I agree, mindrust's goal was always to increase his fiat stash and that is the trap he fell into.
[...]
He forgot 1 BTC = 1 BTC and for that he will always be a cautioning tale.
My motive
was greed: Greed for BTC, not for fiat! How many times need I say that I calculate PnL in BTC? (Do the TA-junkie wannabe pro traders in WO know what PnL is?

)
One of my favourite price sites, which I have linked several times, is this:
https://usdsat.com/The inviolate rule of my life is that 1 BTC = 1 BTC. I have kept that rule
sacred. My problem is that I shorted the dollar; and in the liquidator bot’s opinion, dollars have recently increased in value against BTC.
I have never bought BTC with the intention of “aiming at some high amount of $ per BTC”. Never!When I first came to Bitcoin, it was for pure idealism. I didn’t even want to have money that increased in value—just as long as it didn’t
decrease in value like inflationary fiat scrip. I idealize
price-stable money: My ideal money lets you work for an amount that would buy one loaf of bread today, put the money in your wallet, and then spend it for one loaf of bread next year—or in ten years. Want more? Work more.
I did
not come to Bitcoin to get rich. If I had been thinking that way, I would now be rich: I could have bought a whale-sized chunk for a song, (undisclosed) years ago!
