$393, OP. Good job losing your house and becoming a fool bag holder!
Have some class, man. This is a regular dude who is probably kicking himself really hard right now. He took a chance, if it turned up he would be a genius. Frankly, at least 90% of us on here have no clue where the market is going. It's a 50/50 gamble. He lost the gamble. He isn't a bad person for it nor does he need your shit. Especially right now. Back off people with this bullshit. P.S. -- I am a bear. Still, I think messages like this to people going through a crash amount to nothing less than classless bullshit. |

OP was not an innocent child who fell in the mud trying to rescue a kitten. OP was trying to make money by playing the market. There was nothing commendable or even attractive in what he did--it was just dumb, unmitigated greed. Some feel that unchecked greed is ugly, and should be ridiculed--not applauded. I couldn't care less, but suspect that's Sevvero's take on things. |

I just guess that my position is that we shouldn't s--- on the guy. However, those dudes who were mocking people last week for selling at $450... yes, they are fair f---ing game. |

He took a chance, if it turned up he would be a genius. I saw at least two references to greatness before this. Why does taking a risk and winning make you great? If I jumped into a lion pit and killed a lion, would that make me great or a genius? |

Taking calculated smart risks is the way to succeed well but a smart calculated risk is sometimes an emotional bet that end up ruining you or making you lose a lot of time. People usually judge if taking the risk was smart or not with the result. |

And in so doing perpetrate a common error. What makes a decision smart is based on the information available at the point it was made. If I bet my left kidney on the flip of a coin, I am not dumb if it lands heads but a genius if it lands tails - no, I am dumb right from the very beginning. |

BIG RISK

BIG LOSS.

Only if the market estimates the risk correctly. |

When he sold his house the price was around 600$. He is underwater, but not yet in the danger zone.
However when the price will drop below 300$ he might feel an irresistible urge to cut his losses and may sell close to the bottom.
If he won't panic sell, he'll still have to wait several months for the price to rise back to 600$.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

I think the guy is rich and this is nothing more than loose change. He has ten other houses, all larger.
He probably sold his BTC in July, shortly after his last post on this forum.
He said he was concentrating on other projects, meaning that BTC was an irrelevant side show

Maybe it is Al Gore - AFAIK he hasn't denied it. |
