Out of merits for Me I’m afraid. Great outlook on life. Remember those of us that work should work to live and not live to work.

I don't think it's a good idea to work to live. Instead, try to find what you enjoy the most out of the things that align with your abilities and potential and then seek to make a career out of it. That way you will neither become complacent (and thus ultimately unhappy and unfulfilled) if you make it "big" (in financial terms), and won't be stuck doing something you hate for money for the rest of your life either.

I was there and was lucky enough to be one of the few that read the post a few minutes after GameKyuubi posted his famous "HODL" post.   It was awesome.  He was getting flack from the community for the misspelling.  
It created quite a big splash back then.   I always thought he/she should have trademarked the HODL.  I bet he still could.  Probably woudl make more money than his crypto....  well... he is a Hoddler, so maybe crypto would actually come out ahead.

Great memories.   Someday we will all look back and say "remember when 2018 began and we all were crapping our drawers with the big correction scare? - good thing we HODDLED thru it"

J. Christopher Giancarlo describes HODL in the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking  ... HODL On For Dear Life - ɃItcoin .... His niece is a HODLer!

More and more praises for Bitcoin:

This guy made my day!  

I thought HODL was just a typo error meaning HOLD from this forum a few years ago.  Not sure where he got Hold On For Dear Life from?

This is the drunken post where GameKyuubi first made the famous I AM HODLING typo for that thread's title. GameKyuubi has been sent 162 merit points for it already.

I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time.  Still wrong.  w/e.  GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.  It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER.  Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro.  Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what?  I'm not part of that group.  When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~!  Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT.  NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD.  I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU.  You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob.  The people inbetween hold.  In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

Why does that scare you? Did you sell at the bottom instead of hodling?

[svdleer]

Hmm. Almost 1K down again. Still a bulltrap possible?

Too soon to tell. It may be, but it may also be some locally regular pattern.

No. Im just hoping that was the bottom. Every group of red candles has me nervous atmo

The shorter term trend has to do battle with the longer term trends.    The longer the dates of the trend, the more momentum it has and its a larger speedbump to any recovery such as the one you outline.

I usually take 4hr bars as the lowest serious time frame to consider movements in price.   The reason being the whole world fits into 4 hours, every section of the globe roughly overlaps each other by these 6x 4hr periods of trading and theres a new spirit within each one.   
Every part of the globe wakes up and has a reaction to the price and news and thats kinda more visible within each 4 hour time period.

UPDATE     AND GOOD LUCK.

Things are looking better again - specialy for newcomers/investers and so on
Little bit of green and news is getting bullish again
So fingers crossed for going into a very bright 2018/ future
My sails are wide open too take much wind and too go in full ocean or Just on the CCMF train

So within short time somebody’s gonna collect them .25 big ones or eather mid-longterm .....?

My thoughts on this pullback was that the rise is faster then the recovery.   So my march date I was probably accounting for some pullback but not for the longer time to wind back up.   Also it may go quiet in Chinese new year, so a bit sideways more then a breakout just my guess.

The side profile of Ted Baxter is an added plus.

[Elwar]

It appears that with the amount of volume that came along with the $6k low it is definitely a solid floor. A floor that will rise over time, as bitcoin tends to do.

If that's the lowest it goes from here on out I'd be quite pleased even if we're far down from the ATH.

wait who?
thought it was Bitcoin Dad Jamie Dimon

[Aqualung89]

I can now say that I am not sure about this issue as the rise can continue after that. But for me, a decline will continue and I think Bitcoin will continue to rise later.
