for those new to bitcoin and have time to spare during this quiet time, go to rpietila's profile and read his posts from pages 50 down to 40...

My original post was meant as a warning for newbies to be careful about whose advice they follow. I work with people with severe mental health problems for a living, so I know first hand the suffering they and their loved ones go through. I therefore appreciate quite significantly that it is unjust to analyse someone based solely on their mental health, in the process exposing them in public.

However I also believe that highlighting someone's mental health issues becomes important when they put themselves or are deemed to be in a position of power/influence.

yes he was, by his own assertion:

the change in language is quite typical when one switches from a manic phase to a euthymic or depressive phase...

agreed with niothor.

This is just a reminder to those who might have forgotten or those who are new to bitcoin.



Now I have a psych agreeing with me that another person is a psycho Smiley))))))


well not a psycho, just someone who suffers from a mental illness, which when uncontrolled can lead to severe social dysfunction, as we saw some months ago. The main problem with Bipolar disorder is that the sufferer frequently lacks insight into their condition, which makes treatment even harder.

Rpietila is shouting doom and gloom all over the forum, but until the beginning of the year he was predicting a bitcoin valuation of several hundred thousand USD. That was whilst he was in a manic phase, during which his behavior on these forums, as well as in real life caused much sensation and is well documented for those interested in using the search function.

He was subsequently involuntarily hospitalized in a psychiatric facility, diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder, with multiple delusions of grandeur. He now seems to be in a depressive phase of his illness and is spreading doom and gloom on the speculation forums. Either that, or he has sold just before we hit 1000 and is now regretting his mistake.

Either way, thread carefully with him

Dude, enough, just man-up and accept the hit when you buy back in, some you win, some you lose.

OK, finally I got it. Everybody is just envious because I have $millions and they don't, and I did it in the very coordinated way that never risked the majority of the position, in fact at current prices the remainder of the position is already worth more than the whole of it before divestment.

When you cannot argue against operational excellence, you whine. No whiners will be invited to the inauguration ceremony of my castle, however.

Sorry to be so blunt about it but this seems to be the only realistic explanation for the whinery, am I not right?

You know , not everybody is envious of you.Not with your past!

Second as you may know since you started two topics around here , there are people with more bitcoin than you.
Also there are people with more money than you , even if your bits go over 10 000.

This bragging after a fwew weeks of real posts with essence makes me wonder if its time for a week of cold showers Wink

Had to start a new topic as he deleted my posts in his topic. This is just a reminder to those who might have forgotten or those who are new to bitcoin.

Either way, tread carefully with him

Dear moderators,

I'd love to be white listed in order to post in the marketplace sub-forum. I've been an active lurker since April 2011 and have finally decided to take a more active role in the bitcoin community.

Cheers
