I have found the exact post/decision where I fucked it all badly at the ATH.
Yeah, stops are not foolproof but are better than nothing.
Should have listened TERA right there:
If Tera ever returns people should show due respect. Until he/she/it irritates enough people that they all start up sniping again.
You make no sense.
Tera was calling for prices to go down from $2k all the way up to $20k, so of course, she was going to be correct sooner or later.
Sure, she knew about various trading dynamics, but the extent to which you are suggesting that she is some kind of sorcerer, seems both unnecessary and even a mischaracterization regarding anyone's ability to foresee where the price is going to go.
Called it in 2013 too.
To me it all depends on how big the potential is.
I consider that bitcoin would be worth (in time) no less than $1 tril, maybe much more.
All ups and downs in AMZN and profit taking were WRONG moves until $1 tril valuation.
A simple hold was the only right move because no way one could have followed it's precipitous ups and downs.
I was shaken out of AAPL after the first 10X during bear market, consequently missed on another 10-20X.
I say that btc is worth 1 tril and will not trade until then.
IF btc would be thrown out (fail), then I took my risk and something else would have to pay the bills in eventuality.
