Have you largely discontinued with your attempts to trade bitcoin?
Largely. But I never use much, if any, leverage. Now I'm not leveraging at all*. In the past year or so, I've been able to stack a few sats thanks to a few careful longs.
*Except for the occasional 80x, of course.Being a long-term Bitcoiner and experiencing its price appreciation over the years has given me a strict anti-gambling, anti-trading, anti-shitcoinery mentality. The mere thought of selling bulk amounts of Bitcoin, only to hope for a price drop to buy back lower is scary as hell to me. It's like letting greed take over rationality. I'm in Saylor's "it's going up forever, Laura" camp, and loving it.
