This dip came perfectly for me. Now it can go back to 10k+, I don't mind.

I can correct a bit about this, because I'm currently working here, a little concerned about the news. This escape took place, but it was unsuccessful because Vietnam had tightened the border, they lined up with thousands of people and asked to cross the border, however, they were not allowed. Anyway, Vietnam is still doing its job well. I saw this news more than 7 days ago. About a thousand people wanted to cross the border but failed 

Wup wup congrats Hairy! Being a bull pays off! 

Oh yeah... i had lost track about the exact ending date of such bet, which seems to have unambiguously ended on the 19th.. .

I recall that V8 had wanted the date of the bet to run one year from the time that the bet was made, which seemed kind of long, but reasonable, too, and so yeah, I was able to find the series of posts (below)

Seems like it should not be a problem to receive payment from V8 within a few days of the ending of the time-period of the bet, and of course, there could be reasons that reasonable delays of payment could happen, too.

Actually, the amount of .012 BTC did NOT really seem to be too much at the time, but surely we consider that the price of BTC has gone up nearly 3x, so the amount does seem like a bit more, when thinking about it currently.

 

Oh my!!!!!!!!

The above does not paint me in a very good light. 

so embarrassing.

If you are in the accumulation phase of your bitcoin, then any spending of bitcoin should be obviously considered as having a replacement (a subsequent buy).

Once you get to your maintenance or liquidation phase, then you are likely to have a bit more flexibility, which might allow you to  consider the size and/or portion of your bitcoin a little bit differently, and surely maintenance means what it's name implies.....

In other words, no matter what phase you are in, you should be considering how you are spending your money in terms of gresham's law, and of course, spending the worse monies first, and if you are really depleting the size of your bitcoin holdings because of spending, then you likely have invested too much into bitcoin....   I am not saying that there is NOT any value in spending bitcoin, and I have spent some and found some value in trying to play around or figure out the bitcoin ecosystem in that direction... ... and so spending bitcoin would merely amount to whatever it's dollar value at the time, and so who fucking cares if it would add up to a $million right now.. because you still have to live, and most people can only stock so much away into investing, anyhow.

Surely, any of us who have the ability or the actual fortune to have an income that is greater than our living expenses should feel grateful to be able to do that, but we are still tasked with trying to figure out our own budgets and figuring out how much to live within our means including the value of deferred gratification, when possible.   So, yeah, it makes way more sense to be living it up with a lot of luxuries maybe including buying cups of coffee when you can make it much cheaper without loss of quality and when you have a lot of extra value coming in versus if you are in a stage of setting up your investments, including if you are in a BTC accumulation stage.

You do what the fuck you like, lambie bambie.  I could give less than two shits. 


This 1-10% message is talking to the everybody and to the no coiner to get the fuck off of zero.  Hey, yeah, I get it that many active participants in this thread are already off of zero and are already likely in the 1-10% arena, if not higher, but ultimately, whatever people do, they are best to be tailoring their approach to their own situations in terms of their cash flow, other investments, view of bitcoin versus other investments, timeline, risk tolerance and time and skills to learn more and/or manage their portfolios including trading and making sure that their life expenses are adequately covered.

Getting off of zero is going to come a long way for a lot of people, especially since we still likely are not even approaching 1% of the world population into bitcoin in any kind of meaningful way.

Likely 1-10% speaks to people who are already balls deep into bitcoin too at least in terms of already establishing their initial stake into bitcoin, and surely there is going to be a decent amount of variance in terms of when people got into bitcoin.  Some people may have started out investing into bitcoin in a bit of a timid manner or they really did not have a lot of capital to inject into bitcoin from the start, and they may have even witnessed the 2015-2017 price run while being on the low side of 1-10% or even that amount of money did not add up to very much for them because se they did not have a lot of capital that they were able to work with.

So, yeah, there is likely little to no get rich quick with bitcoin, even though there can be some gambling towards making bets that bitcoin is going to do another exponential growth that did pay off with some luck or could pay off again with some luck, and surely I do not recommend that anyone invest like that, even though there are certain number of people who might be inclined in that direction, and that is on them to tweak their style in that direction, if they so choose.



If you are so fucking stupid as to really believe that long term winning in bitcoin is guaranteed, then that is your choice.  I doubt that very many prudent people agree with you and/or are willing put everything on black in that direction.  I certainly would not recommend such a gambling approach with anything more than a fraction of anyone's wealth or credit.

Surely, if anyone has already been able to ride out one or two exponential periods of bitcoin's growth while having a decent amount of value invested into bitcoin, then there are good chances that the bitcoin portion of their investment has sufficiently increased in value in which they are faced with decisions about whether to reallocate or the extent to which to reallocate - which is also going to depend on their individual circumstances, including their cash flow, other investments, view of bitcoin versus other investments, timeline, risk tolerance and time and skills to learn more and/or manage their portfolios including trading and making sure that their life expenses are adequately covered.

If someone has their life expenses adequately covered and they are pretty solid in their various investments, I surely do not recommend reallocating back down to 1-10%, especially if their gained value has come from bitcoin price appreciation.  There is a kind of concept in investing regarding increasing your chances of getting richie faster and to a higher level by letting your good investments ride (rather than reallocating them), and I am surely not opposed to such an approach to bitcoin, including that I personally invested a bit over 10% in 2013/2014 to establish my initial stake in bitcoin, but my BTC portfolio has grown to become a much greater than 10% portion of my wealth, and in about early 2017 I decided to let that bitcoin aspect ride and have reconfirmed my "let it ride" commitment on a large number of occasions since then. 

But, I consider that my particular fortune in bitcoin should not be skewing either my discussions of the topic in a thread like this with "everybody" or my discussions with the no coiner / fence sitter or the under committed bitcoin investors, and starting with 1% to 10% remains as great starting out recommendations.... that is surely able to be tweaked by anyone who really embarks upon engaging with the various aspects of his/her own situation to tailor his/her BTC investment approach to his/her circumstances -  even while I also understand that if someone is really young, this category of person might hardly have any investments at all, and for those people, they might start out only investing in one asset while they are building their initial stake, which could end up being bitcoin and then branching out after their investment has had some time to mature and appreciate (hopefully, in the case of investing all into bitcoin, their remains a prudent approach that does mature and price appreciates).

I do get the sense that you, lambie bambie, might be one of those snot-nosed younger investors who surely might not have any other investments or responsibilities in life, and surely in those kinds of cases, it could surely be prudent to start out aiming towards 100% start in terms of establishing a stake, and then diversifying as the investment grows including as you might start to perhaps acquire some real world expenses after you move out of grandma's basement.  So, yes, I will concede that there could be some people in which 100% starting out in bitcoin only could be practical and prudent while establishing early investment capital, but that still does not mean that any of this kind of investment approach is generally applicable or that it would even be a prudent approach for a more mature investor who might have a complicated set of expenses and life style that is already staring them in the face while they are considering getting into bitcoin by getting off of zero.

Happens everywhere.
Even Fidelity had some accounts inaccessible today-just when I wanted to make a rare trade (in fiat).

Supposedly Binance is back up...amazing how they 'always' seem to have issues on a major pump in price over a few days or the reverse on a dump in price.

I can see the engine room on the mighty Binance Yacht now! Down in the bowels of the ship this is being bellowed:

'Shut her down boys and girls, its time we polish the brass in the engine room and coast for a bit..till we can fire up and drive through this price/pump/dump storm and tranquil seas"

rinse/wash/repeat

  Bitcoin is distributed perfectly fairly based on the time, effort and passion each person put into acquiring and holding their share.  The only natural implication here is that most people ignored Bitcoin until it was too late for them to afford their "fair" share.  Do people get paid to write this tripe?

Macro cycles, important point to consider.

It's going to be an exciting 2-3 years...#Bitcoin 🚀🚀🚀

HOW MUCH BITCOIN YOU NEED TO BE IN THE RICHEST 1% OF BTC HOLDERS

Moon rocket preparation going along nicely.

https://thehalvening.com/

Give me a bitcoin, and I will hodl it until I can no longer get solid erections.
I will then hire a dozen Cyborg/AI corporations, to successfully address & resolve the issue.

Promise.

What are you talking about?? what's happened??
Turn the monitor over, everything is okay.... Be patient HOLD ON Guys...

"Give a man a bitcoin and he’ll spend it in a day.

Teach a man to hodl bitcoin and he will spend the rest of his time on crypto twitter talking about disintermediation, fall of nation-states, economics, and the rise of sovereign individuals."

Well, since I recently joined a signature campaign that pays me 30 USD worth of BTC per week, I guess this red dildo will be good news for me if it keeps low until I get paid. Looks like a buyers market to me at the moment. Locoiners better jump in while they can, since the halving is coming up.

That was the Bears Waterloo. The tried to get us back under 9k with everything they had but Vegeta was not having it.

The hourly volume was the biggest all year and not seen since around the time the Bargain Boyz stepped in with strong hands in the 6ks last year.

Bears are out of ammo. The next step is to finish them off and humiliate them with new yearly highs.
