Got some 112.8k dip
talked me into it too.. bought me some dip at ~112.9kman buying the local dip habits die hard lol
My lower $112k buy orders did not get filled.. so far..
They were close (within a few hundred) but not cigar... accordingly my last buy orders to fill were in the mid $115ks.
For some reason, I was reminded of a post that I made on this thread in late 2018 or early 2019.. I had come to a resolution in my own head that I would not be opposed to selling any reasonable amount of BTC so long as the price is above $5k, yet I was also proclaiming that I would not sell any bitcoin below $5k, and I would ONLY buy below $5k.
That was ONLY about 6.5 years ago, and now I am buying at $120k and $115k.. yet at the same time, it is not like I am taking out new money to accomplish such buys.
Should some of us go with a new proclamation that our average cost per BTC is currently no greater than $5k? It is more difficult to calculate as compared with $1k, but it is reasonable for now, until we might turn it up to $10k.
$5k is still 23x profits in 6.5-ish years.
Many normies have difficulties imagining, and it does not seem to be over, and I am not trying to brag.
Mindrust had claimed to have had bought 1 BTC out of the 10 BTC that he sold around $4,500 in 2020, and sure, he could have had bought back right around 7.5 BTC, even if he bought back in at $6k... yet none of us want to lock in such losses and so we get greedy, and the greed results in bitterness when the downity discontinues happening, and it starts to become more and more clear that there is no going back.
The dip to $3.8k-ish on March 12, 2000 was a sort of god-send, yet even jonoiv had the guts to chime into the thread on that same day, and proclaim he was not buying back the coins that he had sold at around $6k because he was expecting more down. Hard to take some of these clowns seriously when they get too caught up upon downity scenarios, just like these days, we are not going through outrageous dumps, but we did get quite close to a 10% drop from the so far ATH, and yeah my lower buy levels did not quite fill, yet in the end, those buy orders are largely just fun, anyhow... since I don't really need to buy any more bitcoin... refrerring to the supra 0.63 BTC situation.. and I might have to revise that downward too... at some point... It is getting more and more impossible for a large number or normies to even believe that they are going to be able to get to 0.63 BTC or more, even if they start investing $250 per week right now. They may well have to go BIGGER.
A little interlude while we're waiting for the corn to rise again.
Ever since I was a child, radio has always fascinated me. I built my first crystal radio kit on my 9th birthday and never looked back. Being able to pull sounds out of the air without the direct use of electricity was mind-bending at the time. A few years later, I got myself one of those AM/FM/VHF/UHF/shortwave receivers and looked for stations almost nightly. I hooked a small speaker through the headphone jack and put it under my pillow so as not to wake anyone else up.
On a good night, I could get KDKA out of Pittsburgh and WBZ out of Boston (and they were quite far away), and I would listen to "Theater of the Mind" before falling asleep. I was also able to pick up the audio channels from TV stations out of the USA, and early on Saturday mornings, I would listen to Roger Ramjet before getting out of bed to watch the rest on TV. I spent many wakeful nights listening to Coast to Coast AM, especially when shift work made it impossible to sleep while others in my time zone were sleeping.
I still listen to the radio almost nightly, but now I generally use TuneIn Radio over the internet; the stations come in much clearer. Sometimes I enjoy tuning into small-town AM stations - it's a refreshing change. KWON out of Bartlesville still has a community call-in show where people can buy, sell, and trade stuff, and they even give their phone numbers over the air... so cute.
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that today (August 20th) is National Radio Day in the USA. KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was the first station granted a commercial license back in 1920. WBZ got theirs in 1921.
Oh and wrt radio, this is the coolest page on the internet (imo):

@xhomerx10 - I use Radio Garden often. You sound like you might be a Ham radio operator. Are you?

We might need you ham operator guys in the future to transmit bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto, The first letter sent by Adam Back asked about the creation of a Bitcoin whitepaper.
To Adam Back. Back didn't get interested until Bitcoin was well on its way.That is Back's "official story."
Is that story believable?
I always intended on getting a Ham operators licence but for some reason, I didn't make the time to do it. A friend's dad was a Ham operator and he offered to help me but I was always too busy.
You should give it a go. There's a free guide out there and it's really quite straightforward.Yeah. I agree with Richy_T in regards to you doing it.. since "we" might need you, and maybe BTCETFInvestor can help you out if you have any difficulties. There are likely other ham operator guys on the forum, and maybe there is a forum thread on the topic? 10-4 good buddy?
