You always make overly complicated to reply by splitting a single post into many paragraphs. Anyway, I will reply by numbering:
1) I am not the only person who does that,
2) It should not be overly complicated because it put the response right below the idea that is being responded to
3) it is probably more complicated and confusing to number like you did, because your response became separated from what you were responding to.
4) I am likely not going to stop how I respond because I think that it is more clear
5) Most of the time, I have no issue regarding how others respond because most of the time, I can a) figure out what they are saying and 2) determine from what they said the extent that I want to respond
1-) Basically agree.
o.k.
2-) I had some buying plans yeah, problem is that I am in a "stressful" IRL financial situation. My fiat reserves are not as spare as previously. So any buying plan got to be postponed or very well thought. I can afford to hodl, but buying more could end to be a reckless decision in MY current situation. Otherwise I would probably be buying.
Hey.. I can completely understand that sometimes there has to exist an adequate enough fiat cushion before there is enough comfort to buy.
I had been going through some non-buying for a while, and also selling below my preferred numbers because I had some cashflow issues and some expenses that could NOT be put off. In essence, I had taken some chances by NOT shaving off a bit of profits in the supra $6k territory, so I became inconvenienced by selling some coins below $6k.. It was a decently small portion of my total BTC investment (probably less than 10%, but could even be less than 5%, but I am NOT completely clear with the various ways that I could clarify the calculations regarding how I dealt with the whole cashflow situation). I was pretty happy with the spike down to $3,650 a couple of days ago that almost immediately bounced back up to $3,800, because it triggered some decent sized buybacks of mine that only became possible because BTC prices have been hovering down in this largely $3,400 to $4,200 price arena for so long and some of my cashflow is sorting itself out and giving me some adequate cushion to justify resetting a decent number of my buy orders.
Once I realise what my current capabilities exactly are I will reevaluate my buying (with "fresh" deposits) plans.
That is what I am saying too, and part of the reasons for my inquiries is because reassessment can develop with the passage, but still might not justify buying BTC unless you are able to figure out a way that a cushion is sufficiently created... just like your assessments and intentions for possible reassessments seem to be allowing.
3-) Yes I could be buying in the way up even if it is a higher price. Two main reasons:
- It could be way more clear the uptrend will continue or the bottom is SURELY in (less downside risk).
- I could be in a better financial situation by that time so that I can reasonably "risk" more on crypto.
Another reason that could justify buying on the way UP rather than buying on the way DOWN is that if you are largely a HODLer that has taken losses on the previous DOWNwards price moves, when BTC prices go up, the whole value of your assets (most importantly bitcoin holdings) has gone up, and therefore, in some ways has caused a value cushion that gives you enough value to justify buying moar BTC.
