I will attempt to lead by example in my public (in this thread) assertion that I am truly on the way deep down on the inside side starting to feel more and moar fond of and attached to uie pooie and your seemingly practical and not overly strict resolution intentions.

I tend to eliminate one of the two so that the aspect ratio will automatically adjust to whichever one (of the two) I am setting.

  I think that from time to time, some peeps comment on the need for ONLY 1. It would be difficult for you to reasonably proclaim something to never be done, even though you did make such proclamation, as if you were the first one to ever think about it.


I know.. so many peeps ongoingly calling for (or even describing) stability in bitcoin, that does not exist in the real world of bitcoin, whether "we" want such stability or not.


You can only attempt to prepare financially and psychologically as you go for either direction (including extremes), and so once it happens, you cannot reverse the clock.  Since we know volatility is one of the most inevitable things in bitcoin, there should be things that we can do to prepare our lil selfies, financially and psychologically, no? 

I am not even saying that we know the direction of the volatility or the extent of it, yet we likely know in advance that it is is coming - that is the definition of "inevitable" or "near inevitable", which I believe bitcoin's volatility fits into such category.. has been since I got into bitcoin and not likely to go away anytime soon or prior to BTC prices reaching more than 10x gold prices, and even then, such inevitable bitcoin volatility still might not completely disappear, even if it might end up playing out a wee bit moar less.


You are not capable of HODL, and you don't even have to hold all of it.. .. but yeah, thinking practically, of course in 2012 BTC hardly cost anything, so acquiring 100 plus should not have had been very difficult... .. so yeah, the challenges are in the details of both knowing to hold and knowing how to do it, including that if you over supply yourself, you could have easily had 500 plus BTC in 2012 and still shaved of 200-ish bitcoin between 2012 and now and still had 300 BTC at this time.. I could tell you how you could have had done it, but  it does not do much good looking back and describing how you could have had done it, except to figure out how to do a similar kind of a thing going forward.

Actually, I am fairly certain that I am overselling the quantity of BTC that you would have had needed to sell in order to still have had a good time along the way, since it seems to me that you could have sold way fewer BTC (such as selling only or less than 100 BTC) and still had a rocking good time in the process.. and surely the secret seems to be incrementalism, living within your means to use fiat first, rather than fucking around with selling too many BTC too early and having expectations to buy back those sold BTC cheaper and blah blah blah. that buying back cheaper bullshit gets a lot of folks into selling way too many BTC too soon.. We see it over and over and over...


Not gonna happen.

Sure BTC prices are going to go up, but it is not always going to seem like it (unless you happen to be looking at the 200-WMA instead of spot prices)


You speak.  WOW!!!!!!! 

You are able to formulate a whole sentence on your own?  WOW!!!!!!!  Even two sentences, who would-a-thunk?


I have no problem with brainstorming various ways to get bitcoin without overly pumping the BTC price, yet sometimes there also might be needs for practicality.

Another problem is thinking that the USA has 200k BTC when around 94k of those coins likely belong to Bitfinex.  I neither agree with doing away with due process or the USA government being incentivized to take people's coins (or the coins of institutions or governments) without such due process.
