I am not proposing any changes and/or deletions, since I already made my comment about such fantasylandia contents (hahahaha).

Second, I did edit that above portion of my post, since when I read through it, I thought that there were areas that could have had been MOAR smoother and MOAR clearer.


I think that there has been some value in the outcome of hesitation and/or conservatism of whatever various investments that we made (yet I cannot completely speak for your own particulars), and I still think that largely based on my own then knowledge and the context of the then times, I was being as aggressive as I could have had been with my investment into bitcoin without overdoing it, even though in subsequent years, I have strengthened my perceptions of BTC's investment thesis, but I cannot really go back and say that I would have or could have had been more aggressive in my approach to bitcoin based on my then knowledge and my then financial and psychological circumstances -

- even though in recent times, I am recommending guys to be even more aggressive than I was, yet I have increased my own recommendations of actions because bitcoin's investment thesis has become stronger and it seem that the Bigger and BIGGER players are both hoarding bitcoin and telling others about their plans to hoard bitcoin.. so in some sense, out of self preservation, normies need to step up their bitcoin accumulation game otherwise they are going to end up getting left behind and having way fewer coins than they could have had if they had gotten started accumulating bitcoin.  Currently, it is not looking good for a lot of retail sitting on their hands, even when we have governments, institutions and status quo rich folks talking about their bitcoin treasury plans.   

It is not even guaranteed that bitcoin prices are going up from here or that they won't correct back down to these current prices or that bitcoin prices might not go back below $100k, yet it still remains the case that the ONLY way to prepare for UP is to buy bitcoin, and since many normies (perhaps 99% of the world's population) are failing/refusing to buy bitcoin, they are failing/refusing to prepare their lil selfies for UPpity.


When it comes to bitcoin, that is not a very good approach, even though surely a lot of folks are failing/refusing to invest into bitcoin in part based on their perceptions regarding what "other people think."  There are even people who have recently become quite against bitcoin ever since Trump started talking up bitcoin, and many of us could give less than two ratt's asses about what Trump says or claims about bitcoin, even though he may be contributing to pumping bags that we had more than 10 years prior to his grifting onto the bitcoin scene... to the extent that he might short-termedly screw things up to the extent that bitcoin gives any shits either.


Even though you are correct that in terms of various kinds of averages and even the debasement of the dollar, the first peak of just below $65k in April 2021 was likely higher than the second peak of $69k in November 2021, but still the BTC price dipped down to below $30k and it took several months to get back to $69k, and another thing is that if you are hinging on that tightness to your technical analysis, then yoiu are likely being too strict in regards to either understanding bitcoin (in terms of it ongoing exponential s-curve adoption component) or even giving a sufficiently large enough discount to reliance on technical analysis.


"We" know that it is really not "the majority" that understand and/or are buying bitcoin.  There is a lot of exaggeration in the "everyone knows" and "everyone is getting onboard" assertions.  99%-ish of retail is still being left out (sure perhaps due to their own lackenings in regards to either getting started and/or being proactive in their looking into bitcoin.

In this case, everybody knows is an exaggeration.


Even if we attempt to take out your level of jadedness and your smarter than everyone else sentiment, you still make a correct insight that everybody (not even close to a majority) does not know about bitcoin.  Sure, there are large segments of the society that have heard the word bitcoin, but they hardly have a clue about what bitcoin is, and if they did know what bitcoin is, then they would at least have some, even if it might ONLY be 1-5% of their quasi-liquid investment portfolio or 1% to 5% of their income dollar cost averaged into it starting from as soon as possible..

It is going to take a bit of time for normies to realize that they need to buy some bitcoin, and surely it is going to cost more and more for those who are waiting longer and longer to get into bitcoin, and yeah, they are going to cause those of us who have 0.21 BTC or more to appear like rich as fuck, since they won't even be able to accumulate 0.21 BTC over 5-10 years or more... even if they are able to currently start at investing into bitcoin at $100 to $200 per week.. and that really is not that much money, even though it seems like a lot right now.. yet those of us who might have had started investing into bitcoin in late 2013 or earlier, we might have had been able to become rich as fuck by merely buying $10 of bitcoin per week..

Think about it, a guy who started investing $10 per week into bitcoin in near the top of the BTC price in November 2013 would have had invested around $6k by now and would have had accumulated about 4.74 bitcoin...   Such $10 per week investment would have had really paid off for such person getting into bitcoin in late 2013, yet right now, I am having my doubts about a person starting right now with $200 per week into bitcoin to be able to accumulate 0.21 BTC or more within the next 10 years.  We cannot be sure, even though we can see information about a lot of governments, institutions and status quo rich folks talking about plans to hoard bitcoin, which surely contributes to upward pressures on bitcoin prices..


First.  There is some validity to those theories about the disappearance of BTC from exchanges and from OTC desks, yet as the BTC price goes up, there are still going to be some folks who are willing to put their bitcoin in such places if they are given more money for them, and there will be guys selling at all price points on the way up, and surely some of them might ONLY be selling very small portions of their stash on the way up, too.

Second, we don't really need that many bitcoin in order to be in quite a good position, especially for guys who were accumulating prior to 2021, and who may well might have had largely finished their BTC accumulation prior to 2021, even as low as 10 BTC would put some of them in a position to either be at their entry-level fuck you status, or maybe within reach of being there within the next 2-4 years with the same BTC stash size which means that they don't even need to accumulate more bitcoin.

Surely the longer in the better, yet from your registration date, I see right around 28 months of your registration time on the forum, so unless you front-loaded your bitcoin investment or maybe you got into bitcoin earlier than your forum registration date, otherwise, I would think that most guys are better off to just keep accumulating bitcoin for a whole cycle or even more than a whole cycle in order to get to a sufficiently adequate BTC stash size so that they can sit back and relax. .yet you are implying that you are already at such stage of being able to sit back and relax - based on your already accumulated BTC stack size?
