to invest in bitcoin for him in early March, which turned out to be awful timing

Yeah, I've also "bought the dip" in early March.

Calm your tits ChuckBuck

Yes, I still watched my money go down calmly till now

I see you've removed your hat and you're looking for Fiat.
This one's more suitable for you today.

No no, I didn't give up my hat, nor did I looking for fiat, don't get me wrong, I just read some news and found that everything was going down, I was watching my money die in bitcoin, quite shocked when I woke up 

Not buying not selling... just HODLing...

Yes, it was the damn thing I did when it was 8k a few days ago, and look what we have right now 

[JayJuanGee]

Let's not judge guys... you don't know peoples financial positions or tolerance to financial stress either. It's been... it's been a day. Tomorrow will come and the world will keep on spinning. I'm sure in the long term we go up but at the moment it's all pretty crazy

Well, yeah, there are a variety of ways to attempt to recover from a mistake, but most of the time, we should not be playing around with all or nothing tactics.. those are both rookie mistakes and getting too greedy mistakes.

Sure, mindrust mentioned that he was overinvested on several occasions, but that really means acting way the fuck before the bottom (yeah, I know that we do not know when the bottom is going to be, but still we have to try to be reasonable about these matters and try to stick to a prudent plan, even during times that it might be quite uncomfortable.... even I was uncomfortable after we fell below $5,500... and furthermore, we fell a whole fucking $1,700-ish after that... so, yeah, holy fucking shit... we gotta be ready for these kinds of possibilities, even though they are outrageous.

Italy has a 3.5% mortality rate with one of the best health systems in the world.  It’s not the fucking flu.

Dude. 15113 infected, 1016 deaths, 1258 recovered. That's either 45% or 27% depending how you prefer to calculate it. Yeah, not the fucking flu.

I agree with HM that its not a common thing atm, I think it will be a common thing in the future and people will be waaaaaay more relaxed when a vaccin is out for easy buying

Viruses mutate. An effective vaccine is highly unlikely.

If the idea is there already that there is a vaccin is already enough, alright later on the virus will mutate, but now when it’s contained they will keep working for new vaccines and not like when SARS was contained to stop working on it...

There are the mutations, there are the anti-vaccinists, there are careless people (always!) so I'd be also highly focused on the development of antiviral drugs designed to cure/kill this nasty little thing.

[Ibian]

so how does this effect the halvening is my q

The halvening is cancelled.

It can't be contained. That's why this is the big one. Everyone is going to get it, and if the mutation rate is anything like just the flu bro, then we could end up with a yearly recurring global pandemic.

OK, HUG!
No homo

Thank you Arrie.
mindrust needs one too. #nohomo

Help me out.

Please ignore me, but you did ask.
The main goal is to get most of your coins back at the price you sold them or better.

But first and most importantly, go to sleep.
Hit yourself with a bat if necessary.

Yeah, I've also "bought the dip" in early March.

So you should invest more now, to lower your break even point.

If no one buys the price won't rise up.

right - hodl is such fkcud up

only real scale & use can fix bitcoin

- finally:

hodl: no use case

Did you see  masterluc's last episode? "The music will fade."

I trust that guy 's TA. I really wanted to stay in the game but it wasn't possible for me.

I hope masterluc was a huge retarded moron and you all make great returns. I have serious suspicions now. Like I said I am not even sure if want to get back in at this point. Mind is rusty.

Fuck masterluc.  You gotta prepare for both up and down, and don't get too reliant on TA of that fucktwat.. or even your own TA... You just gotta prepare for both price directions.. and who fucking care what the TA says.. it is a mere probability that might end up being wrong, and frequently is wrong.. especially in the short term and frequently in the extreme BTC price movements, too.

I sometimes get intuitions about the price direction and I might say them, but my buy orders and my psychology do not rely at all on whether those price directions come true.. because I constantly attempt to prepare for either price direction and also to try to set my orders and my allocations in such a way that I am not emotionally or financially attached to either price direction.

I hope you figure out a way, mindrust.  Sure, maybe you have to take a bit of a loss, but you gotta figure out some reasonable balance.

I am not trying to be a hardass on you, and of course, you have to ultimately decide for yourself.  At the same time, you know that you sleep much better in BTC than in fiat, yet you have to find a balance that works for you too, even during stressful times.

yeah, fuck it.  I was trying to get some sleep too, and then the BTC price dropped more than $1,000 in a short period of time.  I had to stop what I was doing, and I even had to change some things in my schedule, and yeah it was inconvenient and a bit stressful to get my orders set properly...   Then I felt much better after I had them all set.. then I did a couple of other things, and then fuck again.. the price dropped another large amount... so yeah, sometimes it is stressful and inconvenient until you get back into balance and you can set your orders or your allocation to a comfortable level.. but all of us know, including you, that all or nothing is not what you are trying to achieve, even though you still seem to value your wealth too much in dollars (which means that you are thinking way the fuck too much in terms of the short term rather than in the longer term).

I agree with you guy.
If Laszlo had never bought his pizza 10 000 btc, Bitcoin would still worth nothing at all.

There is no way I can carry that much risk on crypto again.

Getting the coins back is not an option anymore. (I'd be down like 1-1.5btc from these prices.) I'd rather start DCA'ing and start building from zero.

Hitting a bat is a solid advice though.

you know that you sleep much better in BTC than in fiat,

Problem is I couldn't. My problem was buying too many dips recently. I was casually throwing $5k's. That was a huge mistake and was the main panic trigger for me.

Combined with that, what we just witnessed never happened before in the history of crypto If I am not wrong.

I have enough beer for the night, I think.. Most of a 30 pack..

I told my mom to stock up on food, she finally listened, and told me today that she bought 5 cases of beer to last a little while so she doesn't have to go to town..

Anyone else feel like getting blackout drunk?

You should stick with cookies and milk. 

You will thank me later.   

Don't mind cookies and milk... Your laddering!

I need to know FFS!

I got ya.. I got ya...

Frequently, there are little mistakes, here and there... and slip ups .. so I had a couple of little slip ups, and I am just not going to say.. and one of them is still hopefully going to resolve itself.. after I tweaked it a bit to attempt to make up for my own stupid-ass oversight error.. which I kind of hate to detail.. but just that I got one digit off, and ended up causing the order NOT to fill and then I did not notice until the price moved away from it.. and it is much better for me if the god damned thing would have filled like it was supposed to have done... hahahahaha.. 1st world problems.   .

Easy to say, but I won't have funds to invest for at least one more month 

[Bossian]

To keep things very simple, we had:

-December 2017: all time high 19.5k
-January 2019: low @ circa 3k
-June 2019: lower high @ 13.7k
-December 2019: higher low @ 6.4k
-February 2020: lower high @ 10.5k (very crucial price, the bulls will buy massively if we break above)
-March 2020: lower low 4k compared to December 2019, but higher low compared to January 2019

What is worrying in this trend is the constant lower highs (19.5k - 13.7k - 10.5k), this also means we should see at least another bounce (which would be a lower high again) at some stage, around 6.4k at least.

If I could invest big money (sadly my money is stuck at Epayments right now) I would buy a lot of Bitcoin to sell at 6.4k eventually (conservative approach).

What I also think is possible is to see a lower low compared to January 2019 which would mean 1k to 2.5k area (scary but possible). But if you are mentally strong it doesn't matter, we should see 6.4k again.

WO is for times like these.
Woke up in the middle of the shit-storm, and as I had used all my available fiat earlier on, I started reading slowly for a change.

Disappointed with mindrust.
Admired Lambie & JJG.
Noticed jonoiv going long, and that peonminer sucking dicks on sale.
Closely following every post.

Hopefully we've now had our fucking bottom.
What a night.

Beautiful day though.
Good morning motherfuckers.

edit: HUG ME

You guys have to stop writing so much, though.

I remember the good ole days when there were not too many peeps posting besides myself... so it was easier for me to keep up.. because of course, I did not feel any kind of need to read my own posts. 

Not sure if there is any kind of exact solution, though because more posts do tend to come during more volatile price periods.

[mindrust]

1k to 2.5k

I'd buy back from $3k.
