I think you are holding the charts too close to your face.

Hmm yes, very good.

I shall politely remind you that you not even once have you called the square root of fuck all remotely correctly since I started tuning in here but I congratulate you on your immunity to your Bitcoin's USD worth. I wish I could be so free of Bitcoin stress like you, except that I don't as being a latecomer I would be in the fkn poorhouse if I were to adopt such a fkn numbskulled attitude towards my finances.

Holliday. Zero market acumen, but good for a smart arse comment or two.

I bid you good day.

I have made every attempt to avoid calling the square root of fuck all. So yes, I can agree that I have not made a correct call since you started tuning in here.

Zero market acumen is exactly correct. I don't play this market. I don't play any market. Most day traders lose money. Why would I play a game when there is a good chance I will lose? Not to mention the traders who made all the right calls and lost every single satoshi of profit when their exchange "disappeared". I'll admit that I am often tempted (although not during consolidation periods like we have now).

You aren't a latecomer, don't lie. According to many of your posts you knew about Bitcoin as early as, possibly earlier than, I did.

I am in the poorhouse, and you know nothing of my finances. I don't live life like most people. My main concern is expanding my freedom and avoiding those things which could reduce it. Freedom is more important to me than money, but I'm not ignorant to the fact that in today's world money can open a lot of doors.

I use Bitcoin as a tool to increase my freedom. I am not immune to the value fluctuations, but I've accepted them long ago. I'm betting on one thing, that there will continue to be people in the world who value Bitcoin as a useful tool until something better comes along (assuming Bitcoin can't simply adopt the improvements should that occur).

You just said everything I want to say, but fear it would be wasted Wink

prove us wrong MTC show us a little insight! hehe.

I think Holliday might have touched something. You have mentioned being in early on several occasions. Maybe this is just bitter regret? - I'm not saying it is but can you be absolutely sure it isn't?

I'm sure you probably see all my posts as taking shots at you, I guess there is an element of truth in that, but only insomuch as I might tease anyone (and expect to be teased in return) as a means of getting them to reflect. (As indeed I would need to reflect if I am pulled up on things). Everyone is here for the same shared common interest, the points of view might differ, but we are all kind of in it together. So for that reason I think we should all learn together. I'm not trying to say I have the answers and you should listen to me or whatever, what I guess I'm doing is asking you questions about yourself so I can understand *myself* better by understanding those around me.

I don't assume to have you sussed, in fact you might just be trolling, in which case fair play you got me! IF you aren't though I'm fascinated by your motives.
