NOT sure if serious

And, how would it help you to look at ONLY 6 months of an asset that has been in existence for a little more than 5 years and has more data than merely the past 6 months?    NOT making too much sense to me, at the moment... so please explain..

You are really quite creative with the manner in which you engage in personal attacks... NOW, check out those walls, you temp-bull!!!   

It's too late... My relationship with GB, to the extent we can call it that, has already devolved down the rabbit hole of "ATTACK-MODE."  Get ready GB, and please place your Armour wallet!!!!!!    

In your thinking and wise counsel, What if you miss the bottom by $100 or $200, does that matter?

You can post whatever he fuck you want and you can insinuate regarding my communications whatever the fuck you want....  However, to me it sounds as if you are living in a little fantasy world when you go down the road of getting defensive and attempting to read some conflicting criticism into my comment(s) when I already said more than once that I was only making observations and NOT specifically intending to criticize.. .. but some girls, here, seem to be a little bit delicate if they believe that they are being potentially referred to as a bot... who fucking cares if people think you are a girl or a bot.. it really does not matter.. we are on the internets... you realize that?

I realize that GB is "sensitive."  whatever....we should all be able to handle a little bit of being analyzed without getting all worked up about it.... 

Ultimately, NO real criticism intended from me...So far I am NOT engaging in much if any trading... so my perspective varies... yet, I suppose that I am talking my book to some extent, also... b/c my strategy is mostly buy and hold and buy and hold and buy and etc etc.. .. but I may sell some every once in a while.. but mostly NOT.....

I will also make various short-term predictions, too.. but sometimes I do NOT necessarily want to share my short-term predictions...     

You guys/gals/bots are full of shit and lacking in creative thought if you cannot consider some means upon which to incorporate bitcoin into some kind of investment portfolio. 

Surely, there is risks involved with including bitcoin in such an investment portfolio, especially if BTC were the only asset contained or contemplated in your investment portfolio..

Therefore the incorporation of creativity into your conceptions about investment strategies would allow for scenarios in which BTC were NOT the ONLY asset contained in a person's investment portfolio..

In sum, Think about it and try just a little bit to be a little creative, ... that is if you are NOT merely trolling this thread with those kinds of stupid-ass ideas that are suggesting that BTC is not a good investment.  Get real!!! 

GB: 
For a while, you had seemed to have been on such a bearish streak in your post contents, and in the last few weeks, your post-streak, if there is such a thing, has been noticeably bullish............

Seemingly, funny for me regarding how people like to pump their books around here...

Another style would be to present factual foundations and speculations that are based on such facts and logic.. rather than mere book-talk....

I suppose to each his/her own, and each of us, whether people or bots, have our own style.... and some people have speculated that Shroomie is a bot, given his somewhat consistent style (except for that short deviance he went on when he was trying to get us to dump into the $400s and he apparently bought back in around $500 and has been back to the same old idiot complainer.. thereafter.


Grappa:  I am NOT trying to be a hater... just making an observation regarding some the back and forths that we seem to witness in this thread.

Hilarious!!!!   If BTC prices were even half as hilarious, we would be at $6666 by now... and even $555 is looking good... even $444 would be appreciated... 

That is because you are a BOT... and you need to be reprogrammed in order to understand humor and troll talk and other non-logical whims that seem to prevail in these parts. 

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!  


Whew, that felt good, too.  

I usually do the opposite.       

One man's free time is another man's perception of priorities... Potentially we may have different priorities or different perceptions of priorities.  To suggest that I have more free time sounds a bit patronizing in that context.. .. otherwise. I appreciate your further explanation... about how you consider your investment.. and I also appreciate that some people do NOT necessarily want to take the time to engage in meticulous analysis b/c that is NOT their interest area and they may have beaches to go to and pina colatas to drink.. etc etc.   So in that regard, to each his/her own.

Your survey and or question seems like the lead up for some trolling sob story.. but so be it, that is what you supposedly want to know..

 it is the BIG and interesting question that is on your mind regarding how some people have potentially been scared out of the their BTC investment and how they have NO balls or lack of long-term planning and/or strategy.. and if they pulled out now, they are likely going to be regretting their stupid-ass and rash decision later.   

Your scenario is NOT very clear...

But you are suggesting people who bought at the high in the $1,100 territory selling NOW, but NOT selling on December 17. 

I doubt that there are very many people who meet that narrow category who may have done nothing between then and NOW and just HODLed for 9 months then panicked... sounds a little ridiculous and like you are just trolling or attempting to engage in unnecessary provocative and unproductive drama regarding answers that you could easily figure out yourself with a little bit of attempt at empathizing (by mentally putting yourself in those kinds of shoes).

Surely each of us has his/her own inclinations when it comes to keeping track of financial specifics, and I personally created an excel spreadsheet to keep track of a large number of variables in respect to each BTC that I transact (buy, sell or trade), that way I have a running tally on my price per BTC for each transaction and also overall running average prices per BTC on any particular date.   Surely, if you have acquired some BTC (even a majority of BTC) for zero or NO costs, then that is going to considerably bring down your average cost per BTC.

I am NOT mining, but surely if I were mining, I would add into my excel spreadsheet any costs associated with mining, including electricity costs, and/or machinery and/or accessories costs. 

So far, whenever I have purchased anything with BTC, I have kept track of those purchases within my excel spreadsheet, but I have also engaged in purchasing behavior in order to preserve the size of my BTC holdings (in other words, so far, due to my BTC replacement practice, my BTC purchases have NOT caused my BTC holdings' quantity to go down.. NOT so far).

Your response pretty much reinforces that what I said was a fair response to you.  I believe that you are likely too much focusing on this recent downward trend... as if that is the be all end all for bitcoin.  Surely, BTC prices have gone largely down since end of November beginning of December 2013, yet it seems to have been an otherwise very decent year for bitcoin in terms of spreading around the world and adoption, and infrastructure building and liquidity options and really governments seem to be somewhat less hostile than I had anticipated (I still expect that they are hostile, but less than what I had anticipated going into this year.

The concept of NOT investing more than you can lose has been discussed in various recent threads on this forum.. and surely it can be a bit of a misdirection if it causes people to invest less than what would be a good investment to financially profit when the price does seem inevitable to go up...

So, if you only bought a few BTC, you may NOT profit very well as compared to investing $10 or $20k... and surely each of us has to decide our investment allocations based on our calculations of our personal financial situation, our risk tolerances, our future earning capacity and our own calculations of the probabilities of BTC prices going up or down.


Personally, in the last 9 months, I have increased my BTC holdings considerably, which adds up to a pretty sizeable amount of my investment into BTC, but the total of my apportionment of my BTC holdings still remains at less than 10% of my total quasi-liquid investment assets... Yes I have considered investing higher than 10% into BTC ... but I have some logistical and timing issues.. and just I have concerns about effective and efficient ways to move money out of one investment vehicle into another while accounting for various transaction costs and also considering various tax implications.

Whether I misread your exact details or NOT, I stand my earlier comment regarding the impression that I received from your earlier post, yet ultimately, we need NOT share the same viewpoint or prediction of BTC prices in order to be able to bat around various investment ideas and even communicate our thoughts on what we consider sound ways to move forward in our allocation of resources into BTC directly or into BTC related ventures.

Well, hopefully you will come to realize that BTC is a decent investment before it is too late and  you will be chasing the train b/c you seem to be holding back from investing in BTC  because you seem to believe that the last 9 months are reflective or indicative of what is going to continue to happen with BTC prices in the next 9 months... ..

Anyhow if you do NOT get on board the BTC train, then that remains your choice.. and good luck to you... and hopefully you will have NO regrets with your currently pessimistic state regarding BTC   

So, it sounds as if through the passage of time you made some profits with your BTC, but frequently you cashed out early... Accordingly, frequently, you were NOT very well invested in BTC during various BTC price spikes.

So, currently, what is your approximate BTC holdings and what is your approximate price per BTC... including various administrative/transaction costs??
