But why so emotional? Why do you get mad when someone disagrees with you?

You say you made a great move for selling at 0.005 BTC and I say so far it seems that way... but in the life of DASH, relatively speaking, you did sell at the bottom. And I would guess, that the odds are, that DASH will revisit 0.01 BTC this year and likely even much higher. Do I know for sure? No, but don't get mad at me. Perhaps what you bought with the DASH you sold will perform better or just as well anyway.

But it's the high emotions and the supposed 'reasons' people have that make many cryptos so profitable. If you can keep your emotions in check and buy when people are so negative and sell when people are so positive, you'll do much better than most.

I have to mark here you do not have sense of reality. Afbit, Tok, me and so many, many others are people that DASH needs ( well, not in yor universe ). And you don't get it, we are not that emotional. Rather we are clear minded, now even not wondering anymore why you don't get it.
Or let's make it this way: you are doing yourself favor ( maybe ) , and doing us NOTfavor.

If you wanted to understand - you can find our posts here dating long long ago and supporting until lately, since we see a PROBLEM. You do not see a PROBLEM. You say everything is GOOD, Marketcap and other parameters are UNIMPORTANT, one day DASH will... etc... for us that makes it clear you lost sense of reality.

To Paint it ( Tok's style ) : this all looks like Titanic floating and we are few left on it and yelling " ICEBERG!" ... ( and many others jumped off already )

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad to have emotions. But emotions will more often than not lead you to bad financial decisions.

Unless you, afbit and tok are the 3 Wise Men, your shared opinion is just that, an opinion.

The reason I find the 3 of your responses here so emotional is that I could probably chart your negative (and positive or no) posts to the price of DASH. When DASH was $120+ it was eerily quiet in here... when DASH dipped below $110, panic troll posts started to appear and within the hour of DASH falling below $100, toknormal revisited after a 2 week hiatus. Then you guys quickly piled on with the same negative rant.

You supported DASH with positive posts so faithfully years ago when the price looked better by the day and now that you deem it to be in freefall you only post negative things about DASH. That seems emotional to me. Price is dictating your mood. Of course you say you have reasons. But that's been discussed ad nauseum now. Nothing substantially has changed with DASH's economic model since masternodes were introduced. So either the problem has always existed and no one was smart enough last bull run or you are exaggerating the significance of the reward change. Generally speaking I don't think people are smart enough when it comes to money. They let their emotions drive their decisions (hidden behind "reasons"). Selling low and buying high is an emotional outcome.

Is DASH's economic model perfect? Nope, never said that. Can it be improved? Perhaps, but not by berating people that disagree with you.

I seem emotional? Well I admit annoyance when qwizzie starts posting shit about me! Trying to create an impression of me to discredit. That is why I describe him as low.

However that is nothing to do with making emotional trading decisions as you seem to imply. I've been round the block a few times, ridden a few speculative bubbles. I don't regard my desicion to sell as emotional in the slightest. I'll give you a heads up, not all coins maintain their peaks, some keep heading down the ranking. Will Dash be one of those? Perhaps. IMO it is a risky investment, might work out, but is risky.

My decision to sell dash was based on two main factors.
1) the reward allocation and in particular Ryan's proposal that was accepted by the network to give more of the dash supply for masternodes and less for miners making bad economics worse. The vote looks bad and is bad..

Did you sell at those times? If you sold at 0.005 BTC it seems that you did not. But I do agree that the masternodes voting themselves a higher reward is a bad look and not worth it especially when it amounts to 0.04 DASH or something so negligible.

2) an important support line was breached. The technical analysis looked aweful and to me only reinforced my suspicions about point 1). I would have preferred dash to bounce from that support, bounce hard and give me a chance to get out higher but it is what it is.

Now that one makes more sense in when you actually did sell. XMR sits on it's important support and looks likely that it won't fall below it. However, I invite you to look more closely at the LTC/BTC chart and see how LTC breached a very important support in it's first bear market vs BTC. Many thought it was to be left for dead too. Then within a week or so, LTC went up 7x and was only down 50% from its ATH vs USD. Funnily enough if DASH does something similar in its first bear market against BTC, it will also be at about 50% of its ATH vs USD.

Note that the alt season has not started yet. Only minor rumblings... last time BTC went about 15% above its previous ATH before diving 30%. On the recovery alt season started. This time BTC went over 100% over its previous ATH to about $41K and it just recently touched about $28K (30% down). Seems some alts are recovering faster than BTC now. Are we only weeks from altseason?

You think dash will hit 0.01btc this year??

I'm not sure why you pick 0.01 which seems a bit arbitrary. That would mean dash breaking out of its multi year bear channel.

Yeah, I think that's inevitable. If DASH had fallen off page 1 of CMC or even out of the top 50 you would have a stronger case. But the fact that it's still in the 30's despite CMC now double counting BTC (by including WBTC) and there being about 5 stablecoins ahead of DASH means that DASH is still a top altcoin. It's not like it fell to $6 like someone else predicted.

Hahah , EVERY assumption you made ( regarding me ) is - WRONG. That makes me thinking... must be right the rest...
