I mine the shit coins at considerable profit and buy btc with them.
But I always hold some of them.

And as to my time farming the past I do agree with you that its the past fuck it.
For right now we have far far far far far too many shitcoins that their sole purpose is to dilute wealth of the "crypto" holder.

I doubt that the bitcoin and/or crypto space is a zero sum game, even though sure there are some folks who are distracted into shitcoins who would otherwise be spending time, energy and money on bitcoin, but still seems like a BIG SO WHAT? to me.

I also recognize that it is quite likely that a lot of arguably smart and even talented developers got sucked into ethereum and other shitcoins who would have had been quite skilled to contribute in various bitcoin projects, yet again, so what? it is what it is.. Some of them might come back to bitcoin and others might stay in fantasy land working on scams or scam adjacent baloney...

Which someplace I wrote but maybe on altcoinstalks. Not bitcointalk that I seek to blend some from here and some from there.

That may well mean that your vision is foggy and you are a wee bit distracted.

As My chance to get rich at this was lost by 2017, but I did get far more financially comfortable then I would have holding cash bonds and silver/gold.

Of course there are degrees. Many of the shitcoins greatly outperformed the dollar in the past 8-ish years, so yeah, your decision to include various shitcoins and to not focus on bitcoin has not been a total failure.. but again, you seems likely you still want to keep various feet (how many feet do you have) in various shitcoins, just in case... which seems a bit retarded, but you can do what you like.

Where is that diversification discussion from Saylor? Yeah, you might not be a fan of Saylor, but so what? Saylor makes some good points about diversification.

I found this one, but there was another earlier one (perhaps in 2021? - AlcoHoDL had posted it in this very thread), in which Saylor spoke about the waste of time to diversify into shitcoins, even though Saylor has been more ambiguous in recent times.. .but the point still stands that most if not all value flows into the leader of the sector (which is bitcoin) and all others will either trend to zero or largely just be correlated with bitcoin with additional risk and without any real and/or meaningful upside.

Maybe you are much better off now than you were earlier (such as in 2017 when you had greater allocations to shitcoins), but you still seem to have not really gotten the memo, and sure if you are mostly keeping your shitcoins down to 10% or less than the size of your bitcoin holdings, then it might not be as big of a deal (even your admitted 14%-ish is not really a big deal either, even though it is diluting your bitcoin holdings... so maybe instead of having 11 bitcoins you end up having 9.5 BTC, and sure it can make a difference, but maybe it is not going to be as bad as if you were to have 50% in shitcoins or some even more retarded kind of an allocation that many shitcoiners have even a lower allocation to bitcoin than that.

And by the way, your dumbass statement about "it being too late" is also retarded, and makes you sound like a noob. It is never too late to improve your focus on bitcoin, as long as you have a 4-10 year investment timeline, and sure you might be starting to get to a point where you are no longer able to have at least a 4 year time line in bitcoin. But you really never have even established any evidence that you are an actual bitcoin investor rather than a trader constantly trying to play short-term (less than 4-year) BTC price waves. So your whole perspective about bitcoin continues to seem broken since you tend to largely recognize bitcoin as a trade rather than an investment, even though you wished that you knew how to think about bitcoin differently, your brain is largely pickled, and there is no way to turn a pickle back into a cucumber. Sorry to break the news. Cry

I think we are in a moment of a Positive and much-needed Correction, as in every market. ....

Down before up, because "reasons"

Good luck with those kinds of ongoing prayers that we have been hearing from so many folks who either failed/refused to prepare for up, or sold too many too soon.

Sideways in the 90-110k slot is very good for mining. So I will take sideways for now and not worry too much about it.

Yes.. sideway "for now" until it doesn't. You are not willing to bet on your earlier October/November timeline.

This is a very alarming statement, which could potentially lead to some kind of mindrusty move. Can you elaborate why you don't believe King Daddy can make a parabolic move in 2025? Cool

P.S. WO is drowning in bearishness and shitcoinery...

P.P.S. All of a sudden remembered Roach. Wonder if the old nazi goldbug is still alive? Huh

How much of your stash are you planning to sell in 2025 serveria? I might sell up to 5% or so, depending on what the bitcoin price does. I probably should figure out some kind of way to sell more.. but in my current system there seems to be some resistance to selling very much.. I might need to figure a way to snap out of it, even if it might mean going below 0.63 of dee cornz..

If the USD weakens investors may increase capital inflows then bitcoin investment will increase. This will increase the price of Bitcoin. If the USD weakness is due to the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, this could be positive for BTC as investor interest increases.

Cited for visibility, but I am still not sure if I understand the meaning.

So my mind is not btc as much as it should be.

I think it would be hard for anyone's mind to be these days. Bitcoin has gotten sort of boring. I've seen people online calling anyone who accepts Bitcoin a scammer because they're accepting hard money that will appreciate, thereby scamming their customers. This is the state of Bitcoin today. Buy and hold is considered legendary, accepting Bitcoin is considered a scam, and spending it is considered retarded. This is so far away from what made Bitcoin great, it's hard to believe it can continue to be a success the direction the community is going. In the last two days I've had several friends tell me they're buying Solana and 2 even told me they're buying dogecoin. I ask them why they don't buy Bitcoin as it's becoming the world's reserve currency and the answer is always either "I'm too late" or "You can't do anything with your Bitcoin." It's getting harder and harder to disagree with them. That being said, BTC to $400K this year!

A lot of normies are going to get left out of BTC and have to buy bitcoin later, even folks who should "know better."

You just come to say: "I told you so?"

Don't you have any better bedside manners than that?

You seem to have grown too detached from "us." Treating "us" like your little play thingies.
