Damn! I'm the OP and I want this thread to die.....jeez.....anyway here we are again, with the usual FUD below:
The FUD seems fierce today!

1) On the one hand, have enough $$ to live on my lovely ghetto suburban lifestyle w/o issue...with traditional stocks and no debt...did not do so...still was working...
2) Then it became evident in 2017 I have enough crypto to (if had to panic sell) and live in the lovely ghetto suburban lifestyle w/o traditional investments above...still was working
3) When BTC went above 10k with other Alts also up....cracked like a walnut and retired on 1/14/18... want to go 3 years and live off crypto till I'm 66 years
and then touch traditional investments and social security at full benefits...mining this year.....cash out alts next 2 years....BTC hoard safe

Well, maybe I jinxed the works...but that is the goal..thus riding waves...it is not like under any circumstances 'likely' I will do any worse
then my current ghetto suburban lifestyle that I had working...indeed.....this price keeps me from blowing crypto on retirement.....it is a cruel fate!
So the fickle, finger of FUD repeats itself!
