Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[JayJuanGee]

Bitstamp and Coinbase are the only exchanges left that didn’t close my account for no reason. I suspect that regulators are doing all they can to push crypto from the reach of Americans. I look forward to the pendulum swinging the other direction when this nonsense is finally given up. Who cares though… We’re back to pushing on $30K and faster than I’d figured we would.

I believe that regulators are simply protecting the way of existence to which they are accustomed and which is most beneficial to them. Cryptocurrencies create problems for this system, so they increase the restrictions. In my opinion, this is a fight with windmills, which is doomed to failure, because cryptocurrencies are the future, and the future always defeats the past in one way or another.

Too bad that you could not have had figured out a way to write your post while using the term bitcoin therein... especially since this thread pertains to such topic.. aka dee cornz.. aka king daddy, aka honey badger, aka my lil precious...

but hey?  maybe your newbie plunder is not your fault this time?

Maybe "we" (royal, perhaps?) can blame OGNasty for starting uie pooie out in such an ill-conceived direction, in which neither one of you folks seem to have had realized the actual topic of this here thread.

I can tell you from direct experience, the first thing about retiring or ending a career that you have to contend with is a loss of identity.

After many decades, a career and a title defines you to both yourself and the people around you. When you retire, you move from "I am an X" to "I was an X". So who am I now? _{(Of course it doesn't help that your friends and family will treat you differently, treat you like a bum because you are not slaving away at a job anymore like they still are. But that's a different story.)}

You are, of course, the same person you were before all the career stuff even began, you just have lost that sense of self.

What helps to make the transition easier is to think of yourself in terms verbs instead of nouns. You are not a title, you are a person who does interesting stuff throughout your life. Instead of "I was a Sr. Project Manager, and now I'm a nothing" you say to yourself "I did project management for a while. Now I do [insert whatever interests or hobbies you have here]."

wut? seriously?

ones identity is tied to work?? 
NO NO NO NO

i always had a life (identity) very separate from work. i didnt socialize with coworkers off work.. well mostly.

im serious. get your real life started.

just retire. period.

Haven't seen the 4th bear market report (22 pages) by Tuur Demeester shared yet. Worth a read since the previous three reports (2012, 2015, 2019) turned out to be quite prophetic. One conclusion is we are currently in the accumulation phase (price range $22k-$42k) until a new multi-year bull market pushes it well north of $120,000. IMHO it won't take long before all coins in the twenties are permanently sold and we are firmly back into the thirties. Time to HODL, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Another conclusion is dollar-cost-averaging sucks vs. lump sum, something the royal we already concluded on the WO.

For those in a hurry the first page with the conclusions:

Thanks for adding this to WO, I really enjoyed reading this and there was definite moments throughout the report where a bit of self congratulation was going on

I didn’t quite get the same feeling in dca’ing Vs lump sum, the topics more stated here are two ways and here is the differences like lump requires more emotional temperament than dca.

JJG the author writes similar to some of your points with probability assignment, while subjective it resonated nonetheless.

Thanks ++ merits

I strongly agree. If you "had a life" before retirement, you won't have problems after.
Identity is tied to who you are, but it can be compensated by what you do (or also: "are", as common misinterpretation).
Social and working life is identifying one's role or status within, but not personally.
Two different pairs of shoes.

People lacking the "who am i"-identity will very likely fall into a hole after (possibly being forced to) giving up their "what-am-i" identity.
Those here who know about my past most likely know that i already had my experiences in these matters.

Finally covid caught me. Along with me and my dad, who had to be hospitalized because of the severe cough, but without any other complications. We both have 2 vaccines and that definitely contributed to the relatively mild passing of the disease. Unfortunately, dad's other problems, which are cardiac and neurological, cannot be solved in our city.  I hope that soon Bitcoin will increase more so I can buy a house in the city, where I already work and where there are good clinics. But at this stage I can't part with a large chunk of my stash for such a super low price.

How would you know that without any "control group"?  Also, I wouldn't call being hospitalized relatively mild... but that's just me

Hopefully your dad gets better soon!  Good health is the most important in life.

Fuck all the crises. It's just a mainstream term, a label. I'm sick of it, too.
"Crisis" is implying that it's possible to solve the situation.
But this is something different. Look at the charts. You know how to read charts, don't you?

Sad to hear. I hope all goes well, bro.
I watched my dad slowly dying in an ICU (not Covid), i wouldn't want you to experience this, too.
Carpe diem.

EDIT: Would you sell if you had to (save your father's life)? Honest question. I think i would.
EDIT2: I wasn't asking to read an answer, but for asking this yourself.
