“To a Mouse”

Quote from: “To a Mouse”, by Robert Burns (1785)

But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' mice an’ men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain
For promis’d joy.

I mindrusted some scraps of precious altcoins

In other words, it is definitionally impossible to mindrust a shitcoin..

If you want to mindrust, you better try harder..

Thanks. It’s good to laugh. Cheesy

The good news: For the first time in over five months, I am debt-free! And the sad remainder of my BTC is freed from the margin account. For the first time in over five months, I am at zero risk of liquidation.

Well I will congratulate you about that, so you can get your butt in gear and start (or resume) stacking sats.

Best for me would be to spend less time on the forum, unless it is for moneymaking purposes.

If I had devoted every moment and ounce of effort that I have ever spent on this forum to making money, I would now be a whale. That was a foolish investment choice for allocation of my most precious resource: My limited lifetime.

Now, I can go back to my old self. Cheesy

I am not sure if "we" would want that, unless you are able to guarantee that it will objectively better than the most recent one that we have been witnessing..

I did fine, until I did something that I had previously warned others not to do.

Yes, I have very little BTC left. But it is a large proportion of my dollhouse-sized remaining finances. For he who has little, a pauper’s scraps are precious as a king’s fortune.

Rome was not built in a day, and presumptively, there were set backs from time to time.

Good thinking.

Let the market burn, as I frolic in the sunshine!

I think that we have already established that no coiners and low coiners have tendencies to be assholes in that kind of a way..

In March of 2020, I had much more BTC than I have now. I had the same attitude. (Insert list of previous crashes.)

But I am ideologically motivated to be in Bitcoin. It is my primary, dominant motive—even if it conflicts with my financial interests. That gives me a perspective different than most.

Quote from: JayJuanGee on Today at 06:18:55 AM

Therefore one of the likely strongest solutions from contributing towards mitigating your asshole tendencies is for you to get a meaningful and substantial stake in our lil precious..

I am not subject to your judgment or anyone else’s of whether or not I have sufficient BTC. “...a meaningful and substantial stake...” What is this, POS?

The “no skin in the game” argument applies to those who have significant wealth in fiat, stocks, etc. Yes, someone who has a big portfolio but only 0.05 BTC can pretty much just fork off!

But you would call me “overinvested” in BTC. Before you pretend to pass judgment on me or analyze my “tendencies”, please dump your stocks (I don’t have any), cut your central bank shitcoin holdings to the bare minimum needed for short-term living expenses (I live simply, and I have almost no money in the bank—though when I am in wealth-building mode, I like to gather up some Tethers, etc. when that’s advantageous for cashing out to BTC at opportune moments), and figure your personal net worth in BTC as a unit of account.

Even with less than 0.05 BTC, I am drastically “overinvested” in BTC as % of all the money and investment assets that I have.

I do have an incentive now to hope for BTC to stay low for awhile, so that I can obtain more of it—preferably, at least as much as I recently had. That is no different in principle than WOers who are hoping for BTC to stay low until their next paychecks (or whatever), so they can DCA down. It is quite different from nocoiners/ex-coiners who hope for BTC to fail. And I have always enjoyed bear markets, even when I had much more BTC than now. Divide the wheat from the chaff, give LTH the opportunity to accumulate more while there is blood in the streets. My personal “greed and fear” index is wired to the opposite of most people’s.

so get out there dear trooper/soldier and get in the mode of stacking some sats.. stack a meaningful and substantial amount.. nothing whimpy like some other members... who will remain unnamed.. at least for the time being.

That, in itself, is a damn fine idea. For reasons quite other than “asshole tendencies”.

I have a sort of life focus on Bitcoin. I want to have me some more of those bitcoins, instead of just watching others have more of them while I pray for Bitcoin to overthrow the corruption of the banking system. Monetary ideology is unusual this way: It is a type of idealism that is directly undermined by having too little greed.

In most ideologies, one can be quite credible (perhaps even more credible) being poor as a monk. Not in Bitcoin. For better or for worse.

Quote from: death_wish on Today at 12:53:47 AM

I am gravely worried about Bitcoin, because I care about Bitcoin.

You will care more if you get some stake... or at least increase your stake.

No. It would apply for most people; you don’t know me. Nonetheless, I absolutely should stack up some bitcoins. For my own self-interest, not to meet your criteria or anyone else’s for “stake”. Again, what is this POS type of talk?

A very large proportion of my investment/savings assets are in Bitcoin (and I am now awaiting favourable market conditions to liquidate some other things to Bitcoin—it would be shooting myself in the foot right now). That puts my money where my mouth is. I simply don’t have much money.

I damn should make myself some bitcoins, for my own sake and no one else’s. Preferably, I should like to be rich—especially after all this!

This is an attack. But that is an idealistic worry—cause for worse pessimism over the state of the world—

Don't fret or worry ur lil head about those kinds of matters.

Stay focused.

You might even need some lazer eyes... unless you had merely misplaced them from earlier. Homer can help.. perhaps.. but only those who want to be helped.

hahahahaha

If I didn’t think of these kinds of matters, I would not have any BTC at all! “Those kinds of matters” were the motive that first brought me to Bitcoin, and these matters will always keep me holding BTC no matter what. I did NOT buy in to see “number go up”. I learned about that after I already had BTC. Once upon a time, I somehow managed to spent years on this forum blissfully avoiding Speculation, before I even learned that the Wall Observer existed (sorry, you are not as famous as you think). I still have the same essential attitude, and I always will.

I don’t need laser eyes graphics or other memes, for my own personal use.

You might need a mentor because if left to your own devices, you seem to have a predisposition to devolve away from reasonableness and prudence...

Any volunteers?

Anyone want to mentor one stubborn fuck, aka D_W? And some other names too, but "we" just refer to him as internet dog/cat.

Thanks, but I was doing just fine until I did something that I had previously warned others against. Although I do highly respect the intelligence and the market instincts of some of the die-hard regulars here, I do not need a WO mentor.

I will do much better now, if/when I fork off and ignore WO so I can get some work done. The market has been a perpetual distraction to me, since I have been forced to pay attention to my liquidation risk. Now that I can ignore the distraction of short-term BTC price movements, I have good prospects to make money.
