So where's my favorite delusional gambler"daytrader" now? Found a way to lose some more money today Mat? Getting fiat ready to buyin at 1300? Smiley

Boy I am such a dummy!


Ok now we are in agreement. Seriously though, eat your words or something, or you too cheap for that as well? I told you that you should better hold at 1100 (and you should have, you'd probably had more coin now), I told you when was a good time to buy (anything below 600), I told you that it will never go below 300, I told you that it will break out above 500 in a week (and it did 2 weeks later), and you still consider *me* delusional? Smiley You are funny, but learning to admit your mistakes will go a long way towards self-acceptance.

If only I had listened to Piramida and held at $1100 back in Dec 2013, then I wouldn't have to worry about a whats a good entry point and whats a good exit point right now..........(as I would be a hapless phucking bag holder sweating blood, praying for a return to my break even level and screaming angst and rage at anyone who dared come on a forum and suggest that we might be in a bear trend, and would have no capital to enter and exit the market with unless I admitted a massive loss to myself)

Edit: and do go creaming your pants just yet. This run could ultimately go up into $700's (I think there is a strong chance that it will), and then we could find ourselves at the end of a Wave B, and commencing on the final impulse leg down of the corrective Wave 4 since Dec 2013. If that is the case, Bitcoin market participants will know despair en masse  like they have never known it before. This isn't over until it is confirmed as over. Just look at the precious metals charts for guidance as to how misleading, brutal and venomous a Primary Wave 4 correction can be.

True, trading is not for (most) women. It's not for most guys either. Guys on average tend to like risk and gambling a lot more, but that doesn't mean they are actually any good at it. Also, people who argue guys aren't emotional haven't seen the average sports fan.

Most people who are good at trading get so from experience, not from inborn talent.

+3.5 billion (the approx. no. of women on earth at the moment)

and +1.75 billion (for the reasonable half of men on earth :P)

There is only one support level, at $260, wake me up when it is breached. Before that, unsubstantiated panic selling or gambling, but nothing to do with investing. And believe me, most hodlers do not even consider this dip to $400 as anything remarkable but a nice buying opportunity.

Complete fkn delusion on toast! BTW. we have two more days to break out above $500 like you assured everyone that Bitcoin would. Seems that a break below $400 is more likely but nevermind eh?

the true moral of the story is: Bitcoin is not for women/girls

tell your wife to catch a falling knive in a flashcrash (really profitable trade). She will scream at you 'SELL' at those occasions. True story. Don't let women influence your trades, they generally suck at trading. Only very few women maybe can do well with btc. I know women. It's true. Too emotional, bad at math, no patience - really not good for trading volatile stuff like crypto. They are better with the shopping  Wink

This is absolutely true for me.  It's taken me 3 bubbles to get passable at it.

I think this post made you the favorite poster of every woman on this forum.  I expect medals will be awarded.

Actually, I think Bitchick would agree with him.

I think someone, who makes such a thread with only one post and stays at 2 posts forever, looks like a fake... (most of the girls are fake here because they know, they get treated very different here in this male, single world)

I wonder if everyone would make such an effort to reach out if we didn't perceive Veronica to be a female. It's very big hearted of everyone to look out for the newbie, but I see this kind of sad tale on a pretty regular basis in the world of bitcoin and the typical response is, "well, dude, you shouldn't have invested more than you were willing to lose." But in those cases, they didn't have feminine names or give a sob story about wanting to stay home with their daughter.

That's probably true, but it swings both ways. Women typically also get a lot more flak when they mess up, especially in guy-dominated environments. Our reactions to gender (and race/age/looks/social status) are on the whole extremely irrational.

(My original rather harsh, pre-caffeinated comment OTOH was an allergic reaction to people who don't take responsibility for their own faults and instead blame others. Reading the OP again though I think I read too much into it, so if Veronica ever reads this I apologize. It's always a shame when someone gives up on bitcoin because of a short-term loss.)

Should have held on Veronica Cheesy We are heading all the way up now

Yep looks like we are now emerging from the bottom so I guess we can say this was the bellwater of the lows
Also meaning that if she waited one more month she would have been fine
Two more and she would have made more
Three and who knows Smiley

Weak hands + investing more than he can afford to lose + noob at trading.

First i have never bought at 900 with such a bear market sentiment, many people bought at that price but to hold into them for months not to regret just because the price go ro 400.

But buy now again! If not you will feel even more stupid

My friends called me crazy when I told them it's a sure thing.  The shame is just as bad as the lost money.  So I quit.  You guys win.  Coins sold.  Sad

Dont listen to your friends, if I wouldnt have listened to them, I wouldve still tought that bitcoin would never go higher then 50$ back in the days.
And i would proberly bought some back then, If you believe in bitcoin you should keep it for a few more years, and then see what the price is.
Now you sold them and maybe in a few months they are back up at 1000 then you will feel stupid for sure!

Just saying guys, you could be getting manipulated here by your natural sense of chivalry.

For me at least, little to do with the fact that she's a woman, but a lot to do with the fact that she seems to take care of a child. Makes some sense, no?


I'm willing to bet she's more than a little ashamed, and probably upset by some of the words and ideas thrown at her.  If she were to reply, someone would probably accuse her of being a panhandler or a fraud.  The only way to verify the latter is not the case would be to ask for personal information.  Do you expect her to give that out, especially considering the treatment here?  I'd be rather paranoid myself.



I thought of that, that's why I asked her to PM me, so it's at least not going to happen "on stage". But, yes, if she contacts me, I will ask for some personal information to at least make sure the story checks out by and large. I understand that's not ideal, but necessary I believe.

I want to help her out because she sounded seriously distraught, but I'm not allowing myself to be taken advantage of either. In fact, one could argue that preventing the latter is what enables the former.

Noble, but I don't know what kind of proof you could ask for that cannot be manipulated.  Even if she showed up at your front door, there's no way to prove her story.  It requires some amount of trust in her.  Alternatively, you could poll everyone here to get distributed consensus on her validity. ;)


You're not a 4chan (or, more benign, randomactsofpizza) regular, are you :D A picture of her and her daughter in their living room. For all I care, with her faces blurred out. For all I care, sent to the board mod, not myself. That's all. I'm not mortally afraid to be taken advantage of, I just don't want to be the easiest kind of target.

How do you know the people feeling sorry for her aren't females themselves ? Wink

When this post first came out, everyone (including me) was thinking that she should have held (which will probably come to fruition).

Later on in the post, people just replied back and forth to each other (this post caught fire for some reason)

It wasn't until the last few pages that I noticed people start to feel bad for her (as well as I).

I do not think it has to do with her being a woman (which might not even be true = g.i.r.l - guy in real life)

This could be manipulation but I do not think it is.  She has not logged on since this post and has not solicited (which most would not give more than a small tip anyway - after asking for blockchain proof or something)
