honestly I'm so happy, This culling will remove the newfags, and maybe if I'm really lucky bump us all the way down to a pre 2017 phase. I've cashed out more than I've put in anyway, and it'd literally have to fall 99 percent for what I have left to ever go below what I put in anyway.

Truly fascinating feels. I think it reminds us why our positions have value - we are the people who hold on and have faith in the technology, in the future of this market. Emotional ""traders"" have no place in our INTJ paradise.

>>6520537

I think once you've been in long enough you sort of avoid the possibility of ever going truly into the red. At this point the market could drop 90% and I'd still be ahead.

Keep those Zen hands - that's how you become a multi-millionaire in this game.

This is good to keep in mind as well. It is a real "culling" almost like trimming the leaves of a bonzai tree. They throw their foolish money into "projects" like Tron, they lose their money, the machine grinds them up for the system, and only those who know the real value of the code stay true to it.

We do not find the need to communicate instantly via something like discord.

Our kind find solace in the abstract, in books and music, in ideas, in thinking about the future. We meet up in the underworld in our dreams and occasionally post here on 4chan to remind our psychic brethren to find peace in a hectic world.

I always knew that I had the patience to make it big in crypto. I watched the market for years, thinking, "if I was in on this, I would be one of the people who knows how to hold on through these rollercoasters for the bigger picture". I was right.

This is honestly way to much for me. I got in December 15th with WAY more money than I care to lose (will delay retirement by probably 5+ years if I lose it all).

I'm going to hold through the ICX news, hold through the VEN news, and then I'm taking whatever money I have left and getting the fuck out on March 1st. I went into it with dreams of becoming a millionaire this year, and thinking that even if I lose it all it will be worth the chance. Well, now that I am in the process of losing it all, my mind has changed completely. I am still up over $10K so I am hoping I can at least with some profits, but at my peak I was up $40k.

[Anonymous No.6521218]

>>6521123
Do you simply hold? Or acquire more?

[Anonymous No.6521250]

>>6521123
Thats simply because its not real money. It was the same case during the online Poker boom, where you could easily drop 5 or 6 digits on a single night, depending on your swings.

You have a good perspective on things, because its literally just playmoney. The only real money you have is the one cashed out.

This is the right attitude, been here and done this 5 times now. If you didn't pull out 5 figures, at least, from that massive bull stampede your doing this all wrong.

Good stuff. It goes without saying, but an easy way to feel /comfy/ is to hold /comfy/ coins.

I hold a large amount of ETH, XLM, STRAT, and XMR. All four are going up this year.

>>6521197
Stop investing in hype and actually do some reading and thinking about blockchain technology. Don't be scared away by the market, you knew it was "volatile" before you got in on it, right? You knew the people making money were the ones with iron hands, who held through massive "risk" seasons, and who had faith in the long-term, right?

I genuinely don't care if you sell off, I'm just inviting you to reconsider your very-short-sighted position.

I don't take pleasure in seeing people lose money or despair, but I feel that most of the people here on 4chan are weak and feed off despair and anger too much. When things like this happen, I see threads of some people finally coming together and I feel it can be a good thing. I hope it makes some people more understanding and mentally matured.

Read about blockchain technology and get excited. You're new so not yet accustomed to these dramatic swings.

The same volatility that got you your gains can also cause dramatic corrections but don't worry the market will get greedy again and things will start to pick up.

This. When you know what the technology means, as far as business adoption and further power to the individual (and by this I do not mean the potential to rise in class) you find comfort in the fact that loose hands will be shook. I hope there is a bear market through which I will accumulate currencies with major technological leaps. I want for the market to be left with only those who understand what technology means; a bear market would accomplish this. If hype rules the market technology will stagnate. Tron mooned. This shows how bad we need this.

Blockchain seems very useful and I certainly feel it will become a part of everyday life within the next decade or so, but even Amazon/Microsoft crashed during the dot com burst. Bill Gates used to be worth over $100B, but has never reached that level of wealth since the crash. Now tech stocks are still basically the fastest growing sector and a great long-term investment. I figure I can take my quick gains and get out, hold some comfy stocks for what could be a few years before the big one happens, and then start investing in the survivors.

[Anonymous No.6521948]

Yeah feeling comfy desu despite being all in alts that are getting rekt. I've lost 500k in a week but I'm still up 20x from my initial investment and expect moonings within the month so I'm just enjoying the show. Market crashes are metal af.

[Anonymous No.6522233]

>>6521902
there almost an unlimited supply of dumb money, and of newfags. Maybe 1% of people who can be convinced to buy crypto bought at this last dumb stage of growth. When we dip back down now, things are gonna get a little leaner not everyone will make money buying everything, and in addition to people who see this as buy the dip, when the market starts moving again other dumb money and likely the same dumb money will just buy back in again.

The other big thing is that it feels way more fucking justified to see HUGE big multi-x gains come through after you remained faithful during times like this.

It vindicates our whole movement so much. This is why women aren't in on crypto. This is why the mainstream aren't in on crypto. This is why whoever the fuck isn't in on crypto isn't in on crypto.

Not a bad one, but if you have any spare income I would continue putting fresh money into the market (especially during flash deals like today). One coin is great when it has its own special bull run 10x or more, but I think it makes the whole thing more interesting to have a few on the go at any given time.

The same thing that happens every time.

A big "crash" occurs and scares people away, and then the market comes back stronger than ever before and catches a bunch of new money trying to get in on the wild ride to the top, only for the cycle to repeat over and over again like a giant pulsing cock ramming in and out at full speed.

Blockchain technology is going nowhere - this is already the future, the /only/ way to win this game is think further ahead than emotional money ever does.

This crash could last all month but I still wouldn't bother trying to "trade" around it because I know it will be back stronger than ever within weeks.
