Its simple...if you're scared of breaking a nail or getting a broken nose don't get into a fight. If you're scared of losing a few hundred or a few thousand dollars or can't withstand those losses you have no business playing with bitcoin. This is not a game for those with weak stomachs, wallets and constitution...bitcoin is for those who can pick themselves up after getting knocked down and shake it off. If you are long on bitcoin and won't vomit if you get punched in the stomach then you have a chance. If you need to have you hands held while you dip your manicured toes in the water then this is not the place you should be. I am being serious when I say stay away from this game if you are barely surviving month  to month.

I've been playing this game for a long while now and have been through organ shattering crashes and blood hemorrhaging manipulations and I love every minute of it because I'm a masochist and I'm confident in bitcoin's fundamentals. It also helps that its been a very profitable sport for me (Aside from my regular income).

If you can't hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch...and this is friendly advice.
