You are not Michael Saylor are you?

Of course not. I have my own story, and largely you can see my story at various points in my posting history on the forum.

For sure, Saylor has his own and interesting story, and even though he is a relatively newbie to bitcoin, he picked up on bitcoin quite quickly, and even started to engage in a lot of efforts to publicly talk about what he and his company were doing in regards to bitcoin. Some aspects of his strategies are similar to my own, but surely some of them are a bit more aggressive than what mine have been historically, and I have been somewhat critical of some of his strategies, while at the same time attempting to recognize and appreciate that each of us tailor our strategies to our own situations - including that some people choose not to really get involved in bitcoin in spite of knowing about it, and surely a lot of people seem to believe that they know way more about bitcoin than they actually do.

My investments are not really your business.

Of course, we are posting in a public thread, so you can choose how much you disclose - and what kinds of topics that you bring up (or with what kinds of information you provide).

You seem butt hurt a lot. Not sure why.

Maybe I "seem butt hurt" because you are imagining such a thing?

Maybe you are "not sure why" because you are imagining such a thing?

I sold my Gox claim for btc and sold that btc at 60k. Not bought back in yet.

Why are you telling me about your "investments" if they are "none of my business?"

Did you want to tell me more, or just tell me about the parts that you feel worked out well for you, so far?

You seem to consider this as a kind of competition, and I would suggest that each of us should be attempting to tailor our approach to our own circumstances, and there is not necessarily an objectively better way of managing one's investment portfolio - but there are likely some practices that are better than others in terms of attempting to balance how to attempt to reach financial and psychological objectives...

Some folks are going to be more practiced in terms of weighing their various personal factors, and I will just repeat for the sake of clarity that each of us whether an individual, institution or even a government that gets involved into investing into bitcoin should at least attempt to account for: cashflow, other investments, view of bitcoin as compared with other investments, timeline, risk tolerance, time, skills and abilities to strategize, plan, research and learn along the way including tweaking strategies from time to time to consider trading, reallocating, use of leverage and/or financial instruments.

....many people do not believe in the magic of bitcoin and even those who used to hate or distrust it are more devastated and regret it more.

You are correct bitzizzix that a certain level of bitterness seems to develop from people who did not invest in bitcoin, under invested in bitcoin and/or sold too many too early.

It is not an easy thing to overcome because so many folks in those kinds of categories have psychological difficulties to buy at prices that are higher than earlier and/or higher than prices that they had sold.

One of the best remedies towards getting over those psychological difficulties is some form of DCA strategy and long term approach... because lump sum investing is too scary for them and seems to lure them into a gambling mentality... and also a mentality that focuses too much on short term profits/losses - that inhibit the better options of just continuing to accumulate on an ongoing basis.. DCA is best and buying on dips is the second best, but they first have to get over their psychological hurdle and just get the fuck started to even be able to overcome their seemingly reasonable difficulties of getting back in (or just getting in and getting in sufficiently aggressively with perhaps a whimpy start.. but a whimpy start is likely better than failing/refusing to act).
