RE: Bitcoin APOCALYPSE is upon us... /Cough - This is getting old year after year
Yes, GOLD was a massive barrier for people; I can only imagine. I'm really gutted I only invested in ALTS from October last year. Saying that, I have a GREAT position in ADA. Not as large as some of the whales, but if it hits £1 or £5, I'll be very happy with the return (not retirement money, but happy). My hopes in ten years time with it is £25, then I can retire at the right age, if not, I'm stuffed! I'm both pleased and deeply jealous that at least you got in on the action along the way! Being late the show is annoying, but I'm a believer that this is the future. I'm not in the camp of £1m per bitcoin, but I can see it being at higher levels than it has been. For me, XMAS 17 has been both exciting, frustrating and an Illusion. Due to the massive gains. I'm personally happy with the correction right now, as the markets are actually where I predicted them 4 months ago. If I were a day trader, I would have made a fortune, but I'm not. A long term investor! Great to speak to you and will follow your posts.
@sp33dy don't frer over the last few years brother you made the right decision when it mattered and that's all that counts!! I have been yelling about cryptos and Bitcoin since late 2012 all over my Facebook and Google Plus but nobody listened LOL... It's all right though, I really just posted that stuff back then for these days so people can be like oh yeah I remember when you were saying that... And I have had so many people come up to me in real life and tell me they wish they would have invested back when I was saying something. It has nothing to do with being right it has everything to do with sound money and the future of Finance. I am a huge advocate of sound money and that's where my beliefs come from. Nothing special about my belief system over anyone elses other than I was an early adopter. Now I will say that back before Bitcoin ever hit a 1 billion dollar market cap, like back when it was 700 million dollars for the longest time, the day that Bitcoin hit 1 billion dollars was a big day! We all held our breaths because we had no idea what was about to happen but we knew it was big! But never in my wildest dreams would I have forecast what it did this past December in just five short years. Bitcoin changed my life and all of my friends lives back in 2013 and we are slated to do it again this year! We don't have the best positions in the world but we definitely know how to grow a position at this point and the most important thing to remember at least in my advice is to keep your emotions at Bay because it will become a very very emotional experience if you let it. Once you start trading mid six figures, everything you do will give you indigestion, just going to sleep at night will cause you stress LOL... I'm hoping those days are behind me but I also hope that those trading days are in front of me as well :-). You know what I mean! Love your position you currently have, I definitely think it's realistic where you are aiming and while it might not be that final payoff you're looking for, there are lots of ways you can grow your position to get that final retirement style pay off! So glad you're following my posts, I love to be a part of the Kindred mindset that is cryptocurrencies. I have a little surprise for you, I'm going to write a post specifically for you right after I'm done commenting on these comments. I think you'll find it useful, I want to post something simple so that other people can understand but also something you could really benefit from! See, how I look at my hand today is very different than how I looked at it back in 2012, I'm hoping that in this blog I write in just a hour or so will help you out because it's definitely giving me a ton of motivation to move forward this year with whatever investment I can come up with! Give it a look in a couple hours and let me know what you think :-), I'm writing it specifically for you, I wasn't going to share it with anyone but hearing you say that you might not have the retirement position you're looking for makes me feel bad because you don't even realize it but you just having a position at all means you are possibly holding on to more than you even realize! So keep an eye out in the next hour or two, I just have to finish driving to my destination and I'll post a little article that might give you some good feelings about this year! Pleasure speaking with you brother
