^what he said Nope
The bubble burst did. And it's not tamed, it's been dragged into an alley and had the shit kicked out of it.
Now it's groaning in a corner until a garbage truck runs it over in the morning.

Good morning Bitcoinland. I see we had a bit of a dip, all the way down to where we were over a week ago...$6393USD/$8390CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Why does this always seem (lately) to happen when I'm short on cash to buy more coins? I can't bitch though. It's only money and I'm not impoverished quite yet. maybe it doesn't go down to 3xxx levels after all  That 3xxx nonsense is just wishful thinking by people who missed the boat (or panic sold at the bottom) and desperately want the price to go down. That 3xxx nonsense is something that you just can't dismiss outright. Sure we all want the price to go over the moon. Possibly even higher. But there's no denying we're in a strong bear market right now. There's every chance that it will go down. From 20xxx to 12xxx to 6xxx. All nonsense. |

A few of us got really enthusiastic about it. Then everybody got pissed 'cuz they thought we all got rich about it. Then some of us just got poor about it again. It's a karmic rollercoaster. And it's not a free ride. With regard to this: https://twitter.com/MayorOfBitcoinI'd like to see those polling numbers.   |

actually, to be perfectly honest, if I'da sold a coin or two at 19k,
I'd be feeling pretty gloat-ish about now...
In retrospect I ought to have unloaded the whole bucket and never looked back. So it goes But..bbut... this is exactly what people said back in Dec 2013 when the price hit $1200. Many did unload it all then. And they regret it now. Some didn't. And they feel awesome right now, even after this latest downturn. You know it's gonna happen again, and it will be even more epic. You're not wrong. But sometimes the fatcats have more patience than you have time. It gets tricky around the edges. |

It was surreal. But I was naive. I really thought on some level maybe we could sustain that. I just hated the idea of selling too much. Live and learn, I say.
That's the thing that sucks though. If you are a true believer that long term Bitcoin is a better form of money than fiat, then selling a huge amount just to profit from a bubble feels awful. Especially if you sold it to fund something that is not deflationary. You'll likely not rebuy that Bitcoin back or even reinvest your gains, which defeats the whole point. And you enable the whales to win again, the rich get richer. afaict empires aren't defeated, they just sort of crumble. I saw the writing on the wall and jumped on the train. Nothing revolutionary about that. actually, to be perfectly honest, if I'da sold a coin or two at 19k,

Pretty amusing when back in January some people here thought the $3k-4k moves up and down every 2-3 days was "just a correction" and completely sustainable, lol.
but not haha amusing. I kind of always knew what the shot was going to be, but my inner bull took over the chinashop. Some said that I was a dreamer. But was I really the only one? I knew back in December when things went parabolic that we were in a bubble. It was surreal. Even my SO said something to me one morning like "yeah... it's looking more and more like another bubble" and she isn't even good at detecting such things. The only question on our minds was how high would it go. Here's the thing : the amount of deep pocket traders $$$ with their crazy leverage is STILL, even after nearly a decade, far outnumbering the amount of $$$ put in by the Average Joe bitcoiners. By far. I think it's going to take another decade or so before these type of swings smooth out. Unless of course, ETFs come online, which means that Average Joe money will never be able to overtake the market. The whales will still maintain control of it. It was surreal. But I was naive. I really thought on some level maybe we could sustain that. I just hated the idea of selling too much. Live and learn, I say.  |

My cat's been out of the bag for a while now. I spent 2 days in the hoosegow about it. Never discuss Bitcorn with a normal. Never. |

But multiple bone grafts sounds like hell.  Actually thats not to bad it's all the time wasted thats the killer. Lots of wasted time in the clink, too. Not that I'd know anything about that. The older you get the more you realize that time really is the most important thing besides your health. It's funny that most people never really get that lesson until it's a moot point. but not haha funny.  |

No doubt he's a huge narcissist. TPTB don't notice you. They just eat you. Incarceration is always the first worst thing I can think of. But multiple bone grafts sounds like hell. |

Is it wrong for me to have some concern for the mayor's liver, given the recent Bitcoin price action ?
Too late. I think I'm W.B Yeats now, slacking towards Bethlehem. Where's that R0ach character. Whoever owns that R0ach character, let him out for a bit so we can gloat. It's only fair. Edit: Don't do it. I'm deathly afraid of him. Post Edit: Someone is deleting posts. Most likely bearish ones. Here's a short-list of posters that frighten me: PoolMiner HairyMaclairy LastOfTheV8's Bob NanoBtc MAjorMax Theymos is sort of iffy |
