But let's forget that part for the moment - if I'd buy and hold I'd still have 7 BTC, I didn't, I traded as there's no tomorrow and currently have some 150 BTC.
You see, the point is exactly the same. Buy and hold bullshit could be said only by deluded idiots who bought at single digits or around and assume those that buy at 1200$ are at same position as them.
Of course the nowcomers are 2-3 orders of magnitude behind, but still very well off compared to the ones coming when it's $100/m
BTC, and also they have more than the ones who only buy at "2 month's work"/m
BTC. Striving to attain the next level in the log chart of bitcoin holdings is very difficult and I am sad that smart people do scams and pump and dumps instead of being satisfied with what they have and living in peace.
Reason I am saying this is that 0.01% of people professionally work as brokers. For all of the rest, it represents a significant diversion of effort from more important things in their life to following the USDBTC rate from a screen, not exactly an improvement in living standards. Furthermore, as a result of this effort, everyone (or perhaps a number tending to 99.9% when duration tends to infinity) loses money.
My standards will improve when I meet my target and I'm pretty close. Or if I do, as you never know. My standards won't and wouldn't really improve with my initial 7 BTC. It's much more than 7 BTC now so I guess I'm not really losing money so far. I'm pretty fine with hard work specially as there's nice chance it might bring hard award that could wipe out any hard work from me in rest of my life pretty soon.
And talking about pumps and dumps, scams, bla-bla.. is bit rich coming from you, you confessed doing manipulation or taking advantage of it, with its highness BTC many times. But yeah, you're another Bitcoin snob so it's fine when it's done with btc but alts are scam when same is done. Bullshit.
I don't give a shit about owning 5 or 10 bitcoins. I'll have hundreds of them or none.
So you don't
"give a shit" to be among 10,000-30,000 world's richest. Top 100 or top 300 is the way to go. Yes, you seem to be a megalomaniac and a player. I think I could easily adapt to any of the levels, as could most of us.
* top 30 would have BTC5,000 or more (100 billion USD)
* top 300 would have BTC500 or more (10 billion USD)
* top 3,000 would have BTC50 or more (1 billion USD)
* the top 29,000 people would have 5,000mBTC or more, a huge fortune comparable to 100 million of today's dollars.
* the top 1 million people would have 500mBTC or more, corresponding to 10 million or more dollars
* 29 million people have at least 50mBTC, which puts them among the most affluent 0.6%, previously called 'millionaires'
* the upper middle class of 350 million people worldwide, owns 5mBTC or more
* lower middle class consists of 1 billion people is characterized by ownership of 0.5mBTC or more
* the lower class of (3+ billion) owns less than 0.5mBTC including people who don't have any or have negative worth.
No, I don't give a shit about comparing myself with other people. I don't do it now and won't ever. I have my plan what's enough and my goal is to reach that plan, nothing else matters.
