In some way, especially if you are holding a good coin, holding is for a long term big income while trading is such a daily income.

I don't think that it's a good solution giving our trades to Bots, what can we learn if instant using Bots? do have income, but as traders they prefer manual over their assets to trade on their own. I am not a day trader or even a short term trader. Because having free time just trading it will consume my offline working time.

I think it depends on the trader, even a few part-time traders can be profitable and have a sustainable income. Indeed, for us the choice of holding is not to be on the market for hours on end. So day trading traders interact more with the market and price movements. Not even a few of them deliberately learn specifically just to master trading in trading.

Dear diary,

today two coiners revealed themselves among my friends/ex co-workers. The friend was my former boss, the co-worker his secretary.
The boss proudly told me, he's in "crypto" now, a fantastic thing. He was showing me his trading app and portfolio (what a noob, held only shitcoins), and said his secretary is his crypto-consultant. The secretaries base currency was ETH, he is into Defi as well. I wondered why the fuck he didn't invest in NFT already, but trying to sell a shitcoin that goes to zero is about as non fungible as a JPG of a rock, i heard myself thinking.
I said: Bitcoin? They said: Nah, man. No big gains here anymore. We sell a coin when it's over 150% profit and look for the next (shitcoin) to invest in.
So i asked about the taxes, and they said: Nobody cares. I wish they would know what they think "centralized" and KYC in terms of exchanges really means, but they seemed so obsessed about their "crypto gains", i didn't want to interfere in that moment.

The portfolio of the boss was down about 50% from its recent top. I didn't see or hear anything detailed about the secretary's portfolio, neither do i know how long he already was in "crypto" before.

So it's this time of the year again. I'm beginning to doubt my beliefs about S-curve adoption and should start thinking about liquidation target prices for a part of my stash. The next bear market is coming, and a big retail FOMO move to this cycle's top should lead it. It felt like 2017 all over again, but this time i will take some dollars to buy the 2023 bottom again.

True story. Omitted many details in favor of OpSec.

Speaking of missing past regular posters in the Wob...
Where are they now?
My unofficial partial list of wo bro legends who have gone bye bye (for at least a few months anyway, to my knowledge)...

JBreher...  eloquent and JJG didn't like him. And that's an understatement. Me? I just loved that bear at the picnic table waiting for a treat.
Gentlemand... my favorite wo bro, and I really miss his hilarious comments.
Hairy Mclairy ... I think he just got tired of this place.
V8....  Kept me abreast of the latest and greatest memes.
Ibian....  Maybe he had a boating accident, but whatever, I don't miss him, though I will confess to reading all his posts.  Occasionally I'd flame him, because why not?
Roach....Fuck him. The thread moved up a notch in respectability when that asshole left. Good riddance

One of the weird things about being a regular here and participating in this never ending thread anonymously over the years
is that one is never sure what happens to regular posters when they suddenly go AWOL.
Occasionally one finds out that someone passed on the forum, but to my knowledge I haven't heard of any past wo bro regulars
actually going to the great bitcoin playground in the sky. (maybe others have, idk, I'm not in that loop)
I certainly hope that they rather they just got tired of the silliness and had better things to do irl after becoming rich.
Something that hasn't happened with me yet.... (I never tire of the silliness, I create it....)

GO BITCOIN

 

To be part of the next bull run rather than regretting again to sell off during this dip have some chill pills mate.

Profit suppressor??? for everyone 1 person who has made money with shitcoins, there are 100's who has lost big!

pretty sure proudhon was also involved with the discovery of imaginary numbers too.

You should know that no one else has the mind capable of crunching the numbers that Proudhon does. He is a god among mathematicians.

5 days from now, if my calculations are correct.

I can confirm we are heading to an end of epoch, pump november/december/jan
Every bitcoin era, well starting 2013, I get a random (meaning I dont seek it but just happen to be at the right place at the right time so to speak) but stupidly significant airdrop/whatever.  
2013 it happened then 2-3 months later top of cycle
2017 it happened then 2-3 months later top of cycle
2021 it happened again, so 2-3 months will be top of cycle.
4 years between each.  

I cant make this shit up.  Mark my words.  2-3 months.  top of cycle.
