How Long Will You Wait for $10,000?

Merry Christmas...possibly Kwanza    weeeee

[gembitz]

I have mixed feelings about the rise. I locked in my retirement at a lower price. So now I'm not "as rich" as I could be. Best to stop thinking about the "what ifs" and just be happy. Strange feeling though.

Wow, I think I missed reading when you "locked your retirement" already. I remember you had plans about doing it soon, but not that you did it.

Anyway, I am sure you still have some sizeable BTC stash and, having already locked enough out of it to secure your retirement, you can keep enjoying the benefit of whatever price BTC reaches in the long term without feeling the pressure of having to "lock profits" anymore.

We all have those remorses about how we could have bought way more at different moments in the past... but things are just how they are, and we should be thankful for our "luck".

Also, very few had the balls you had to sell a house and put it all on Bitcoin as you did. I guess, from most people here, you are of the ones that less remorses should have about their action regarding his Bitcoin investment.

sell the farm ... told youes weeee

I really feel bad for some of the later comers to BTC (e.g. South Korean and Japanese from the legalization as payment this year).  

BTC is now at $5,700.00 on Bithumb!!  Previously they believed Roger Ver's hype and led the way up in BCH volume and price.  BTC hardly had any volume there, it serves more as a reference price, since ALT are quoted in BTC.  Occasionally they pump Ripple and ETH.  But now in the past few days, volume is mostly in BTC.  There is real FOMO as they realize that they had the wrong crypto all along.

Am I right in thinking Japan also took the brunt of the Goxxing? Or was that just an accident of geography?

I think the BTC community took the brunt of goxxing.  The legalization and opening of numerous exchanges really make it mainstream and put "Mrs. Watanabe" into the market.  But South Korean are really the most aggressive one when it comes to trading, at least in terms of volume and leading the charge higher in various cryptos.

This is great, thanks.

right?  took me a while to figure it out...was putting off all the KYC AML bullshit but the coinbase fees were eating me alive.  I finally got up the gumption to jump through the hoops and...there weren't any...

[Torque]

Oh no...not 100%. Maybe half.

Oh phew. I misread what you said. That's good news. Are you near retirement age?

Nah. The victims were almost all non japanese.

Hi Jamie you criminal bastard, btc is going to rip you a free one.

Quoting for posterity.

Retirement isn't an age, it's a crypto balance...

It's a hobby for me so, yeah, with smaller amounts their fees just kill my profits.

This is good news for hobby traders like me.

I'm holding some there in the Vault for the next 3 airdrops.

Let them figure out all the new wallets.

I can't even even.

The world wants what you got, hombre.

[bitserve]

$5,500 USD/BTC incoming.

I can't even even.

I have mixed feelings between happiness and astonishment... but then I do realize it's "only" a 13% and I should already be used to it.

[gembitz]

$5,500 USD/BTC incoming.

I can't even even.

told you ~ $10,000 new target #kaboom

[Torque]

I can remember a time when just seeing $1K again was like a dream.

But looking back in the grand scheme of things, it really wasn't that long to wait.

That's what gets me excited about what will happen in the next 4 years.

[Bitcoinaire]

Hold those bitcoins tight because there will only be 21 million coins in a world with 7.6 billion people. And when you account for lost coins, even less.

[Heater]

The walls from here on are small AF. Hodl on tight.

[Punisher1314]

5500$ broken. 75kk$ bids vs 1500BTC asks, bitstamp. LOL

[Torque]

Where the fuck is all this money coming from ?!??

I think it might be swap positions through LedgerX. They will be in btc only.
