It is up to you whether you believe that you have overdone the planning, yet I bet that it feels good to have your various scenarios plotted out, and then you don't really have to think about them, because you can see various scenarios that you have plotted out, and perhaps sometimes you will be  beating yourself up because you had found that one of your minority scenarios ended up playing out rather than what you had considered to be one of your base case scenarios. but so what?  You still got the therapy of working out the scenarios.. and then perhaps after you had gone into detail several times, you might well end up learning that you feel a whole hell of a lot better if you do not go into so much detail, so you can still accomplish a lot of the plotting out of scenarios, but to leave your various scenarios more loosely outlined rather than overly specific, and then perhaps you end up getting less attached to whether your more base case scenarios end up playing out or not, since you have already prepared yourself for variations of UP, DOWN and sideways, so largely in the end, the main point is that you are largely prepared for any of the scenarios, so it ends up not even being super important to the extent that you end up being correct, even though surely many of us, even the longer terms HODLers, are still going to be somewhat agitated when one of our 5% to 12% scenarios ends up playing out rather than one of our 35%-ish scenarios.

I think that part of your personality drives you to plot out the scenarios, and you likely are already realizing that you have largely already done most of the work, so that a lot of this is becoming easier and easier, even if you are still feeling some stress from some of our seemingly extreme BTC price moves.  I can remember several of mine, and I was buying at several points on the way down, then I was starting to get stressed because the BTC price had corrected 30% or more, and then I was running out of money to buy more, so then part of my stress was that I just had to wait through the rest of the dip because I had no more money, and the best that  I might be able to do is to have the dip last long enough for  some  payment to come in, otherwise, I was feeling  stress that I had to wait it out.. yet then the more that I was in bitcoin, the more I learned how to keep more cash available so I would not have those kinds of stresses, and sure it still happens from time to time, but surely not as bad in 2025 as compared to some of the ones I had in 2017 and/or even at other later points.  My systems got better. even though the stress never completely went away.


You kind of remind me of this guy.  Need I 'splain further, steve?  Steve is that uie-pooie?


I am thinking the under current market conditions "the pain zone" would start right around $65k or lower.  .. But, yeah, sure.. I am not unsympathetic to differing opinions, and  surely I do not like or appreciate BTC price drops, yet I believe that I can still appreciate that "the pain zone" happens at different price points for different folks.


Lucky fucks.. for those under $50k recipients being in a position to receive their dispersement with an opportunity to buy on the dip.  Lucky fucks, lucky fucks.


Does not seem unusual to me. BTC prices dip from time to time and sometimes in unexpected ways.  Are you new here or something?


Perhaps, which also known at the trend is your friend.. .and perhaps not your friend if it is going opposite to the direction you would  have had wanted (and/or expected). 


I speculate that we probably would need to get into the sub $55k-ish arenas before we might start to consider that this here particular bull run is over... but, hey, what do I know?  I am just a random wall observing normie with an opinion.


I was not around these here corn parts for the drop from $32 to $1.50... even though I can imagine and I can still largely agree that dee cornz does dooo deez kinds of thingies.  So even with my less maturity in cornz observations, I will sheepishly agree and sheepishly add that dee cornz might fill the gap, and it might not fill such perceived gappenings.. .

While in the process of potentially working to fill such arguable gappening, we cannot really know, even though currently it is appearing that a whole hell of a lot of DOWNity momentum is oongoingly continuing.. ..and continuing until morale improves... or not.


I hope.




I personally think that Saylor should be talking about continuing to buy rather than not selling, including his own practices to continue buying, even though historically he has not really promoted himself and/or his company as specializing in the buying of dips.


Yeah.. $50k does seem like a bit of an exaggeration, yet dreams (nightmares) can frequently contain those kinds of extreme presentations.


Does sound a wee bit whiny... especially since it seems to me that you must be doing something wrong if you are saying that you are more poor today as compared to 2017 (inflation adjusted or whatever.. bitcoin no give no shits about inflation and/or the debasement of the dollar which is part of the reason that many of us are putting value into this here lil tingilie called dee cornz), and even going by your forum registration date, you just got here during the later portions of the 2017 run, to the extent that you might have had started to buy BTC in 2017, yet even if you did not blow your whole wadd in the peak of 2017, you would have had 2018, 2019 and  2020 to accumulate bitcoin.. Holy fucking shit, there would have been, and should have had been opportunities to stack some sats in the past nearly 8 years, even if you had front-loaded your BTC investment in BTC at some point in late 2017.

So for example, if you had invested $100 per week into bitcoin starting from your forum registration date, you would have had invested nearly $40k, and accumulated nearly 3 BTC.    Yet you could have accumulated an additional 7 BTC or so, if you had been able to front load your investment into BTC with another $40k somewhere towards the beginning of the time that you came to the forum.  So that could have had been 10 BTC with $80k invested (those are mindrust amounts of BTC) .. and surely would not be a bad place to be and even should have had put you better off today as compared to BTC, especially if you had been able to focus on BTC, even if your dollar availability amounts might have had been different than the amounts I outlined as a possible budget.


Probably, ou can wait until mid-2025 or perhaps as late as mid-2026 before you can start focusing on waiting for 1-2 years.. In other words, your desire to wait for 1-2 years seems to be way too damned early.. but hey whatever, you do you... you negative nancy wannabe.       


I don't think so, but we could maybe formulate a bet on such topic.


You go somac!!!

Talk yourself into such a bearish perspective.


No, but we do seem to have a few arguably whiny-ass "party poops" in this here room of these here parts with us.   


There is no such thing as a mini-bear.

Either you are a bear or you are not a bear.  Go back to taxonomic training.   


Dee cornz be repeatedly halvening and doubling at the same time over time?

Now, that's a puzzle to contemplate, and as you seem to suggest, such a unique dynamics may well end up being true in dee case of my lil precious.   


Hopefully, you do not end up selling too many too soon, merely for some inabilities to defer gratification.


Any kind of deathlift is not recommended by this here cat, even if you also might happen to be a kitty cat with 9 available lives.


You are correct. That could be a possible contributing factor. Perhaps? Perhaps?
