If you are definitely a believer in BTC, then why don't you actually own any?

You said that you own the BTC spot ETFs only.  That is hardly the same as owning BTC... even though it gives price exposure - and perhaps some ways in and out - even though you are not an actual owner in the BTC, and maybe you have not even read their contract terms sufficiently to understand what it is that you actually own in case shit hits the fan with their supposed custody of BTC to back your shares.


If you have decades of experience investing, then what the fuck took you so long to come around to bitcoin, unless you bought bitcoin earlier and then you sold them for ETFs, which does not make much sense or even sound like someone as intelligent as you seem to be wanting to make yourself out to be, as compared to some of us who might not be as smart as you... at least from your perspective.


Sure.  Gold has been pumping in recent times, but it likely is still not a good place to put your money, as compared to putting it into bitcoin.

Hopefully at some point you will figure that out instead of getting distracted.

Another thing is that if you have a long history of buying gold and you love it so much, then maybe you should still make sure that it is no more than 10% the size of your bitcoin allocation - and if you are brand new getting into gold, I see no reason to make it any more than 1% or 2% the size of your bitcoin position.. so that you can keep your focus,.. but hey whatever, you can do what you like in terms of choosing to invest into an inferior asset.... and sure it could be possible that gold will have some reasonable performance, yet if you are a long term investor rather than a trader, then maybe it is better to just skip gold all together.. yet of coruse, that is a personal choice, and you can suffer the consequences of whatever choices you end up making.



You might need to zoom out a bit more instead of getting caught up in short term distractions.

Sure gold has been doing relatively well in the past 9 months or so.. ..


I doubt that the decision is so difficult, but hey you decide what you like, and gold is not really a topic of this thread either...



We don't need to agree, yet maybe you are wanting that we elaborate on talking about the difference between bitcoin investing and trading?

I doubt it is good to be trading bitcoin rather than investing into it, but people can do what they like.. and have fun staying poor if they are a trader.  Investors have quite outperformed traders, especially if we are talking over a couple of cycles, and it is probably going to continue to be true that investors outperform traders, but yeah, some folks cannot resist but to trade when they could have done quite well for themselves if they had mostly restrained from trading and emphasized on investing into bitcoin.


Should have had done that in 2022... and/or maybe you should not have had bought that crap in the first place  If you had traded that for bitcoin in 2019 or whenever it was that you supposedly became "more enlightened"^** about bitcoin, that would have had probably been even MOAR better..

**Not that I actually agree that you are actually enlightened about bitcoin, even though you might have become more enlightened about bitcoin as compared to prior level of likely non-enlightenment.

**Note I also saw Biodom's questioning why the fuck you were in silver in the first place.. or that sometimes when you take a position, you need to see it through.. . yet surely bitcoin is a better long term play in most scenarios anyhow.. .even though somes times shorter term plays might not have bitcoin winning.  .


You said that you were a man with good visions.. like a visionary.. .. and surely any of us should be careful when we are going down those kinds of self-descriptive paths... especially guys with your WO posting history.. unless you were merely trying to be funny in an ironic kind of a way.

I know that you have some humor in you, but at the same time, you have some stubborn seriousness as well.

Seriously.   

 


Perhaps I couldn't help my lil selfie?

Your fat lil picnic bear image reminded me of such.

 

Are you going to proclaim victim like BTCETFInvestor and assert that I entrapped you?

hahahahahaha

Nice to see you in these here parts, and you haven't lost your rambunctiousness.


I doubt that there is any reason to get so excited, since I doubt that any new forks (if they were to happen) will end up working out as well as the Bcash fork.. at least for the bitcoiners.
