Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
yeah....I don't really bring it up 
I have another guy who said he had too many toys in the garage as such...he pointed to his wife's bike....was like 1 or 2 btc..from back when...and said it was the most
expensive thing in the garage
as far as I know it is the first and only and likely ever time such an argument could be won by and old HODL'er
but yeah...I have issues with the Kirby Vacuum at 1 btc back when...i also have issues with price of btc jan 2018 and price in dec 2018 going down 70% or some such
after I retired with the btc/crypto as such....bout pissed myself hodl'ing thru that (did dump 13 btc was not gonna un-retire..got back 5 btc still down 8 btc or so grrrr from
the hoard grrrr...after that dump i was more or less immune through that horror....so HODL'ing became easy...
I have also found since 2013 till even now..that of the 90% or more on the forum here and FB that come in and out of btc/crypto and maybe in the real world
so most people crack at about $50,000 or so when it is 'real $$$'.....a guy in the summer of 2013 cashed out as a millionaire mainly due to family
and wife i think it was on bfl chat (butterfly labs chat) when btc was like July 1st, 2013 like $69 a coin.....
I hope he got back into btc along that timeline or invested the 1 million to show something out of all that at least
but as a kinda 'guess' from my past readings on here and elsewhere about $50k
I had a week at probably around $50k when all my friends and family figured out and had an honest ambush intervention like I was a moonie or in Amway
that was one uncomfortable hour before i ran out....and the same week my mom called me up crying that I looked like a schmuck to everyone
i put my btc/crypto in a trust and don't touch it....friends/family/god daughters etc
now they call me up btc/crypto up/down all up in the air....mostly when down..and i say 'this is what you get for trusting your inheritance to me who is obviously clueless..not
my problem..not my money..in the trust...at least i keep a few people up at night
in order to be good at HODL'ing btc/crypto you have to 'despise' $$$ a little bit or you crack under the pressure...so that was my mental trickery to HODL
just tossed it in a trust for when i die My lifestyle in no way suffers....still have expertise as boring...and be stealthy with my 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with only $32.K of miles
on it
anyway...how I coped with it
ps. i type as fast as i think so don't sweat my lengthy posts..

I need to make a trust, but I really also want to blow it all before I die!!! Your words ring so true in my proverbial ears, as I believe we have been around about the same time (this is my newish account). I have not bought any corn since before this account was made (You can only buy so many hookers and blow). I am not greedy, and, yes, getting rich was never the plan; it was a very nice outcome but I was in it for the tech. I seen the real-world first case use and was blown away.
Do I wish I would have been able to hold onto more than I did? I would think I do... But don't we all??? I remember how pissed off I was paying the extra 21 dollars from sending that first MO in. I got 6 less corn as the spot price was 3.17.
Could have, should have, would have
