everything should pump now with my actions...it always does

wow yeah I thought I was the only one with that gift lol. Grin

You are not only one. If you were only one then price dropped to almost 0 and you had all. There are a lots of people who are holding.

I am also holding but not too much.

well seems now I have 87.45 btc and 100 bch abc and 100 bch sv..plus the other assorted BTC forked coin I've not messed with. Dumped the last of my LTC. Have other coins that are so low not worth moving.

so hell just hodl'ing all ...so I'm not tossing rocks either ....will see how it goes...

everything should pump now with my actions...it always does

I think you will get good profit once it bump.

its all this EATING and putting a roof over your head and clothing and bathing and smelling nice for others...etc etc...eats up my crypto ACK!

but again, if it is a choice of burning all my crypto in the next 1.5 years (retire 1 yr early soc sec and traditional investments) or 2.5 years (hold off with crypto till full 66 years on all)

I will dump the works not to work for anyone again. (would retire early however at 65 as not to kill all crypto if that was the case)

so worse case for me..is I retire 3 years early and still have tulips and beanie baby BTC and altcoins

(I need a better outlook on all this ..that was just dismal)

later

I think you have done the right thing Searing.

I do have one question though: You have just now cashed out $100K+ right? I know living is expensive in USA, ok........ but.... isn't that enough to cover 2.5 years of living expenses?

13 BTC was at a bit under 4K BTC about 50.?K after fees etc...with the LTC after taxes..and my health insurance for the year..last year before Medicaid I will take

out as well...I may have 30k left a bit more

with other coins (at less lousy prices) I've sold as cash in the bank..call it 35k no debts house paid no rent should get me by 'supposedly' till dec 2019 or so.

Also, keeping it in cash...I see a pretty good recession in the USA coming..I figure 40% correction ..it is gonna suck...

so I wish it was 100k with the LTC dump and the 13 BTC dump ...but really with the $7,200, I got for the last of my LTC about $50.?k with fees out.

you do what you have to ...got to eat...etc and stay retired till my full retirement at 66 or 1 year short at 65 years in the USA.

'needs must, when the devil drives'

CMC futures the end of this month those will suck in that I expect most thought sideways or up on BTC price and the SEC will likely reject ETF's IMHO,

folk have to sell BTC or altcoins like me to stay crypto retired or to not go back to

work for someone else now that their 3-year say self-employed miner or data hall pow mining is done..as an example..gonna be a lot of that...

I have no intention

of working for anyone again....the continuing war with craig wright and roger ver over 'everything' crypto related eventually...wars will continue...

my modest wish that is that, at worst, 4k becomes the next sideways....sh*t could get a lot worse..thus me panic'ing like a 9-year-old girl and selling

it was time to panic from HODL'ing from 18k to under 4k...(I'm an idiot)
I got this BTC well before 2015 or so......so...I'm not hurting on this by any means...

whatever, next year or most of it is covered now....keep out of debt...sell some stuff in the attic (attic mining) and convert to BTC ..$5k of crap up there

motivated to get and set aside some dust from selling crap I likely will die with otherwise...

you don't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need

brad

edit: yes I have over 100k of coin cashed out this year..but some went into equipment...a lot was less than 1 year and 1 day so short-term cap gains

so I could fill a solo 401k within 2017 to save on some taxes...some of that was to pay 2018 taxes...lives on probably 40k of that....so yeah...crap

tends to run out $$$ wise....I'm out of mining except for like 5 obelisk machines (previously for 2 months doorstops till the evil fork of siacoin which

saved me..mixed feelings on the fairness of that, however) anyway ...they and other ASIC makers could very well go bankrupt at these crypto prices

which will be more BTC and crypto dumped

but without mining, next year and the above sale of crypto LTC and 13 BTC and me ALSO taking out say 30k out of my traditional investments as cash

to fix up the house or for my own use. (hedging goes both ways I expect a major recession..taking some cream off the crop rather than waiting the

traditional 5-7 years or more for a recession stock recovery...better to use it on the house now for increased house value as a hedge)

So anyway, I'm hedging all over the place, if late, with bailing on BTC.

If I am wrong, I have more $$$ in crypto and traditional investements....no loss, all gain...

If I am right, I have my 'little' ass covered so that I can stay retired...

my coping mechanism is to be proactive on this kinda stuff, recessions suck, working for someone else sucks, if I lose some $$$ and gain some

peace of mind in 2019 because of the above hedges, so be it
