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, you’re absolutely right especially in your first statement above because it summarizes what my whole experience here has been, even as a newcomer. Initially I used to get offended when someone tries correcting me or my post due to the mindset I arrived here with as in relation to bitcoin investment and with my own understanding of bitcoin I thought I knew it all not until I arrived here I noticed that I’m way far behind with my understanding of bitcoin and investing in it. Initially I thought investing in bitcoin is only for the rich or the high income earners, I also used to think that bitcoin is where you just put in some amount of money and in 2 days time you are already making profit, and also initially I used to sell my bitcoin at any given chance, but now as I begin to adapt to the ideas and corrections I get here, my mindset changes in such a way that I now view bitcoin as an asset which should remain with me even till old age, I keep accumulating and hold. I applied most of the ideas I got here and its working for me, I’m getting better day by day both psychologically and otherwise as I adjust to my mistakes through the corrections I get from your likes and others here too. I hope to learn more and get better as others who have succeeded here even in the past and present.
