Those fucks are so ongoingly arrogant... and it seems like the same kind of press that might come today.. especially a week ago...
Another thing is that even if they wish all that they like, if they want to stay somewhat relevant, they are never really going to be able to "say goodbye to bitcoin"... because bitcoin is going to continue to rear its ugly head. over and over and over again.

So you failed to properly prepare for uppity.
You are pretty lame. Preparing for UPpity does not necessarily mean selling all or most of your coins if the BTC price happens to go up, which largely indicates that you are valuing your wealth in dollars, and surely there is nothing wrong with dollars in the short term, but there is also a need to consider a variety of assets that a person holds - and the degree to which any trading might be applicable.
This here situation happened to be both a fluke and a windfall, and so there was a lot of free money that just was turned over to me.. as a kind of windfall bonus. Do you know what a windfall bonus is? In case you do not know, I will 'splain it for uie-pooie. A windfall bonus is something that is extra that is thrown your way that you have not necessarily done much if any work or expectation to receive.. yet you still end up receiving it. Many of us have had windfall bonuses at various points in time in our lives, some of them more signifiant than others. It's like winning the lottery without necessarily realizing that you had a lottery ticket.
only 2% on the exchange vs 5% sad so sad.
First off: I am not sad.
Secondly: Just for clarification, I said that the amount that I had on the exchange went from 2% of my holdings up to 5% of my holdings based on this mistake that had occurred in my favor. I would have had no reason to put 5% of my holdings on that particular exchange because of the ways that my sell orders (and my buy orders) had been set up based on my own deliberate actions. I used to have quite a bit more BTC on the various exchanges that I use; however, in the last few years (actually starting from mid 2017), I increasingly moved more and more value off of exchanges, but I did not have that extra value in orders anyhow... so the fact that I moved it off, did not change the way that I structured my sell orders.
I have 6% of my btc on coinbase set in ladder sales.
That's not a bad number. I use other exchanges besides BinanceUS... but those were my largest sell orders out of the various places that I have preset sell orders. I used to have an account on Coinbase, but they kicked me off a few years ago...and I did not persist in trying to get another one.. I adjusted in other ways.
live and learn JJG
You think that I need to learn how to put more value in those BTC sell orders? You are so fiat focused, you likely don't even realize much of anything. You are delusional (seemingly).
Did you check your blood sugars, recently? You are getting so excited about some fantasy that you seem to have, no?
It seems that I did the opposite of what you are suggesting that I should do, and tentatively (at this point) I slightly reduced the sizes of my various BTC sell orders between $32,500-ish and $150k (they now allowed me to set my sell orders up to $150k), and part of the reason for my reducing my current BTC sell orders is that the filling of those sell orders from a couple of days ago, had already off-set quite a few of the little mistakes that I had made when I was creating some additional sell orders in the past few years (many of the lower sell orders (at least the ones below $100k) had been created in 2021.
So the fact that they all filled, I am put into even a better position than i had thought that I was... and I am not even saying that I was in any kind of bad position, but between about December 2021 and March 2022, there were some areas in which I had created relatively larger BTC sell orders in order to make up for some fiat that I had spent, but then the BTC price did not go back up, so those BTC sell orders did not get filled and they were just sitting on the books for the last couple of years and waiting for the BTC price to come to them (which it did in the last few days), and so any dilemmas that I had been feeling had been resolved (and even more than that) with the BTC price moving up..and then even an extra bonus with the BTC price mostly coming back down to the price ($28.8k-ish) in which it had started the whole process. So it's almost a better position than anyone could expect.
Actually, when I describe how much I profited, it does not sound like very much.. when I am saying 1.5x of the holdings.. and going from 2% to 5%.. so maybe I increased my overall bitcoin portfolio holdings only 3% (and most of that still is in cash/USDT), but to me, the amount of quick and instant windfall profits feels like a lot.
Nonetheless, when I had been further pondering about whether I might have profited more than goldkingcoiners with his 80x fat finger mistake, and I am starting to be willing to conceded that perhaps goldkingcoiner might have had profited more than me, relatively speaking.....does anyone just increase their holdings by 3% - after being in bitcoin for several years. Sure when you are new, or a low coiner or a no coiner, then it is quite easy to increase your stash by a large amount in a short period of time. However, it seems to me that goldkingcoiner did not reveal the maths (the particulars).. so we are not really going to ever know for sure (whether goldkingcoiner might have done better than yours truly) unless he discloses some of the details (if he can remember) a wee bit moar better.
Peer pressure
@goldkingcoiner. Peer pressure. Peer pressure. Sharing is caring. #justsaying.
