Has Bitstamp changed the look of its Tradeview page? I am not able to make the chart fill the page horizontally anymore. The orderbook and the order entry form take valuable horizontal space beside the chart. Previously, they could be put below it. I'm not logging on - just using the public tradeview page.
Anyone know if it can be fixed?
I hear what you are describing... and I could not see anything to remove those side windows.. but I only spent about 10-15 minutes on it, and sometimes those platforms change their interface.. and I had not even been using the features, so sometimes I won't even realize what had changed or how.
I was going to make some kind of a funny suggestion for you to just buy a larger monitor and everything is fixed, and surely I have some really great monitors - but when I travel, I cannot be carrying around monitors, so sometimes getting reliant upon a great set up can cause frustrations when having to shrink back down to a smaller amount of desktop (screen) space. Even some of the solutions that I find can cause a lot of frustration, including carrying two laptops rather than one.. and it is not exactly the most practical solution... when having to lug around a bunch of things.. and do I carry the nice laptops or maybe the less expensive ones in case "something happens?"
Long answer short. Don't ask me.
The problem with normies is that they can't maths.
They completely laugh and scoff at bitcoin as a valid investment, all the while losing money in the equities market vs. inflation.
You could easily make the case that bitcoin roughly doubles in value every 4 years as measured from it's lowest bear market point to lowest bear market point. (Yes it's probably more than that, I know, but I'm just being conservative here).
Still, extrapolated, that's ~ +25% gain year over year. Show me ANY other investment that *consistently* does that, that Average Joe can invest in long term.
I'll wait, normies...
and then they wonder why they are poor....
There’s definitely a reason they HFSP.
I think most of us here have a different way of thinking to the average guy, different personality traits. Most people stick with safe, low interest savings accounts, they are very risk averse.
Those of us who were early and have done well in bitcoin are a different breed, risk takers, entrepreneurial minds. We want more for our lives than the average guy and we seek out ways to facilitate that. It just so happens that bitcoin has given us opportunities in life that most people don’t get.
Cheers.
I don't know LFC.
I don't think that we are that different.
Perhaps one of the things that might have caused us to seem different is that we took action.. so there might be some ways that we decided to do some analysis work and/or spend some time to look into bitcoin, and if we might have been whimpy or hesitant, then maybe we made smaller investments into BTC.. so still even whimpy had been able to profit into bitcoin as long as they continued to buy and/or merely to hold their BTC rather than selling it.
So maybe I am not really arguing with you.. even though I don't really think that we are very different.. except merely that some of our actions might have had a kind of cascading effect, and some people need more motivation or they need to be in the right kind of a place before they are going to do anything..including just taking a small amount, such as $10 per week, and then maybe after investing $10 per week for 6 months, there begins to come reasons to "look into the matter more" and thereafter incentive for further action.. perhaps? perhaps?
Not posted in a while just trucking away with dca and stacking. Was out in the world enjoying life and started to notice Btc in general life, from billboards, graffiti, bitcoin atms etc. I’m not sure if it was always there or not but what do we think about this type of engagement with Joe Public. I wonder has anyone found their way here from something like seeing a btc atm in their local area.
I’m having some serious internal debates on whether to over allocate into Btc this year, I had set some targets around totals with what I felt was balanced and am approaching these way sooner than I thought was possible. With WO’s who have over allocated before any learnings to help me with my own decisions?
Another one been wrestling with is continue to allocate same during a bull and new ath, or under allocate for that time. I see comments about oh know if you bought at the top it’s bad but wouldn’t all dca’rs have bought at the top?
Well? It depends on what you mean by overallocation. So if you have already invested in a variety of assets, and then you are going to bring your BTC allocation to somewhere in the 1% to 25%, then maybe overallocation would be going more than 25%, or if you had set your goal to be 10%, and then over allocation would be going higher than your original goal.
Another thing is whether you feel that you really have your various expenses more than covered in case bitcoin prices go sour for 2-6 years, and then are you going to be needing to dip into your BTC at a time that is not of your own choosing, or would you be able to ride it out?
Of course, there are some people who don't have any other investments besides BTC and cash, so that might be dangerous to overallocate under those kinds of circumstances.. so maybe questioning whether you have other investments.. and I am not even sure if I recommend getting into other investments, unless you already have them and some employers do not even have matching funds for their 401ks.. which that might cause incentives NOT to invest into 401ks.
I get the sense that you might not have had given enough information.. because when I overallocated into bitcoin from 10% to 13.5%, I had not really realized that I had gotten to 10%, and I thought that 10% would be a good target, but the BTC price stayed down for another year, and I was not exactly killing myself or causing too much extra stress on my finances or psychology by continuing to invest into BTC - but still everyone is different in terms of how solid is their cashflow. .and whether they have their emergency fund (their finances) in decent order in order to continue to buy BTC even though maybe your BTC portfolio might not be exactly profitable at the then current time, and your friends might already be speculating that you have too much into bitcoin (to the extent that any of them know much about your financial circumstances).
And if you end up getting "overallocated" in accordance with your definition, what is that going to achieve? it potentially gets you to fuck you status more rapidly? or does it just give you more options if the BTC price ends up going up, then you feel as if it might be easier for you to shave off some profits from the BTC without feeling guilty about selling some of it?
Punchline. I need more info, and maybe you don't want to share.. which is fine also, but you are the one who asked the question.. and sure you might be able to provide more info without giving up too much OPsec... perhaps? perhaps?
