If you are suggesting half a decade to become filthy [rich], then you are suggesting two up cycles?

One up cycle will be normal rich/comfortable, and the next cycle will lock in "filthy" status.

What about the guys (and gal) who blow their loads on this next cycle? 

Are you sure that they are not going to screw up their own situations?

I do agree with a kind of presumption that anyone investing in bitcoin and largely aiming at accumulating is likely going to be able to do much better than those people who do not invest in bitcoin, yet there is also a phenomenon in which a large number of people make a sufficient number of ongoing mistakes that causes them to largely financially perform mediocrely rather than really being able to prosper from their bitcoin investment/involvement.

I likely could even include myself in such mediocre performance group.... because I have been maneuvered out of a certain meaningful quantity of my coins... What is the percentage of BTC HODLers who really figure out ways to play their investment to a kind of perfection?  besides hairy?  (hahahahaha... I believe that even hairy will admit to some mistakes, perhaps?)

Anyone who has been through at least one up and down cycle going to proclaim that s/he has not made any mistakes in their bitcoin investment?

Maybe I should not be fighting you too much in regard to your proclamations of impending richie status on the masses of regular WO participants, cAPSLOCK?  There likely are a decent number of regular WO participants (at least historical ones) who have already come quite close to locking in a kind of richie status, especially if they have largely held through a couple of up/down BTC price cycles.. and even if they may have made a decent number of mistakes, they still may have been able to achieve a decent amount of richie status, so long as staying persistent in mostly HODL through more than one up/down BTC price cycles.. Is that what we are saying, cAPSLOCK?  You must have at least a couple of up/down BTC price cycles under your belt, cAPSLOCK?  But you are not already at "filthy" status?

By the way, I do not consider myself at "filthy" status yet, but maybe i would not need two more cycles to achieve "filthy" status, and maybe one more cycle (this current one) would be good enough for me?  Perhaps.? let's see how it goes and whether I screw anything up in my own approach. (we have discussed before that filthy status has both objective and subjective elements to it, so whether my filthy status involves less than 1 BTC or 10 BTC or more than 50 BTC would likely be a matter of OPsec privacy.... )
