In a few years people will look back at the price of $68xx & be depressed at selling in that price range. Please fellow HODLERS, don’t sell at this pathetic price - DON’T BE A GREG!![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FHg2vbWP%2F499-BF10-A-07-DD-4-BCD-AAD5-FA23-F2-BB5-C8-D.jpg&t=665&c=DRIP-zN95FjTCw) Whats more, If he had held on to them till today he would be getting close to $12,000,000 Something to think about guys.

Hardly doubt that someone who sold @0.30 would have HODLED on the way from 0.31 to 20,000 and back. This is why this kind of "what if had I bought BTC in 2010" are just worthless speculation.

At least hold on to some of it. Why sell everything? Stagger your sell positions for all eventualities.

Hardly doubt that someone who sold @0.30 would have HODLED on the way from 0.31 to 20,000 and back. This is why this kind of "what if had I bought BTC in 2010" are just worthless speculation. I agree that if someone is not a hardened holder it doesn't matter when he buys. He can sell anytime with a profit<100% or even without profit like mindrust. But if someone enters before 2016 and learns from his mistakes, he could make at least 10 fold profit waiting maximum 2 years. Now the new holders like me who entered in 2017 at prices around $4.4k, have a mere 50% profit. This is still beyond most of the stocks can provide, but it is not to be compared with 10 fold, not to speak 100 fold profits, which one could realize if the buy price was $200 in 2015 and the sell price $20K in December 2017. And there were much more dramatic crashes in the last 3 years than any time interval before that. So for the new holders it is becoming increasingly difficult both in terms of time and mental resilience to the crashes. I will be waiting for at least 10 fold profit, i.e., prices above $40K, but I realize that I will have to wait at least 1 more year for that. More probably 2-3 years and less probable (but still possible) more than 3 years. So at the end we compare 100 fold profits for 2 years with 10 fold profit for >5 years. I am not saying that everyone made that profit, but with the best decisions in both eras, these are the numbers.

Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #94 is out. Most important develpment in my humble opinion: BTCPay adds support for sending and receiving payjoined payments: payjoin is a protocol that increases the privacy of Bitcoin payments by including inputs from both the spender and the receiver in an onchain transaction. This prevents an outside observer examining block chain data from assuming all inputs in that transaction belong to the same user (e.g.1). If a significant number of people use payjoin, this makes the common input heuristic used by block chain analysts much less reliable, improving privacy for even Bitcoin users who aren’t using payjoin.
This week, BTCPay announced the release of version 1.0.4.0 which includes an implementation of payjoin support for both receiving payments in payment processor mode and sending them using BTCPay’s internal wallet. For details on using the protocol, see their user guide. For technical details on their implementation, see their specification or the issue where future improvements are being actively discussed. For this change to have the maximum impact, other popular wallets need to implement support for creating compatible payjoin payments.
What is a Payjoin? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F16%2Fblobf978773896edffdb.jpeg&t=665&c=emRJX9shVY1W8A) Why it is important ? Privacy, a scarce resource largely unappreciated. Again, a brush up on why we should be all concerned about privacy. A Treatise On Bitcoin And Privacy Part 1: A Match Made In The Whitepaper How one’s focus can shift in just two weeks! While today everybody in the Bitcoin space seems more concerned with price fluctuations in response to the global financial panic (understandably so), it’s important to remember perennial issues that never go away, like the importance of maintaining your privacy when you transact in bitcoin. Throughout this month especially, we’ve been hearing reports of KYC/AML-compliant exchanges freezing user accounts due to suspected use of CoinJoin software (more on that later), followed by yet another case of a famous and respected early Bitcoin proponent promoting his new illiquid altcoin as something that “will replace Bitcoin, which isn’t private enough!”
If you want to take a short break from global pandemics, financial meltdowns and price volatility, here’s an attempt at analyzing claims, facts and context of this latest “Bitcoin drama.” To begin with, in Part 1 of this two-part series, we’ll start by looking at the fundamental relationship between Bitcoin and privacy by going back to the beginning with the whitepaper. Then, in Part 2, we’ll focus on some the ways that Bitcoin privacy is being maintained and improved upon — and strike down a few “red herrings.”
A Treatise On Bitcoin And Privacy Part 2: Don’t Be Misled By Red HerringsIn Part One of this treatise, we examined the fundamental relationship between Bitcoin and privacy by going back to the beginning with the whitepaper. In spite of some excellent privacy preserving options that have been available to users since those early days, we seem to have taken a few wrong turns. But to fix it, in order to make Bitcoin’s privacy “great again,” we must be able to distinguish between real privacy and red herrings that can only lead us further off the path.

I’ll never sell my entire stash, I think it’s important to try & keep even 10% of your stash for a long, long time. I’m not going to make any apologies for selling about half if we go north of $50,000 per coin though. I didn’t sell anything during the last big bull run & I do regret it a little. I won’t make the same mistake this time, I’m 100% going to take life changing money out this time.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Missed half a week due to a serious internet outage compounded by covid. Seems there was a problem with a tower out of town and the highway shutdown caused a serious delay in getting it repaired. After a couple of days dude got his (our village's) network connected to Whatsapp so we could send messages and make calls but couldn't access websites or email. No news, weather, Youtube or Bitcointalk. It reminded me of New York during 9/11 when the only communication people had was with Blackberries. Full internet service was restored late yesterday. I see we had a dip down under $7k while I was incommunicado but it's bounced back up... currently $7082USD/$10005CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Could be worse. Go Bitcoin go. Chinese New Year in 2021 is the year of the Ox (effectively a bull, right!)
Actually an ox (or steer) is a former bull. We won't mention any names.
