@JJG...sucks to be me, then, lol
I would speculate that to be true.
Hey, at that—newbies who are scared that we just dipped below $25k (now bouncing towards $26k), and that there is chit-chat about $22k, should remember that
some people sold Bitcoin for under $220 in early 2015. No, I did not omit any zeroes, or turn any letter-k to a zero. I wonder if the people who sold BTC at $220 feel bad now.
selling at $220 was not frown at for most of 2015.
It depends what did you sell it for.
At that point most sales would of been because BTC is dead.
Bitcoin wasn’t dead. It was merely expressing its divine displeasure at Hearn/XT. (Not-early 2015.)
Fork Wars caused crashes in 2015 and 2018. Thinking about POS, and Evil Hat(TM) economic attacks...
A lot of people had given up.
I guess it was nice of them to give their coins to you.
It is not easy to generalize regarding what people were doing back then, even though for sure a lot of interest was being lost and waning throughout the latest part of 2014.. so by the time we got to 2015, it seemed more difficult to get anyone excited about BTC.
I feel that I mostly ran out of money by early 2015 - and I even had folks telling me to sell a wee bit of my BTC to take care of some of my cashflow issues (and to protect my lil selfie from further downside). I did not sell, except maybe sell and replace a few times, yet I felt that I was not really able to acquire too many BTC through the whole of 2015.. even though I did increased my stash during that time....
I remember around mid-2015 I had someone pay me for a good and service in bitcoin, and then the BTC price was around $224-ish. About a week later, I asked that buyer if they had bought back the bitcoin yet... .. so I was trying to emphasize replacing anything that would have been spent.. but there were some folks who were way more blahzey about the whole bitcoin matter.
A little bit of a stressful time for many of us, and for me, too... and even for me, it took a while to get over some of the shell shock of such a long period of flat and even uncertainty.. and people blamed it on GOX.. and I am not even sure if that should have been enough to really explain why flat for so long?
Oh.. and I did feel that I mostly exited out of my BTC accumulation phase during that time, but still I continued to accumulate even though I was supposed to be out of such phase.. but I did establish a BTC selling on the way up strategy around August/September 2015-ish.. .. but it would not really mean anything without actually putting it into practice.. learn more by practicing... which I started to do during that time..
not too far from 200WMA now.
Mfers here laughed at me when I said that BTC will touch 200 WMA back in Feb.
You are so amazing and under-appreciated, too.
We might need to raise money for a statue... #justsaying.
