So my first cycle isn't very shaky, I knew what I missed and I swore that I am not gonna make the same mistake.
So how was your 2017 to 2020? how long did it take you before you started to focus on accumulating bitcoin? We now know that 2017 to 2020 would have had also been a good time to accumulate, even though surely we had a short lived top between about October and December 2017, yet still as long as you were not doing your frontloading between October 2017 and December 2017, you sill may well could have had ended up doing quite well.. like even in my case, there can be a bit demoralizing when buying bitcoin during a period that the price just kept getting cheaper and cheaper and then get stuck on flat (referring to 2015), yet the downfall between 2018 and 2020 might have felt in a similar kind of a way, yet retrospectively, it ended up being a great time to be buying bitcoin, even if some of your purchases might have had been during some of the higher price periods during that time.
Well, I already had my lessons back then but also I don't want to take the absolute risk so I diversified everything from into bitcoin and gold and more or less it was 50/50 trategy and I just skipped everything else even though some other things came pretty tempting because I just wanted to keep focusing on one thing and gold is universal so I can concentrate on bitcoin completely and also it didn't take much of any strategy, just buy and hold and occasinal cashing out the profits but I confess even in 2018 and 202 I did some stupid spendings but it was okay not that much regretable as 2014.
And finally, JJG claiming me to be OG and becoming legendary on the same day should be some kind of sign for all in...before the UPtober.
Congratulations. Surely after such time participating in the forum the merits start to add up, and still in the beginning maybe it is harder to earn merits since no one knows you, and it takes a bit of time for other members to get to know you.. You have posted in way more topics than me.
My first 4 years on the forum, I hardly went outside of the WO thread, yet in 2018, I did begin to slowly start to go outside of the WO thread, yet still trying to mostly stay within bitcoin oriented threads rather than other topics.. even though sometimes I will participate a bit in other topics, too... yet there are still ONLY so many hours in the day and I lose patience with some of the topics, and I sometimes will get frustrated to get involved in (or to talk about) some other forum topics, unless they are at least attempted to be related to bitcoin.
Even after 8 years my knowledge about bitcoin's technical-related things is quite limited but I keep on reading as much as I can and accumulate as much knowledge about bitcoin but in the beginning I concentrated more on the betterment of my finance and even political knowledge that helped me to see the bigger and clear picture of the world which the mainstream media deliberately hide or misguide with their own propoganda.
I am not that heavy when it comes to WO posting because I always had some kind of hesitation like I can't match their vibe or something like that but I never forget to visit WO whenever I login to the forum and read as much as possible and until now my total login time is like 328 days and I can say that atleast 30-40% of the share went on reading WO alone.

And, yeah, I screwed up your nice round number of 1,000 merits.. by sending you another smerit.
It's always good to have one more.
P.S: DAMN! JJG novels are the best ones.
