Summoning that hybrid Bitcoin friendly AI, Im feeling bored and itching for some action.

Come on Jay, you go girl, you can do it!

hahahaha

Funny how you are able to frame a restart in such a Cryptotourist dominant way - especially when you went out with a kind of cat's-got-ur-tongue whimper in our last battlito.

Maybe you do need a head-start though?

Like a kind of 3 to 1 handicap.

Cheesy

Poor widdo ting-a-lie... Tongue

buddy you be boring me.

just got me a 4x dca for 16.4k

it got down to 16.27k on coinbase I missed that

I highly respect you for your dca... especially since you could have bought under 100$ back in the days..

but I would never hold that against you, since everybody has its own BTC history, and it was much much more questionable back then if Bitcoin would ever "make" it

Why you going so easy on Philipma?

His excuses are not really very good in regards to why he had been so whimpy in regards to BTC for so many years... even though does seem to be genuinely trying to improve on some of his ways.. but he is still repeating some of his same errors.. .. and sure he does have some good things that he does too... but some of it is quite strange, seeming acts of desperation, gambling and gullibility.

I am not against trying to help Philip.. but geez.. sometimes some of his practices do not seem to be very sound... such as pumping IBonds.. and even having had sold a decent amount of BTC on the way down, around $19k or $20k and expecting to buy back lower.. which yeah seems to be working out so far.. but that's pretty risky and not really a good and generally applicable way to manage BTC stacking. even though yeah, maybe it works for him in some kind of way that seems to show that he must have been overinvested to be employing such non-prudent and gambling practices..

It kind of reminds me of Bitcoin Tina.. .. Hey, maybe Philip and Bitcoin Tina are the same peep? hahahahahaha

Bitcoin Tina seems to have been even more bold than Philip though and a really BIG gambler in the bullish on bitcoin kind of a way.. so yeah, there are some differences between bitcoin Tina and Philip.. .. even though they both sold a decent amount of BTC at around $20k.. and I am not sure if BTC Tina bought back in yet..

So, yeah each of us have our own paths and we make various mistakes along the way, and sometimes we will not perceive our approach as a mistake - especially if it ended up paying off.. .. I could list some of my mistakes too... but many times, they are not for me to list.. and for example people consider that I keep too many BTC on exchanges.. and at one point i had something like 50% of my stash on exchanges and with 3rd parties.. and maybe that was up to about early 2017.. and then I got down to around 15% on exchanges in late 2017.. and recently, I went down from about 12% to maybe around 8%... and maybe I could take a bit more off exchanges 1-2%, perhaps..

I have some mistakes with some of my past business relationships, too.. .. and some of those can become too complicated to describe and somewhat devolving off topic, even though sometimes I will bring up some of my past mistakes - and sometimes try to figure out if some of my current strategies might be considered as mistakes.... . and we can argue about the characterization of some of those "arguable mistakes" too... but I am not going to necessarily overly disclose any gratuitous self-incriminating practices of my own ways of going forward and currently managing my BTC stash, for example... oh some of the mistakes could be security.. like we sometimes might criticize one member or another for their security or the kind of hardware they use.. but sometimes we do not necessarily want to volunteer that information unless it might come up in some other context... like I had put more BTC on BlueWallet's lightning than I had intended.. but then I reduced that down. but still I probably have too much BTC on my BlueWallet lighting wallet... and other members have described security measures that they had taken that had nearly caused them to lock themselves out of their coins, and surely many of us probably are not very solid in the ways that we intend to pass down our keys to our heirs.. and yeah, I would prefer not to completely lose those coins, but sometimes, it is not easy to keep up with the various places that coins are held and then if that information might be available if suddenly I were to get hit by an asteroid.
