Hey what if we stop judging other people on this thread?

As for the OP, my suggestion is, if you are doing this long term, the best time to buy is always the same value = NOW().

It is true that holding is a great strategy. I have been fortunate to double my Bitcoin with opportunistic trades. I want more Bitcoin and I am thinking of praying at the Whale temple to get them.

Why would you not want to work? Working, and having your own business especially, is great.

+1

Working gives you a purpose in life. Not everyone hates their job.

I guess some people just have a slave mentality. It's weird. For me the question is why would you want to. Better to do what you want, and then it's a hobby even if you get paid for it. But even for people who like to work, surely it would still be better to be able to decide that you don't need this job. Most people don't have even that kind of luxury.

There is a difference between "having to go to work" and "not having to go to work".
Some people who have shitloads of cash want a simple yet nice/fun job which has no stress.
Having your own company might seem nice but can be very stressful and probably won't be fun for everyone and especially if your not good at it.

imo luxury is "not having to work"

In many cases the rich are rich because they are not lazy.

Yeah, the poor are poor because they're lazy and stupid and people are bad because they are in the 'Axis of Evil'...

Open your mind and travel a little bit more in the world, many very poor people in the third world countries work harder than you coud ever imagine.

Just remember that you are just lucky to be born into a wealthy country/family.

The great number of the wealthy were born wealthy. There are a few examples of people who were born in poverty who became rich, but this represents a small minority.

I believe in being productive. That's conducive to feeling worthwhile. A work ethic for its own sake does not.

I am losing all hope of ever buying Bitcoin cheap again Sad

Who else is starting to feel like $500 BTC is never gonna happen? Huh

It went down to $500 already a few times, we are looking at the build up for the next bubble now.
After the next bubble you will be able to buy plenty for $500, just wait

Not sure about that. The last major crash (November 2013) didn't get as low as the peak before the previous crash (April 2013). The next major correction might not get below $1200.

Not quite. I don't have the proper paperwork for most jobs, and the rest are taken by immigrants. That's only a problem in countries that focus excessively on paper credentials and immigration of unskilled labor. The climate is as big a problem as both of those as well.

Then I would suggest you travel where the immigrants come from and apply for work there. Payback time! Roll Eyes

And if bitcoin really takes off then I won't have to work again. Nobody here will.

Ok. Unqualified and generally unwilling to work (= lazy).

Noted. Thanks.

Are you an immigrant too? Like to smoke pot and don't have a job?

Btw:
Have you read his posts?
He doesn't have the "paperwork".

Either he is an immigrant -> why did he choose denmark?
Or he is just a lazy guy -> his own fault

I don't blame him for doing nothing, I blame him for doing nothing and complain about it.

So you are even worse. You just don't want to work... If bitcoin really takes off, it would be the most successfull redistribution of wealth.
Last question: Are you an immigrant? Or just a lazy boy? No school finished? Just played video games and smoked pot?

Who the fuck are you to judge someone? Not everyone is a conformist who can find their place and feel happy in their own country. You're the one being the lazy boy here by thinking only in black and white. Either someone is an immigrant, or lazy and smoking pot all day if they're not happy with their life and the society they live in... yeah right, if only it was as simple as that. Dumb shit.

I've had periods of my life where I didn't have to work. It awarded me the freedom to pursue things that really interested me that did turn into 'work' again.

If the need to acquire money is taken away then that does coax you into reflecting on a lot of things and should hopefully steer you in a constructive direction.

If I had several hundred thousand bitcoins now I'd be figuring out how to use them to make the world a better place. That would be the most productive use of anyone's time.

Then there are those of us unfortunate enough to be born into a country we hate. I see absolutely nothing good in my country. The climate is terrible, the economy is horrid, the politicians are communists and the people are psychopaths. All I ever wanted for the past ten years is out. This does nothing to incentivise taking an education or trying very hard at work. Then along came bitcoin, the only honest money in the world at this point, and a way off the frozen asshole of the world.

Where do you live?

Denmark.

This I can agree with. It's just that not all work is productive and not all productivity falls under work.

These damn immigrants. I'm happy that Estonia is a cold, poor and racist enough country to keep away these parasites. I would move even farther to the north where is even more cold so that people from warm countries wouldn't want to slack around where I live. You can't just come here and start living in a TV box because you would freeze to death. I believe that's also the reason why southern Europe has so big immigration problem.

As is pretty obvious, I live in Toronto, Ontario. When I checked the weather this morning, it was -23c with a windchill of -35c.

More than half the population of Toronto consists of immigrants. As a Canadian-born white Engish-as-first-language speaker, I am a member of the minority.

Most homeless people and panhandlers seem to be Canadian-born.

I smell xenophobia.

Great for the fortunate few who enjoy it. But there is a difference between a hobby you get paid for and a chore you get paid for.

Get involved in working in an area that you enjoy. And if you can't, first work anywhere you can find, while also keeping an interest in the field you like. And then you'll surely find a job in that specific field.

I think one needs to find a purpose before one can be happy. No matter how many millions a bitcoin is worth.

I think We might see $500 again but it won't last long, when ? I can't say may also never happen.

There is a more affordable alternative you know, like litecoin.

They were $455 on December 17th. You should have pulled the trigger then.

That were the times where people were crying that it is the end of bitcoin, don´t buy, panic sell because it will go down to cents and so on Roll Eyes

So I also listened to these masters and did not buy. At least I holded. Sometimes it is better to make your own decisions....

If BTC will go down to $500 again then the same things will happen all over again. "This time it is different" "It is the end" "It is over"...
