I will admit that I get a little bit nervous when the price drops more than 20% and even more nervous when the price drops 40%.. and sure, we never know when is the bottom or if we are going to experience a timely recovery.

I would feel even more nervous if my plan was complete HODLing.

Therefore, why not sell a tiny bit of bitcoin on the way up, and it will make you feel a lot better when the price goes down because you can use that money to buy more bitcoin....

So let's say that you only have 5 bitcoins.  You could easily sell between .05BTC and .1BTC (1% to 2% of your stash for every $400 to $600 (10% to 15%) that the price goes up.. and if you are worried about selling too many, just buy a few extra (at some point), so you don't worry as much.

Sure we are all going to worry, but there are little individualized strategies to help to make the extremes of the volatility a bit less painful (and in the meantime, you end up making money from the volatility).. as long as you skim off very small amounts of your stash.. whether your stash is only .5 bitcoin or if you happen to have 5 bitcoins or 50 or more bitcoins... or some amount in between.

I thought the same thing. But I chose to HoDL (and keep HoDLing for several more years). My thinking is that if it goes to zero, that's OK, my investment was not big (a few thousand EUR). I won't miss it. I can afford to lose it. My life won't change. On the other hand, what'll happen if I convert it to fiat and then it goes to the moon? I'm sure I'll feel really bad about it, much worse that if I lose my investment. And going to the moon will certainly change my life for the better. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

My suggestion to all BTC owners: HoDL! And if you have the skills & guts, trade a little (not too much). As for me, I don't want to trade because I know I'm not good at it.

I know the feeling bitcorn. I felt sick last week too. I had to stop looking at the price.

Even though my investment was fairly low, the profits are now high.

Maybe I should take out a large percentage of my profits? If I do that and it goes up 400% I am in the same boat. More sickness.

I think I'll do my original plan and hodl for more years. Hopefully this will pay off. I need to forget short term and think long term really.

Must feel nice. I remember when a crashing Bitcorn made me positively giddy. Now it just makes me sick. 

I bought a few fractions while the markets were low last week. Should have bought more. Didn't expect such a fast recovery.

It looks like ou never use bitcoin in the real world 
Joking aside, I know what you mean.  I used to carry a few bitcoin keys with me (with phone wallets) but when the price went up to $4000 I put them into the freezer 

By the way, xhomerx10, I understand that you were talking about the color of the weekly candles, and I have had other threads of discussions with posters about trade volume too, and how that trade volume is depicted in weekly candles.

And, part of my point has frequently been that we will frequently come to faulty conclusions if we attempt to look at trade volume in short intervals, even on the daily.  However, the weekly candles (Stamp on bitcoinwisdom), show that trade volume has been  up for about 20 weeks in a row (sure there were a couple of less dramatic volume levels in there but overall UP).  So we see that there was a bit of an extra trade volume spike in the past couple of weeks, and usually trade volume will not necessarily just suddenly drop off - however, if we were to see a sudden drop off and prices were to trickle up this week, then that could be a bullish sign that bears are kind of exhausted of the battle - yet we know that some of the fuck-twad bears might be connected to a large amount of unlimited printable dollars, but still sooner or later, we could run out of folks willing to sell their coins. 

My thinking of the most logical conclusion is that this price battle and decent trade volume is going to continue in the near future - yet since I continue to have few clues about the intermediate price direction, I continue to prepare for either direction.... and I would not be surprised by a trickling up and then some kind of additional attempts to keep the price from going up, which may be tough for bears to battle off, even if they might be willing to lose some money to achieve their goals of keeping the price down.

Boobs. But kind of stupid.

Nah, you wouldn't  say?  "We" would not want to have the goosen create his own thread for this really "funs" topic, Koreck?  
 
He's totally cool hanging out in these parts, right?   His bitcoins are our bitcoins, right?   like community property, no?  

Youre in So 6/10 iT was right .... ? And next time i would do ...

Thanks! 

I think its stamp ATH, so 4979.9

@micgoossens What will you consider to be the next BTC ATH?

What was the last one?

Thanks!

Fire in the hole?

hey hey, whats up with the red tampoon?? 

^It's funny, everybody comes out of the woodwork when free money is involved. Where were you during the trouser crisis??

Goes to show who your friends really are.

OK I'll try again. I see I didn't search back carefully enough to see that Oct 2, 2017 was already taken when I posted this morning.

For the same reasons, I'll have to take Oct 1,2017 even though it's a Sunday. If it's already gone, I guess I'll have to take Oct 6, 2017 which is the nearest available date following.
____

As a suggestion, if you ever do this again, make a separate thread so it would be easier to see which dates are taken without having to wade through the entire wall observer thread with its walls of text, antisemitic gold buggery and pointless debates.

Because the smart people here already put you on "IGNORE."  FYI

I don't know Why but i Just want to make same ATH guess like last time
Rules ....: the one  with the right date of ATH gets .25 btc paid directly  (UTC time)    (closest to ATH.....)
I look to Every page in here from now When a date is picked first iT cannot been taken again ( 1st =1st)
Another .25 btc is rewarded for ho makes best of technical analyse of the time When we strike ATH.... and Why iT happens at that time.....
So This .25 also only to been payed 1 time .... and not 2 times te same explanation.... (1st =1st)

Both answers to win must been inside before 20-09-2017
Goodluck to the ones that like This 

UPDATE listmaking                 notice a * is when the person put good enough explanation for other .25 BTC  (person with no * only play ATH or have to put little better )
