Long time lurker about to post for the first time here.

There are three reasons for my registering on the forum after lurking for a whole year:

1 - Eventually I can put some people on ignore
2 - In the distant future I may have time to start some kind of bitcoin charity, so that those who became rich with bitcoin can give at least a little bit back to those left behind (e.g. most of the African countries)
3 - Now I can thank a few of you guys

I will start with -3- right now:

Mr. Pietilä, I would like to thank you. Some people don't get the importance of your threads for people like me. Right now, I am not very wealthy. If I had invested in BTC when I first heard about it in 2011, I would be. I invested from spring to summer 2013 and almost decided to get out of Bitcoin again, because I didn't understand it completely. Then I read a lot of your posts, I read a lot of what other people think about you (positive and negative) and then made up my mind about the opportunities coming along with Bitcoin. It was you and a few others on this forum who let me understand the power of bitcoin. Working in a German tax business and being capable of thinking myself, I don't follow mindlessly and I'm definitively not here for kissing someone's backside. I'm fully aware that no one on this forum is able to provide spot-on predictions all of the time. But I am still happy to have increased my amount of BTCs over the last few months (though still being stuck in the 2-digit range). I will keep on hodling and even if Bitcoin fails, I don't feel like a piglet, I don't feel like mislead sheeple. I feel like having participated in the right thing.

Nonetheless, I have to admit that fear has a certain impact on me right now, but it just doesn't make sense to sell all my bitcoins right now. I wonder what impact a crash to the 200s would have on the anticipated ATH in summer. Would that lower the top?
