is dead.
mindrust was right.
We should have sold everything at $4,000 like he did to save all this heartbreak.
Well, I learned a lesson: Totally panic-dumping Bitcoin may portend randomly
attacking someone who is aggrieved at the disappearance of a friend—attacking him for being aggrieved—when that someone who has never personally offended him, has always been friendly toward him. Now,
that was “pulling a mindrust!”
I suppose that it is a matter of character.
JJG was more right than he knew!Doubly sad that I didn’t buy mindrust’s coins. If I had, I would offer them back to him later at a moderate penalty for the panic. I almost want to give him some Bitcoin, a trivial amount, just to stop him from being a nocoiner. My problem is that in a few years, that “trivial amount” may look like jojo’s old $13/BTC sales. Yes, I hoard.
Gotta
be careful in helping out nocoiners too much because frequently they
got to being nocoiners for a reason.

Needs more rusty.

Mindrust is likely NOT in a very solid state of mind, currently.
BTC's current price may feel like it has been a bit extreme, but it is NOT really outside of fair probabilities and expectations, even though NONE of us really can know with any amount of certainty regarding the direction, the intensity or the quickness of such BTC price movements.
Surely, on a personal level, I am happy to be pretty heavily leaning in the HODLers camp, and anyone who has prepared for UPpity by accumulating a decent BTC stash is also going to be feeling some comforts with the recent price actions of lil orange (or yellow, some say) fiend.
In regards to Lauda, of course her decision to exit the forum could be a bit traumatic, especially for any members who considered her services to have been a benefit to the forum...... I have no real ideas about the back story, but I did read the OP of her departure message.. and surely communicating a finality in such persona's presence on the forum.. so merely still alive to the extent some of her posts and trust marking continue to have effect.
I had not quite expected such departure, but surely life happens, and we cannot count on matters or involved peeps staying the same with the passage of time. In that regard, change does inevitably happen and sometimes in less than expected ways.
