THE MARKET GIVETH, AND THE MARKET TAKETH AWAY. THIS IS A HARD LESSON LEARNED BY ONE UNLUCKY AUSSIE BLOKE WHO JUST TASTED THE SEA OF RED IN HIS FIRST WEEK OF CRYPTO-TRADING.
Marvin Williamson, 35, from Newcastle, finally decided to bite the bullet, after almost 18 months of watching and hearing his close mates and work mates talk about trading in the cryptocurrency market.
“Davo was the first one to hop on, and he kept coming to work week after week telling us he was making fat bank” said Marvin
It wasn’t long before his friend David’s boasts convinced others to hop on the crypto train. However, Marvin wasn’t convinced.
“I’m out here busting my balls of 10 hours a day for a wank of a pay check, and bloody Davo the dumba** is rocking up to work in his brand new BMW three months into his trading”.

“Davo’s always got this f*cking smug look on his face, like he’s better than everyone else” claimed Marvin.
But it wasn’t only David profiting from the cryptocurrency market, it was everyone in Marvin’s social circle, apart from Marvin himself.
However that all changed one day…
Marvin claims that things got so tense at work between himself and the other workers, that he had even contemplated clipping them all off one by one and making it look like worksite accidents.
“You end up in a really dark place after a while” said Marvin.
“You end up thinking about stupid-crazy scenarios like ‘Would this brick kill Davo if I dropped it on his head from the story above?'”
“It’s just stuff you shouldn’t be thinking about when at work with your mates” he finished explaining.
It was only last week when Marvin realised he may be setting himself up for a trip to the can for 25 years to life, that he decided to invest his first $1000 into crypto currency.
“I threw $500 at that Bitcoin one, and then was told to throw the other $500 on some Tron one or something” he explained.
Let’s just say Marvin and Dave don’t really speak anymore.
“Oi yeah, nah fck the cnt” said Marvin, after explaining that he had lost $370 on his $1000 AUD investment, since being persuaded by David to invest in Bitcoin and Tron.
“Seriously mate, the bloke comes in here all smiles and new cars for the last year and a half, and the moment I invest, I lose 1/5th of my f*cking pay check” he went on furiously to say.
Since interviewing Marvin yesterday, we’ve been in touch with him and he claims he’s down another $130 on top of the $370 he had already lost. It is now believed that Marvin is looking for a new worksite and workmates.
David, Marvin’s former friend, was interviewed by us over the phone this morning and claims that “Marvin is a simpleton, who doesn’t understand the fundamental basics of a market, especially one as speculative as this one”. It is believed the two do not speak anymore.
