I replaced it with a fresh '67 327 with 2.02 intake valves. Solid lifters, doublehump heads, Carter 4bbl, and dome pistons. Aluminum Edelbrock Torker II intake. I had to have the starter rebuilt with more windings for the high compression. It was licensed, and had open headers, it was hot shit on the farm. At the time.
That paragraph is so fucking butch my testosterone levels tripled just reading it.

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.

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. Maybe that's why the CMOE is suddenly more interested in ETFs?

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.

Nothing revolutionary about that. 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

And you enable the whales to win again, the rich get richer. long time holder here (2011) and i sold some on the dec 2017 run up, it was too hard to resist not taking some profits off the table. i used it to do some house upgrades and get a few new toys. yes i believe in what bitcoin represents; the new way of storing value, security and money in general. i wouldnt have held the bulk of my btc this long if i didnt. but taking advantage of its price rise here and there, well, nothing wrong with that imo. its nice to enjoy the benefits on occasion.

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.
