Just cut my own hair. I think it went OK but am sure my wife will either have a fit or keel over laughing.

On his way to Fort Knox, no doubt.

I basically got drowned like that by a mentally handicapped kid about twice my size when I was young..
Like out of body experience drowned almost died..

He held me under forever using me as a floaty and then finally put his feet on my shoulders and kicked me way down under water which I managed to swim up and away from him afterward..

Thought I was dead..

You sold Bitcoin and bought crypto?

You should sell all your crypto and buy Bitcoin.

Speaking of which:

SOMA, sorry.
Well, not quite 100% SOMA, but some reasonings i can't explain too well without completely losing focus. I tried, four or five times, but i was anything but satisfied with the results. So i'm left to hope that the SOMA explanation (which in fact really isn't one) is sufficient as an answer (i know it isn't).
It's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy of the shitcoin space/communities. Some market forces will help to make them true, while prolly being the first to dump on fomo retail buyers and bagholders later.


Currently i am into "Chuck" Season 1+2. Pretty nerdy, but funny.
As for movies, i'd recommend "Glass", if you haven't seen it.

Any price predictions?

And for anyone this seems boring, mby some movie suggestions?

Never played that game, but I've been listening to some Civilization 1 music that someone uploaded on youtube.

From my perspective, you phrase this in a real strange way, shahzadafzal because:

regarding your first point, there are some graphs, patterns and predictions that seem to be somewhat coming true, and of course, the longer term graphs, patterns and predictions seem to have greater probabilities of reflecting both what happened and decent abilities to assign predictive value - and of course better on the longer term rather than the shorter term, but even then, there seems to be a decent amount of shorter term information contained in various charts too.. even though none of them are going to be exactly correct or even be able to account for some surprises or short-term BTC price performances in the opposite than expected direction.

regarding your second point, I don't really disagree with the overall sentiment that BTC prices do seem to have both a historical and a long- term predictive tendency to go up, but still it seems problematic to employ words such as "certain" and "always" in regards to future BTC price performances - even if we can apply those kinds of words to past performances because such past performances already happened.


Not everyone of us, but some of us do seem to be getting quite close to moving beyond ramen noodles, even though there may well be some shell-shocker like tendencies to NOT go overboard on the spending too quickly.


Hard to believe you, here.  Sounds like you are just making shit up in order to try to show that you can relate to various circumstances of actual HODLers versus someone who likely has hardly any stake in bitcoin, if at all.

Another thing.  Maybe you can describe what your last supposed 8 years in bitcoin have been like?  Maybe also let us know if you have held this same account for your whole time in bitcoin, too?

Also in regards to BTC accumulation specifically, did you front load?  Did buy along the way?  Did you have any targets or goals in terms of accumulation, maintenance and/or liquidation?  Did you buy on dips along the way or have plans to do so?  Of course, you said that you did not sell any, so we can cross that possibility out of what you did along the way..   But still having some troubles with this in regards to what dilemmas that you might be supposedly having, exactly?  You do not know when to sell some BTC or to shave some profits off, right?  Maybe that means that you have not accumulated enough? Or what is the issue?


I would think that feelings of "trapped" would depend, in part, on circumstances of each HODLer/ BTC accumulator, no?  We should not be presuming the same dilemmas upon each person, even if that person may have been into BTC for 8-ish years.

Personally, based on my own nearly 7.5 years in bitcoin, I would think that having 8 years in bitcoin should help to resolve dilemmas for a lot of folks, but I understand that some folks who have been in bitcoin for so long have BIGGER mistakes than others, even though many of us who are largely trying to stay focused on bitcoin already realize that when the BTC prices seem to be moving rapidly UPward, even achieving 5x or 6.5x profits in the past 8 months, there could be some dilemmas caused by such considerable BTC price movements if we do not have an adequate plan (or we start to question the plans that we have), and sure if there are some of us who have not sold any (and that is surely not me, but I appreciate that some of those peeps exist, even herein).. but some of those folks are also pretty decently comfortable (on paper - especially if they have been in a long time) - even though they could well have some existential crises if we were to drop 50% or more from our April 14 ATH of $64,895... not sure if such 50% BTC price drop has decent chances of happening, but surely such 50% or more drop is way beyond zero likelihood, and may even be in the 40% or more ballpark of happening in the next 2-6 months (not sure if I am thinking too bearishly, here?).


Why all or nothing kind of thinking as to when to start talking some profits?  If you are having such a dilemma, supposedly, why move the number up rather than just shaving a bit off?  Maybe you could shave off a smaller amount, so you do not feel so worried about it, supposedly? 

Maybe you should explain your details a bit more, so we can understand why you might be having such supposed dilemma?

When my Step grandmother was drowning (She couldn't swim and was bouncing around the ledge when she slipped toward the center) I dove in and got under her and pushed her up and tried to get her to the side of the pool (it was a 28 foot round with 4ft on the edge dropping to 7ft in the center) and she was acting just like that guy literally holding me and trying to stand on me without letting me get away. She was a few hundred pounds and I was probably all of 60lbs (skinny 10yr old). Luckily my mother was looking out the window and ran out and dragged her off me while i was holding her above water and running out of breath or I wouldn't be typing this.

Its amazing how easily some people panic!


Haha, good choice!


Glad you enjoyed it!

I pushed back my casino trip to sit on my ass and play Railroad Tycoon III and listen to those vids.

Now imagine he’s hodling Bitcoin too!!!

Whoaza!!!!!  that does look pretty scary for both.  I would not feel too comfortable with the panicking guy grabbing my leg, even if I were to be tethered.


While attempting NOT to get distracted into too many shitcoin details, how can anyone really know about where one shitcoin or another might be going without some kind of real definitive moves/happenings?  Sure, there does seem to be some pumpening of shitcoins momentum going on, but how can we have any kind of confidence in respect to continuations of such?

I have not really seen anything definitive - but hey, I am not really studying (following) the shitcoin space in any detail besides attempting to maintain some superficial levels of awareness regarding some of that - and surely on the margins, there sometimes could be some affects that shitcoins have on short-term moves of dee king daddy... not saying that the tail wags the dog.. but still seems risky to completely ignore some of the behaviors of snot-nosed 14-year olds - and perhaps a few adults, too.

These yearly yield of 14% are never guaranteed.. Can change almost day by day, and I would be not that confident of this yield when we will be for a while again in a bear market... I don't say it is a bad idea, but maybe dont put too much expectation on it (especially for the yield in a medium-long term). And yes, still the risk to loose your fund as well as you send to a exchange / third party your crypto for this kind of stacking.

AKA the Internet.
You just gotta learn to sort the wheat from the chaff.
A skill sadly lacking in this day and age of personnel, swiping device, bubble realities.
Its why a moron got elected as potus in 2016, among other things.


idk...who cares?

Ok I was not quite honest. I sold some BTC in February at the 57K top. The problem is, I bought crypto back after the dump. So all in all I do not have any fiat in my hands again  

I might consider to sell some if we go near 6 digits and stake that as usd coin on crypto.com. Gives a whooping 14% yearly revenue. And if the crypto market crashes, you continue making money with fiat based crypto. That would be 140k a year if you stake 1 million. That's almost 12k a month of passive income with low risk, besides if crypto.com does the mtgox or the fiat currencies completely collapse.

You are absolutely right, It will always go up but why and when it goes up? The straight answer is when Demand is higher than supply. The demand of BTC has grown tremendously during the past six months that was driven by the factors illustrated in attached image: The general perception of common man about Bitcoin is that it can make you Millionaire within very short time and this perception is attracting huge investment in Bitcoin because nobody wants to miss this Bus of opportunity..

As if Biden cares about future generations.

I'm sure by 2030 even more people will be waiting on that helicopter money whilst slaves on the other side of the planet are making the solar panels they need to buy with it.

We need to sit down and watch some Mad Max movies Richy. Do you have Leather chaps by chance?

Gosh, I don't know Hueristic.

I am not even picking on China because it seems that a lot of governments have been wishy-washy (and all over the place) in regards to bitcoin over the years, and maybe it goes to show that we should not be monolithening our thinking about any of the governments - unless somehow they are able to show that they have some kind of consistent policies approach to bitcoin, which there are likely few examples of that - unless it happens to be some small level government - and even China seems way too damned BIG and diverse to coordinate some kind of consistent policies in regards to something like bitcoin - a phenomena that is quite challenging to substantively and meaningfully control any aspect of it.

Does the wishy-washiness signify that we could be winning?  Not sure about that, either, except bitcoin's overall market and price performance in both recent and even longer term assessments, and maybe even some lackenings in abilities for a variety of governments to coordinate hostile government policies against bitcoin in any kind of sweeping sense, including that institutions (and even BIGGER and public players) are increasingly coming into bitcoin (even with some bitcoin-friendly policies in that regard) - does seem to show that "we" may well be "winning", at least for the time being.

Destroy the economy and nobody has any reason or funds to travel. Simple.
