Actually it would prove everything.
That was such an epic thread that brought out all the good bugs and cypherdoc haters because I had the gall to call the top. It was an extremely tense 4 months of posting; basically me against everyone else. It was so controversial that I would think you'd have gotten involved supporting me if you had indeed sold or gone short like I did. It doesn't make sense you'd stay away given how intense you've been concerning your love of gold and especially silver that you've demonstrated over the last year or so in this very thread.
Posting or not in one thread does not prove or disprove my actions in real life. The world does not revolve around you and your threads. That fact that you seem to think this is the case is very shocking to me. Your using this to base that you think I'm a fraud makes me question your abilities at logic.
Like I said I was highly interested in BTC and the time and had not only sold off all my gold, but my wife's as well to get BTC and mining equipment. I did not care about gold at the time as I did not hold it and was not going to get it anytime soon. I became more interested in gold and silver when silver was getting close to $18.50 my first buy back in point.
I do not love gold or silver. I think it is a smart fraction of any sane persons investment portfolio. I hold 85% Crypto, 10% PMs and 5% cash.
I'm sorry I did not defend you for the difficult 4 months you had on this BTC forum but really that was not my battle. I was busy making money...
Edit: This thread has become focused on me and what I might have done 10 plus years ago. I'm going to stay away for a couple of days and hopefully this gets back on topic. Insult me all you want if it makes you feel better but I have better things to do. Peace.
I'm not attacking you but it did strike me as odd that you've made this claim.
That thread, like this one, speaks for itself in terms of popularity. It was front and center of the Speculation forum that whole time with as many, if not more replies per time period as this one.
You were also quite active as a poster, as you are now. It would have been natural for you to be a part of the discussion like you are now. The whole concept of Bitcoin as a replacement for gold was not nearly as clear as it is now.
Hindsight is 20/20.
