....... if I was a nocoiner and wanted to get in I'd be loving this dip.

Seems like nocoiners are uncomfortable with dips like this...

They should be able to look at the charts and figure out not to be scared.

In fact that is how it was for me in 2013 after the 266 highs.

I spent 2 full days researching Bitcoin during that rip higher and I came away convinced of its awesomeness. I opened a bitstamp account and waited for the bubble to pop. Which it did a few days later. Got my first coin under 100 and was not scared at all in buying it. There would be many out there in that situation right now, and they deserve their future gains.

Maybe we should clone you, somac? The non-scared version of a nocoiner.. kind of like what a nocoiner should aspire to be.

I am getting scared just thinking about it.

a bunch of somac's in the thread. Anybody else scared of that?

And in a decades time my immediate response when someone says I was lucky, will be to punch them in the face.

That's not nice. Hopefully, you will be able to become more comfortable with ur own lil selfie.

This shit ain't easy, but it does pay off.

yep... when whining almost the whole time, it does make the shit less easy. Or at least I would imagine that to be the case.

Cheesy

Anybody selling?

I was feeling confident 30k would hold, but had a stop-limit order which went through selling some BTC when we went below 30k. The reason for placing the order a couple of days ago was so I could get some sleep and USDT to BTFD if the 30k barrier was broken, feels like a dumb plan in hindsight, not sure yet. Probably a bad idea to admit in here, but it's the truth.

Yeah.. does not seem to be a good idea to admit it here... I remember one time in November 2015 I had been following my new system of selling on the way up and buying on the way down, and when the BTC price went shooting up from $250 to $500 in what seemed to had been a pretty short period of time, I cancelled a lot of my sell orders and then I used a pretty large amount of my extra fiat stash that I had been building up for several months to buy at about $500, which was the top of that cycle, and when the BTC price dipped back down to $300, I was wondering why the hell I did not have any money to buy more BTC... and it took about 6 months for the BTC price to get back above $500 - and I probably did not admit that I did that for quite a lot longer than after the BTC price went back above $500.. perhaps a year later.. what dummies we can be some times.

Furthermore. we can be a bunch of meanies too, and use everything you say (especially the less than favorable stuff) against you, when the opportunity comes (for a teachable moment.. or a I told you so.. )..

By the way: if a hodler sells on the way up, it should NOT be that BIG of a deal if that hodler does not buy back, so long as the hodler was o.k. with the amount sold.. hopefully not the whole stash.. for sure.. but just a fraction of the stash..

But if a wannabe hodler sells on the way down (which is what your stop loss did).. then the HODLer wannabe could end up being kind of fucked into a scenario that the BTC price has got to go down below the part that it already had gone down when HODLer had SODLed rather than HODLed.. ..

Sure of course, you see that now, and of course, the bottom is NOT necessarily "in" even though it could actually be "in".. really still seems a wee bit difficult to know, and not really seeming as solid as the mindrust situation.. even though when we are going through the dippenings, they all kind of feel as if they are going to dip forever, but at some point they stop dippening.. and hopefully the amount SODLed was not too much.. yet I know that sometimes when I make a mistake.. the mistake can kind of grate upon me for a decent amount of time..and then usually I will figure out some kind of ways to structure my BTC orders to make up for that mistake.. or to attempt to move on from the mistake.. maybe not completely make up for it, but partially make up for it.. and maybe try to learn some kind of lesson from the mistake, too.. if possible..
