you are way the fuck too relying on the down movement scenario, for some strange reason.. even after so much time in this thread...

So, even if you give some credence to the possibilities like diptwats Brandt and Masterluc, you just attempt to prepare for that by having enough dollars in your stash that you do not run out of dollars, in the event that they were to get lucky with their outrageous downward nonsense and it actually ends up coming true...

Of course, even if you had hung onto your 10BTC, you could have just held through the vast majority of this, and maybe ended up selling some on each pump... and maybe by this point, you could have sold 1-2 BTC because you were preparing for down, but you would still have 8BTC... or some other quasi-reasonable and information based approach... rather than complete throwing darts at the wall and then doubling down from the earlier mistake(s).

I am NOT really writing this post just for you, mindrust.  There are other members who need to attempt to consider the value of moderation and not to make mistakes in terms of the mindrust meltdown.
