Kissing cousins.

Homo?

Is being gay somehow related to kissing your cousin?

No Alabama homo.

Mine was a question. Could have even been two questions, except for my lack of proper punctuation.

Also, I have done some sexual stuff with a female cousin when I was young (experimenting). Not full sex, just touching. She was the one who initiated it. Bad girl... Cheesy

That's what she said.

meaning...
I am not supposed to explain further.. because it's an expression.. and it fits with a bit of broad interpretation.

This is definitely going to have a Big impact on my holdings.
I guess I have to go back to been respectful and humble at work for Now.

sweet child of Jesus... you writing that at a 10%-20% correction makes me sigh.
You surely have never experienced a 80%-90% price decrease of your Bitcoin holdings...

many of us here have gone through that 2-3 times.
relax man

I'm thinking that Ambatman would have had started investing into BTC before his forum registration date (right around 20 months) to have greater than 5x price appreciation, even though it surely is possible that his numbers could be that well..

One of the difficulties with newbies is that it can take a decently long time to stack, unless the newbie is able to front-load his investment, which truly would have been the better scenario for someone with a bitcoin tenure date like Ambatman's.

I am thinking back to what I would have done if I had just learned about bitcoin at that time and if my circumstances were similar to my circumstances in late 2013 when I actually did start.

I think that it would have had been difficult to frontload. I would have had some of the funds for frontloading, so it would not have had been impossible, but still difficult...and difficult to transpose my own situation to a later date, since I became a different person 9.5 years after getting involved in bitcoin.

An overwhelming majority of people are not in a position to frontload their bitcoin investment, so if the BTC price is going up as they come in they are paying higher and higher prices, and maybe at some point they might just end up buying in bulk.. but still hard to do, even when we were mostly in the $55k to $70k range for about 8 months.

Ok people come on. We don't want to see the 80s again, it's Christmas for Christ's sake.

You mean never, ever, ever again? We don't exactly have a choice, do we?

What are the odds of never into the $80ks, again? It is possible, but I would think that the odds are greater than 50% that we dip into the $80ks at some point in the future.

I would be willing to make a bet about never below $75k again, yet I am not even confident that the odds of never sub $75k again are more than 50%. I would still make the bet just because, out of principle.

El Salvador bought BTC11 bitcoins today.

Together they bought BTC11 bitcoins after they recently received a $1.4 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

When the news - IMF buys BTC using El Salvador as a proxy? Obviously, when it comes to countries, the rule "invest only what you can afford to lose" doesn't apply - besides, you're investing with borrowed money, which is really, really smart Roll Eyes

I had previously done the calculations and in the last 3-ish years, El Salvador's BTC buys have been pretty whimpy in the whole scheme of things and in compared to its gross domestic product...even though for sure it had been amongst the more impoverished of countries, so given their situation, probably their bitcoin investment and ability to stick with it has been pretty good for it in a variety of ways including that even if they are getting some loans and servicing their old loans, they are still doing pretty well in the department of largely spending within their means rather than the usual levels of self indulgence and even the history of latin American leaders self-dealing (with the encouragement of western governments and western financial systems that are set up to inspire such self-dealings).
