Alright, then please name me one Member of WO who did explicitly expect that you would sell the bottom.
If you can't, you indirectly prove the black swan criteria as true. (Something happening nobody expected).

Go on. I can play well Grin

Maybe it was a black swan even only for me.

How did you (or any of you) get affected by my decision?

That's a different question, but i stopped trusting that anybody here who is claiming to never-go-mindrust would not go mindrust at some point. It's about credibility and the message it sends out to the world. "See: Even the most hardest bitcoin believers abandon ship at some point"-type of narrative. This has consequences. You change a single parameter in a complex system, you watch many other parameters change as well afterwards.
This is a hefty warping of WO reality. Don't try to play it down.

Something seems slightly wrong with your thinking on this topic, Oom - or maybe it is just your presentation.

My opinion is that the more that any of us prepares for a variety of scenarios (including extreme scenarios), the less likely that any of us is going to perform some act that seems to be outrageously inconsistent with our past discussions regarding our preparations, plans or BIG goals, which a certain amount of consistency seems to reflect our character, so in that regard, many of us continue to be a bit shocked and taken aback by mindrust because he spent so much time discussing his various strategies and even a certain amount of the extremes, including his mindset to a considerable degree.. that he was just seeming willing to just throw out the window all of a sudden...

Sure, he has the right to do that.. and sure it is going to piss a lot of people off because it was seemingly quite a bit removed from what he had been disclosing his plans, scenarios and even extremes of such.

Members even talk about various scenarios in which they are going to do certain things, and of course, none of us mere mortals can plan all of the specifics, and surely sometimes, we might just end up pulling the trigger or going to beyond our plan.. that is all within reasonableness that we might become emotional and even engage in some extreme inconsistent actions, and we are free to do those kinds of things because we should have a decent amount of discretion and authority in regards to our own BTC holdings.

Of course, some of us might have a significant other, family or even business relations (fiduciary duties) that might limit some of the scope of our discretion, yet I still would not consider it crazy for members to engage in buying or selling of BTC activities that go somewhat beyond their previously described plans and scenarios.

Another bothersome aspect of mindrust might have to do with his seemingly conversion into a kind of nocoiner perspective.. which is really irritating and really not justified, even given that he did seem to paint himself in a corner to some extent.

you where in this space as a coiner and now as a nocoiner... this is pity... you did’t deserve to end up coinless Undecided

I am not a nocoiner though. Small coiner (or less coiner?) maybe.

You only told to sold all and maybe to buy back a very little something, so at this point its still no-coiner

When someone publicly said to have sold all... then its difficult to believe to have bought back at higher prices especially with someone that praised the DCA strategy on a daily basis ....

So to quote JJG, a link or it didn't happen Tongue

But, within reason, he already told us dood..... I would not conclude that mindrust has become so untrustworthy that we cannot, at all, rely on any of his representations, even though I understand that a number of people are going to develop increasingly high levels of skepticism regarding whether mindrust might be pulling our leg in some regards.

Sure, he is being a little bit vague (but what do you expect), but the thrust still remains that soon after his having had sold all of his coins in the $4,500 range, then he said that he was considering buying some back under certain continued BTC price drop conditions, and he did not buy any back at that time. Then he said that he was going begin some kind of wimpy-ass DCA, such as $50 per week, and he may have reported one or two of those buys, then a week or so ago, he said that he bought a whole coin... So, whatever, he did make some rebuy disclosures that might be somewhat weird but there should not be any real doubt about those modest measures.. and it is not like he is making any kind of killing on any of them, but just establishing that he has a bit of a stake in bitcoin that goes a bit above nocoiner status, even if his mindset continues to largely be demonstrated as a kind of disgruntled and bitter nocoiner..... which many of us have difficulties appreciating such disgruntled and bitter nocoiner perspectives, even though we know that they exist out there, but are not so frequently part of persons who we had previously given a decent amount of credibility and trust.
