Starting to look like that....all the friends and relatives are 'piling on' that I am an Idiot..and that I should sell, sell, sell it all!
Friends and family in BTC bear market: "I hear bitcoin lost like 90% and is definitely going to die now. I assume you sold yours already?" *Smug smile*
Friends and family in BTC bull market: "Where can I buy that ethernium?"
Yeah, just annoyed..big whoop...I have a 35k lifestyle now if I worked/took my regular investments/or just do what I'm doing with crypto until 66 years.
Just as a 'hoot' wanted to 'use crypto only' to get to that 66 year for full retire etc, before using traditional investments.....(what the heck it is a goal)
so I cave, say and dump all crypto now....my yearly income under traditional investments (assuming no 20% - 40% recession loss...my timing would likely suck)
I'd have after dumping all crypto to traditional investment 75k a year to blow w/o issue...I'd get a better car...maybe have the house sided rather than do it myself..build a garage.
...dress better....big whoop...no crypto fun, no risk, and danger, no intellectual challenge, no self-business to hover over ..no mining...no trading ... no HODL'ing
....back to watching 'the big bang theory' ....sigh...yech....at least no one can say in my group of folk...I'm not man'd up and have big brass ones..that view has died...
again, all my friends and family should be hoping I HODL and make a Will...if I did what they said NOW ..they'd likely get zip..and I'd look prettier to advertisers...
(then again ...bless their hearts maybe they really, really do think I'm an idiot... but still ....my risk to lifestyle is modest...at worse in all this...)
sheesh.....I know farmers doing the same damn thing I am now with the sanctions and trade war on pork/corn etc likely....they are buying bargain sale farm
equipment (using stored corn ..like we use coin) and hoping it changes next year...or from the farmer point of view there will be NEWER tractor on the farm
auction in 2019...if it don't work out for farming...no one in the area is telling them to sell the farm and go to Florida...they are presently doing
the same stupid punt and hail mary I am by HODL'ing crypto...... (kicks can down road....grrrrr)
(the dark side of the FUD is strong in 2018)
