I have stated numerous times I am in ICX for the long haul.

As is probably wise. Nothing wrong with that.

I am a seasoned investor unlike you seem to be and I understand no one can predict these things.

You're right, I'm not seasoned. I never made such a claim. I'm also not panicking because yes, I do understand how wildly these things swing. I knew that before I got in.

People like you that try to over analyze and get scared over every little thing

I'm a tad OCD. What do you want me to do? I own it.

Now I have to go sell some NVDA calls I bought yesterday during the down market for a simple 19.56% gain in less than 24 hours.

Well, you have fun with that. Happy for you. Just post the Lambo pics when you buy it. I'm genuinely interested to see the color you went with.

This isn't happening. As you said, I over-analyze. I'm not bailing based on that, though.

No Lambo but today will make my week.

Well done.

What (brokerage) are you trading through?

I only use it for options trading because TDA won't approve me for tier 3 for some reason. That screen shot is all call orders I'll sell today and tomorrow after earnings.

Haha, way beyond me. I wouldn't survive as a day-trader.

I have been "into crypto" for a whopping 3 weeks now. That means that I saw what was happening, and was interested enough to throw $1500 into ETH and BTC. That's more than some, less than most, but as much as I was comfortable losing.

What I think I'm learning is that no one knows anything at all. Whether it is here, Reddit, twitter, or some professional looking blog with graphs written by an Asian guy, all "predictions" are just wild guesses tainted by the holdings of whoever makes them. You can pick any coin, and if you look long enough, you'll find someone who will tell you it's going to take off. Google ETH/BTC/ICX price prediction 2018 and you'll get everything you need to feel good about your holdings. The posts/pages/tweets that have the most promising outlook are shared and upvoted the most because that's what people want to hear. People then take this confirmation bias and call it "doing your research."

All of this is fine by my, by the way. It is what it is. We are seeing the good and bad of a truly free market. I do think there's money to be made, but if we are all being honest, no one really knows how to make it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you or themselves.

TL;DR we are all playing roulette.

Well said.

Emotions seem to be running high.
Relax folks.

My point is I don't think anyone is "triggered" by your posts. Many here surmised the events were already priced in. Many also have stated they like ICX longterm, so a dip is not really a big deal.

I'm sure some folks who simply decide based on OWS posts are probably deflated, but most active posters in this thread would probably sway people away from that strategy.

Don't tell him I said this, but if I'm digging into the research/starting a position on a coin based on a poster's recommendation here, it's usually going to be Stout, since he's a thoughtful investor and seemingly realistic and pragmatic.

More great news out of VEN with a real workable product and actual marketing...

The "issue" some people have with OWS beyond the crazy predictions is that he's doing some of the same things people (including himself) were complaining about prior to Chicken's intervention.
But my guess is that he's probably just trolling

quote:

---

I think he's still within the new bounds, since he's at least providing content on updates and news, rather than just straight pump n' dump tomfoolery. Unless he's a dedicated troll, I think he's a true believer in the coins he posts about. Just wildly unrealistic in his monetary predictions

---

I don’t mind it, as long as you know what you’re looking at. Fiat price predictions are a fools errand and it’s just as ridiculous to call someone out on a message board prediction as it is to actually make them.

The tweets/pics/hype he posts are more relevant to the overall discussion than the dick measuring contest in here this morning, complete with non-crypto account screenshots. Different people get off on different things, I guess.

I believe the core coins are in a position for February success. Alts are schizophrenic but WTC & VEN remain my favorite in that space at this time.
