or am i just looking at this thing on a too short time-frame.
This. And look forwards as well as backwards.
As has been quoted here a lot recently, in 2011 BTC had its first break out and many of the early adopters cashed out "we'll never see prices as high as $32" they said, especially after it went back down to $5.
The reason Risto esp mentions this a lot is because the circumstances for XMR are both similar and better than those in 2011; that's why most of the old lags here are not selling.
Check out the registration date on my profile. I watched it all. Sitting patiently.
WoW!! I imagine you have some wallets that bring tears to the eye.
And bravo on still being here and still helping people.
Na. I was an idiot. I watched and learned. Not making those mistakes again.
