^ it ain't going to happen as you describe it. This would be idiotically consistent and markets are not.
I don’t know. I thought it was idiotic to not sell this cycle high and yet most people didn’t. Everything has happened exactly as
I’ve been predicting it in financial markets for about 28 years now. The only thing that surprises me is that people still doubt when I tell them what is going to happen. Just like when I say you will bend the knee and admit I was right when we dip around $50K this summer. Only then will the market truly recover.
Wow!!!!!
The last time you dug yourself a hole when you proclaimed that you have been a "bitcoin trading professional" for the past 15 years, even though you forgot to buy and hold for the first 6-ish to 7-ish years of those 15 years.
Now you want to proclaim your supposed financial expertise going back 28 years. Holy fucking shit!!!!!
I will admit that I try to spin myself as being consistent with my various financial management and investment practices going back more than 20 years before I got involved in bitcoin, yet for sure, I know that I also screwed up a whole hell-of-a lot along the way, so I even will admit that there were quite a few defects in my own approach and/or my abilities to consistently apply principles and practices, even when I thought that I was learning as I went.
I also had some pretty fucking big pieces of luck along the way, even though surely I can probably take some credit for some aspects of the luck in terms of some of my preparations paying off in ways that I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, and maybe even difficulties in trying to help anyone else to strike the various balances that ended up paying off quite well for me, while at the same time, there were other guys who were also successful in their own ways, even when their approach was meaningfully different from my own.
you both seem pretty sure about what you are sayin'
have you considered betting?
I already have 7 figures where my mouth is. I made my bet last October with the market and I'm winning.
From your assertion, I am inferring that you sold more than 50% of your BTC stash.
That really comes off as foolish, from my own perspective, even if your bet ended up paying off, so far, for your lil selfie.
Personally, I believe that it is not a good practice to gamble with bitcoin... even though surely there are guys who take that path in terms of their involvement in bitcoin, and I have my doubts about their abilities to either match or exceed the outcomes that buyers and HODLers have ben able to achieve in the past 8-ish years or more, and it seems likely to me that the upcoming 8-ish years are going to continue to reward buyers and holders more than traders - even if there might be some guys who trade and get lucky in the process (perhaps less than 5% of the traders will get lucky and not necessarily in replicable ways).
By the way, you have pretty much admitted that you fucked up between 2011 and 2017, yet I wonder even if we were to measure your performance since the beginning of 2018 if you had actually beaten a buy and HODL strategy from the beginning of January 2018 until now. I get the sense that you probably have not, even if you might be feeling your oats right now (while you are in the middle of a trade and seemingly counting your eggs before they have hatched).

OK ... here's the thing.
You are just posting what amount to "I have been right for 28 years and you are all idiots for not doing what I say".
Do you not see how fucking annoying that is? Would *YOU* listen to someone who was saying that to you? The technique of selling tops and buying bottoms is an EXTREMELY risky game. PARTICULARLY with something as volatile as BTC.
hahahahaha . It is pretty funny (cAPSLOCK) when you put it like that.
It is like OgNasty is making up some imaginary opponent, as if we even had any fucking clue about OgNasty 28 years ago... and so then he is also commiting a similar strawman argument when he suggests his 15 year bitcoin involvement or even if he were to attempt to seriously consider his bitcoin performance in the past 8 years or even extrapolating a longer history based on his supposed yet to be realized success in his most recent trade, to the extent that he even traded in the way that he is proclaiming to have had done in this particular so far correction.

at least in my case I got the silver rally correct.
You are looking at "short term."
The longer term should be the more accurate assessment.
And, so your ongoingly striving to judge yourself based on "trades" the more likely you are going to end up undermining your own situation based on the difficulties that you have in terms of getting out of such a trading mindset, especially when it comes to how you set up your bitcoin and how you plan to continue to manage it into your more elderly years.
Of course, in the end, you are going to follow paths that are within your comfort, and surely you have to pay the costs and/or benefits that go along with how you make your investment (into bitcoin - the topic of this thread) and/or how you manage your cashflows - in regards to other investments that you have and/or income/expenses that you have too.

The reason I continue to troll
certain people here is that I was right and they were wrong, I told them I was going to be right and they were going to be wrong, and still they continue to criticize me as I'm right and they are wrong. They were literally calling me names at the time for trying to save them from losing 50% of their savings and now they're bitter about it.
Are these "certain people" in the room with you now?

How can I not have some fun?
You do seem to have issues - even though there is nothing wrong with trying to have fun.
I am going to try not to put myself in the camp of "anti-fun" that's for sure.
Am I annoying?
Yes.
Maybe for the folks that didn't listen to me and chose to criticize me instead. Those quotes aren't going away. The folks that did listen and saved themselves from watching half their savings disappear might have a different opinion.
Hopefully no one is listening to such a retard like you, even though once in a while you make some good points.
Better (and maybe even best?) practices involve coming to our own balances in regards to where we might find ourselves in our bitcoin investment journey, including considering the extent to which selling and/or trading is a good practice when it comes to accumulating bitcoin.
Of course, guys who have larger bitcoin stashes, they likely are in a better position to play with parts of their bitcoin stash, as compared with guys who are earlier in their bitcoin accumulation phase.
Accordingly, it is likely a better practice for each of us to make sure whatever it is that we are doing is accounting for where we are at in our bitcoin journey, perhaps even including the consideration of our
9 individual factors.
Anyone is free to hit the ignore button if they don't feel I'm providing any value. I won't lose any sleep over it.
There might be some value in some of your posts, from time to time. Not often, but once in a while you might make some points that are helpful rather than just self-aggrandizing.
at least in my case I got the silver rally correct.
I was glad to see you selling the silver rally. I sold 5 ounces over the weekend for USD and another ounce this morning with a sale currently pending for 11 more in BTC. Dumping it as fast as I can.
This is confusing. I just google-checked, and it says that 1 BTC equals close to 900 ounces of silver, so if you are talking about 11 BTC, then that would be right around 9,900 ounces of silver.
Or maybe you meant to say that you had 11 ounces of silver, which would be around $9,900? Call me confused, if you must.
