By the middle of next year, it could be pretty quiet in the WO. Well... except for JJG of course.

I am a human, so you never know. I could become either incapacitated or dead... .

Surely, I prefer to live, and enjoy BTC proceeds - and surely it remains very difficult to justify any BTC spending at these levels, even if my coins are still well over 4x in profits - but after nearly a 84% correction, even I am a bit despondent regarding this whole situation - even while I feel much better (but still similar) than I did in late 2014/early 2015 when the BTC price was first dipping into the sub $200 prices, and my portfolio had dipped to about its so far maximum lowest negativity, which was a bit more than 65% in the red.

I had some other non-bitcoin related financial cash flow issues (difficulties) in early 2015 that exacerbated the negative price pressure that BTC was putting on me (with my funds that I invested and was willing to lose everything BTC related), that caused me some inabilities to really take advantage of low BTC prices in early 2015, and I was only able to marginally correct those in mid to late 2015 in order to buy more BTC and to bring down my BTC average. One bitter-sweet things about those BTC in 2015 was that each one (or more accurately fraction of one) that I bought in 2015, brought down my BTC costs per BTC a lot for every dollar value that I put in.

A couple items of note. I recall not really being able to buy under $200 for a variety of reason, including my own fear of my cash flow, but I bought $100 worth at $182... hahahahahha.. and think about that, nearly .55BTC for $100, but still scary at that time to acquire with such uncertainties in the air.

Second, through much of 2015, I had one "friend" who was generally aware of my cashflow issues and generally aware that I had a decent amount of BTC that I was not selling but just buying whenever I came across an additional $10 or so that I could throw in once a week or every few days if I came across some extra money. During that time, that friend was nearly constantly on my back about how "dumb" I was and really attempting to be sincere to inform me that BTC prices would never return above $300, so I was wasting my "extra money" and efforts in the BTC direction. I would tell this "friend" that it was annoying for me to receive "lecturing" when such "friend" did not have much if any clue beyond mainstream talking points in regards to advising me about the supposed futility of investing into BTC.
