Vision Thing User ID: 80887835 United States 10/12/2021 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well again congrats on retirement and congrats on what you achieved! I wouldn't be willing to throw in the towel on ERC20 just yet, I think I'd wait and see what happens in the next few months. Lots to be told in the story yet. Quoting: Luminous Epinoia Thanks Luminous, I am going to leave everything as it is for the time being. Not much to be done with it anyway, it's just seeds that are planted, they haven't even sprouted yet. As far as retirement, it's making me feel much better to say it that way, it makes me smile, I did quit my jobs, because my workplace had morphed into something intolerable, after having been a great place to work for a decade. It turned into an example of "Everything Woke Turns to Sh*t" and I couldn't handle the cognitive dissonance any longer. Being around 2 + 2 = 5 all day was exhausting. I'll be okay til March 1st without touching the crypto, and I'm thinking that some time between now and then I'll be able to take some profits, 10% or 20% of an increased portfolio. That's the plan anyway and then hunker down and see what happens. Thanks so much for keeping this thread going in style. I don't contribute as much as I should but I read everything here. |

Good for you, working in negative environments can have detrimental effects on every layer of your health. Exhaustion is only one layer of it. People put themselves through hell for a dollar. You're way better taking the path you have. People and jobs don't change so you have to be the one willing to change. The second a job makes me miserable it's time to leave. Life is already trying to beat you down at every angle, it's our responsibility to flip it and be happy. If you can hold out until March 1st, my feeling, not financial advice of course, is that taking out 10-20% won't be a problem as that should be a very interesting time in the markets development. Thank you for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated (: |

Thank you for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated (: Yes I referred to the work situation as "medical level stress". It could only go on for so long. Such a shame too because it was the ideal job for a long time. Everyone has lost their minds! You were saying the minute things get bad it's time to go. I have found that if you really want to quit a job, and you stay, things will go wrong, like the energy gets expressed in your life different ways, almost like a poltergeist type of energy. Also if you really want to quit a job, but you stay, you run the risk of being fired. Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm not too worried. I'm kind of old, and I've quit jobs before, in worse financial circumstances than I'm in now, so I know from experience that things always work out okay in the end, one way or the other. And I have wanted to make some big changes in my life for a few years now, and how can you make big changes if you keep doing the same things? Going to work at that job started to make me feel like I was physically stuck in the past, while my mind was moving ahead into the future. Last Edited by Vision Thing on 10/12/2021 11:35 AM |

Part of it is self induced as your feelings for your job and what it's doing to you manifest inside of you. It's like its own force and it grows and grows the same way a baby can impact your life in every way possible. If you don't remedy the situation it can become seemingly impossible to make it back. |

Yeah I've got a ways to go to recover from wearing myself out at that physical job, and a lot of recent unpleasant distraction that came with it. It was taking all my energy and I didn't have any left over for anything else. I'm too old for that :) Now I can take all that energy that was going into fighting that losing battle and put it into the directions that I really want to move in :) Thanks Luminous! |

nemo_solus User ID: 78394109 Lithuania 10/12/2021 07:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do know people short and long crypto but I'm not sure where. That's one part the crypto equation I didn't get much into because if you're wrong, you have the potential to be really wrong. My crypto plan has been a long one with a small amount of trading mixed in. It is not simple for US persons - usually, you will need to use a network service that makes you appear to be at an IP address other than in the USA (can't say the forbidden word). Can't speak to the other exchanges, but KuCoin has both traditional futures and margin as well as spot markets. In particular, on the spot market you can buy tokens that reduce the normal complexity of margin and short trades. Look for tokens with 3L and 3S on the end. For example BTC3L or ETH3S - BTC with 3X leverage in the Long direction or ETH with 3X leverage in the Short direction. They have many Alt coins such as XRP3L or XRP3S as well. I've been trading them both long and short for a few months now and although they do the job, I'll warn that they can very quickly get away from you in the wrong direction, so be very careful and use stops for loss prevention and other forms of risk management. They also don't track the main coin exactly either, so don't rely on only the main coin chart when trading the token. Also, the liquidity on these can often be low, so a good amount of slippage must also be expected when either entering or exiting. Finally, I know many here are not fans of Tether (I'm not, but am also pragmatic about the need to still use it) and unfortunately that is the trade pair all these tokens use, so bear that in mind as well. Hope that's helpful! Great post. Only thing I'll add is that in a situation like that, I would not oppose using Tether because the second Tether implodes they will implement a new trading pair. I know I post a good amount about Tether and the endless litany of problems they have. It's not because I like crapping on them so much but instead the fact that their magnificent crimes are so blatantly ridiculous that they are going down hard. Which means in the end BTC is going down hard. Anyone who's new to this needs to see how much shit BTC maxis are in. It might still go up short term but BTCs long term prognosis is utterly terrible. When the big firms are saying BTC is worthless you can bet they already know what has worth and what they're moving into. Thanks! Agreed about the BTC maxi position - even if they are right about the long term viability of BTC, there is so much going on in the space that there can't help but be more than one "winner". I'd also point out that in every other technological revolution, the idea or company that has ultimately done the best and been the most adopted and profitable has not been the first to the market space. Unfortunately, I'm not smart (or lucky) enough to know what sub-penny coin is going to do the next lambo moon shot. One the of reasons I trade more than "invest" is that I don't have any spare fiat to simply let sit and wait. Trading lets me increase the fiat (or Tether or other stable coin of your choice) that I can then use to make larger trades, building up as time goes on. It's a process that will take time and be mostly unexciting, but I'm confident that in a few years it will be successful. BTC is useful in that it has lots of liquidity and sufficient volatility to trade. Then, a small portion of the profits go into long term holds of good projects such as XRP when the right buying opportunity comes along, such as a major dip.
