Topic: Is it just me, or are most of us actually just forgetful, greedy bastards? - page 5. (Read 975 times)

My point is instead of us being greedy schmucks chasing and reading charts all day (except that's your day job then, well, I'm sorry you're not a schmuck), obsessing over price drops that quite frankly are orders of magnitude bigger than what it was years just a few years back. If you couldn't get in then to buy cheap, then don't blame the market for buying BTC at $20000. Be honest to yourself, whose fault is that?

Stop all the FUDding and especially the FOMOing, relax and accept the undeniable fact that the blockchain is an amazing tech a lot of us are privileged to have seen in their lifetime, and know that value always trumps doubt any day any time. Chill and invest in value, transparency, and an actual blockchain, then forget the noise and be glad to be alive. Its a good day to be alive!

Look at the accounts of people who are worried about the price on this forum or any other platform - most of them are not older than 6-12 months, so how can they forget something that they haven't experienced? Psychologically, looking at the historical charts is very different from experiencing those market movements. Many people become hodlers because they get accustomed to volatility and no longer care about crashes. But most newcomers don't even have any experience in investing, so going through their first bear market is very hard for them.

Well Im not sure if Im greedy but really Im worried about these drop in the prices in the market. And I cant really say I forgot because I was just new to crypto about a ear only. But if the veterans here say that the dip is temporary and normal, then i ll have to believe it.

majorirty of humans ae just naturally greedy. they don't care about what happened years ago,they only care about what they stand to gain at the present moment. That is why so many persons spend hours looking at price chart and creating fud whenever price drops a little. the greed to make excess wealth is all that matters to many investors

LOL I think just about anyone who invests in crypto currency is a greedy bastard. Think about it. It's virtual currency. Nothing physical. It's not like a bar of gold or silver that you can actually hold. Now there are some people who invest in crypto because they think the idea of a non-centralized blockchain and virtual currency is a good one. And that might actually be true. But the rest are just greedy bastards. This can be proven by the wild swings in Bitcoin prices.

I think that you can't say such things about everyone because really i m not greedy  like many traders. As for me, I have many ways to earn money and this one for me is just a hobby and a way to have some additional income

comparing bitcoin price back in 2009 and now is very unconvincing . it's like apple and oranges ! people who invested back then are already millionaires now and don't complain , the problem is the majority of people who have just heard about cryptocurrency in 2017 and a lot of them invested in high prices and since then they are seeing only bearish trend ! i know some people who are dept now because of that trend  so don't generalize your talk .

Yeah yeah, all that sounds pretty but, let's be honest, people no longer care about the tech behind X or Y project, it's all about which project/token/coin will x5 or x10 soon. it's unfortunate, but that's the dynamic of the market. I believe one of the reasons why the altcoin buble popped recently was because a lot of people finally realized that they were pouring money on shitcoins for the sole promise of a quick buck and big ROI.

Let's see if this dynamic changes after this bear market, though I don't expect much.

Everything you have called yourself and everyone in the same shoe is just the right thing which needs to be sounded loud, clear and harsh if need be and I am equally tired of seeing several threads talking about price speculation and lamenting about what will happen to price. There was one about how those who invested in crypto currency are currently depressed, another would be asking whether what happen in 2017 can be repeated in 2018 among several ridiculous questions.


On the average, bitcoin price has done significantly well in terms of ROI from an all time period. Even now a visit to blockchain.com with the detailed analysis showed return over 2000+% increase but because we got used to the increment that happen last year, people expect that is how its going to continue seeing threads about how its going to be $30000 in March others were even predicting $100,000 before the end of 2018.

The only set of people that takes the blame for every happenings in the crypto world especially bitcoin price, whether directly or indirectly are the 'whales' beliving to be the wheel behind every action forgetting the all of the mass of people involved in bitcoin all over the world looking for who exactly is the whale? People are even allowed to spend all day on charts reading it. The important thing is not to wyne about it. If you see an opportunity to turn out returns no matter how small, take it. If you see something that will make you depressed then that is your problem don't come to the forum to contaminate the mind of people seeing opportunities in every situation.


And that is the overall good news everyone needs to take as consolation that in situations where you want to get emotional about situation of things as your investment not going the way its being planned, chill, you are not the only one and what you are holding has been proven times without number to stand the test of time.

Most of us are, sadly, ever since bitcoin gained traction and gained momentum toawrds $19k. Almost everybody wants to get rich quickly without having the need to work for it, and so they found bitcoin thinking that the said goal would be achieved easily by buying into it. Many people are looking at cryptos as a means to get rich without actually realizing its economic importance towards the financially-oppressed demographic of the world. Many un-banked people have the chance to finally get themselves involved in a growing web of e-commerce without having the need to go to their bank and place a minimum deposit.

In our hopes of getting it big through bitcoin, we actually lost interest on what it could possibly do in terms of being your own bank and keeping your assets away from the oppressive capitalists.

Whenever some one enters some economic market; his intention is to earn some profit.  But if  it  is done with prudence; experience; intelligence then the person will mostly be taking good decisions in his favour. 

But if someone enters here just because people have earned a lot or price has risen and some one gained because of  it; he will be behaving like sheep.  And falling in some difficulty is definite for him.

I can not use the word bastard for anybody.  But still the act of second entrants type is foolish.  First type of entrants are though intelligent but may suffer loss because of excessive greed.
