Haven't been online much recently, did I miss much here?
Hi again to fellow hat wearers out there
Price went up, then it went down and then it went back up again.
It's only been a couple of months, I remember the drop, looks like price has moved up nicely from the $7K area where I thought it would pull-back
Hopefully I've come back in time to try and pick out the short-term top of this nice rally
But likelihood is I'll be wrong again
Surely, as you have suggested, nothing can be taken for granted in bitcoin.
Many times it would be logical to presume that if there is a lot of UPward BTC price movement, then a correction would be in order. However, we have crossed a decent amount of these sub $10k prices several times in the past, and sometimes bitcoin has shown itself to just be tired of continuing to pass through a range that it has passed through so many times.
In other words, sometimes it just becomes time to move on and to move up... but when that time comes is frequently difficult to identify with any kind of short-term precision.. so frequently, the most profitable folks in bitcoin seems to be those who error on the side of mostly preparing for UP, and maybe taking a slight hedging position in down - even though the down hedging position could remove some of the UP profits, in the even that outrageous exorbitant UP ends up coming at some point... which is far from guaranteed.
why don't you "deversify" into ledger?
I don't even do hardware wallets.
software...software makes me nervous
I started hating both ledger and trezor when they opened to shitcoins. I hoped that at least Slush would have saved trezor from altcoins.
I only wanted a Bitcoin hardware wallet! Was I asking too much?
So I got rid of my Nano s and trezor one.
Real hodlers use paper wallets.
Shit like mindrust want happen with it.
A. number one in security
B. takes to long to sent coins to exchange to panic sell
C. to lazy to even get going, hodle on
I agree that there can be some advantage to having some of your coins in places that are not easy to access for security and plausible deniability purposes; however, one of the primary tools to arm a HODLer from engaging in panic behavior continues to be having solid planning and preparation for outrageous BTC price moves (whether we are talking down or up).
Some HODLers know that it is NOT a good thing to gamble too much of their stash, but they do it anyhow, and maybe they even know that they are inclined to panic, but they still keep the panic option open with the placement of their coins and in their own minds where they mentally keep such panic options open.
Even though there are a decent number of supporters (advocates) of paper wallets, I have doubts about whether they are really the remedy for a large number of BTC HODLers, including HODLers with weak minds and otherwise weak and inadequate preparations.
