yeah....I don't really bring it up  I have another guy who said he had too many toys in the garage as such...he pointed to his wife's bike....was like 1 or 2 btc..from back when...and said it was the most expensive thing in the garage as far as I know it is the first and only and likely ever time such an argument could be won by and old HODL'er but yeah...I have issues with the Kirby Vacuum at 1 btc back when...i also have issues with price of btc jan 2018 and price in dec 2018 going down 70% or some such after I retired with the btc/crypto as such....bout pissed myself hodl'ing thru that (did dump 13 btc was not gonna un-retire..got back 5 btc still down 8 btc or so grrrr from the hoard grrrr...after that dump i was more or less immune through that horror....so HODL'ing became easy... I have also found since 2013 till even now..that of the 90% or more on the forum here and FB that come in and out of btc/crypto and maybe in the real world so most people crack at about $50,000 or so when it is 'real $$$'.....a guy in the summer of 2013 cashed out as a millionaire mainly due to family and wife i think it was on bfl chat (butterfly labs chat) when btc was like July 1st, 2013 like $69 a coin..... I hope he got back into btc along that timeline or invested the 1 million to show something out of all that at least but as a kinda 'guess' from my past readings on here and elsewhere about $50k I had a week at probably around $50k when all my friends and family figured out and had an honest ambush intervention like I was a moonie or in Amway that was one uncomfortable hour before i ran out....and the same week my mom called me up crying that I looked like a schmuck to everyone i put my btc/crypto in a trust and don't touch it....friends/family/god daughters etc now they call me up btc/crypto up/down all up in the air....mostly when down..and i say 'this is what you get for trusting your inheritance to me who is obviously clueless..not my problem..not my money..in the trust...at least i keep a few people up at night in order to be good at HODL'ing btc/crypto you have to 'despise' $$$ a little bit or you crack under the pressure...so that was my mental trickery to HODL just tossed it in a trust for when i die My lifestyle in no way suffers....still have expertise as boring...and be stealthy with my 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with only $32.K of miles on it anyway...how I coped with it ps. i type as fast as i think so don't sweat my lengthy posts.. brad When trading or holding Bitcoin, you can see two sides of people’s moods: one is happy, and the other is stressed or angry. The reason is that people often buy a lot of BTC with almost all their money. When the price keeps dropping, your mood becomes bad, you don’t feel like doing anything, and small things annoy you. But when your holdings are making a profit compared to your purchase price, your mood is very good. I’ve experienced this many times myself. My Bitcoin, along with Ether and Sol, once dropped about 60% below my purchase price. I almost went crazy and didn’t know what to do. Then a close friend advised me that if possible, I should take some loan in dollars and buy more Bitcoin and Ether during this time. He said when the bull run starts, it could go 3–5×. I followed his advice and ended up making a lot of profit. From this, I learned that it’s better not to invest all your money at once, but to keep some aside for dips. Now, with what I have, I can secure my future and my future children’s future. I am not married yet, but my plan to marry in 2026. The lesson is that in bad times, don’t give up find a way to protect yourself from loss. |

It’s a good point that no one should be forced to invest. If you want to invest in something, you should first have knowledge about it, the willingness, and the ability. Just like love can’t be forced, neither can investment.
In my opinion, if you keep your money at home, scattered and unused, and you don’t want to put it in the bank, then if you have a basic understanding of Bitcoin or the willingness to buy and hold it, you can go ahead. If not, you can buy gold and keep it instead.
One thing to remember: the price of Bitcoin and gold will not go down; they tend to increase over time. But money kept at home won’t grow at all — its value will only decrease.

Not only me, nobody believed it. The people who created bitcoin were the only ones who really know it's future. For a normal person, it was very hard to think about what could happen. I did not believe it either.
When I first came into Bitcoin, the price was only 540 dollars. Because of my teacher’s advice and with some money from my father and my savings, I bought and keep some of bitcoin. Today it is around 56,000+-. My teacher almost forced me to buy it then i buy it. Today that makes me my dream.
My friends told me many times to sell, but i still keep it. The truth is, in the beginning nobody believes. But the people who bought and hold it, who understood its value, they are the ones smiling now and will keep smiling in the future. When the price is low, people ignore it. When the price rises, everyone starts to value it. We already know one day bitcoin price will reach the sky. But now, the price is high, people do not want to buy. The final truth is this in the beginning nobody will believe, but one day when the price hits 100k, that will be the eternal truth.

I have come to understand that when one fails, it normally takes a long time to start all over again because failing is exhausting. One of the most difficult things for most beginners is to have the courage to start over after the mistake of going into investments and trading without understanding.
A better understanding is very important to gain first before engaging in investments or trading because it spares one from losing money unnecessarily and prevents one from the delay of failure. So many people who went into the wrong investments due to lack of understanding never had a chance of coming back because they invested wrongly with money they couldn't afford to lose and in the wrong coin, and the same goes for those who started trading without knowledge. It pays a lot to learn and understand because ignorance and lack of understanding are very expensive and exhausting.
This mostly happens with beginners. They have money but no understanding. because you have money does not mean you can invest anywhere and you get profit. If that was true, any newbie could invest in any project and make thousands of dollars it’s just a jokes . But trading is not something you can learn in one day. It takes a lot of time to understands. You will not understand it even in 2–3 month. If you are new, the first thing you must do is research the project you want to invest in. Check the team, their future plan with the token, if the whitepaper is real or fake, and if they will launch the token on a good exchange in the future. For beginners, one common thing is buying tokens just by following others without understandings . If they face a small loss, they sell instant they are token . When the price goes up, they buy again. Experienced traders never do this. Beginners make these mistakes again and again. If they can avoid them and work with a plan, they will also make profit. Without mistakes, no one can learn. Mistakes give people lessons. Those who give up after mistakes will never move forward. But those who learn from mistakes and start again do well in life. |

yeah i am busy. at 68 i do more work then most.
i like working with my hands.
i will drive to my partners shed and grab 18 bags to prep.
prepping the wires is fun. i put on 60s and 70s music and knock them out.
actually if i didnt have so much other work to do I would not mind doing this three times a week for a year or so.
we do not have enough wire to do 3x52=156 trips
it would be 91,200 dollars for three days a week say 21 hours each week.
frankly when i went into the four man partnership with the mine in 2018 i had no idea how much work i would need to do.
then my bro-in-law got dementia in summer of 2021. he is a ton of work.
easliy 20 to 30 hours a week.
so yeah i am busy really busy.
oh blog here
and blog on mac rumors
and blog on altcoinstalks
it is a busy time for me.
wow, what are you saying! you are almost 70 years old, when most people would be resting. but you’re living with the energy of a young man, even outpacing many of them. you treat work with respect and responsibility, and because you truly love what you do, it feels easy for you. i don’t even know if i’ll have that much strength when i reach your age. and yes, listening to music while working makes everything more enjoyable. if it is writing it can feel boring, but with hands on work, music actually helps you focus. old songs are also my favorite nowadays. some songs i really like are “imagine” (1971) by john lennon, “like a rolling stone” (1965) by bob dylan, and “(i can’t get no) satisfaction” (1965) by the rolling stones. i listen to these songs quite often. even you said, if you didn’t have other work, you would happily do this three times a week for a whole year. that proves you don’t just see work as duty, but as love. if young people could understand and practice this mindset, they wouldn’t need to depend on others in their later years. i pray that your dreams come true, and then you can enjoy your well-deserved rest. |

BTC went to 117K yesterday because of bullish pressure. That is a good sign that buy demand is still strong. But on fomc day trusting this move fully is risky, because big traders usually push the price into premium zones to trap small traders and confuse them about whether to buy or not.
If Powell ton is hawkish (hinting at higher interest rates) the market could be drop. btc might first spikee up and then dump hard. but if the ton is dovishing (rate cuts or easier lending), btc could break higher then he can get a new record .
In my view btc could reach its peak this week since the recent trend is still bullish and the market structure is upward. But confusing moves are very likely, so it will be riskier for scalpers.

Spring is coiled boys. The pressure keeping it down cannot sustain the effort. Next ATH we move violently upward. Think $140k falls quickly, and falls this month.
The market won’t go up just because you or i want it to. it always moves by its own rules. sometimes it even loses its direction. if i think the market will hit 140k+ this month, is that really possible? of course not. i don’t think it will reach 140k+ before another correction. and if it does, what will the dumpers do? it’s true that compared to past years, btc has pumped many times this year. the time will come when its price will skyrocket, maybe even reach 1m. but 140k this month is maybe not possible. |

The crazy part of the MSTR snub is that they added 2 companies with lower market caps. To me that signals not a lot of faith in Bitcoin. Saylor now finds himself in a spot where he is going to have to pump the price higher between now and December by any means or else it is definitely game over for this cycle.
he does btc no favors. I frankly do not want him in the sp 500 and to think that ends the so called four year cycle shows me a lot of other btc people do not have much faith. My guess is we see a five or 6 year up trend which means 2026 or 2027 before a drop. This can’t be said to be completely wrong.Saylor is definitely a big name in the bitcoin space. but BTC cycles depend on liquidity, global monetary policy adoption rate and investor sentiment. Historically the 4-5 year cycle was linked to the mining reward halving. but with ETFs and institutional involvement now, this cycle could extend. So, a bullissh trend may continue until 2026/2027 with a major correction likely afterward. |
