Once learnt how to use a tool you always have those skills.
The lesson is the important thing.
Exactly! Knowledge is power. You can then take the lesson learned and apply it to other things. Life is awesome like that!
I actually made more selling mining equpiment during the great BTC rush, in the December/Jan than I could ever have with the units.
Lol that happened to me! I got interested in btc and wound up looking into mining. Bought a bunch of those usb sticks and used them for a few months. Luck would have it that Uno was coming out @ that time and all the planets aligned and that is where most of my Uno wealth came from. Then for one reason or another the fucking price that people were willing to pay for those usb miners doubled from what i payed for it. Carpe diemed that shit and got out while the going was good and sold them fast. That got me geeked out. Not only did i mine coins, but i got back almost double what i spent on the equipment to mine them? Thanks CNN! Mining wasn't a horrible idea a year or two ago if you had an exit plan. I guess if your plan is to support the network it still isn't a horrible idea. Maybe not profitable, but not horrible.
I took the bitcoins that I made, I waited for the prices to settle down around here, and now I have 1276 Kilograms of UNO. Considerably more than the 788 I sold.
That's how I do it. It is what I learned to do. If anything, I have made UNO a bit more scarce.
That is awesome work! I do believe that is what a lot of people here would love to do. You have indeed made the coin more scarce.
I do not trade with your best interests in mind. Rather, I trade with my bottom line in mind. Funnily enough, we all have the same long term goal.
I just want to aggressively own more of it than the passive hodlers do.
Cast stones. I am impervious. A genuine market welcomes all comers because the diversity of trading styles is what makes that line move.
If everyone just sits on the bid, it never moves up.
That is fine, the market NEEDS people like you in it. If we all just hold, as was said, it never moves. Someone out there has to MAKE the market. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. It is a necessary part of the evolution of the markets. Being a cut throat venture capitalist, i think we picked up on that. I would think you weren't that bad at it, your trained eyes brought you here after all.
To bring it all home though, that would be one of those skills that once acquired, can help in other aspects of life. You are certainly a welcome addition to the community, as is anyone else out there, as long as their intentions aren't "take these suckers for all they are worth" but rather "together everyone achieves more". If our end goals are all similar then it really shouldn't matter the paths we take to reach them.
