50-ish correction and still up X100-ish love to have the same feeling as The ancients ones...
Though pity of the boating-ish accident and the slow recovery of stashes, but in that case I bought the DIP as big as I could... which wasn't that big cause all of my FIAT went in the previous lost holdings, so what was I happy about???
It's like a riddle dude.
Maybe some of us will aim for getting our 0.21 BTC first, and then shoot for 1 BTC and then 2.1BTC.. etc etc..
I suppose we could frame our bitcoin accumulation goals in terms of satoshis.. nothing wrong with that.
We still seem to be early in the game if we are finding out about bitcoin, creating a stacking plan and then just doing our best to stack reasonably and maybe trying to preserve our capital too......I mean by attempting to NOT be losing our coins along the way.
And, gosh yes, there may be a bit of frustration if you have to start over (or mostly over) in terms of quantity of BTC, and sometimes we may even have to set up new exchanges, new wallets or new ways of attempting to interact with our bitcoin whether it is getting it, storing it and sometimes transacting with it.
I had a mostly no coiner ask me if he could get his coins directly from me, and I said that I do not mind; however, I was feeling a bit rusty in terms of which wallets to recommend to him for such direct interactions because I was considering making some of my own changes.. but he has not really pursued the matter and even seemed to become a bit nervous about having his own wallet.. and I even said that he could just get coins from exchanges too if that might be another option, but that would not be going through me.
Seems to me that he was thinking about going through me in terms of him giving me cash, and then my sending him bitcoins through an exchange wallet that he would set up.. maybe even thinking that he could save on fees or issues about maximums and stuff like that... I don't really know because sometimes peeps will kind of drift off if there are multiple conversations going on in a group and then start talking to someone else or some other weird transitions.
I did mention that I was totally open to whatever, but he could probably notice that he was getting nervous if there were technical aspects involved and even spending some time with him to help him to get oriented might make him uncomfortable.. but even the no coiners (or precoiners) have to take some kinds of actions at some point.
I cannot be pursuing such peeps around in terms of if they want my help.. but then maybe they are not really sure about what they want to do blah blah blah.... but they realize that the price is much higher than when they spoke with me about the matter a few years earlier.. blah blah blah.
By the way, our conversation was on Sunday and the BTC price was bouncing between $32k and $33k when we were having that conversation.. so I am not sure if subsequent price fluctuations are motivating him to some extent too in terms of subsequent hesitancies.
Many of us know that people seem to come up with all kinds of excuses about why to delay taking actual action... so any of us who are actually looking out for our own interests, trying to stay involved in the BTC space and also hopefully improving some of our own systems (including attempting to avoid future boating accidents) are likely going to be considerably ahead of the so many ongoing gun-shy and hesitant peeps out there.
