Currently not long. Currently not short. Wish I had been long for the little pump up, but I would have cashed out at $340 and waited to see what would happen next. I'm definitely skeptical about it. But, nah... only a missed opportunity on my end. No pain.
As in, you're in USD right now.
Not piling onto you, just an observation. Maybe just idle semantics, but interesting nonetheless:
I remember when the common usage in here was 'long' = in BTC, 'short' = in USD. If you happened to be leveraged short, that would be mentioned explicitly. Not that long ago, either... still the usual nomenclature in 2013.
Seems to have shifted a bit: 'short' now means leveraged short, and being in USD is, well, simply being. Bit more like in all other markets.
Again: I'm not dissing traders, am doing so myself. But it is interesting nonetheless. At least in terminology, the 'holder' mentality seems to decline in importance somewhat, while the 'trader' mentality is on the rise. I suspect a twofold reason: the long bear market (rewarding thinking in terms of USD profits), and an increasing professionalization of the market.
