warpig Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I've got £5K sat on the sidelines to buy BTC... Just waiting for the right moment. It's interesting how the moon cycles (circles below) coincide with peaks/troughs. It's nothing to rely on in isolation... but an amusing indicator that seems to hold true so far. Maybe around 19th March would be a good time to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myself and @markyh strongly advised you to enter immediately at $17,000 but you were not interested. Something about if it does not drop to $14,000 it does not conform to normal tea-leaf reading or some such gibberish you mouthed off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday we've had Tether and now today we are back to the environment. Some of you salty characters are insufferable. Don't like Bitcoin? Then stay away from the thread and let your fund managers indirectly expose you to it for us. Win win. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiltedjen Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 The funny thing is the no-coiners will still have some exposure via pensions if they like it or not. Going to be very very hard for the salty no-coiners to prevent their hard earned funds ending up in Bitcoin. We said ages ago one day they will be forced to, and that day seems to be coming a lot earlier than expected Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe around 19th March would be a good time to buy. I seriously don't get it, We told you to buy way under $20k , around $17-$18k , you insisted on waiting for a pull back to $14k we said would never come. $20k broke, we told you that's it, it's off never to come back, i told you i had bought $2k's worth for my wife @ $22k Xmas eve. Still fighting us. And we were right, no charts needed. Now you want to wait for a possible pullback to $44k. I just dont understand how some peoples brains are wired. Peeps like @Buffer Bear who get to the party late but take advice for "experts" and buy straight away i understand, but you have been fighting and argueing for gold, BTC to zero, etc etc all through 2020 and four figure BTC. Now it's over 1/2 way to six figures you want a position? Your problem must be pride? To proud to to think you know best via charts and you must "catch" pullback you know is coming, which most likely wont. We had a 30% pullback a few weeks ago from $42k to $29k , which we also told you would happen. Why not buy then? Or had you not yet "seen" that in the charts before hand. Good luck, but you are silly not listening to old hands on here, we have been here and done this 3-4 times. History is repeating, 2021 bull cycle (which we also told everyone since 2018 would happen too!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and he had the gall to scoff at my DCA + HODL = FTW advice that I was imparting from my experience to others like @Buffer Bear. If Bitcoin doesn't conform to his normal tea-leaf charting then he was not interested. Now he's put aside £5K to enter at $50K. You couldn't make this stuff up. 😂 If you squint your eyes closely you can see him in the rigth image at the back of this queue: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They'd rather hold on to their tiny piece of nothing than "risk" it on a likely life-changing opportunity. Or if they can possibly get past that block, they'd panic sell at the slightest dip.

Frugal Git Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 2 hours ago, warpig said: I've got £5K sat on the sidelines to buy BTC... Just waiting for the right moment. This is genuinely the funniest thing I’ve ever read. £5k! You could have had nearly 1/2 a btc if you had done so in early November. You could have sold out the stake and be sitting on a free position of a 1/4 of a coin for life. Which would now be worth £9k, and you’ll have your precious 5k back to buy 3 oz of gold. By the time you capitulate when your Fibonacci retracements and candles all aligned to say buy buy buy you’ll probably get 1/10th of a coin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All those terrible bombs sitting in the fighter jets simply pouring out masses of CO2 constantly, how dare they! And if they move a bomb from one jet to another it uses even MORE energy!

jiltedjen Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Nothing worse than at every surge upwards everyone starts asking me if they should buy. These are the same people i told to buy the lows and they didn't. Human phycology is a strange thing. As soon as something is seen as expensive everyone wants it, yet when its cheap they don't care at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's an interesting point though: the moment a bomb is used, you've got the sum total of: carbon cost making the bomb + carbon cost of infrastructure destroyed + carbon cost of reconstruction + carbon cost of political hot air Quote Link to post Share on other sites
