Fair enough.. but I said that holding also includes continuing to buy, and ends up being a profitable strategy, when done with prudence.. especially when BTC prices are likely going to be higher in the future than they are today.. especially if you are able to take at least a 5 year investment timeline to establish your btc stake by accumulating, buying on dips.. and various other forms of incrementalism practices, such as selling small amounts of BTC as the price goes up in order to buy lower than you sell and to sell higher than you buy.


I don't short BTC.  I mostly long btc and I skim profits on the way up (and if the bTC price goes back down, I use dollars from skimmed profits on the way up to buy back more BTC than I sold - that is to the extent that the BTC price goes down after i had sold some).    Works well, and does not involve emotions, such as anger as you seem to want to project upon me (perhaps while you are looking in the mirror regarding your own anger issues - at least seemingly butt-hurt issues).


Again.. no emotions here.  I have a strategy that attempts to largely remove emotions out of the actual practice.. and largely I have been increasing the increments that I trade, too so that not as many sell or buy orders are triggered.. which causes even less emotion from me.

On the other hand, you might catch me getting worked up, a bit, about FUD spreading, sorcerer seeking and selective history bear trolls like yourself who seem to be inclined to spread misinformation about your own historical record and mislead about what is important in bitcoin, including assigning pie in the sky probabilities while trying to assert that you have some kind of scientific insight about BTC's price direction (which tends to be down from your historical presentations), while you tend to have a decently large history of being wrong - and perhaps you serve as a kind of reverse indicator regarding actual likely BTC price direction.


In other words, you come out of the wood-work from time to time while presenting some kind of nonsensical doom and gloom message.... so perhaps there is some consistency with you in that regard, like roach, constantly losing in your BTC price projections.... While at least you try to suggest that you remain in the game.. but likely making similar (and maybe worse ) mistakes as roach.. with your ongoing betting when roach's bet is just a failure to realize gain rather than actively losing money, which seems to be a decent part of your ongoing bitcoin plays.
