I hodl my fiat and never short 
im always shorting, until something good hits with bitcoin.
but at the same always buying back in if theres a $50 difference to get for cheaper. But, most of the time its also the same if theres a $30-40 increase as well. Average holding though for me is usually 2 weeks then a 1 lump sum sell off.

Ah, no... I was long starting in 2011.
Remember those prices then, clueless?
Oh, now you bought and hold since 2011, why not said it was 2009 right after sotoshi? Is this so called self-lying thing? pathetic.
Any way, are you ready to go back to 2011 and get nothing after 5 years bags holding? you might also lose that little first cost when this ponzi scheme ends 0$.

i'd never short bitcoin, way to risky
Well sadly I wasn't short. Shorters would've made 105% on a 20x short.
Coincidence? Or the deafening cosmic gong of predestination?

Im holding long term and buying monthly, sometimes I buy some stuff with it of no importance, little auto gifts i like to make to myself to celebrate gains on my tradings.
166 phase wasn't even a phase(actually some sites report 156 but whatever), i remember it lasted like few seconds or something, was more like a negative peak
yeah i agree we are leaving the despair phase with all those recent news, i sense a less bearish market now, the swings are also more strict
yeah i agree we are leaving the despair phase with all those recent news, i sense a less bearish market now, the swings are also more strict
you mean the market is now more choppy.
And hopium is not always good.
Sure but that peak is a lot better of a despair phase then the chop zone we are in now
yeah i find the market a bit more "tired", it is like if all the shorters don't want to short anymore, and they become bullish traders
a slowly reverse of the previous trend
Okay, glass can be both half full and half empty.

outside from daytrading and what not, you guys actually looking at the core flaw of bitcoin.
cause I see it from a transaction point of view, if its not used daily or whatever the coin will take 2 weeks in the longer term. you can talk about market fee, but whats fair for as a market fee? on finding your bitcoin..

And you know what.
About the despair phase. I don't really think we're in a despair phase right now.
Despair phase could have been the 166 phase.
Anyways, do you really think people are in despair right now? I think there's actually a bit of Hopium with the Nasdaq news.

it was a typo there i mean raise not drop, anyway what happen if you can't pay your debt with the bullish guy?
"borrowing money from longer" mean exactly that you borrewed money from a bull guy like you said in the post above...
and about despair phase...it is known that we are in a despair phase, you don't need to look at any chart
in the end i'm not arguing that there aren't money to be made in the end, it just more difficult and more risky, the risky is above the gain, especially if you are not really into trading

Well if you get too much into debt you'll be force liquidated.
And you borrow Bitcoins from the Bullish guy. The bullish guy is really bullish so the daily interest is less than 0.02% interest which is dirt cheap.
And with futures there is no swap costs. And for shorting usually you receive interest because futures are bullish and is usually above index.
I never said shorting isn't risky. But longing can also be risky also.
Or you might be able to wait and find a better long entry. You don't always need to be in a position.
Every dollar you have that is not invested in bitcoin and kept in USD, is in effect a short against bitcoin.
Sure. But its also a 1x short.
Also some people trade to accumulate USD. So they just wait for trade opportunities.
Secondly, you can keep a USD balance and receive incredible interest from it. That's 30% yearly with quite a low risk.
And it can be quite risky to get full exposure into Bitcoin.
