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

[JayJuanGee]

You need to UP your posting game Zeunerts.
Anyhow, so back to the question about you, Zeunerts.  What was your 2013 and 2014 experience like?  What were you doing in regards to bitcoin during that time?

I had a change of nickname recently. I have actually written part of my history previously on different occasions. But I will try to summarize again.

The biggest regret is that I actually heard about bitcoin before 2013 and thought about mining it, but didnt. Its easy to say in hindsight. And its also not sure that things would have played out better, maybe I would have sold early(?).
But I stumbled upon bitcoin once again end of 2013, most likely because it was getting attention because it was getting closer and closer to 1000 USD. I found this forum and spent several nights reading and reading. I remember SlipperySlopes S-Curve.. rpietila etc. Then I made the decision to invest (avg 650-700USD/btc), a big part of my savings (I know, young and stupid). But I would survive without it. Spent the coming years in great loss, didnt sell any.

Made my next mistake by selling some in the 2017 bullrun, early. Experimented with shitcoins and ICOs etc. In summary though, I did better than most, I have probably more BTC thanks to that.

Going through everything from 2013 until today is quite the ride, all the ups and downs, all the china bans, declaring bitcoin dead 4716 times..
Since then, I have converted everything to BTC and tried not to touch it too much. If things play out well in the coming years, I will sell some - not too much. Its getting more and more scarce/valuable..

Yep.. if you sell some, then only you are in a position to know if you have enough that you can start to shave some off without regretting it, which apparently happened to you in 2017, and so maybe you are in a better position to figure out some kind of a way to shave off in a way that is comfortable for you. .which is something that I try to address in my sustainable withdrawal thread, and bitmover has made a tool in which we try to put those ideas into a format that guys might be able to use when they start to feel that they have enough BTC.. but then if you are not really into sustainable withdrawal then you might be more into raking your bitcoin profits, which is another attempt that I make in this post terms of framing some tools for that in which I created an Excel spreadsheet and fillippone had linked a GoogleSpreadsheet version for guys to plug in their own numbers.

Yeah, I have already seen most of those tools, thanks! Not sure which way I might go, but the general idea is good, and to have a plan going in to the next bullrun is good.
I have no plans to live of my BTC just yet (monthly withdrawals). I have a good enough income to use for everyday life, bills etc.

Bitcoin ETF products saw a net inflow of $1.19 billion last week.

Only $315,000,000 worth of BTC is mined per week at its current price.....

Okay wdh did that $1.19B came  from??

Like everything else; from dirty debasing currencies that eventually go to zero value unlike BTC.

The Apocalypse Of Peter

And lo, for the love of God, I sayeth to all those with ears to hear: "Who let this crazy nut-job in here?"

 That would be the 3rd incarnation of Cryptotourist who has killed himself off twice, both times in late December, coming back initially as Antisthenes and secondly as IAW.   It's sad to watch someone slowly descending into madness.  I would imagine nearly everyone has him on their ignore list by now.

 As Cryptotourist, we had a discussion via PMs when it was time for his avatar hat.  He seemed like a normal guy who was proud of his heritage and I ended up making his hat to reflect that.



 Anyway...

 

... But my account is older than yours.

Oh my bad...

Huh! A 2014 newb... now that is special. And in that case...I bow down to you sir.

I prefer lurker. I have been following this forum since 2013, and mainly this thread (90%~). I try to keep up to date. I find many people here interesting.
It's a good place to get a feel for the market, and a summary of different news outlets often gets posted here.

 I also find most people interesting at first...

Got you beat.

The only downside of lurking is I didn't get a hat.

Meh… at first it was a fine dude… but probably same story as a lot of members….
To much interest in merit and merit distribution etc and not to much time spending on BTC it self…

Why don't I have "Patrol" in my options, like you do?

Are you some kind of forum police or sth?

And who would have thought that 'O 0' (without the space) produces this cool emoji?

Over exposed himself and got wrecked on a fomo shitcoin launch and blames OG community for it.
Specifically Grin.
Funny thing is if he had listened to my posts he would have never fallen for it.

You have to enable it in the Forum Profile Information settings.

Are you some kind of forum police or sth?

Yes but that is a voluntary position and a lot of people wish I would stop doing it.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nasty little bart down from over $50k. At least we're still above where we started yesterday.

O.T. for all you Disney woke folk:

My wife brought this bit of Mexican fun to my attention. It roughly translates to "Pussy, the little boy who wanted to be a real little girl".
