So, anyhow, you come off as a bit of a snake oil salesman who is trying to get others to sell a bit in order to better prepare for down, and in that regard kind of lecturing some kind of supposed higher wisdom that you are proclaiming.  Am I wrong?

I agree that everyone should prepare for both up and down, but if someone does not feel comfortable selling, then why sit there and try to pressure them and rub it in, except seems that you want to talk your book here, rather than realistically share BTC price direction predictions that you have.

No one is telling anyone to bet the farm on BTC; however, you talk about $3k as if it has some kind of high probability of happening, and apparently your portfolio does not represent such pessimism.  So maybe you should temper your language a bit to be better in line with your portfolio holdings rather than painting some kind of doom and gloom scenario as if it were pending and imminent.

Actually, I agree with your point that a 50%-ish correction is not necessarily unrealistic, but we already had a 40% correction, recently, and there still remains a decent amount of uncertainty regarding the severity of the threat of any of the upmanship attacks on bitcoin... yeah they keep upping and upping the ante in terms of their attempts for destruction and disruption, but in the end, are these threats going to materially play out in a meaningful way? In that regard, you better fucking hodl onto your coins because even if we are getting down, we may well get up before we get down... so you are going to want to sell some more priro to any potential 50% or greater correction - that may well come after a further pump - even a 2x pump.

So no one is saying that BTC is the be all end all coin.. or that these attacks are not likely to have any effect.. but it is a matter of when.. and what might happen first before the supposed calamity that you proclaim kicks in.

What a walking contradiction you are. Feels good to be sure of .... nothing I guess?  

Good luck with that.  I have not yet seen the trend change, merely because we are pausing at the top for a while.... That is not unusual and does not necessitate any kind of significant correction of 40% or 50%, even though one may come, but 20% would be more reasonable, ... even though in the end, anything is fair game in bitcoinlandia... .

Is not a little high?

So I guess you are out and on the sideline then?

I feel the train back above 6000 is gonna be leaving soon... btfd

I only moved all BTC out of exchange (only one, Kraken). So I did not sell. And kept my alts on (most LTC).

Is that not a bit early?

Yeah not that it is appropriate topics of conversation for this forum thread. But it's really sad to me that in this day and age, no one converses or debates ideas, information, or thoughts anymore. They simply "proclaim" their position or beliefs on a matter, quickly label the other person with some label that implies a bucket or category of some opposite extreme ideology/point of view that doesn't even apply, and the whole conversation is immediately over before it even began.

Terms like "racist", "fascist" and "antisemitism" are pretty well established words with clearly defined meanings.

"SJW" otoh is short for a truly nonsensical label. It's bigoted right wing nutter code for "not a bigoted asshole".

Sorry I'm not up to date here. What's the story with Risto? What's happened?

Ok, so that's rather depressing Knew the guy had mental health issues, but always took him as benign.

Well, he was a racist fascist with an emphasis on antisemitism before he ran off with the xmr. But I guess that counts for benign in Cryptoland.

I got a better idea. Let's publically harass, shame, and excommunicate people writing contentious Bitcoin hard forks that no one in the user community is even asking for. Let's run all the Charlatans out of town.

Price speculations before hf? 7k?

No.
