0 - Just cashed out over 200 of them for a big pile of money, will buy again when the bubble pops.


You should have cashed out only half (to bet both that the bubble will crash, and that the price will continue to rise). That would have been obviously the best compromise and less stressful. Now you risk regretting it. Effectively you did the equivalent of picking B out of the following choices, and you are about to flip the coin...:

A. Flip a coin. Head you win $50k, tail you win $50k.

B. Flip a coin. Head you win $5k, tail you win $95k.


Yeah, I had done exactly that at 128-134. Then I put the other half in with a sell order if it hit 200, thinking it never would get that high. Imagine my surprise. I already regret it. I still think we're in a giant bubble, we have to be. The rise is crazy. But I am not an investor, I just thought Bitcoin was cool at the time, and got really lucky.
