BTC-related strategies: 1) accumulate and 2) HODL)   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy   Wink

After all these years, I just learned that. HODL, never sell. The only action allowed is accumulate (preferably when price is weak).

But I will become more active again when my TenX card arrives. I am going to add my small contribution to the growing pool of people that actually spend cryptocurrencies in day-to-day life. Holding in crypto, spending as fiat, seamlessly.

I do appreciate that you have consistently been engaged in a level of bitcoin assessment that incorporates technical analysis, so in that regard, I cannot really accuse you of such inconsistency as losing (or selling) your BCT account; however, your recent level of extreme seems to either be talking your book (while asserting that you are not) or just pure fantasy doom and gloom.

If you are saying:  "some people are saying $200, but I don't really believe it," then that is one thing, yet it seems that you are saying:  "some people are saying $200, yet even though I don't really believe it, surely such a thing is quite realistic, if you really think about it."

I think that you are just way the fuck out there with such prognosis.

Yeah, of course, anything is possible, and sure, of course, bitcoin has gone through extreme upside growth; however, if you compare this particular growth cycle from $250 to $4980, as compared with the two cycles in 2013 that brought us from $15 to $1163, they are quite different, and this particular time around has been much more gradual in terms of percentage and in terms of slope... .. so yeah, it is possible that we could go from $3900 to $7k and then have a BIG fucking correction, but it is nearly a snowball's chance in hell that we are going down to $200, and it would be quite the stretch to bring us below $1500, even though it is quite possible that we could have some spikes below into the three digits, maybe as low as $900..

but really, what the fuck does it even matter... right now we are $3900, and we continue to have upwards price pressures and you are kind of conceding that there are decent chances of UP before DOWN, so therefore, what the fuck we focusing on DOWN, when it seems pretty decent to achieve UP, first?

In any event, there is no exact road map for where we are going to go, how far we are going to go and how long it is going to take to get there.  Sure we can concede that there are cycles and waves and all of that, but it makes little sense to be harping on only one side of the ledger (especially the negative side of the ledger in this kind of thread that attempts to teach us about bitcoin and to learn about two of the better BTC-related strategies: 1) accumulate and 2) HODL)   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy   Wink

*Brute force will solve any Bitcoin problem*
Are we all supporting or destroying Bitcoin by thinking like this?
I see this greed in many people's posts here in the forum.
It saddens me.
Many here talk pompously and boasting how they're going to sell their stash when its fiat-based value reaches a set target.
Is this all you see in Bitcoin?
A money-making machine?
Are we all failing to see the bigger picture?

Others guys/Girls do the network job for you (or against you ...).
And sometime, a Fork append and the network "people" earn more or like you on trading.



So, if Bitcoin is only 21 Millions, we have no problem here.
Only solution for people.

im telling all my friends simply hodl 1 btc you will be millinare! :-D weee

My guess is this was all just whales splashing around and if I was a smart trader I'd probably sell and buy back lower. But nope. Cool

My guess is that the best move that I can do is to keep playing videogames for the next few years while hodling.

It is very important to mix plenty of pornography into your daily regimen.

You sure have been posting a lot of nonsense lately, toknormal.

Pro'lly due to mixing my drinks at the weekend.

Never bodes well for a bright Monday with me.

My guess is the Chinese have found a way around the ban and they're returning to the market somehow. Some VPN solution + foreign exchanges perhaps?

I must confess something...

When I discovered Bitcoin about 2 years ago it blew my mind. I'm a scientist/engineer and my job is to design things, so I immediately understood the idea and its implications. Much like Andreas Antonopoulos's experience, I found myself skipping meals and forgetting to sleep while reading all a could find about it. I thought that this invention had the power and potential to change the world for the better. To help people. And I still believe that.

But something spoiled the dream for me. Greed. I was lucky enough to buy a good amount of BTC when they were worth 200 € each. I didn't plan it, it was pure luck. And then I found myself thinking about how much money I could earn, when I should sell my BTC and become rich (in a fiat setting), etc. I didn't care about Bitcoin "the world-changing invention" anymore, all I ended up caring was how much money I could make out of it.

Things are looking up, and my goal may be realised sooner that I thought, but is this a healthy goal? Are we all supporting or destroying Bitcoin by thinking like this? I see this greed in many people's posts here in the forum. It saddens me. Many here talk pompously and boasting how they're going to sell their stash when its fiat-based value reaches a set target. Is this all you see in Bitcoin? A money-making machine? Are we all failing to see the bigger picture?

Sorry for using WO to post this... I just wanted to get it off my chest.
Greed is good, comrade.

Money is a requirement of life in this culture. Why would you have a problem with enhancing your life, the freedom you have and the things you can do? Is a Real Job™, where you essentially live as a slave, more attractive to you? If so there is nothing stopping you from living such a life. Having money simply gives you the option to not have to work if you don't want to, or to choose your work if you must have one. It's a good thing on all fronts.

especially if work is a 9to5 monday to friday crap where the weekends are only to get rest or rekt ourselves so that we can start over and over again.

I'm not seeing this as a "confirmed breakout" just yet

draw a line, log scale mind you, from the 4979.9 ATH to this and it touches at 4692 on Sept 8

this is a good hard bump of the upper trend, granted, but so far nothing more

I will risk being tiresomely repetitive and again call your attention to the, as yet untested, rising support line currently ~$2885

Yeah, agree. Not really much buying pressure right now.

but $200 bitcoins would be quite nostalgic!



Every Elliot Wave analyst I've seen has predicted a retest at least back to $500.

We could, for example have a gradual decline back to $1800. Then a spike down to the 'retest' zones and then stabilisation.

So not sure if TA is helpful in this case, but ofc, it's all speculation

... Why do I keep talking crap on here and my activity is always 28 tho? Sad

You're not credited with activity in here. It's how we keep out the riffraff.

I would be very surprised if bitcoin ever went below $1k again, there would be a lot of people buying at that level, myself included.

Retraces always surprise people. Unfortunately it doesn't prevent them from occurring.


Well, let me rephrase and say, I would be pleasantly surprised. People over use the term "cheap coins", but $200 bitcoins would be quite nostalgic!

$200 coins would probably not be good for bitcoin.


I have trouble imagining prices going below $1500, and sure it has got to get below $2500 and $2k first, which in themselves seem to be stretches, but a little more reachable.

Bitfinex stats:

27,609 BTC margin Short
16,771 BTC margin Long

Those shorts will have to cover.  Not a good situation for them.
