Maybe you will stop posting in this thread?   

Well, we've already had a little back and forth in respect to some of the government-related discussions, so surely such a topic could come up again... if we were to choose to engage.

But regarding your hodl strategy.   Your registration date for this forum account is March 2013.    That's a long time to hodl?  Would you also accumulate a bit more BTC, or does your personal financial or cashflow situation make accumulation of more BTC less than practicable.

For example, with me, through my two years of accumulating bitcoin, I have been buying with whatever spare fiat that I have and even allocating a budget and a plan for how much BTC I am authorizing myself to buy for any given planned period.

I only recently started trading (since about October, when the price crossed over $250 for about the 5th time)... and trading has certainly opened up some new perspectives for me.... even though I started plotting out some of my trading plans in August and September  (and initially allocating about less 1% of my total BTC holdings for trading, and then as the BTC price continued to rise, my allocation percentage of BTC trading continued to rise too (but probably still quite less than 10% of my total BTC holdings). 

The actual application of the trading  plans (rather than the theory) have caused me to have to tweak my practices quite a bit and even figure out some strategies for considering making my practice comfortable for me and my situation.

Anyhow, I am just thinking that many long term hodlers are also accumulating additional BTC at certain price points, at minimum.

Yep...  thanks for providing further evidence to support my earlier point.   

Only goofballs possess an irresistible urge to brag about stupid shit including their stupid ass BTC price movement predictions, as if they are some kind of "prophet."  Get a life... oh, sorry, I forgot that you feel better if you were to receive some kind of direct recognition ...

good job, Fisheater22, you are so wonderful!!!!! 






















































 


NOT

Did you misspeak, ED?   

how could any of us be "cheering from the sidelines" if we have been involved in this Bitcointalk forum thread for more than a few months? 

Don't tell me that jorge took over your account for you to have devolved into an "academic interest in bitcoin?"   

Adam... hahahahahahahahaha         


I think that I kind of understand what you are saying; however, your sentiment is getting a little bit more difficult to detect, especially since you seem to have been recently employing various and/or strategically placed reverse psychology posts.  maybe insert bald headed hair pulling gif here to represent my current state of being.   

You are a fucking goofball, and each of your posts bring further supporting evidence of such a reasonable conclusion.

 

It is very difficult exactly to determine where we are at, while we are in it, and surely perspective regarding where we are "at" will depend on your view of the future of BTC.... to me, it kind of seems that on that particular diagram, we could be in the early "media attention" stage, approximately.

That exchange just seems to be too fucked.  They seem to have too many instances of "incidents," especially as soon as volume and/or volatility picks up, right when you need them to have a solid platform.

Don't get correlation and causation mixed up. 

There may be some contribution of Chinese exchanges to BTC's price movements, but really overall Chinese exchanges are lacking a certain level of credibility to be true drivers of BTC prices in any kind of meaningful way.

Yes.  I agree that there is likely going to be future volatility.  Otherwise your apparent characterization of BTC prices being in a perilous place seems to be a bit out of touch with the real current state of bitcoin... which is generally volatile, but in a pretty decent position... especially after a recent (within the past 3 months) approximate 100% appreciation in value... NOT bad...

       

GET a GRIP!!!!


These are not exactly perilous times for BTC  and its prices. 

Priced have been in the supra $400 territories for nearly 2 weeks, and that is not a bad thing for those who are contemplating continued good future price performance for BTC.

Yes, it is possible that BTC prices may go below $400 again within the coming weeks or later down the road, but certainly those of us optimistic about the future of BTC are not in a bad place at the moment, if you consider the past two years and even if you consider the past 5 years in light of a lot of the recent developments around BTC and the current public sentiments.

Oh shit.  hold on boys and girl!!!!!  less than $400, here we come.   It's the reverse Adam indicator, which is as reliable an indicator as they come, unless he's attempting some reverse psychology.        

Yes, you can deny 1 and 2, but the substance of your posts speak for themselves.. in that you are either incapable of explaining yourself at best or full of shit under worse interpretation.

Yes, from time to time, it can be unpleasant and maybe even a bit uncomfortable to engage in an actual substantive and meaningful discussion with another person on a quasi-anonymous forum rather than employing personal attacks... and then running away.

hopefully, somehow your failure/refusal to engage with me regarding your prior assertions will either find you some solace or improve your abilities in the future to present your opinions, facts and/or arguments with a bit more coherence, but I must admit, I have a few doubts about your emotional stability, especially since you seem a bit less than capable in accepting a bit of a challenge to your presentation of information... you may be a bit too used to mommie pampering you?

Agreed.... 


Do it Adam!!!!!   Do it, do it, do it!!!!!     

I don't understand the purpose of your lame attempt at an ad hominem attack.


Part of my earlier point was to attempt to get you to respond to your stupid ass internally contradictory position. 

On the one hand, you  seem to be saying that you wuv u sum bitcoin, and you want bitcoin to succeed.  On the other hand you are picking apart and emphasizing conspiracies suggesting that bitcoin is bound for failure due to Chinese manipulation  - and at the same time conceding that you sold nearly all your bitcoins at $450 because you be hopen dat bitcoin be goin down a bit so u can pik up a few moar.....

What da fug!!!!!!    you need to be a bit more consistent no?  you seem to wanna have your cake and eat it to, and you merely coming off as desperate, inconsistent and probably oversold.       

You are coming off as a conspiratory-ridden troller, and really not someone who wants to engage in any kind of meaningful way regarding bitcoin.

If you really sold most of your coins at $450, like you said, and you do not believe in bitcoin, then get the fuck out of here and take your profits and invest in something more secure, in your opinion.

It seems to me that if you have to talk your book like that in this thread - especially pushing for a downward BTC price direction, either you are merely trolling or hoping to get attention or you have oversold your BTC holdings and are too emotionally invested in the direction of your own BTC holdings.

As you likely realize, a large majority of posters on this forum are heavily invested in fiat in a large number of ways, including probably their income (or their incoming cashflow) and maybe other investments that they may have made over the years.   That's just the way of the world and our current state of affairs of the fiat dominated systems that currently we are in.

 Accordingly, many participants in this forum (except the trolls) recognize bitcoin as a potential viable way forward that has considerable potential for upward price appreciation.  Therefore, our goals should coincide with accumulation of BTC based on assumptions of upward BTC price appreciation... and if we have been involved in bitcoin for at least a year, we should recognize that currently we are mostly in a bull market in the BTC world and it is safer to trade with that bull market in mind... and if we sell any portion of our BTC holdings to be cautious not to sell too much btc in order that we get too stressed out about and praying for BTC prices to crash.

Actually, there are a considerable number of BTC investors who become too nervous to sell any BTC once it appears to be a bull market and stick with tried and true approaches of hodl, which may or may not be a bad idea - yet each person has to assess his/her own situation to decide what's gonna work for him/her.

Anyhow, in the end, you can trade BTC how you best see fit, and if you feel good taking chances on the possibility of a downward crash in BTC prices, then that's your prerogative.

If you just want action, then why do you want a crash?  have you failed to buy in for the past  year-ish?


or you just hating on bitcoin?

We could equally experience excitement, if the price were to crash upwardly.  no?

By the way, the current pump, looks kind of nice, from my angle.

Seems a fair conclusion that we have transitioned out of a bear mark maybe sometime after crossing $350  - even though we did experience a retrace of BTC prices that hovered mostly in the $320 arena for nearly two weeks... but once prices could not be driven below $320 in any meaningful and sustained way, that $320 resistance seemed to confirm that the transition out of the bear market ad been completed...

Will we return to a bear market any time in the near future? Well that's another story.....

For the time being, BTC engines surely do seemed revved towards going upwardly.

Currently, I'm thinking that we are not going to see sub $350 no more, but... i've kind of lost some of my swagger.. because of my being wrong so many times in the past.
