If you are a long term holder or contributor to the technology the whole speculator scene affects you little if at all, unless you choose to pay attention to it.

WTB long term holder XMR

WTS speculator XMR

From your nickname it sounds like you have the right package, but don't put all your eggs in one er... basket Wink

Yeah, well if you are a supporter and long time hodler you will know what the message behind those statements is Grin

I think I do, was chasing Monero before it was on Polo, I remember when the name was decided.....

Well, then sit back, have a cup of tea and wait for the bloodbath when BTC retraces --> weak hands = cheap XMR

I don't intend to wait until the bloodbath, I like to sell too early

XMR or BTC

A little sensible profit taking in both, after nearly five years? About now will be as good a time as any (other than 'too late' time), since if BTC does crash, I will kick myself. If it doesn't - and if it goes up more after, what I have left in the game will still bring me some benefit.

It's just trying to minimise tax that's the headache... I have come to the conclusion it's less complicated to just pay up, rather than wait until clever pension stuff is arranged, which I have just found could take longer than the BTC bubble might last.

EDIT: Quote tidy up!
