I think Fluffypony is a pretentious pompous ass,

Hey qwizzie....I think it's time we all ignore these guys. There are really only a couple of Montero trolls that we have a good idea who they are.  We've been discussing this indepth in a private chat room for a while now.   Its been a multi pronged attack vectors....with concentration being pointed towards community disruption.  I'll try to fill in more later ...but it's not going to get us anywhere publicly conversing with any of them and their personas.

Ultimately, I agree that you need to tailorize a strategy that is comfortable for you and attempt to learn from that strategy, and perhaps bitcoin does have some differences from traditional kinds of investments, but my personal approach has been to attempt to employ strategies that are similar to what I had been using in my traditional investing - such as dollar cost averaging; however, some differences that I have found with bitcoin has been the 24/7 access and really various abilities to really make micro-trades with little to no fees that have caused me to develop some additional and what I would characterize as complementary strategies that make dollar cost averaging one of three legs - rather than the previous primary leg.

Sure there are some other strategies too, that carry through, which are things like managing your cash flow so that you are not overinvesting and living within your means, and then just having various targets.  

So yeah, part of the anal aspect of creating targets and plans and revising plans ends up having some kind of decent approximation of your various costs and establishing various means to verify whether your wealth is growing from the strategy including figuring out how much certain actions might be costing you which could also affect short term plans about how to cover some of those extra costs or to roll them into your overall expenses to help to figure out your next moves and set ups and what thresholds are going to trigger the next moves.

One issue that I have with any strategy that attempts to identify tops and bottoms is that it seems to require too much attempt to rely on a large quantity of inference (from missing information) and too much necessity to try to figure out the meaning and weight of various pieces of information including game theory movs of other people that I don't know and who could be motivated by factors way beyond my ability to understand.  Yeah, of course there are macro-tools, too, but I would just rather NOT be attempt to place too much emphasis on attempting to predict price direction as long as I have established a plan for either price direction, then I consider that approach to be way less stressful for myself and just inline with my past practice and what seems to be my personality preferences.

So, my question for you, afbitcoins, includes whether you believe that your system is working for you and are you learning and tweaking your system, and are you really prepared for either up or down?  Perhaps you have learned a bit from some of your prior experiences to just HODL some portion of your coins.. whether it is 25% or some other amount that you believe to be reasonable, but instead it seems that you are inclined to "play" with nearly the whole amount of your stash and attempt to predict price directions?   I do understand that sometimes you can win pretty BIG with that strategy, but still seems really difficult to either predict tops or bottoms or to get anywhere near close to predicting without suffering quite a few opportunity costs by being too much out when you want to be in or too much in when you want to be out .. and in that regard, to me, there just seems to be too much stress that is beyond my own tolerance(s).  How do you deal with all of that?  You get pleasure out of making BIG plays, rather than attempting some form of incrementalism?

I would be very interested in the underlaying formulas to determine the "fair" price. I totally agree that DASH is undervalued right now but I am always very critical for something like that in general. Why BCH is valued that high compared to Bitcoin is just random. And they are proposing many random coins quite high which most of them are not even delivering a network

why so much attention of the broad masses to this project? Explain, please. Nothing special, honestly, I do not see in this one "Dash".

That appears to be a flaw in the strategy of using Dash for remittances to VZ. If the expatriots don't have money to send, it doesn't matter very much if we can help save them money doing it.

The strategy seems to me to be to build a Dash community in VZ that will not ever cash out, so it will become a way to soak up liquidity and make it less likely that price will dump and make pumps more dramatic. The problem comes in that VZ is by most metrics a net consumer of wealth, not a producer, which means that most of that dash will eventually be cashed out as Venezuelans buy imports to survive.

Is there reason to believe Venezuela is becoming a net producer of wealth again? If so what is that reason?

Am I missing something? This is a real question and not concern-trolling.

I started at an average cost per BTC around $1,200 in late 2013, but that did not last long because as we know the price continued to drop for about a year and then get stuck in a low point of mid $200s for nearly another year, so buying as the price came down brought down my average cost per BTC to about $500 by early 2017.  In early 2017, I had some phone porting hacker issues when the BTC prices were in the $1,100 arena which caused my cost per BTC to rise to over $700 (due to losses)..... ..

I guess that my point is even if any of us BTC HODLers have some screw ups along the way that bring up our average cost per BTC, just from being in BTC for so long and striving towards BTC accumulation we still are likely sitting fairly pretty from the great BTC price appreciation.... even if we may not have received the full value of that two year long BTC price appreciation that started from $250 in mid to late 2015.  

I understand that there are also some BTC HODLers that might be in the $2k to $5k per BTC costs, and even they are not in a bad place with current BTC price dynamics and the threats that the price might go lower.. (but it might not, also... hahahaha)

The HODLers who are in the red, right now (might have average costs per BTC in the $8k to $19k range, but it really seems a lack of commitment to BTC if anyone has not been able to bring down their cost per BTC during the last more than 6 months), probably need to HODL and continue to buy BTC to continue to attempt to bring down their average cost per BTC, and it seems quite likely that just a few years down the road and perhaps as long as 5-10 years they are quite likely to experience decent price appreciation that outcompetes various traditional investments (no guarantee of course, but strategy and plan can help to increase the odds of HODLers and their position in the upcoming world that is likely to include more BTC awareness into the future).

I also find annoying flat earth forums like this one.
All this discussion between me and qwizzie should reside in a thread.
So you could read only the first message, and ignore the rest ones.

Part of my campaign's goal is this, to turn the dash forums to threaded ones.


Watch my youtube video  here , NOW!

Hey, listen. I agree that these Krip phones look promising, as does the market apparently, but it doesn't answer my question. What in our overburdened treasury are we going to give up in order to get them?

Wonder how it feels to now people who have bought Dash in the beginning of the project? Now it is a very profitable business.

It's not just trolls and haterz. Nobody using the official forums can discuss unpleasant subjects without the risk of censorship.  So thank the repressive moderators there that this thread gets so much use.

I wonder if Adam_White is one of those banned users that demo gave his password to. Adam, are you in there somewhere ? Can we talk to you ?
Damn, where is my ouija board when i need it.

I wonder how the mods in here feel about you lending your password of your demo16 account to other anynomous and banned users and use your dynamic ip addresses to confuse those moderators... oh well, i'm sure thats not against the rules of this forum .. no need to worry about it i guess.

I speak only for myself, thats why I edited my message and changed "our mission" to "my mission"

It is very practical for many reasons, many people to use a single account. I can sign my messages with the private key of my cryptocurrency wallet, in case I want the people who dont know me to recognise me. But I rarely need to sign.  In the forums I talk, people recognise the way I talk, they recognize me even in case too many of us speak through the same account. I mean, who else can fix the bugs I fix?

I've analysed the posting style of 'demo15'.

- Highlights certain key parts in large font using different colour.
- Turns up daily to repost the same post again trying to bump it up to the top of the thread
- Quick to respond to any disagreement
- Tries to hold the moral highground while actually trolling.

=Now lets look at 'iCEBREAKER'
