My opinion is, that if you have a plan, developed and adjusted over the course of years, and just throw it overboard in times of doubt, what the heck was it all about?

Well, yeah.

You and I seem to be largely on the same page there, and yeah, the plan involves preparing for a lot of extreme scenarios, which the March 12th situation should have been reasonably encompassed in one of the possible scenarios... even though it was a bit of an extreme one.. but it was also pretty damned short-lived, too.≥.. in the whole scheme of things with a variety of macro explanations that would not have justified panicking so quickly in such circumstances.. and then also taking weird subsequent stances of largely refusing to mitigate some of the losses, after the mistake was realized.

It smells fishy, or at least seems unauthentic to me.

You may be correct, there... Parts of it still do not really seem to add up very well. I am not going to fight you in regards to your thinking in that direction.

I would ask for advice if i'm even thinking about dropping out, at least for some kind of feedback, if i was a noob and thus insecure.

Mindrust was not exactly a noob, and he largely did not seem afraid to ask questions and to provide feedback, which surely were some of his redeeming qualities, and I am not sure if he really lost those qualities, even though we are likely putting him on the defensive quite a bit.. which he deserves a lot of it, seems to me.

But mindrust didn't ever show insecurities since i read the WO, imho. There were no signs of weakness, afair. Even in earlier times of dipping.

You are probably either misremembering, or maybe you had not noticed, but surely mindrust had several episodes of emotionalness, being overly pessimistic, predicting doom and gloom and behaviors like that, but surely selling his whole BTC stash did seem to be a bit too extreme in terms of being a bit further out of character than those previous bouts of negative nancy...

In any event, panicking and selling some BTC stash at the wrong time is not wholly inconsistent with some of mindrust's previous illogical and seemingly extreme approaches that sometimes had seemed short -lived and they ended up largely resolving themselves with the BTC price going up.

This all doesn't represent honesty.

You might be right about the conclusion, but there were previous signs of emotional weakness, and undue bearishness out of mindrust... just saying.

I don't even speculate about (secret or hidden) reasons that haven't become obvious, known or told (yet). WO hodler legendaries and hero members are seen as trustworthy, in general, according to my reading and chatting experience.

Yeah, but there have been a lot of high ranking and even high trusted forum members who end up exit scamming, so there is always a need for some vigilance and skepticisms, even with high ranking and long track record members

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.

And that adds to my reasoning for suspicion. Just a lil fishy, you know?

Fair enough.

Later he also wrote he was in doubt from the start. Some even were speculating if mindrust sold his account, may it have been pure irony or not, but his u-turn was a good reason for such speculations, i think.

Sure, those are fair skepticisms, too.

I just realize my post reads like a private message a little, but even if i should be wrong, i have got no reasons to hide my thoughts. Everybody can try to prove me wrong or point out errors that i made, convince me... I'll try to be open #nohomo.
I am losing track a little through my writings, but hopefully make my points clear enough, most time Grin

Sure. You are clear enough, yet even though I consider mindrust's actions to have been severe, I conclude that the transformation was not likely as great as you had made it out to be. That's just my take on it, currently.
