personally, i lost the will to fight after the UASF drama this past summer. i'd been fighting big blockers (here and on social media) for two years already. then all of a sudden, people who i considered friends began promoting an incompatible fork (BIP148) on a 2-month timeline, and they tried to coerce me into running BIP148 against my will under the threat of a wipeout attack (massive chain reorg).
now i'm a purely rational actor. i only care what the market does, and i'm damn good at hedging my portfolio. and yes, that means i doubled my trading account flipping BCH yesterday while those same BIP148 supporters were hysterically angry and fearful of BCH's rise in price.
good on you, i guess. but you're expecting people to be irrational. i think BCH has terrible fundamentals, but i don't fight the market. in a way, it's good that i felt so betrayed by the bitcoin community back in july. now i am a battle-hardened and purely rational. emotions and bias will only hurt you in the world of trading and investment.
Even thou your comment was answer on some other comments I needed to quote just you cause I completely agree with you. Everyone should care about personal portfolios, we can`t fight against whales and bears and what ever, just look at the market and follow if you can. Emotions on a side this game needs to be played with cool head. What ever people say here or anywhere about bitcash it seems that market is accepting it other way. In past week bitpay, coinbase and others start to accept bitcash and price went up, bitcoin down. Have both wait and sell when you make enough profit, play rational and don`t be greedy.
