China was st for going down again, support was very thin.

So I have a doubt... The FinCen claims Casascius selling the coins makes him an unregistered “money transmitter”.

If Casascius were to sell the coins with just the set of keys, but no BTC in them, would he be completely ok ?

I'm sure the Trezor guys won't be labeled a "money transmitter" right? It's like selling an ipod or whatnot..

I don't think I've experienced as many occasions for regret during my entire rather long life, as I did during the last month.

Just take your pick for the day:

I should have sold earlier/later.
I shouldn't have sold.
I should have bought earlier/later.
I shouldn't have bought.
I should have gone all in.
I should have been all out.
I should have been 50/50.
I should have placed a bid beforehand.
I should have placed that bit just a bit higher/lower.
I should have spread the bids.
I should have placed just one big bid.

Need to ponder over it. Maybe I am expecting too much from myself. I think there is also a healthy amount of greed at work. This often makes me second-guess my decisions and procrastinate a buy/sell a little bit longer, waiting for that last little spike/dip, or to place bids just a little too far out of reach of to think that I can place bids later, when I am sure that the price is were I want it to be.

At least I managed to decouple myself from fear earlier, and it helped a lot. I did a small botched sell on the way up, and it looks botched in the current situation. Before I would have rushed to undo it at a loss. Now I'll wait and see. From my experience almost all prices get visited at least twice. But I need to place a realistic bid, for now it's greed on the emotional termination list.

Stop thinking too much about regrets mate, it won't bring you anywhere. We could all be multi millionaires if there's no regrets, you can't make it right each time, nobody can't.

Nothing hurts more than when your intuition told you to sell at a certain price, and you ignored it.

China is in no man zone, 200-300 coins can move it up and down 10-15%,

Next bottom will be in the $250-$300 range. Then rebound up to $500-ish. Finally, crash down to $100-$150 before end of year.

Very much this. If you are serious, put a fraction of a BTC aside to trade or just trade on paper. You will soon see if you would have called all that correctly. If you would have, you have something to go forward with. If not, you will soon see that everything becomes easier with hindsight and if we had that kind of prescience, we could just go to a casino and become millionaires playing at roulette.

Yep. likely it also told you to buy/sell at a bunch of other times also that would have been bad trades but you don't remember those in the same way.

Thanks for the words of support.

Only time will tell if I take anything from analysing these emotions, but I think that making oneself aware of them is the first step in bringing ones emotions under control and thus making better decisions.
