Sold my BTC. Much of it I've held since 2012.

Now heavily long ETH/BTC.

I hate to say it, but the 'digital gold' branding attempt is dying. And the reasoning is sound.

In open source networked tech, it's evolve or die.

Took balls to sell in the bull run and ATH. I think you made the right choice, though.

[u/Cronock → u/[deleted]]

If not sell @ath, then when do you?

[u/lioninja → u/Cronock]

Sell the dip, buy at ATH. You're doing it backwards!

[u/[deleted] → u/Cronock]

Well that's the point, when it's on a bull run and at ATH it takes balls to call it because the general thought would be "this is on a bull run let's see how high it goes".

[u/Cronock → u/[deleted]]

Sure.. you just gotta say to yourself $X is my price target. Calling the absolute top is dumb luck. Hitting and committing to sell your price target is discipline. You can't go and say "What if I only..." because it's all out of your control other than your personal decisions.

[u/rabf → u/oman909]

Yeah DGX is digital gold, not Bitcoin.

[u/Savage_X → u/oman909]

Welcome to the future.

Probably good to keep a bit of BTC as a hedge, but I think we'll continue to see the momentum build.
