I'm somehow sure the price is going to flop soon and then rebound but I'm scared AF to move any of my coins to a stablecoin 'till it happens. So FML, I'm just gonna sit and watch the opportunity passing casually by me. I just imagine I'd sell at this point and wait for the flop while in the backend something huge is being prepped up similar to the El Salvador news, if not better. I know the FUD is insanely huge right now and this is precisely why I'm afraid to move anything, lol. Because hell, the price trend could literally swap from extreme FUD to extreme FOMO in a minute and I ain't gonna miss this one.
Do you guys feel different? My gut feeling usually doesn't get me wrong but my actions always do, lol.
I doubt that there are many guys here who are selling after a 56% correction, but sure some of them will do it, and let's see how it plays out for them.
Of course, peeps are going to feel nervous including asking their lil selfies: "why are we here?" and other seemingly existential questions/// or price dynamic questions.
Maybe some expression about rivers in Egypt? perhaps something to do with longness?
Just a little friendly ribbingI have heard that expression before, but it did NOT strike me right away just by referring to my like of rivers in Egypt....
Regarding the substantive point, sure sometimes any of us (including mere mortal your truly) can capture history in ways that might not be quite correct - but I am not sure if it is even helpful to quibble about particulars because there are some members who do not hesitate to overly outline their doom and gloom visions about bitcoin or its price or even seem to show that they are unprepared when the BTC price goes up because they were too busy waiting or hoping for down that ends up NOT happening. I think that you are fairly in such a camp, richie_t - even if I might not have been able to adequately grapple with the proper technicalities of how or when you made your negative proclamations...
In other words, when in doubt presume richie_t to be bitcoin naysaying, even if he is not.. shoot first and ask questions later.. at least in terms of some members... but anyhow, I have been trying to give you a chance frequently, but you would not be the kind of guy that I would want to rely upon if I were injured and stuck in the gutter and needed someone to drag me to safety while under enemy fire.. I would like to be pleasantly surprised, but such pleasant surprise feelings are not coming automatically, right?

@ JJG (various comments above sobre su tio)
First allow me to hedge my remark as I have not been able to keep up on all the recent pages here at W.O., you may have already explored this idea..
Why not just GIVE him outright some BTC gratis? You could give him $15 worth just as a gift for him to keep an eye on. Once he has the asset, he will likely want to monitor it for value. If he will not even bother to set up a BTC account on mobile (perhaps the easiest fastest way for a n00b), then just give him a paper wallet.
I have told variations of the story with this particular tio several times in this thread, but I had specifically given him $10 worth of bitcoin in 2014 when the BTC price was around $385. I did that through Circle, and they had a feature that you could claw back the gift in the event that the member had not opened their e-mail, which was the case for him, and I clawed it back in early 2016, but he contacted me in mid 2016 when BTC was around $750, and I agree to send him the same amount again, which was like $19-ish. He then bought $300 worth of Bitcoin through Circle and then sold all of his BTC in about mid-2017 (presumably receiving long term tax treatment) for around $3,800-ish.. so he would have made something like $1,800 in profits.. and I am pretty sure that he has been a no coiner ever since...
You could always ask him to send the $15 back to you in the future (he might if it moons)
Or
Send back the BTC (if he declines to send back the BTC if/when it reaches $150,000, then you can safely say that you won).
Just an idea for your consideration
I already know that I won, but only trying to be charitable to him in terms of providing information if he is willing to receive it, and he does not want no charity, because he is a self-made kind of guy who has some comforts in paying his fund manager to manage his funds that my uncle has lived off for 25 years-ish... .
EDIT: When I first entered Bitcoinlandia, someone I didn't even know gave me my first BTC. I myself have given small amounts away to strangers and friends.
I did give BTC away a lot (at least small quantities to a lot of people) in 2014, 2015 and 2016, but not so much in recent times... circle did make that easy.. and sure there are probably some other services that I could use .. .. but have not bothered, recently... I guess that I am more demanding in terms of the level of engagement that I am expecting, and sure I understand that many people need a certain level of hand-holding that goes further than what I tend to offer without their showing actual willingness to take some steps themselves in setting up an account or just saying that they want to spend some time with me to set up an account.
