You mixed me with some other guy. My only account on this forum is alekad.

How do you feel about people of the Jewish faith?

Trump fires Yellen. BTC to the Moon!

The explosion was worth as much as $ 5,000, and now it does not have to be a target anymore, and it soon breaks a record.

You are walking along a path.

You notice a what appears to be a gold coin on the left side of the path, and an envelope on the right side of the path.

Which do you pick up first ?

I feel you want to catch me on something, bu it's ok. As far as I can pick up both I will chose envelope.

Yeah, not that I'm advocating that we pump the breaks for a bit, but, uhh, maybe we should consider... ah, nevermind.

Hacking and scams remain the top risk for Bitcoin holders. Exchanges that shut down or passwords stolen from devices can easily wipe out a person’s bitcoins. Moreover, governments and central banks from various countries are starting to impose limitations on the use of cryptocurrencies.

Digital coins clearly threaten the political and economic establishment, and the regulatory environment can quickly change with the stroke of a legislative pen. Banks and governments typically use familiar language in the media, such as the need to protect consumers from new risks.

We are hearing familiar talking points from politicians who are getting pressured from the banking lobby. It seems that the root cause of the status quo’s actions in 2017 is to protect fiat currencies and traditional financial interests. Competing digital coins represent a potential end to the government’s monopoly of the monetary system.

Yaay!

666 was hideously sticky. I suppose I could live with it clinging to 6666 but adding another 6 eventually sounds better.

Surely gold or any other traditional investments didn't have the ROI of BTC but...... maybe it contributed to the ROI of your Bitcoin stash.... How? Well, once you already have extracted/diversified enough into other assets (like gold) that you feel financially safe you can let your BTC roll without that much care than if you didn't.
My point is stable (bad performing) assets are another piece in the puzzle of financial safety. Or at least that's what I tend to think, but I like to hear more opinions about it.

Huh ? Wha ? The only way I'm going to get any "contribution" to my financials from liquidating my GLD holdings, will be a deduction to offset capital gains.

If an asset performs as badly as GLD has, for as long as it has, my strategy is to put it into something more aggressive. I'll be liquidating my GLD holdings this year, and reinvesting.

Any investment not likely to pull in greater than 8% a year bores me.

I've tried to be "responsible" by holding GLD for as long as I have on principle, but, fuck it. Life is too short.

Common BobLBL>>>>>> you know better than that.  

What bitserve is saying is that in time 1, you do not know for sure which assets are going to perform better or worse, and you are attempting in time 1 (hopefully?) to figure out ways to hedge your bets while at the same time hoping for the best possible performance.   Surely in time 2, you can see in retrospect which assets did better (and in this case it was bitcoin), but you did not know that in time 1, but your investment in gold in time 1, perhaps, allowed you to feel more willing to risk more into bitcoin because you had that hedge that was already in place.

 
Again, now in time 2, you have a new perspective about gold and you are reconsidering your previous assumptions...   Nothing wrong with that, but many of us likely realize that the world has changed somewhat because of bitcoin and also because of bitcoin's performance, not only on a personal level (because we happened to invest) but also on a perspectives level, concerning which assets (or asset classes) have better likelihoods to beat certain performance thresholds, such as greater than 8% as you mentioned that to be too low... hahahahahaha.. whatever.
