I didnt realise it but they actually sold them all!
...and is thinking of investing in the S&P500, im shocked, it seems they dont have faith in Bitcoin for the future.
"2: What I Would’ve Done Differently
Many different intense emotions were hitting me every single day for the past few weeks ever since this had happened. Initially, the number one thing on my mind was to not ruin this opportunity and to realize my gains as soon as humanly possible without somehow fucking this up. Looking back at things, I would not have sold all 127 Bitcoins if I were given a second chance. Instead, I would’ve sold the majority of them and kept a handful to hold for years to come. Especially seeing that the price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially this week, I can’t help but feel a bit of remorse for selling everything prematurely. Some of you commented on my previous post asking why I decided to end the post with “Hold On for Dear Life” when I sold everything. Well, to give myself credit, I did HODL for 8-9 years which is more than the vast majority of crypto users I think. But yeah, I definitely would’ve done things differently if I were given a second chance.
#3: My Plans Moving Forward
For one, I tried to log in to my old Dark Orbit account for nostalgia purposes but I wasn’t able to remember my username and/or password lol. My plan moving forward is to find a safe, low-risk investment channel to put this money into after I figure out what I’m going to do with taxes. My thoughts are to probably put most of it in the S&P 500 until I’m at least done with school. I don’t want to end up like one of those people who win the lottery and blow it all in a matter of months/years. That being said, I’m going to continue living my life normally as I was on December 21st and every day before that. No expensive luxuries, no new house, no new car, nada"

Thats a "Great news story"
That type of find is life changing for sure.
BitcoinHolderThankU is lucky, so many old wallets have been forgotten/given up on and hard drives disposed of in the past because the owners lost keys or hadnt the faith in Bitcoin for the future, especially when Bitcoin was valued at less than a $
Great story, im happy for BitcoinHolderThankU
Also it must be said that the people who started with Bitcoin back in first years and had the interest and foresight to continue through the bull and bear cycles deserve massive credit, we wouldnt be here without them.

Yes the interest as advertised is real, for BTC the interest is 6%. the interest is accumulated every day and added to the balance after 1 month, then you earn 6% interest on that also.
So its like compound interest but only compounded per month.
There is no catch because they also offer loans to people wanting to borrow and afaik they are at a rate of 9%.

Dont forget that the Bitcoin FIAT price cannot keep going up, there will be corrections and pull backs. This will continue to happen.
Also remember that there are still traders, and will always be traders. They are in the business of buying low and selling high.
So today we have to have the mindset that Bitcoin is on SALE, grab what you can at these reduced prices!

LOL... so the OP purchased more coins at $40,000 per coin. It takes a lot of courage, to go for an asset when it is at ATH, especially when everyone is talking about an impending correction. I personally know a few people who purchased BTC at close to the then ATH levels in 2017. Only one of them held on to the coins when the prices crashed in 2018. And the others are regretting their decision to get rid of their holdings.
By this reconing nobody will be buying BTC going forward until it drops back to a "corrected" value, which isnt true Look at this thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5304522.0Title - Are people buying BTC @ $27000+ idiots?Well we might not see $27000 again, same as $40000 in the not too distant future. There is talk of a "correction" but that might not happen until $80k or $120k.

Hello, Today I fell for a scam email that sent me to a copy of stellar website. There I logged in with my ledger nano s through usb. Then I realized that something is fishy, so I disconnected my ledger from laptop, created a new wallet on the same ledger and moved everything from the initial wallet to the 2nd one. The scam website is similar with the original/ but had .mu at the end I didn't gave away my secret words or anything inside the website. I just did the normal operations on the ledger (enter ledger pin, open stellar app) 1. I can consider my initial stellar wallet compromised? 2. I can consider my whole ledger nano compromised? if so I should reset the ledger and transfer all crypto assets to new accounts? Thanks sorry to hear that, this is a reminder that in these very positive times the scammers are still scamming! I created this thread last year about a fake ledger website I came across, I bet so many people get scammed by these. Here is the link to the thread, I hope it helps others become aware of the scam. We have to remember to be vigilant, hopefully you noticed the scam in time to protect your stellar and wallet. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205126.msg53198360#msg53198360good advice from bob123 !

..all the unnecessary shit I have so I could buy more bitcoin!
kthxbai.
PS to the hodlers who held through the 2018-2020 bear market, congratulations. you deserve it.
Short and sweet, I like it. There are a lot of us who have held if not all but the majority of our BTC through the bear market. I am a long term Hodler and everything to date which I have Hodled is showing a +, ++, +++, etc. Have you heard about Didi Taihuttu and his family who sold everything for BTC back in 2016/2017 they have been traveling the world since and are great ambassadors for BTC. One of their mottos which we can all strive to is: "the secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage “ https://yolofamilytravel.com/and @arbiter5 this is something we should all do! Liquidate all unnecessary stuff into BTC [or everything as above!] I have started this too and I'm not getting hung up on trying to get top $ for the stuff, my aim is to liquidate quickly because the value is in BTC not in the extra few $'s I should have got for the stuff.

I have just submitted an artwork which I created to celebrate BTC's 10th anniversary back in 2018. I didnt sell it so I though it would be a good idea to list it on the COVID-19 thread.
I created it with Acrylic paint on a cradled hardboard frame.

Looking forward to seeing the other submissions.
Best of luck to all . . . and to myself !

Could have bought it in March this year for sub $4000.
Downside risk is much greater now than it was earlier this year.
Is it the mentally challenged that are getting fleeced right now.
eh, we did buy earlier at $4000, and again at $8000, and again at $16000 and again today! I spent my last available $'s today and bought 22,890 satoshi's, its called dollar cost averaging. Come back to us when Bitcoin is $60000 when we are buying more. just referring back to my post from earlier, according to the OP we were all mentally challenged to be buying at $27k.... I guess the mentally challenged were those who didnt @battle1doom

Welcome back! I suggest you watch, listen and read everything Michael Saylor of Microstrategy Investments has said in the last 6 months. He has a very clear understanding of where Bitcoin is at now and gives a very clear, concise and easy to understand description about what is happening now and what he expects going forward. He talks about everything from how it works, the history to investment strategies. https://twitter.com/michael_saylor?s=09Just put Michael Saylor into YOUTUBE and all the interviews come up. There are other Bulls which are well worth listening to and following, PlanB & Raoul Pal too, there are others but these are my 3 suggestions.

What's the difference between the New All-Time High and the All-time High? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I see no difference, It's all the same mate, so why complicate things when we can still call the new highest price the All-Time High (ATH) price? No difference really, except when there is a NEW ATH a few times in one day! "Did you see the ATH today of $30,000?"
"Yes but there is a NEW ATH, $32,674!"Did you join the Bitcoin after 2017 ATH? The concept of breaking the ATH barrier is because we have not seen any reaching these levels since 2017, so many beginners here have not heard of these levels. Bitcoin has continued to break many barriers since 2010 until today, and therefore the concept of ATH barrier is what puts us in the level of long-term resistance, which if it is broken, we move a higher price level, for example, 300 to 1000 to 1000000, and so on to 100 thousand
Nope, bought my first BTC back in Jan 2017, I think it was 16th jan! It was BTC0.01203243 and was a test to make sure I was buying/transferring etc properly! It was about €10 back then, Today that same amount is €320 - The power of HODL Until recently it was in its original wallet throughout the 2017 rise.

Every week for the last 3 weeks or so I have had to write "New all time high" so many times as Bitcoin pushed through $20,000.
The new abbreviation NATH will make it quicker when texting and posting because lets face it we will be writing it a lot from here on in!
Happy new 202BTC !

Craig was a fraud from day one. I'm surprised that anyone really believed his words.
In my opinion sometimes people need something or someone to believe in order to fill in their thoughts with something, especially when they are not engaged. It is something like just for fun. Humans like to get bread and circuses. Personally for me it does not played a great role who that man was, is or turned out to be. Of course it is funny to read such kind of statements - I am real Satoshi and here are my proofs, and more funny when the truth is opened. But there are so many stories like that and even in case one of them appeared to be a real Satoshi, it would not have a great impact on the very very nature of the Bitcoin. correct, we dont need to know who Satoshi is/was. Eventhough nobody knew Satoshi on a personal level or ever met him knowingly we all know Satoshi would never act in the way CSW acted or acts, thats the bottom line. Satoshi has/had class and intelligence and designed something for the common good, not just for their own benefit.

Of course, it could all be misdirection. A deliberate effort to obscure their identity. Maybe they changed the settings on their spellchecker so they didn't have to make a conscious effort to remember to change all the spellings manually each time they posted.
Of course, if the great Satoshi was able to give us Bitcoin, He/She/They were more than capable of being and remaining anonymous. 2 strokes of genius ! Just brilliant.
