Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[JayJuanGee]

No sir, but I'm preparing myself mentally. I believe I've become too emotionally attached to my investment. And I don't think we'll see $12k this year.

Oh ye of little faith.

I did cancel my sell order @ $12.5k tho.

Gonna chill out for the next few days and see how things are looking Monday.

Mmm. Beer...

I had faith at $400. At $9k I think Wall street is toying with me. I ain't mad at it. But still..

I think that we call that being over invested, so yeah, you should have been taken out profits along the way in order that you would not feel like this - yet that is water under the bridge because we cannot go back  and actually do the could have, would have, should have... . The only thing that you can do is act upon the options currently, rather than what you should have done... in order to lessen that the amount that you feel this way.

By the way, I think that we all feel the way that you feel a little bit, no matter what our having had sold some on the way up, because we conclude that we could have sold more and been able to buy back more - however, there are ways to prepare in order that the degree of the feeling does not cause such stress that we are acting on our emotions rather than logic.

My lack of planning has been a problem, as you know.

Sometimes it can be difficult to fix - and a kind of personality trait... .. but maybe that is a kind of personality trait that makes you so fun (and special) in your own ways, too?   or not? 

Sometimes you can just play your position partially, instead of blowing your whole wadd on your fear in order to achieve the relief that you feel that you need....

So instead of panic selling 100% of your BTC or some large amount, instead you might decide to sell a smaller amount, such as 10% or 15% and then feel better to ride just ride the rest out. 

It can be kind of difficult for us to know from the interwebs without knowing some details, and ultimately, you are the one that has to decide to attempt to pick the approach that best works for you and your circumstances while attempting to continue to learn and tweak your approach so that you can get better at NOT feeling stress, perhaps.

In other words, pee pare ur selfie for DOOM!!!!!!

Even a small topic like why there is an NRA backed ban on research into gun violence would take a long time to do properly, even though on its face it’s a ridiculous law.  What is more anti-science than banning research ?

All over human history being forcefully disarmed was a synonym of being a slave or a prisoner. Maybe "research" that.

Australia had all their guns confiscated 25 years ago.  They haven’t had a mass shooting since.  And they don’t look like slaves.

You do know deep down the 'school shootings' etc are a govt program rolled out to further social agendas like gun control, conditioning etc??

I'm back in the LTC business...so I got that going for me

Maybe you need to provide some more details regarding what brought you to your current HODL status?

When was the last time that you bought and when was the last time that you sold?

Are you 100% "in"  do you have money to buy if it dips?

In my BTC portfolio, I am currently about 93% in BTC and about 7% in fiat, and I feel comfortable with those portions to buy all the way down to $1k and perhaps lower...

Surely, I don't want BTC prices to go down, but price direction is out of my control, and even out of my ability to predict with any certainty.. maybe at times I give up to 60% odds of one direction or another, but even now, I am kind of 50/50 torn about what the fuck is going on here.

So, pee pare ur selfie for either direction, including DOOM..... but not necessarily gonna happen.

Give us something to work with BMB.... What be happening with uie?

My BTC to cash ratio is about the same as yours, give or take. But I'm obviously not as serene about it as you are.

[moneyForjam]

oh, in my crushed bear soul portfolio, I have about 99% retards, 0% traders, and 1% idiots
with very similar numbers in my crushed bull soul portfolio, 98% retards, 0% traders, and 2% idiots

even if I had just 0.1 btc for every word jj0m0 typed, I think I could afford to bribe him to contain the dribble

[jojo69]

well heyyyyyy

goodness no

A while back I set up a good bit of my trading stash into the JJG/Jbreher (tm) incremental trading system in the BTC:ETH and BTC:LTC pairs.  The logic being that I can slowly grow my stash by harvesting volatility while not being exposed to fiat risk.  I am always fully in crypto.

Not too long after I set it up LTC went on its recent rampage and ran off the end of my spread of asks (I ran out of LTC).

Today it finally ran back into my bids and I am back in business.

BTC price needs to go on a deep dive to shake off all these scum ... who's with me?!

Muuuuaaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhhaaaaaa

Maybe some zen meditation is in order?

I mean really dude (or dudette).  We already had our selfies a 70% price correction, and where is the bad news, exactly?

It could be the case that the implosion of various alts are kind of dragging down BTC, but we actually have clear paths ahead for segwit and lightning, and look at those transaction fees and times, low as fuck (just showing that the long-ass spamming attack had been clogging up blockchain matters for quite a long time)...

Anyhow, BTC fundamentals seem to be doing quite good, so I don't see why any HODLer should be freaking the fuck out regarding the "normal" ups and down of bitcoin.

Recall that an aspect of bitcoin that it the most easily counted upon would be its volatility.  In other words, we do not have any guarantees of either UP or DOWN, but we have as close as we could get guarantee to volatility. 

So hang onto your panties (and all the pants you commandeered), and we should be able to make it through these trying (but seemingly expected) BTC volatility times.

For me that does not make a whole hell of a lot of sense - even though it is possible to work to the extent that the price of BTC and alts are inversely correlated.  but sometimes they all drop together, which is why the dollar/BTC pairing can be helpful. 

Perhaps jbreher plays some of those various pairs, but I think that whatever I am saying is kind of ruled out when you start adding various other cryptos as your pairs, mostly because of the extra questions of the lack of a straight line performance of the other crypto that is going to bring extra volatility and even too many additional uncertainties that vary from cycle to cycle.

I know that each of us have our own systems, so it probably does not matter any fuck what I say, because your mind seems to be already made up to trade certain other crypto pairs because for some reason you see some kind of disutility in holding dollars. 

Personally, I understand that the long term certainty of the dollar is that it depreciates in value; however, in the short term, the dollar is way the fuck more stable than any alt coin, including LTC or ETH, and part of the reason for dollar pairing with BTC is to get in and out of crypto volatility and to play it off of the dollar

To me, you seem to be adding a certain unnecessary level of additional risk and additional unknowns in terms of what the fuck those two crypto projects are doing. 

But ultimately.. whatever floats your boat... but it seems more removed from my system when you add more variables of uncertainty that can kind of negate the more focused BTC/USD approach.
