I got to a point in life that I feel very old and I have no patience for anything. I'l just enjoy my sugar free coffee and my home made keto chocolate chip cookies, while I'l see some more entertainment on youtube or torrents, and here ofc from time to time.

... Random rant and insults...
j So fuck off and don't read my post. Who you think you are, that you can "order" here someone to leave the board. Someone describe to me the situation without any insult. But Big Jay Jay have to begin a rant 10h after I posted my stuff and someone gave a good explanation to it. Without any insult. What is wrong with you, I have to ask. Did you have some anger issues? Seek help and try not to insult people here. Btw maybe you said something important, but I stop reading after the first insult. So your rant went into nothing. Or did you wanted to address other people's with that? Maybe you get some credit for insulting others, don't know, but your Bla Bla didn't reach me, because you have no control over you emotions. I

I used to watch the prices of wallpaper vs the size of a dollar. I figured that once the dollar was cheaper than the wallpaper I'd wallpaper one of my rooms with dollars.
What kind of wallpaper are you looking at? Paint might actually be cheaper plus comes in all sorts of colors. Wallpaper, you have to glue it to the wall and then it comes off eventually unless you use super glue or epoxy or something. As for how long one should HODL, the answer so far is 1335 days. How long do you have to hold Bitcoin to make a 100% sure profit? According to my analysis it is 1335 days or 3 years and 8 months. This is from someone who took price data for bitcoin and checked what is the longest from top peak to when it went over. So anyone who has HODL'd about 4 years, no matter when they bought it, would be in profit.

the combination of the best performing asset in the history of finance being also the by far most volatile asset in history is a heavy weight to lift. we are not specially trained, hardened professional traders with balls of steel. most of us are regular guys who would have never chosen becoming traders. with selling the entire stash being just a mouseclick away, hodling btc is like trading - you choose not to sell, every new moment, every new day, every new wave of FUD.
We had no choice but to grow balls of steel ourselves. when your life savings can literally evaporate overnight, getting up in the morning, checking the price would be hyper stressful for a someone not used to it. it became routine for us. but it takes time for those balls to harden. and sometimes, for example when reaching a certain threshold money figure like $100 000 or even 1mio, even seasoned btc hodlers can experience high stress levels again.
I definitely recommend taking a little profit and treating yourself now and again. Not too much cause it hurts when the price goes up and the toy you bought for $50 would have got you $500 or even $5000 (though this in itself is good training to hodl) but it's definitely nice to know that even if everything went to 0, you'd still be ahead. Another thing is to make a plan and stick to it and remember that you can't predict the future, only make the most of probabilities. Also, you can't take it with you. Just take your initial investment back as that relieves any stress. Nothing beats Playing with House Money. ...but isn't that what our buddy mindrust did? He also said it was for peace of mind. LOL, No-one said taking it out in a panic is the way to do it. Do it as close to a top as you feel comfortable with. Bawb is good at this just do it when he does. IIRC he was overexposed and was afraid of going into the red.

... no balls of steel or other 600watt histrionics needed to hodl bitcoin, the casino is in fiat.
... if you find it easier going to sleep in fiat than in btc you're doing it wrong and should get out of btc.
... fiat is the riskiest asset on the planet right now, that's why there are asset bubbles in a huge range of non-monetary assets, capital is fleeing fiat.
... the right thinking frame of mind here is how much fiat risk are you happy to leave in and play with in the fiat casino??
... are you feeling lucky? Think you can get the last chair when the music stops in the fiat casino?
... only leave in fiat what you are can afford to lose, that's where the most risk is today.

Fiat assets seem more risky than fiat, the stock market in particular. Yes there will be inflation (probably) to reduce the value of fiat somewhat, but looking at the size of the bubble, I don't see it being all eaten by inflation. So fiat will lose a few % a year, while the stock market could krach 30% or more quite easily.

To be fair, if Bitcoin gets to 1M, I may buy an expensive car with it:)

Of course this thought has also crossed my mind. But I feel like the fundamental landscape will make this hard. Demand for the asset would have to be dried up, and I have a hard time seeing that being the case right now.
Worth considering that public announcements have a tail effect as it takes people time to jump on, get exchange accounts, paychecks etc. Though the next big thing seems to be likely to be any stimulus that might materialize.

Why does he sold all his coins at the bottom? I can't get it even now. If you have a work and hobby, you can just "forget" about your coins. If it fail, in factnothing will change for you. Yeah, you will regret this all your life "Oh, i could sold it and bought new Cadillac for myself!". But what will be (in fact what already happened in mindrust case) if this will success? If you've sold at the bottom, you will regret your actions much stronger than in if it would fail.
Yes. If you have "a lot" of Bitcoin and it's all just stressful to you, sell 3/4 and put the other 1/4 on a cold wallet in a drawer somewhere. Use the cash wisely, have a good life and if things go well, you'll still end up with more wealth than you'll ever need. I really need the lockdownz to stop:
Where are you located? Lots of places lockdown isn't much of an issue at the moment. I'd be planning a long vacation in Florida if it was stressing me out. Fortunately, it's not too bad here (though we're in the middle of an ice storm right now). Yes. If you have "a lot" of Bitcoin and it's all just stressful to you, sell 3/4 and put the other 1/4 on a cold wallet in a drawer somewhere. Use the cash wisely, have a good life and if things go well, you'll still end up with more wealth than you'll ever need.
