Title: I made this "ignore the FUD" poster and I didn't listen to my own advice :'(
Post by: frankbitcoin on November 13, 2017, 03:02:43 PM
I released this new piece of artwork a few days ago, "Ignore the FUD" - https://lynxartcollection.com/cryptocurrency/ignore-the-fud-bitcoin-artwork-art-print-limited-to-100-signed-and-numbered

Now I'm sad because I didn't listen to my own advice.

Got panicky that the attack on Bitcoin was real and that it would go to $1K.  *facepalm*

Sold Bitcoin, bought Bitcoin Cash at the complete wrong time (the top, like they wanted), sold that at the bottom for a loss.  Bought back into Bitcoin today and I'm missing half of what I had.  Deeply saddened by this.  But a major lesson was learned.  Bitcoin Core is where it's at and I will no longer be fooled or manipulated into giving away my Bitcoin.

*sigh*

Anyway - hopefully you guys enjoy the artwork.  And if you'd like to pick one up it would of course help my current situation  8)

I totally would have bought it, it's a nice piece of work.

But I'm really of a mind to teach sheep a lesson. If you get compensated for your stupidity, you won't have learned your lesson. Therefore, sorry mate.

eh, not really a sheep.  I do plenty of reading and research.  problem is there's two sides to this and it's very hard to see clearly through it all.  I got into Bitcoin back in June.  Since then, I've read on it and watched just about every video I can (including every single interview with Andreas).  Just made a silly mistake.

I love the artwork! And I've done this several times as well :-) The temptation to listen to loud voices is always big...

thank you! :)  yes, it is.  it's difficult because everyone has their own opinion on all of it, as well.

It feels kinda shatty hodling through this stuff like that too because of what ifs..
Even though I held and lost a bit you remind me I could have done much worse..

yeah, exactly.  I was looking at it like well, what if bitcoin IS going to collapse?  even though I knew it was a coordinated attack.  ::)
