One difference with my long texts and a text that is linked (meaning that someone else wrote the substance of the text) is that I am actively participating in these here parts, and so whatever gobble-dee-gook might end up coming out of my keyboard tends to either be my words, or I am showing the source of my words.. or I am posting some image, and I do not tend to provide sources for images (presuming that I got them from the interwebs) unless there were some kind of a potential ambiguity regarding whether I am claiming to have had created the picture or the meme.. then in those kinds of cases I might either explain or provide a source.

From my point of view, there are a lot of members who provide links and either fail/refuse to provide any explanation or they fail/refuse to provide any opinion on the topic that they had linked, and surely even from my own bias, I may well consider that older members are allowed a bit more lenience based on some of their past contributions to the thread.. but still sometimes those kinds of ongoing posts (that fail/refuse to contain explanations or opinions) are not really very substantively friendly, even if sometimes the underlying source/link might provide  a lot of good content.


There are always BTC HODLers and accumulators who sell way the fuck too much BTC too early, and sometimes they are more vocal about their selling on the way up than other times, so I would not try to ascribe too much measure of sentiment to the fact that we are not seeing large numbers of members posting about selling BTC at these prices.

Weak hands are always selling BTC, and they have their dumbass theories that seem to fail/refuse to actually consider BTC from a perspective other than various short-term possibilities of dollar profits.

We have witnessed those dynamics historically, and there is no reason to believe that those dynamics ever go away, except that the way that they affect people in terms of either selling BTC too much too soon, or even refusing to buy BTC because they are believing that they might be able to buy cheaper, it just rotates as to which members of the population are affected, and there are a lot of people in the world to keep coming into this new asset class (BTC) in which we still ONLY have around 1% of the population or fewer who actually hold some BTC and also appreciate what they are holding in enough of a way that they are adequately and sufficiently stocked up.

Maybe all BTC newbies have to go through various kinds of phases of within their BTC journey in terms of building their way to being more convicted about the fundamentals of bitcoin in terms of both buying some BTC and then accumulating to a sufficiently and adequate level in which they might actually both recognize that they are able to be advantaged by their BTC accumulation and also to materially realize profits from their BTC accumulation by sufficiently/adequately and aggressively (without too much) accumulating of BTC. and having enough of a long-term plan that they are realistically able to carry out within their own means and their own psychological and financial circumstances.

So one thing is accumulating BTC, and then another thing is getting into some kind of a stage in which BTC maintenance is present, so even if there are sales of BTC on the way up, there is also a kind of consciousness to never sell the whole stack, and the way that anyone manages their BTC stash is going to have a lot of variance too.. in terms of recognizing various levels of suitability in terms of how much BTC that they might want to shave off at various price points, on the way up, and to still have BTC that they are holding in case the BTC price goes up more.. and sure, I understand and appreciate that some people never do transition out of a gambler kind of mentality and many times they will end up fucking around with moving around too much of their BTC stash (and other assets too.. and some of those decisions/actions are not reversible - once the damage is done).


Case in point.

 





Thanks for your timely admission Philip.^**  

**Note: By the way, a bit of an irony too is that you (Philip) already admitted that historically you had problems with gambling, and it is a bit subliminal to for you to ongoingly be showing that you still have gambling ways that are embedded in your ways of describing your own ways of managing your finances and your financial practices, and surely you provide a sufficient enough amount of detail to be able to reveal those characteristics, but hey, whatever, you do uie-poo-ie... hahahahahaha... and if you do not really know what I mean, there is a kind of need for gamblers to try to time markets and to play all or nothing bullshit while maybe acting like they are not doing that, and you seem like you have an irresistible urge to play the market and then to want to be right about it.. and maybe even a kind of irresistible temptation to tell everyone that you were right about it.. but if you were to think about these matters for a while, there are aspect in which any of us do not have enough information to be making such absolute proclamations about what we would do, why we would do it or why an all or nothing play would become fruitful, if there are really any times that an all or nothing play is actually a wise idea.. even for an elderly buzzard like ur lil selfie.. (no homo)

the Sunday wall report


price consolidation continues

big week coming up

feeling a little bearish....biases in play perhaps

which is strange because i still feel like bitcoin is undervalued by at least an order of magnitude

shrug....is what it is

arguably one of humanities most important milestones might be achieved...or at least a solid foot might get in the door tomorrow with reusable rocketry and the Starship/Booster maiden flight attempt

some of you dont care...and i get that...really...its an abstract concept thats hard to wrap ones mind around...thinking dozens or thousands of years into a unknowable future

i think humanities future will happen in space...and i think bitcoins will also

so trim a bit of sail if one feels the need and ahead one third towards the stars

steady on

LOL, just poking fun at you, I could never put the effort you do into posts and I appreciate most of them and those I don't my scroll wheel works just fine.

I have tons to say but find it difficult to type out long winded posts and feel they really aren't appreciated anyway so there really is no desire to do so.

I try to put info here though that I feel the WO needs to know even if some of it you have to actually dig out yourself.

And yes low effort link dropping for informational purposes rather than merit whoring is a purview of us older members.

 edit: addendum  interchange Monty Python quotes with the "Freaks" tune in the addendum and sadly, I'm reminded of my high school years.

For humor sake, I did a substitute (or do we call it am alternative?) to the last line of your 5th...


hahahaha

It's funny that in your real life capture of this image, the warnings show the results of each direction - ie where the product (output) lands.


You must be new here, who. .....    Just for your edumacation, king daddy no does not do flat into the future... even though sometimes when we may well be able to look into the past charts and we are able to actually identify periods in which the price did not end up going either up or down.. relatively speaking.

Happy 10th Anniversary. Time is too fast!. I was not aware that I am one of the 100 top poster on this historical topic. It's a pleasure. I guess I need to come back here more often again.
