Speculating on current price is actually for people who do daily trades and if they are planning to hodl then I guess much better they should avoid participating on any discussion like this since their decision making might be affected and they could done bad decision that can stop their plans and make them a loser in short span.
Thier is nothing wrong if someone that's trading participate in this discussion. Isn't it possible that someone that was into trading and had been experiencing loses in the process might come through this conversation and have a rethink which will most likely make him shift to HOLDing his Bitcoin rather than doing a short term trading?
The forum has rules around courtesy and attempting to stay on topic in the thread.
There are other threads that discuss trading.
Many times other topics can be related in a thread, but there should still be attempts to stay on topic, even if sometimes there might be other topics that come up that might relate to the main thread topic.
You are actually correct about that. No matter how the distractionmay come from many participants, there is need to keep a particular thread on track because people always have there ways of deviating from initial plan, which the main purpose of the thread is mainly emphasising on how to HODl which is not only the only mistake people do, they usually go to other place and make that same mistake. I can relate to a particular thread which is like a rule and it say that it is not advisable to deviate from the initial discussion of any thread and making it turn to another thing but trust humans they will surely do it there own way. The best way to control such situation is by making it clear to anybody who is trying to deviate from the discussion. And if the person choose not to continue the thread he should look for the thread that will suit his sole purpose of curiosity. There is no how your car can break down and you take it to fuel station why you need to fix it in a mechanic shop. Each thread is like a solution to a particular problem and you can never leave to ask for solutions in right place and start asking questions in a wrong place.
The whole essense of this discussion and the forum in general is basically to sharpen peoples perspective about making the right investment putting everything in the right perspective and I'm sure thier are lots of people that joined the discussion as traders but in the long run haven seen the advantages involved in accumulating for the long term have shifted Thier initial plan and are currently long term holders.
Every thread is still not the same, even if there might be forum goals that members improve themselves, the goals of improving yourself may well be to stay the fuck on topic.. that helps you and it helps other members.
This thread does have a little bit of a problem because surely it emphasizes buying and holding, but also buying on the dip, so as soon as we try to time the dip, then there can be questions about whether that is like trading, so maybe part of the reason that DCA comes so much into this thread, even though it is not the topic of the thread
Sure. In any thread like this there will be a lot of questions to know the important or reasons of the dip and hold. Expecially for those whom have not participated in the thread. Sometimes even people in the thread for long also use to moved by Speculation and will come back and creat a wrong impression by questioning the thread, only to discover that the thread has built a strong community which is kicking against trading and shitcoin investment. I noost people here might be doin trading but can not discuss it here. Because of the porpos of this thread I am alway happy when ever I go outside the forum see almost all participants of this thread always mentioning DIP and HODL, it sound like an academy where they graduated from. And it's not a bad identy Afterall.
