I really enjoy talking with you my "Spanish" friend JJG, I like your elaborations and I want to meet you someday when I become a world citizen.
If you are merely referring to my screen name or languages that I speak, then "Spanish" might be fitting? I mostly speak American though... hahahahahaha.. and I learned Spanish later in life and while I was in college.
I am expecting to become more worldly in my travels in the near future. I would like to start in 2018 - but I am thinking that there could be some obstacles that cause some delays. I am currently engaging in some business negotiations that might allow me to free myself to a greater extent; however, many of us likely realize that the longer we live, the more likely that we might have gotten involved in various businesses relationships or acquired other life complications that don't allow as much mobility as we may have had in our younger years.
Yes. It looks like it took a team to come up with that list of 12 bitcoin developments to watch in the coming year. Likely none of the developments are going to have any kind of straight line in their development, but I appreciate seeing them all in one place in order to ponder them.
Yes, those are 14 great tweets that can provide some grounding, and assistance to folks who have already accumulated a decent stash of bitcoin, and also to consider that cashing out a decent amount of profits can be decent for protecting from the possible downside and even diversification of some profits can also be provide additional grounding.
It is a bit funny (or not so funny) that I had felt much more prepared in our more recent 43% correction from $19,666 to $11,160, as compared with our mid-September 40% correction from $4,980 down to $2,970. This time, I have my buy orders set down to $2k, which allows for a $90% correction. Personally, I believe that it is not too likely that we would have an additional correction at this time before we continue UP past the $19,666 all time high -and even if we do, gosh, a 65% correction would likely be on the outside scenarios, but in any event my portfolio remains prepared in a seemingly overkill kind of way for 90%.
Now, if we do experience a blow off top that ends up symbolizing the end of this particular bull market, then maybe we would have to see how far such a blow off top would bring us, even though the market seems to continue to engage in some self-corrections that both make a blow off top less likely at these prices and allow for buying support to catch up... .
Based on BTC price appreciation, as I already mentioned, and my ongoing existing practice of continuing to sell BTC on the way up and buy BTC on the way down, I personally feel sufficiently divested in terms of preparation for either upwards or downwards price movements, even accounting for a variety of possible BTC price movement scenarios...
No worries about doxing me, all what I can say about my wealth is that it's fairly good but still not what I dream about, I'm waiting for the day where we have worldwide banks open bitcoin savings accounts, then I will be set free, currently I will be living from the forks and an 0.5 BTC hold aside which I will liquidate at $100K and throw it into an savings certificate.
Well, yeah, we already know a few things about bitcoin. 1) There are abilities to keep BTC wealth private and separate so no one can know about it, 2) there are already abilities to access bitcoin from nearly anywhere in the world and 3) there are ongoing developments and ways to cash out, and even worse case scenarios, there are services like Local bitcoins and paxful that allow you to connect with others and make direct transactions, if needed. We may not need to have anyone hold or BTC or even to cash out of BTC completely in order to enjoy some of the already existing services that are available.
Regarding money buying/causing happiness, although it's true to an far extent but still, with money happiness is not fully achievable and it's not 100% guaranteed. Ask me about loneliness and to be alone only with your solitude, sharing all your wanna-be moments with air surrounding me.
I guess I had been getting a bit elated about my own situation, and thinking that you had accumulated a decent stash too. People who entered into bitcoin a while back have considerable advantages over those people who are now entering, and there do seem to be quite a few folks currently entering, and they are paying more than 40x for some of their coins, as compared to what we had paid for some of our coins. I mean, I acquired coins all the way down the spectrum from $1,200, and all the way down to $183. Before I started trading my cost per coin was around $500 per coin, and even that kind of average is around 30x cheaper than the current prices.
I'm a believer that the more your interact and know people the more you respect, love and be loyal to your dog but still, living ONLY for yourself is a suicidal idea and nobody will understand what I'm saying unless he/she is in my shoes, got it now why I enjoy talking with you, because I feel I'm not alone.
Dogs can be quite wonderful, and even some of the meaner ones can become lovey dovey. Yeah, peeps can be a bit more tricky, and no matter what it is nice to be able to figure out ways to develop various kinds of connections with a variety of people, whether they be in real life or over the interwebs. We can learn and we can share, but sometimes we also have to learn how to set limits on either people who are toxic, negative or zapping away our energy, loves and enthusiasms. tough choices sometimes, and life is not very long to be able to figure all of this out and which relationships are worth pursuing.
Regarding jobs, my job salary per month in bitcoins now is 0.007060 BTC, I don't know if you will LOL hard and ROFL or just keep staring at the screen with your jaws dropping
Well, o.k. Maybe I am a spoiled little brat in regards to my past salaries and what was available to me in order to be able to buy bitcoin with the savings that I had accumulated through the years. I had nearly 30 years of investing in various traditional assets, and attempting to live with my means in order to attempt to use extra monies for investing. Therefore, I also had nearly 30 years of investing in other kinds of assets before I discovered bitcoin and began to get involved in learning about bitcoin. Some of my previous investments were then ported over to bitcoin.
I would imagine that you are not earning your money in terms of bitcoin, so 3.5 years ago, you could buy more bitcoin with your current salary, and maybe even you were able to acquire a few.. but perhaps not as many as I had presumed to be within your personal budget.
Bitcoin is not only our generation opportunity, it's our lifetime opportunity to be set free from the prison we are in from many aspects.
Actually that seems be true, once you are able to recognize bitcoin as an investment vehicle with considerable ongoing upwards price potentials. Once you recognize that, then you can take whatever budget you have and allocate an amount that is reasonable and appropriate to your personal situation.
On a side note regarding arrogance, what goes around, comes around, trust me. Most probably you are rich due to your inner good intentions, have pure intentions because of those, you are what you are now.
I do think that each of us sometimes do need to reflect on our own actions, and surely there can be a combination of luck and preparation and opportunity involved. I really believe that there are a lot of people who are rich that do not have either good intentions nor good ways that they have acquired such wealth, but ultimately, there is only so much comparing and contrasting of self with others that is productive, and in the end each of us will have differing circumstances that brings us to our current status, and I am not sure how much weight I would attribute to carma, as compared to a variety of other factors, including luck, preparation and opportunities.
Always be grounded and kind my brother and pray to God for what you've now and think about homeless people in this winter, try to go out and feel the weather and tell me more about your feelings, we are extremely blessed from God my brother, believe me.
Sounds like I am not anywhere near as religious as you; however, I do agree that there are wonders in nature and there are wonders in various aspects of the world that goes beyond bitcoin. Sometimes various joys and interactions can come from interactions with nature, with animals or with people, and I agree that sometimes stepping away from the computer for a while can help with some of the experiences and reflections on such. I probably will not bring too much of those kinds of seemingly personal discussions to this thread, though.
