正常的思想。 If there's any more of you in a similar situation feel free to PM me. Please try to recognize there are endless economic opportunities in life and 1 mistake doesn't define your future. There are family and friends who care about you and will listen. 如果这里有人也发生类似的情况，请随时PM(发私讯)给我。 人生中有无限的机会，一个错误并不能代表你的人生未来将再也没有希望。 世界上还有很多家人和朋友关心着你。 The mention of "sometime in 2013" has many speculating this girl's brother was a victim of the MtGox exchange collapse. 文中提到的"2013年的某个时候" 很多人猜测这个女孩的兄弟可能是MtGox交易所遭骇导致钜额损失的受害者。 -- 1.你不管後半辈子再怎麽努力，都比不上你投胎那一次的努力 @qxxrbull 2.努力用功一辈子，不如你爸妈给你一栋北市的房子 3.你工作一年连100万都赚不到，人家买个1200张中华票券摆一年就有100万 4.要从没钱变有钱很困难，要从有钱变更有钱很简单 5.法律规定不能教唆他人自杀，因为当所有穷人都自杀了，有钱人也没办法一直有钱了 6.自杀前记得用尽你的能力贷款，在选择权结算日前全梭一边，这是你死前翻身的机会 --
