option 1 not gonna happen anytime soon, you need a new altcoin with plenty of new features, to destroy bitcoin, or a 51% attack maybe ...

This is what happened to me.
Last year, I sold part of my holdings at $130, when it crashed a little. Then after a few days, it becomes $300 +. I sold out the rest.
Whoa, in a few weeks, price hits $1000. And I just stared at it.

So, incidentally, I hate losing out to a pump than of a temporary price crash.
(And I should be buying low and selling high.)

Which one are you more scared of/hate more?


I sold at 150$ right before the big surge. I sold more later and bought back and managed to turn a profit, but I also got wiser.

i really don't understand how you can vote option 2.

It's simple avoid that fear: don't sell!

Instead, for option one, there's nothing i/we can do...

first scenario: I will have nothing
second scenario: I will have something

seems second option still better than first one

A, you invest $100, which presumably you could afford, BTC collapses.  -$100 from where you would have been had you made the opposite choice.

B, you fail to invest $100, and BTC appreciates to $1,000.  -$900 from where you would have been had you made the opposite choice.

You can only compare a decision to the alternative decisions you could have made, and the difference between the value of each choice is how the proper choice is made.  Losing an easily affordable sum is clearly a less bad outcome than failing to make an enormous profit.

Additionally, the possible downside from the initial $100 investment is limited, while the failure to capitalize on a vast appreciation is potentially unlimited in scope.

Considering further that the odds of BTC suddenly losing all its value is infinitesimal and the odds of it appreciating in value is high, the potential loss from failing to invest is higher than that from investing and losing.

I am afraid that the amount of fuel the Bitcoin rocket gathered over the past months, it might blast off to the sun and get burnt.

Bitcoin going over the roof, but unluckily foolishly you have sold out your entire bitcoin?

ftfy

Never go full fiat.

I never gamble more than 10% of my coins.

This, I actually have no spare fiat at the moment. Only some for paying bills and food Grin

Great thread! I voted for option 2. But, since I have Bitcoin, I should probably be afraid of a crash Cheesy

It is better to have bought and lost than to have never bought at all.

Oh boy! Seriously?! Why would it be better to have bought and lost already than to just watch the charts and not lose at all???

I would rather have bought and lost, than to be on the outside looking in, at all the ones who made great profits.

You rather buy and lose than buy and win right?? LOL you really are an idiot  Roll Eyes



Thats not what I said. I said I would rather buy and lose, than NOT buy and watch the price go up without me.

Thats what "outside looking in" means. Google it, educate yourself, idiot!

Let me know when you need some more schooling kid

Hahahahaha

That was the dumbest thing I ever heard... you would rather buy and lose money than not buy and not lose money but watch the price go up?

LOL!

Who got hurt more the people buying at $1,100+ or the people who didn't own bitcoin but watched the chart???
You now have over 5 posts of you being a complete idiot... please just stop posting in this section

Yes. I would rather buy 1 coin at $300, and risk losing $300, than to not buy at $300 and watch the price go to $1000, effectively losing $700 in gains that I could have had.

This is what the OP is asking. You now have 1002 post of being a complete idiot. I think you are the one that should not be in this section.

LOL Please put your bitcoins where your mouth is and escrow bet me a "fewcoins" hahah you won't even answer your messages because you know you make no sense!

You should only be afraid of option 2, because option 2 is a predefined fail; it should be a straight choice between...

Afraid of crash / Afraid of moon.

There should be no qualifier, because this makes it a leading question (you can only choose option 2 as it stands).

Once the question has been rephrased then it becomes a useful tool:

If you are afraid of crash, you have too many bitcoin.
If you are afraid of moon, you do not have enough.
