For the record, I did put what little life savings I had into bitcoin and I never even thought about selling. And I'm looking at nearly 50% profits now, simply by holding.
If I posted how much I'm up, Mat would probably jump from the roof.
Yeah, I'm a shit trader. Knew nothing about markets back when I entered back in late 2013. Bought part of my stash at 1k+, kept buying on the way down and eventually reached an average in the 400s. Not ideal, but all considered, acceptable.
