Man, the price chart in the last 10 months looks pretty depressing. Even more than in 2018. And for us the EU citizens it is worsened by the strong $. It adds another 25% to the price depreciation compared to 2021. I really envy those that can buy now, because they will be rewarded soon. I've had some unexpected spendings recently and my DCAing is on hold. Hopefully next month I will be able to resume the buying. Provided I recover well from the nasty surgery and my father recovers from the severe hypertension that has been plaguing him lately. He is still recovering from a hip replacement last year. To add to the bad things, my institution is not paying me well and I'm in the process of getting additional job 400 km from here, with the intention to move to that place eventually. Hopefully all will go well and meanwhile I will be able to resume DCAing. I am not complaining. Although not a millionaire, I have enough money to live withough going to work, unless BTC falls below 10K and I sell, which won't happen of course. I eat only restaurant food and enjoy the newest gadgets like the new Asus Zenbook Flip 15 I've bought the other day. And relaxing with my Gretsch ACDC set up. So fuck the misfortunes, I'm good thanks to BTC! Grin

For sure times like these can be quite difficult for anyone who runs into cashflow issues, or maybe already had cashflow issues on an ongoing basis and might not have sold enough BTC (or any other asset) in order to attempt to help with cashflow issues that more likely come up when bitcoin prices are down (but also almost every other asset might feel like it is down too.. but relatively speaking, there still might need to be a choice about whether any of the other assets might be sufficiently liquid enough or if they can be sold in total or in part in order to help to address cashflow issues.. so in the end even if no buying is going on, then maybe at least no selling is happening.. and so for some we are at the point before sell.. which is called HODL... HODL could be a very broad area and covering a large range of relative comfort and even bordering upon desperation if it has not reached a stage of SODL, yet.

Many of us can likely feel it.. even though we can may well end up being reminded that some people can feel it way more than others, and maybe when any of us finds out about persons who seem to have even worse situations than ourselves, then we can start to feel that "at least my situation is not that bad, yet".... yet .. yet...

I am not trying to be flippant about your cashflow difficulties, ivomm.. yet your comments do cause me to consider what factors causes a guy/gal to choose DCA over buying on dips... and surely they can both be used or one can be used exclusively from the other, and sure there is variation, and like you say, sometimes it might no longer be prudent to employ DCA.. but there might be a little fiat on hand for buying on dip.. but sometimes even that buying on dip fiat is more or less dried up too.. so I doubt there is going to be any exact formula an surely there is some discretion regarding how to play whatever cash might be available...or might be coming in - at or above expenses... so extra cashflow that might come in..ways to cut expenses (if any - if they have all been cut)... and even if a certain amount of extra cash does come it, is that extra cash going to be allocated towards BTC or should the emergency fund (kept in dollars) be replenished first? Some discretionary questions, but if we are in a certain kind of "tight" position, some choices are going to be more logical than others in terms of hopefully minimizing the amount of gambling that any of us might be employing into the allocations (or BTC accumulation strategies) that we choose.

They again delayed. I think they will never repay anything.

Poppe also saying: They will not release.

I was always a bit confused where people got a payout date to begin with. As a creditor, you’d think I’d have gotten some sort of communication to expect a payout. We haven’t even been able to choose if we want the early payout or not yet. I think this saga will drag on a long time, with an effect on the market for at least a month or two.

If the GOX trustees have clarified who is going to get paid and how they are supposed to get paid, then fucking start paying out.. who cares about what the market might do?.. or the recipients might dump.. who fucking cares? Starts to seem like a scam that they won't pay out the coins and just coming up with baloney reasons to delay and delay.. at least previously the reasons seemed somewhat legitimate to sort out who has claims and whether they were entitled to their claims (which has taken about 8.5 years so far).

I do understand that there are one or two third-parties who bought out a stupendous amounts of coins - the claims of a great number of GOX creditors for pennies on the dollars.. so sure, maybe Gox trustees might ration out the dispensation of those coins.. but still people have a right to their coins, including the persons/companies who bought out the claims of other Gox Creditors.. and if any of those rightful owners want to dump their BTC or whatever the fuck they are going to do with their coins once they get them, then just let it be whatever it is going to be rather than trying to strategize based on seemingly baseless reasons and delaying getting the coins to their proper owners (and seemingly without even any kind of legitimate reason.. at least the fact that they might dump and the market is down surely does not seem to be an adequate and/or sufficient reason NOT to give the coins to their rightful owners.). ..

Get a move on it GOX trustees.. you dweeb twats.. Despense those coinz. the lil precious that are not yours... !!!!!! Angry

and that's how I really feel... ... Shocked
