Well played. I keep toying with the idea of getting back into trading, but I worry that I'll be sloppy because I was able to so easily collect so many coins in the fall from $32 to $2. In a sense, that sloppiness is why I lost 150-170 coins in Bitcoinica. It didn't feel like I was risking anything, but I don't want to fall into that trap again, which is why I moved everything offline for a while.

In the days of the run-up to $15.xx I was convinced a crash was coming and wanted to move everything to MtGox to take advantage of it, but (1) all my coins were offline without any digital copies, and (2) I was out of town and had no way to access my paper wallets. That's the trade-off I consciously made, of course. And there's no way to know that if I hadn't done that I wouldn't have lost a bunch in trading throughout the year. But my certainty of the impending crash this go around has me feeling a measure of regret in getting so protective.
You funny.
