I know that there are good likelihoods that I am interacting with bots, sometimes, an so frequently, I will try to keep up my antenna in order to identify such, and/or to perhaps pay less attention if I think that I am not dealing with a real person.. but it still can be difficult to know, since there are some real people who also write like bots (perhaps they are translating their posts, which might be a bit more innocent than having the bots write their posts completely).

So, yeah, figuring out who are the "us" is not always easy and/or obvious.


Details.  Details. 

Aren't you sensitive? hahahahahaha

Expecting a bot to know what is a haiku?

 


I don't know, vapourminer.

The level of panic is not always obvious, since we know that historically there have been way more mindrusts than just mindrust, but they don't say anything, and maybe they even do a slightly less extreme variation of mindrust.

There have been times that I thought that maybe I should take a bit more off the table.

So, my conclusion, is that it can be difficult to control some of our worry, even if we are in a pretty damned good place, we might end up spontaneously end up selling 20-40% of our stash, and then rationalizing that we did the right thing, when it should have had been fairly obvious that we over did it, and maybe we were too heavily invested in bitcoin, but maybe at the same time, we would have had been better to just take 5-10% off the table rather than taking 20% to 40% off of the table.

I am pretty confident about my various systems, yet even I have some doubts from time to time in regards to if I might need to tweak (even in relatively extreme kinds of ways).

And, even mainstream services sometimes do not help.   There have been times that I had been cut out of some of my exchanges, or even places that I held my coin end up seeming to harass me (of course, jumping through hoops to keep the service, and sometimes wondering if it is worth it or if my providing more information is a kind of trap).      so right now, I can say that i am keeping some liquidation avenues open, but I sometimes wonder if some of them might dry up.... which sure might not be a bad thing to then be stuck with peer to peer exchange of bitcoin, yet when I travel I sometimes look for places to buy and/or sell bitcoin (even selling for goods or services), and it can be a bit depressing to find difficulties with folks who claim to buy/sell bitcoin, but when you inquire further, they really don't.. or they have multiple hoops in terms of calling in advance and making sure that the right person is available and blah blah blah..


Sometimes, it can be frustrating dealing with real people about the value of bitcoin.

Sure.  Spending bitcoin is fun, yet at the same time, when we are dealing with people who we are trying to teach financial responsibility and good financial habits, frequently, spending bitcoin is not really the habit that we should be teaching them... and some folks (including young people perhaps moreso to grow  out of the habit, but it exists with adults too) have such difficulties to employ low time preference behaviors, which should be part of the whole package of knowing about bitcoin in a practical way that goes into a cycle or two or even longer, depending upon financial circumstances...
