[edited out]
I was talking about people who complain when others mention the price going down or being stable when I said they were overinvested. I’m not sure why you took offense to that, as you weren’t the person in my quote who I think is guilty of such behavior. If you think the shoe fits though, feel free to walk around in that mfer.
And of course you (OgNasty) want to feel like you are smarter than everyone else, when you are not. Even if half the things you said were actually true, we can hardly believe them based on your own ongoing arrogance and seemingly persistent desires to be right and for others to be wrong....
I don't desire people to be wrong. I desire to make money, which I did a lot of last year. You desire me to be wrong...
Why would I give any shits if you are right or wrong?
My proclamation that you are trying to be right all the time and describe yourself as being smarter than everyone else does not cause me to want you to be wrong.. yet to just observe your own ongoing bullshit for what it is.. whether you happen to get lucky from time to time with your all over the place shifting proclamations in regards to what may or may not happen.
So, yeah, pointing out that you are full of shit may well save folks from relying upon your ongoing nonsense, even though every once in a while you say some smart things, yet even when you might say some smart things from time to time, you cannot even help yourself from proclaiming it was your original thought and that no one else had thought of such thing before you.
Sure, there could be some pleasure in pointing out the various places in which you exaggerated and/or got it wrong, yet the mere pointing out of such evidence does not mean that I gave very many shits, either way, since I am not the one who is proclaiming to know much of anything about the future except that it seems to be based on a variety of probabilities that do not convert into actual facts until after the time had passed, and even when we are describing the past, we might not even agree about some of the past facts or the interpretation of such facts or even how much weight to give past facts in order to attempt to assign probabilities to the likelihood of the happening of future events.
If I wanted people to be wrong, I wouldn't keep telling them the right move to make.
Sometimes you do that.
You are critical of everyone's opinions even when they are right and you are wrong, which has been the case with every single disagreement we've had.
I tend to be critical when members speak with certainty, arrogance and when they try to act like they are smarter than everyone else.
Sure, there might be times that I attack members who I otherwise like based on contents of their posts - especially if they seem to be posting about the future with too much certainty - which is partly the motivation behind what got me into my 100k sat bet with LFC in regards to whether another ATH will be reached prior to April 1 or not.
We don't always agree and likely even our personalities become irritating to others. I am not proclaiming to even being very likable, since no one really likes to be criticized - and so sometimes I might go overboard with my tone. It is not always easy to capture the right tone in the context of text (or forum posts).
From time to time, I will look back at some of my own posts, and I cringe, even though likely at the time that I wrote the post, I was considering the post to be a reflection of what I wanted to say (or felt necessary to say) at the time that I posted it. There are some times that I have drafted posts and then I decided to sleep on them prior to posting them, and even though I don't tend to change posts, sometimes if the post is potentially controversial or argumentative, then I might go back and edit the post within a few hours of the post.. even though I hardly ever will delete or edit posts if they are more than a day or two old and if I were to edit a post that is that old, I would like put a note in the post to indicate how much later it was that I edited the post.
Yet you for some reason think your opinion is valuable. We already know everything you're going to say here forever. You are a one trick pony who got lucky and now thinks he is some morally superior person. You aren't. Your analysis is garbage.
You seem to be reading too much into the extent to which I value my own opinion.
Surely, I post a lot and I have tended to post a lot, yet it is not very frequent that I give disclaimers in regards to my posts being merely my own opinion - even though I would think that there is some implication that would suggest that each of us are largely stating our own opinion and perhaps backing up some of the facts and the logic that we rely upon in order to reach our opinions.
If we think about posts having factual representations and then having logic to argue conclusions and/or to support opinions based on the facts, then sometimes we might have to provide information to back up our facts and/or our logic, so I tend to appreciate posts that attempt to back up their facts and to contain reasonable logic to support the conclusions, and so many times when any of us show our work in regards to our facts, logic, and conclusions (or opinions) then we might not always agree on the conclusions even if we might appreciate when forum members might point out how they had arrived at their various conclusions.
You were screaming buy right before we dropped 40% and bashing me for saying to sell.
I doubt that I was "screaming buy" even though I frequently proclaim that any newbie to bitcoin needs to start out by buying and not looking at the price. So, yeah, I suggest buying for up to 4 years before even considering the BTC price... yet of course, each person has to come to his own conclusions regarding what he is going to do in order to get started investing in bitcoin.
Yes, I ongoingly suggest investing rather than trading, so investing means getting started as soon as possible, and likely holding 4-10 years or longer with any new purchase. The specifics in regards to how anyone starts to buy their bitcoin is what each person has to determine based on his own assessment of his
individual factors.
Unlike you, it is not very likely that I would make any proclamation in regards to knowing what the price is going to do in the short term, even though sure if I say that I believe that we are in a bull market, then my conclusion is that I believe that the odds for up are greater than the odds for down, even though surely corrections (even large ones and even quite sustained ones) can happen at any time. Unlike you, I don't proclaim to know when they are going to happen.
Even though there are guys who likely follow my suggestions to get started buying bitcoin as soon as possible, I never proclaim to be responsible for their actions, since each person has to decide for himself what he is going to do, including taking information from the internet (or from me) with a grain of salt and coming to their own conclusions regarding what they may or may not do in regards to bitcoin investing, cashflow management or any of the other related topics that I tend to talk about through my forum posts..
Now that I was right and you were wrong you personally attack me instead of apologizing.
What was I wrong about?
You are trying to proclaim that since you ended up being correct this time (supposedly) in regards to the bitcoin price dropping to $50k (oh wait?) that somehow I was wrong?
There are some of us who either don't trade our bitcoin or we already have largely price neutral systems in place (as I have largely had some version of such in place since 2015 at $250-ish). Mostly, I don't change my strategies based on whether I believe BTC prices might go up, down or sideways, except perhaps a little tweak here and there on the margins. Largely I have the same systems in place in which if the price goes up then I sell small portions (these days, right around 3% for every time the price doubles), and then I buy back if the price goes down. There is no fucking around trying to figure out which way the BTC price might or might not go.
Now in regards to newbies or other forum members, if you had read any of my posts (I have a couple of threads on
my bitcoin-related investment strategies), then you might well could have had noticed that I frequently suggest that guys have to get to overaccumulation status in regards to their bitcoin by getting started as soon as possible and then persistently, consistently, ongoingly, regularly and perhaps even aggressively buying bitcoin. Accumulation of bitcoin is done through buying it and not selling it, trading it or trying to gamble in regards to BTC accumulation, which can take a lot of time if a guy merely has income streams rather than abilities to reallocate (or frontload) into bitcoin from other funds that he might have...Most guys do not have lump sum funds and they have to take 4-10 years or longer to just ongoingly build their bitcoin holdings before they might start to get close to reaching sufficient accumulation or overaccumulation in regards to their bitcoin stash.
You take no accountability for being consistently wrong.
And what is it that I am wrong about?
1) The bitcoin price direction? I already said that I don't play that game, even though since I suggest that guys get started investing in bitcoin as soon as possible and at any price, yet they still have to figure out their particulars. I am not telling guys what to do, except get started and perhaps figure out their discretionary income so that they can figure out how much that they are going to invest and also figure out other aspects of their cashflow management systems/practices. I am wrong about that?
2) trading versus investing? you seem to be advocating that trading bitcoin is better than investing in bitcoin. I am wrong because I tend to say that investing is better than trading? I also tend to say getting started is better than waiting. So you are saying that in this case waiting would have had been better than getting started, especially if we were talking about September/October 2025? Maybe you should try to be more specific in regards to what you are proclaiming that I am wrong about and what you are supposedly right about?
3) is there something else that you want to suggest yourself to be right about and me to be wrong about? shitcoins?
You just pretend to be morally superior while chastising others from your palace of losses.
You seem to be just making shit up, even though I admit that you seem to have some personality problems - so I might be inadverting suggesting that I am morally superior to you in my pointing out some personality problems that you seem to have.. so sometimes if I might be attacking some of your ideas, then you are right, I might throw in some ideas that you have some truth telling issues or exaggeration or problems in which you seem to want to get credit for ideas that were not even from your own creation, even if you might have come to realize the ideas independently.
I get it. We all want Bitcoin to go up. Being delusional about it doesn't make you superior.
I frequently suggest that each of us are in a better place if we attempt to prepare ourselves financially and psychologically for BTC price directions that could go either way and might last for extended periods of time. You are proclaiming that I am ONLY prepared for UP?
I will admit that my finances are biased towards bitcoin going up, yet I doubt that I am in any kind of perilous situation as you seem to be wanting to make such strawman arguments.
It makes you a guy throwing shade at successful people who made profits last year while you nurse your losses. Lashing out at the people who are right is why I say you are overinvested and emotional. I stand by that.
You can stand by whatever you like in your ongoing desires to want to be right and to paint pictures of guys losing value because they had chosen not to trade. Ultimately you come off as petty.
By the way, a little bit of a change of topic (some folks call it off topic (OT), even though many things in this thread are still on topic).
Since the beginning of the year, I have been considering what to do about what seems to have been your ongoing sloppy and uncorrected mistake that you made
in reporting your pushups and the number of days in the pushups thread, even though your pushups appear to have had been consistently reported at around 100 pushups for each day that you did pushups, yet for some reason you went from 639 days of doing pushups on December 7, to 677 days of doing pushups on December 9, and then to 700 days of doing pushups on January 1.. Perhaps instead of proclaiming that you are evil, some of us might just proclaim that you are just sloppy.
Even though your quantity of pushups only went up 100 for each of those added pushup reports, it seems to be more of a stupid and inattentive mistake that screws up things for the other participants of that thread rather than something that you would have had been getting any benefit out of the process since your quantity of pushups per day ended up getting diluted down from 101.56 on December 7th and down to 93 per day on January 1.
You may well be one of the main reasons (if not sole reason?) why we cannot have nice things,
not only in bitcoin yet also even in the pushups thread.
