How I feel observing this thread for the last couple of months:

HA!

HA HA ! I am clearly the best looking.

RobSteward... You where more courageous than I was!... I stood on the side lanes for at least 1 year before joining the forum. I just kept reading for a year what nonsense JJG was saying and decided I need to step in and put him in his place of mediocre amateur writing!!! The horror!!! ... He really is a terribly bad writer, doesn't appeal too much to the public...

I just had enough of JJG... that was my trigger of joining the forum.

But good luck to you in making it big and becoming a big shot and big talker here in this place!

I'm glad something motivated you to get off your skinny fat ass, even though many of your posts seem to devolve into a kind of nonsensical rambling. Nonetheless, sounds like you are fighting the "good fight" with your alleged obsession to troll yours truly, and you seem to demonstrate by example that a HODL strategy can work.. and perhaps your participation in this thread has helped you in such HODL resolution, even if such resolution came through osmosis rather than conscientious efforts.

Well... I was looking for a forum or some place where I could learn or someone who could teach me how to read charts and understand how to trade. And this was the place. I didn't trade long, just for a year or so. For now I'm waiting on a blockchain based exchange so I can play again. I'm not trusting any exchange anymore, even if I didn't lost a penny. It is just out of my understanding how others can give their money away in the possession of someone else.

Sure, when it comes to exchanges we are surely in the very early stages of a transitional phase into decentralized exchanges, and in that regard, currently, centralized exchanges seem to provide a vast majority of current liquidity - and therefore seem to serve as a kind of necessary evil - until alternative mechanisms can develop and even facilitate high levels of liquidity that seems to be mostly offered, currently, through our existing exchanges.

I used to have more than 50% of my bitcoin value (which includes some of my fiat that is dedicated to bitcoin) distributed amongst various exchanges; however, currently, I am around 20% - yet one good thing about BTC price appreciation is that I can consider a lot of my trading funds to be a kind of "house money" since my BTC investment seems to be quite safely over 30x in terms of profits...

NOT a bad place to be. Wink
