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.

Yes JJG, your first statement above is just the simple truth about what this is all about and what it entails to become successful or rather to succeed and grow as an investor because right here even as a newbie I’ve been able to learn so many things. Right here I’m beginning to learn how to adapt to new ideas, and accept the fact that no one knows it all. Initially before I came on board I used to think that investing in bitcoin is only for the rich people and also I used to think bitcoin is where you just invest some amount of cash and in one or two days time, you are already making profit and you trade off for the quick profit and flew away. Right now with the ideas I’m getting here, I now see bitcoin as an asset unlike before where I just trade my bitcoin at every chance just for quick gains. Initially I used to get offended whenever someone corrected me or my post because with the idea I have about bitcoin  in the past, that was the same  idea I came here with, but now I know better as I’m beginning to learn and adapt to new ideas as I continue to get corrections from you and others. And I hope to learn more each day and succeed while I follow on the right path just as many who have done it here in the past and present.
