I’m having a bit of a mental struggle..

How much should I be kicking myself in the ass for not accumulating more, VS how thankful am I for having accumulated what I have and for the most part held..

Thankful or regretful?

We've all been there (at least I have) Just count your blessings that even just by holding any BTC you're WAYYYY ahead of most people. I have a, modest, stash. I'd love more, but I'm definitely glad I have what I do

And, of course, also, if you feel that you do not have enough, you can continue to DCA.. even if it is only $10 per week... though for fee purposes, it may be better to let your amount build up to something like $80 or $100 and then buy once you reach certain thresholds of value.

We have all kinds of peeps who fail to pee pare their lil selfies adequately for UP.. and that is part of the rationale of ongoing DCA tactics.. but yeah, if you don't believe in BTC until it has actually gone up 5x or whatever, then you are less likely to be inspired to buy along the way.. because you don't fucking believe until you see the profits that you could have had, and that is a mental problem and a lack of actual preparing yourself rather than any other excuses... and maybe nothing is really going to cause you to "believe" absent another 20 years of bitcoin being in existence and perhaps seeing some profits within its price?

Naw man..
I haven’t been holding coin for like 7 years because I don’t believe.. (sarcasm)

Who fucking cares, eddie13? which largely means that I am standing by my earlier comments, but sure the way that you respond causes me to make a further explanation.., so no problema.

The fact that you are whining about not having enough bitcoin blah blah blah.. largely means that you either did not invest enough or that you sold too many too early, and since you are proclaiming that you did not sell any, then we have to go with the former.. which is that you did not buy enough.

We can ONLY go by your representations in this regard, because I don't know your details beyond remembering some of your earlier posts which you had seemed overly negative about bitcoin.. and you suggested that I was misunderstanding the way that you expressed ur lil selfie.. blah blah blah..

You have proclaimed that you are a pretty young guy, so it could be quite possible that you are being too hard on ur lil selfie, and you really were not capable of reasonably and prudently invest more into bitcoin, and if that is the case, then you should merely be accepting that you had done what you needed to do.. and you ONLY have so much of a cashflow in order to invest, anyhow.

So, I cannot be sure, but I do believe that some guys (and gal perhaps) are too hard on themselves because when looking back retrospectively, they conclude that they should have gambled more on bitcoin blah blah blah ... and maybe sometimes there may have been a need to be more aggressive with the bitcoin investment but devolving into gambling and leveraging does not seem to be the solution, even if retrospectively you can see that such a strategy could have play out quite well.

It’s not even all about the profits man.. I haven’t been selling at all, unlike many here..

Are you referring to me or to other people, like bawb or Jimbo or someone else?

Let's just stick to me, for now, because surely, I am not necessarily going to be able to defend bawb or Jimbo- even though quite a few factors in their cases are similar to my factors, including the fact that we are way the fuck overinvested in bitcoin in terms of the value of bitcoin and things that we are considering purchasing.. so the fact that you are underinvested and you are regretting that does not make a very good comparison.

And, additionally regarding my case more specifically is that I have a formula for selling BTC on the way up that is a mere fraction of the profits that are generated that started from about $250, so my system is completely sustainable on its own, including that the fraction of profits that are sold means that the vast majority of profits continue to compound upon themselves causing way the fuck more value than I ever expected or needed and one of my BIGGEST problems seems to be figuring out how to spend some of my profits, which does not seem to be a problem of Bawb, Jimbo or some others, and in my case, I have not even sold any extra BTC outside of my already pre-established system.. which surely would be justifiable, if I were to go down that path (or consider going down that path).

That’s about the biggest problem with this forum, and with this WO thread..
Most everyone is just all about the profits..

Yeah.. your fucked up and perverted generalizing view is that you don't even understand that there is a considerable amount of variance among members, even if some of us might have some sticks that we propagate.,. My particular angle has frequently been to attempt to get guys to analyze their own situations and to tailorize their BTC approach to their own situation.. with of course an emphasis on long term investing in btc and a starting investment point of 1-10%... so I am not sure what your issue is in regards to some discussion of profits within there? Are you just bitter because your profits are not very good, even though it should have been difficult to NOT have some decent levels of profits if mostly sticking to bitcoin accumulation and HODLing in the past 7 years or so.

Y’all forgot all about the mission..

You mean bitcoin is going to save the world?

Why don't you focus ur lil selfie, eddie13?

People, including members here, can hold and even act upon a variety of ideas at the same time... so stop with your whining and accusing other members of losing their focus.. blah blah blah.. when likely need to look at ur own lil selfie in the mirror and figure out ways that you might want to or need to improve ur lil selfie based on where we are at today, rather than wishing what you would have done previously or suggesting that other guys are fucking up, which is just delusional and distracting failure to take responsibility bullshit.
