Even if it is a very elaborate troll, it doesn't mean that there aren't real marriages being ruined by bitcoin.

Case in point:  BitChick.

Weren't they in it together, though? I'd say adam would be a better example: you can tell his wife probably didn't want anything to do with this shit.

Sorta.   If I remember right, she went to spread The Good News in India, and, while she was gone, hubby sold off most of the coin.  When she got bored of slumming it in India her Good Works were done & she returned, she bought those coins back @270 because something about dogs & vomit.  Marital tensions ensued.

From the 266 spike until the 1k spike, they were definitely supportive of each other. I guess the bitcoin price rollercoaster created an emotional rollercoaster in their marriage, and I'd bet pounds to peanuts their marriage is far from the only one to suffer in this manner.
