I know that jbreher has a lot of respect and sympathy for members like jonoiv,
Not so much as I have respect for the truth. My support of jonoiv is to the effect that some here were repeatedly attacking not him/her, but a straw man misrepresentation of him/her.
Huh? there is hardly any redeeming aspects to how jonoiv was behaving, and sure sometimes some of the responses to him needed to be exaggerated to make the point.
Jonoiv has come in with his various arrogant know it all assertions on a number of occassions, including when he sold his whole BTC stash (less than .5BTC or whatever mediocre amount) around $6k...during the April to June 2109 run-up.. so he was arguing for months about how inevitably the BTC price was going much lower and even suggesting $2k as inevitable or whatever...
He even had a chance to redeem himself around the March 12 crash, and so I stayed quiet for a bit while I thought that jonoiv might end up kind of turning out to have been able to redeem his position.. and even though he would NOT have appeared to be a genius, he would have appeared to be less dumb.
Instead of redeeming part or all of his position around the March 12 crash, he pulled asserted a position that was similar to mindrust.. in essence waiting for more down, and mindrust gets less bashing because mindrust has been showing himself to be a lot more genuine, and jonoiv had ongoingly been taking ridiculous and outrageous positions. How can anyone become richie if they are continuing to play all or nothing games.
One of the redeeming aspects about yourself, jbreher, is that even you seem to place a certain importance in terms of exercising incrementalism, and maybe that is part of the reason that we have been retaining such buddiness.. because we agree on placing a certain high amount of value on that aspect of dealing with what seems to be inevitable volatility risk in bitcoin.
Sure, maybe some of my attempts at beating up jonoiv might go a bit over the top, but not only his arrogance deserves such beatings, but also his nearly complete lack of appreciation for incrementalism. I don't see any need to be sympathetic to that approach, even though there do seem to be some guys here that are better able to deal with some of their lack of abilities/will power to employ incrementalism tactics, but some of the guys here end up getting forced into some kinds of incrementalism because they go "all in" at various points that are a bit too much gambling.. but at least they do not leverage and they are only using cash that they can afford to lose in the event that the BTC price ends up going to zero... so their frequent "all in" ends up playing out as a kind of DCA, even though they don't necessarily appreciate that they are engaging in a kind of DCA tactic. I am sometimes lecturing against that kind of an approach, too, but I don't have to be so imposing on that kind of approach because it is way less arrogant and does not really end up in various kinds of selling too much too soon, like the jonoiv approach has frequently demonstrated.
The rest of your post is just too silly to bother responding to.
I may have made some jokes, but in essence I am largely trying to be nice to you, even though some of your character has come into question at various times for your ongoing inclinations to argue BIG BLOCKER nonsense... so how much of a joke is that? Not a whole lot in my opinion.. even though I have been trying to have a wee bit of fun with it.
Seems to me that I am trying to be somewhat nice about the whole thing, but I might be deluding myself, too.... and surely my interaction with you in any kind of way might cause some members to become more pissed off at me for being too nice to you..and by even recognizing any of your points... so maybe you consider some parts of my interactions with you as "silly," when I believe that I am merely attempting to find a less stressful way of making certain serious points responsive to whatever points that you may have made... maybe even hoping that you might be able to come around someday... to tone down with some of your devolutions into misleading nonsense... perhaps? Perhaps? I have said that I have a lot of doubts, so it would not be right to me to concede in regards to some of your points.. you know what I mean?
