I haven't forgotten. I'm not sure how long I should wait in anticipation, because if you show up 5 years from now yelling "SEE, I FKN TOLD YOU!" I'm going to laugh at you again.

At least you're right in that you own up to your fuckups.

No. The $200 range would have to be part of the Wave 4 correction, DanV style that I had bought into and believed in, which I then abandoned as soon as the dollar signs in my eyes lit up at the prospect of another Bitcoin take-off, but which I am now buying into again, except I aint 'buying' or selling anything to do with crypto.......actually, I never abandoned it all, but I figured on a rise up to around $800 for the B wave of the Primary wave 4 correction......man, I have lost my fucking shirt on Bitcoin in 2014. It has also just come to my attention that I am down around $1.5K on crypto investments that I 'didn't care about', namely 30 Litecoin and 3500 Quark (lol/cringe) that I bought in Nov 2013, which are now worth next to fuck all.........great having so much cash that $1.5K doesn't matter, innit? Except for the fact that I don't, and $1.5K certainly fucking does matter to me.

Anyhow, if Wave A took from Dec - April, and Wave B took from April - June, then Wave C should reach it's conclusion by Dec 2014. Only grounds upon which I can come gloating full of self righteousness after that date, would be if Bitcoin just continues to grind and bounce up weakly as 2013's China and/or Willy bot inspired exuberance is slowly but surely deflated out of the market.

I;ve had some of the same thoughts/isssues that you have or had.. I just decided to put all my coins into cold storage and not look at the price that often. Its hard, trust me to not look at the prices, so my goal is to look at it once a day, then once every other, etc. kind of like getting of drugs or something similar, lol...

Im in it for the long haul, Im more worried about the price in 5 to 10 years, not really today. so I dont know why its bothering me so much, I do buy a little when its low, but not that much, I dont have a ton of bitcoin but enough that if bitcoin hits 5k I should be set for life.

I even toyed with the idea of selling yesterday and rebuying back when it hit sub 400.. glad i didn't do it. thats just another reason im glad my coins aren't on my computer, its a pain to get them out of cold storage, so it gives you time to think about it..

Now if you just have a few coins or are a day trader, then its a different mentality. But I think the best thing to do is just hold. I've already cashed out a significant amount when we were close to the ALH to get out of debt and buy a car, etc, so I dont need the money. Its my retirement.. thats how you have to look at it..When the recession hit in 2008 most people didnt sell their IRS or 401k's, they just held and now its more than recovered..

So, everyone that is nervous out there, just hodl.. it will be okay..
