Finally some good posts, much better than those OGs that are angry about the price movement but are too coward to admit it. This feels better.
So you realize you are coming off as a dick?
@cAPSLOCK - Maybe so, maybe not - but it's honestly spoken...
So, in my opinion, just because something is assumed to be true and someone is honest, does not mean that one shouldn't speak with kindness.
Just a moment ago, you were suggesting that some of us here have mental illness. Well, I can tell you something. What you're doing there is called binary thinking (it's okay to be a dick if I'm right), and it's a hallmark of many mental illnesses, actually. But I'm not assuming that you have any mental illness. I just am assuming that you're itchy for some reason around the people here. Maybe because they were fortunate enough to get in much earlier than you. And you're justifying poking at them over and over again because you think you're right. Again, probably not mental illness, just probably a lack of thinking very deeply.
I've not been around this thread as long as some of the people here.
But I have been around long enough to know many of the regulars here fairly well, actually. And I'm a very sensitive person. And I would vouch for the mental health of almost everyone here that is a regular.
Also, some of the people here that you are lambasting the most have been, in my view, some of the most accurate predictors of the direction of the market and have built themselves swimming pools for their family and things like that because of knowing when might be a good time to trade.
I've never really been much of a trader honestly, so I just pretty much hold what I have.
I think most people here have moments in their lives where they have felt stress. I watched a lot of people that I've come to love live through Bitcoin's rise to $20,000 and then a spectacular crash. And people who had just begun to realize life-changing money, then watched it evaporate in what seemed like moments.
That leaves scars on people and they don't want that to happen again. And since the time that I've been watching Bitcoin, (2011) the 210,000 block cycle theory has held pretty true. (though each cycle has been getting less volatile)
So, people here who have gotten quite good at being sensitive to when there are tops and bottoms are now saying that this could have been the top in a very bad bull market. And for some reason, you want to pick nits with them. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with them. In fact, that's why we're here, is to talk this kind of thing out about the price, about the amount of people on this side and that side buying and selling.
But you can do this without calling people crazy or looking down your nose at them for some reason that I have not been able to figure out yet honestly.
Actually, I disagree with the position that this bull run is over, although I'm kind of a permabull, and I'm wrong about as often as I am right because of it. I do not think we will see a gigantic pullback like we have in prior cycles. But I strive not to be a black and white thinker. I do think we may see a pullback. The adjective is important. In fact, I think we will see more and more pullbacks.
Finally, as to mental health, I happen to know a lot about it. I am, unfortunately, quite versed in what it means to have challenges in that area. So I might be a little sensitive when I see people start making baseless prejudiced statements about good people that I respect.
