It’s OK JuanJayGee, I know who I am. I’m only human, making many mistakes, and who gets very excited easily on Bitcoin’s every surge.
hahahaha
Don't worry. I am not trying to fix you.. that might be a lost cause.. hahahahaha
But am I truly wrong in believing that the Bitcoin market’s current actions want it to go back, and be like it was the final week January again? Another surge, and Bitcoin would back to the path of reaching a price with 6 digits. Plus when I started the topic only few believed me, when I said that Bitcoin would be a World Reserve Currency, few also believed, but we currently see the actions of some countries’ politicians point to it becoming real.
Nothing wrong with having bullish ideas, so long as you do not get too worked up in believing that you have high levels of certainty of short-term BTC price movements,
I’m the stupid one, and repeatedly say it in the forum, nor have I believed that I have high levels of accuracy, BUT I might currently be right. The stupid one can be right too. Hahaha.
Is there some reason that you want to be right?
I am just thinking that it does not matter very much.... and maybe that is some of the battle that I have with the underlying premise of this thread.... because from my perspective the main ideas in investing in something (such as bitcoin) that is really highly volatile is to attempt to prepare for a variety of scenarios, including extreme scenarios, and there is almost no way to be right, so if you do happen to be right, it is likely a kind of luck and therefore a so fucking what... so I am having some troubles in regards to either being right or wanting to be right about something that is dependent upon a whole hell of a lot of variables.. .
Sure, of course, many of us are investing into bitcoin because we recognize and appreciate the fundamental values and/or upside scenarios in regards to where bitcoin is going or might go, but even if there is a strong thesis for bitcoin's long term investment thesis, we can also appreciate that in the short term, the asset can be manipulated all over the place, so it becomes very difficult to really know the short term with any level of certainty.. so if you happen to get some kind of short term prediction right... so what?
Are you short term trading? or just buying on dips so asserting that the dip is in and anyone who has not already bought the dip, better buy.. so sure, there might be some value in that.. I suppose.
No, it doesn’t matter to me, but it does make me feel happy if I’m right. Anyone would. Are you annoyed? You sound annoyed. Does it matter to you?
I doubt that I am annoyed as much as you are considering my annoyance to be important.
I already made my point, so I am not sure what my annoyance, if any, has to do with the matter.
I have never heard anyone say it with strong convictions among the infuencial members of Bitcointalk.
Oh gawd. What about Hal Finney in 209.? there are all kinds of examples if you are not just selectively making your claims that you are the first person to figure it out in 2019.. I am not going to waste my time to research the fucking 1,000s of peeps in bitcoin who said the same thing way before you... get a grip Wind_FURY
Did I claim to be the first? I always claim to be the stupid one, remember? But I can claim that I am one of the people who truly believed it enough with conviction, looking stupid or not.
Just might be a different way of thinking about matters and if there is some need for recognition or credit...
You probably need to research more.. but still like you said, it does not matter very much, unless some peeps are trying to act like they first came up with some idea or frameworks.. but hey whatever, do what you like..
I admit I do. I have so much to learn. Which brings me to a question, just out of curiousity of knowing the thoughts of Bitcoin OGs like you. When, do you believe, will Bitcoin be a World Reserve Currency? Within 20 years?
Value is going to continue to gravitate into bitcoin, yet 20 years seems too soon....
Bitcoin is successful whether or not it ever becomes a world reserve currency.. and the personal investment thesis into bitcoin remains strong.. so sure, you can contemplate more macro ideas, that's fine, but this thread is about personal investment strategies, and some of us invest into bitcoin because we believe that its sound money aspects are going to continue to cause value to gravitate into it and for bitcoin to increase in value greater than other assets, relatively speaking...and sure at some point, governments around the world might start to recognize bitcoin as their unit of account or their transactional currency.
So, sure it does seem inevitable that value will continue to gravitate into bitcoin in such a way that it becomes more and more the base for everything else.. and whether there is a gradual then suddenly timeline that can be placed upon it, is not something that I give many shits in exploring.. bitcoin has already provided me a lot of value.. and it has performed quite a bit beyond the more bullish of expectations.. but it is still on a trajectory that takes time.. even though it is progressing quite well with the passage of time.
By the way, let's see how El Salvador works out, and if there are other countries wanting to imitate it, so there is the legal tender matter, but there is also the matter of governments holding Bitcoin in their reserves.. so El Salvador is a kind of beginning, but I still doubt that 20 years would be a sufficient time for the contagion of bitcoin to spread to be classified as a world reserve currency. We will see.. we will see.
Don’t take the fun out of it, ser. I like to be the stupid one.
There is nothing wrong with trying to have fun and humor.. but having a goal of wanting to be stupid seems a bit weird... but again.. do what you like.
And remember arguing for the mere sake of it can be problematic... but you do you.
