It is all thanks to you as well my leader. It is one thing to have a topic started, and another thing to have someone so dedicated as you dishing out your abundant wealth of knowledge generously to the benefit of all. I remember my first post here and how you quickly responded to my ignorance, and corrected me. Truth be told you made this forum more interesting for at my early stage. I won't be wrong to say that everything I'm doing right today as an investor, I learnt all from you.
Thanks for the acknowledgement, yet I still think that anyone learning has to be receptive to the ideas and has to test them (and adapt them) to their own circumstances without screwing up too much.. and, sure it is quite likely that each of us end up making mistakes, yet at the same time, if we are adjusting to our mistakes, then we should end up in even a stronger position (financially and likely psychologically, too).. which I am glad that you are feeling like you are putting yourself in a stronger position..
By the way, your forum registration date is ONLY about a year and a half, so many of us feel so good when the BTC price is going up, and we are feeling like we are in profits, which is part of the reason that many of us need to make it through a whole cycle to find out how we handle the ups and the downs and to see where we are at after a whole cycle.. and surely we even need more time, since many times making it through a whole cycle is not even enough to really feel that we can stop accumulating bitcoin or even to change our bitcoin accumulating strategy (which is hopefully mostly focused on ongoing buying) in any meaningful way.
Perhaps JayJuanGee have responded accordingly yet I would like to add some few opinions. Of course JayJuanGee has a been guiding hand to many of us including you Justbillywitt, yet in my opinion you also did play a crucial role in obtaining some knowledge by consistently contributing the little you knew about bitcoin and getting corrected by JJG and his likes or other members of your category and/or forum status, however it's not just about getting here with your investment or building a portfolio however it also includes keeping up with accumulations rather than getting carried away or being distracted with the little which you think you have known or learnt in the process. I encourage you and other members here on this thread including me to be more of an accumulator through 1-2 or more cycles as we haven't seen the ups and downs of bitcoin yet as we only have been in between a complete cycle not knowing what it feels like to experience bear markets and a complete bull market.
Relative comparison is even encouraged in my opinion as you think you're doing well also look at guys who have been here for decades plus and how much they are still accumulating, if Yiu needs reference you can visit the wall observer thread which JJG also belongs to and you will learn in relativity to a little bitcoin journey which we have started some guys have been on it and still know the need to keep accumulating hence I will put that to you, me and every other members visiting and participating on this thread.
