Do you believe that we are going below $10k?
Wouldn't be the end of the world, you know.
We were just there 5 or 6 days ago.....
What's 5 or 6 days? Not going to make that BIG of a difference, is it?
UP and DOWN is part of the deal. Sure, I don't really mind either way, and I would prefer up, but if Baby
BTC is not ready, then she is not ready.. We have to go through the normal market motions, no?
I don't really care much. I don't have plans to sell in this year and way are way above what I had expected. As I said we are way ahead on schedule. But, other than that, this is fine.
In the meantime I am scalping the shit out of this action... with play money though.
hahahaha
What's the difference?
Sell or scalp?
Of course, you are not going to sell the whole stash.. Almost none of us WO regulars play like that, except for the few radicals who seem to end up playing too BIG and getting r3ckt sooner or later.
So, yeah, if you are scalping, then you are actually taking some advantage over the near inevitable volatility, which is probably our BIGGEST guarantee in bitcoinlandia.
Regarding where we should be at currently: I would say $7k-ish would be a kind of charitable location... and that would be close to a doubling from the upper $3ks that we were negotiating in late March. And, currently, what are the odds of going back to $7k-ish or below... Does seem to be a bit less than 50%... maybe even in the lower 40%-ish... or even possibly lower? and that is a kind of equity cushion in itself.
Anyhow, seems that we have a bit of a cushion from the most plausible spot that we "should" be, but shit could still happen, at least a kind of fake out that brings us back to where we "should be" or even worse.. but what are the odds? What are the odds? Seemingly less than 50/50, at least...
And, then again, another scenario (more bullish, of course) is that we might never go below $10k ever again... ever...
I am not going to put too many eggs in making propositions either way.. or at least not any more eggs than I have already put in through a drawn out dollar cost averaging approach.. that has gone on for me for several years (more so in 2014/2015 and some in 2016/2017).. and those eggs, at current BTC prices, seems to be floating in the area of having more than a 10x cushion of equity.
I don't claim to be like those folks who feel some kind of a need to take their principle out of their investment in order to feel better about their safety... bitcoin does not really scare me in that direction, but if we start getting below $5k or even approaching $3k again, then might have to rethink my fear level... Nonetheless, I suppose that, at some point, I might end up taking out my principle, merely because with the greater and greater passage of time, my principle does not seem to be adding up to very much, at least relative to the time that I spent nearly 2 years putting it in.. and my principle becomes a kind of "pocket change" that I no longer feel any need to "put it to work."
