sense, would you please just listen to yourself for just a moment!

Re <<I've been a skeptic of blockchain technology proving useful in application as currency... for a long time.>>

me too, and totally in agreement, because money should be money, and not a code. We are defenders of fuddy duddy dinosaurs and proud of it.

Re <<I do see lots of utility in the concept... including utility in some financial transactions>>

... yes, blockchain is a great idea, and useful for much across many sectors, real estate, resume, school record, medical record, art, chain of custody.

Re <<what you know or believe to be true, while having great confidence in your own ability in analysis... and what you believe others in the market are likely to believe... as (hopefully) those are often radically different things>>

absolutely, spot on, and thus NAK gaming.

Re <<I can't bring myself to buy bitcoin now... because I failed to buy it when I could, at prices well below a penny.>>

Understand. Whereas you, and I certainly did, buy gold at 250, 290, 350, ... 1900 ... 1400 ... 1900, and never sold. I look back and would happily do exactly same again every step of the way. But if I am allowed to improve on the gaming, I would be equally happy to do the improving.

I had a chance but did not get bitcoin at 1200 and at 2700, the time when I ordered my Trezor wallet and the time I received the backlogged Trezor wallet.

Used to debate context-less kibitzers w/r to crypto Message 31401472 instead of buying bitcoin by fidgeting

Re <<Of course... I'm still confident in my analysis... and might well be proven right in my expectations, in time.

But, meanwhile... my bank account is resentful of my self assurance.>>

I would like to avoid the outcome where several years from now we dialogue and I note,
"I could have bought bitcoin at 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, 26,000, ..." and my kids ask me, "Dada, you were there, but why did you not buy some bitcoin?"


and so, rather than being fuddy duddy, i say Message 32993870


perfectly reasonable and analytical, on something quite unfamiliar at least to me, and outrageous in the annals of mania and speculation
the issue is clearly [NOT] whether to be in or not, but how much?
if not now, when?


Tell me, going forward should you meet an attractive lady at some public venue, and she is a stranger to you, what do you intend to try to do?

If in doubt, or hesitating, try

"helloooo"
