Can someone point me to the HoDLers' Marine Scale? Just to see where I stand. Thx.

I started as a small octopus in 2017, grew to medium by 2020, and shrank again to small in 2021.

Then imho you did oversold……

If from little to big octopus…. Then back to little….

Not bad or anything, I just would have sold a smaller %

Even though for sure, I tend to agree with your overall conclusion, dude, that ivomm likely had oversold.. but there could be some manners in which he is classifying his bitcoin holdings that cause him to conclude that some of his increases in BTC holdings that are through debt should be counted as his own even though they were part of a debt that had to be repaid within a certain timeline, in the event that the debt could not be rolled over in sufficiently favorable and acceptable terms.

Accordingly, these are not easy questions in regards to wealth management, and trying to continue to build your status or your number of coins. Even if you use debt, you may want to be attempting to continue to build the number of your coins.. but I can appreciate that the number of coins might well go down with the appreciation of BTC prices, so for example when we went from more or less of a base in the $10k arena, then surely there would be a certain amount of justification to shave off some profits on the way up.. but then hopefully to reaccumulate in the event that the overall quantity of wealth is not coming close to fuck you status or having a timeline target for fuck you status that would be acceptable within personal time target terms.

Sometimes though, the timeline seems to be too rushed.

Another thing that I could appreciate is that if a guy has been in BTC for a while and has established a somewhat reasonable entry-level fuck you status goal, but then there is so much difficulties dealing with having too many eggs that are ONLY in the BTC basket, so the non-BTC wealth is very low.. so there remains some need to get some diversification out of BTC .. and it is likely not ONLY a psychological thing, but a practical financial consideration to have too much wealth that is ONLY in BTC - even after some price run ups that go 5x or more. So, even if the guy is considering that it could take another 4 years to get to entry-level fuck you status, he is way too uncomfortable having so much of his whole wealth portfolio value that is ONLY in BTC.

The idea of going from small octupus to big octupus and then back to little does seem to be taking the matter way too far in terms of playing around (gambling) with a portfolio, unless there is some plausible explanation for it..... and for sure, just getting stuck in the middle of octupus status would seem like a good place to be in the coming years.. 2-3 years seems to be very likely to be into entry-level fuck you status... and just to maintain something like that as a kind of targeted minimum would seem to be a sufficient status.. if having had been at higher level octupus status at some earlier date.

Are we second guessing other guys too much? That's what we (maybe royal?) do here. hahahahaha
