Time to fulfill Afrikoin's prophecy.
I'm already sold out and waiting for $750.

Not 100% on 750 but I'm in fiat unless it pops up convincingly through those walls. It's been a bit of a slow grind down so we'll see where it bottoms out. I hope Africoin is correct.

You playing your whole investment on down?

Wow!!!! If so, you sound like an irrational gambler.

Don't judge my rationality, bro.

$ 1200 was a pretty sale, soon it'll be time to rebuy Wink

There could be some ways to rationally set up trades that bet 100% of your holdings, but to me, I am having difficulties imagining such, even in the hypothetical.

Sounds like a bit crazy kind of rationality to bet all in one direction that does not prepare for the possibility of the other direction in a system that is far from having probabilities of anywhere near 100% in either direction at any given time.

If you, or anyone else is able to explain a rational approach for such betting, the I would surely like to attempt to receive such edumacation.

Are you aware that you are trying to rationalise against something that you are ALMOST doing? (there's not much difference between 90% and 100%).

I don't know if the price will go up or down.... just making a point about something I find a bit incoherent.

I think that you are missing some points, possibly.

BTC constitutes less than 30% of all of my quasi-liquid investments, and within my BTC portfolio, I buy BTC on the way down and I sell BTC on the way up, and currently within my BTC portfolio I have about 90% in BTC and 10% in dollars. That can still add up to a lot of funds in dollars.

If BTC prices go down 50%, I will still probably have nearly 98% of my funds in BTC, and I try to never run out of dollars in order to buy BTC on the way down (so I allocate small portions to continue to have dollars and kind of anticipate up and down volatility, rather than straight down). Further, if BTC goes up 4x, I will still likely have more than 85% in BTC.. It is like raking off the profits, but still having lots of BTC and end up having lots of dollars too.

Funny how it works like that. I don't think you can accomplish anything similar with your investment by having 100% in dollars? makes no sense to me.

Sure, I could allocate in different proportions, but my system seems to work pretty good, and it was even working good when my BTC balance was floating between 93% and 98% - however, recently, I had some of my own issues that caused me to have my current 90% allocation, which is a bit more lopsided towards dollars than my overall preference. I am constantly selling on the way up and constantly buying on the way down and reconsidering - which direction to tweak - but I do not take radical moves such as selling anymore than 5% at a time, even though I could foresee maybe selling a bit higher of a proportion if the market might seem to call for such.
