2015 an awful year?
Perhaps you were thinking of 2014, the only calendar year with a drop in the price of bitcoins.
2015 was actually a pretty good year for Bitcoin. It started around $300 and finished over $430 for an increase of over 40%. Not a bad year at all.

I use various services to hold my coins. I recognize that I'm dependent on what the institutions do ...
No, please don't. If you like to keep your bitcoins save against hacked exchanges, yourself or hardware failure, just create a paper wallet at https://www.bitaddress.org/
How secure is something like electrum's word wallet generation vs coinbase 2 day vault + multisig. My inherent risk is institutional failure vs. me deleting wallet, losing keys, or (however unlikely) someone guessing the wallet words? Since talk of the fork I've flip flopped about 8 times for withdrawing or splitting coins. After my recent hardware restoration am a bit more pessimistic...
Nobody is guessing your seed. It doesn't matter is you take a sledge hammer to your comp.
Just keep your seed safe and password safe.
I have no idea what "coinbase 2 day vault + multisig" is.

Re: paper wallets : if you leave them with other people, shouldn't you encrypt them? At one point I had a copy of a paper wallet I stored remotely, and I manually encrypted the key. My nerdy solution was to take the ANSI codes of the characters of the privkey and add the ANSI codes for characters from a password I chose to each character. Password looped because it wasn't as long as the key. Printed out the resulting sequence of numbers along with an explanation of how the addding worked. Didn't encrypt the first character of the privkey since that's a known number and would slightly weaken the security.
You can probably come up with something simpler...

I enjoy your posts. I know you are sharper than me.
How does encrypting a seed or password and then giving instructions to decrypt it provide much extra security?

I bought at 380 thinking it would only go up, and you know what? I hate being wrong ><
The common traders emotion, "Why does the price always go down after I buy and goes up right after I sell". Well we just need to wait for a little while for the price to push around the $390 mark again.
True, but I see only a lowering trend and it's bothering me a lot
Probably, you need to zoom out a little bit in order to have a better perspective.
Sometimes, I wonder, unless it is just for trolling effect, how posters can get so worked up about the price movement within one or two weeks or some other selective period of time that shows a downward trend.
We have both downward and upward trends in bitcoin, and both can be occurring at the same time depending on the timeline that you are describing.
Surely, we may have some continuing and ongoing downtrend, even below $300 - however, if we realize that to be a possibility, then we should prepare for such - which doesn't necessarily mean betting all of our BTC holdings that it is going below $300, when we may only see that as a less than 10% probability.
At this point, I am inclined towards thinking the next 5% adjustment in BTC prices will be down... I give it a 53% for down and 47% for up.... But really it is not a clear and convincing conviction merely to be inclined to believe one way or the other.
Not trolling dude... Merely worrying about the future that's all...
I'm glad you have so much faith in bitcoin and so much self control. I for myself am a bit worried about a potential stagnation linked to the issues btc is facing. I don't like seeing the lowering trend of the past weeks, and I don't want to see a new age of 280/300 $ that's all.
Yeah, but you are getting a bit unrealistic when you get so caught up such recent BTC history when btc's performance and fundamentals are much stronger than the past few weeks of bitcoinlandia drama. Also, historically, there has been quite a bit of drama and stories about doom and gloom and death of bitcoin, yet bitcoin is still quite strong and doing considerably well, given the many indirect and direct attacks that it has received and continues to receive (even if prices were to go into the $280/$300 price range).
I feel a lot better if BTC prices go up (and I profit more), but really I cannot control that kind of price movement or even influence the market in any kind of meaningful way.
Accordingly, I have been engaging in a variety of steps to attempt to protect myself on both ends, and even to cause some profits no matter the direction of BTC's price movement - even though at the time being, I profit quite a bit more if the price goes up rather than going down.
Overall, I am betting that the long term BTC prices are going to go up rather than down or flat, yet I am attempting to employ tactics and strategies in order that I can withstand continued ongoing downward manipulation and/or delays in that anticipated upward trajectory by not investing more than I can afford to lose and also staggering my bets along the way in both directions.
In essence, I have been buying on the way down and selling on the way up, and in that regard, I apportion the amounts that I am buying and selling according to my own view of the future (at any particular moment), and my tolerance of risk within the consideration of the possibility that some fluke (whether man-made or natural) could cause bitcoin prices to plummet to zero or near zero.
juangee... you really need to stop spreading these false rumors that bitcoin is doing just fine.. until the bloatchain not scaling issue is resolved then bitcoin is not doing alright at all, regardless of how many foos are buying it.. all the people who are buying bitcoin atm are at risk that bitcoin may never scale.. until it does then it doesnt .. it don't matter how much you promise it will be fixed .. it has been EIGHT MONTHS we been waiting .. #ridiculousness ... at the rate is going BitcoinPure will be released and forked bitcoin while u tards are still trying to figure out who is the ruler of bitcoins and who owns the fees.

I wish I had a Family Guy Meme, "You know what really grinds my gears," the viewpoint that, "Miners, Exchanges, & Users don't matter."
It makes me think of the beta max vs vhs fiasco and Google/ Adsense/Adwords 0% initial fees for users. Adoption is key and I don't think we've hit critical mass yet. Regardless, as soon as Bitfury release their chips, and re-sellers have consumer mining equipment for sale again, I'm buying back in so I can cast my vote. I miss the sound of whrring fans lol.
