I gambled with shitcoins and lost. Hold bitcoin

Hi everyone, I've recently messed up and had to get off my chest. During the bear run I hit the shitcoins and started seeing some big wins (rarely cashing out). This led to me swapping my bitcoin portfolio and through a series of bad trades watching it slowly bleed down..last night I couldn't take it anymore, I firmly believe had I held my shitcoins I would've made it back however it was the constant chart checking and stress I couldn't handle anymore.

It was gambling. Starting at green candles and freaking out at reds. Enough was enough last night when I was sat in the cinema unable to enjoy a film because if seen one of my coins not perform as well as it did the day prior. That was it for me. If I can't sit and enjoy a film (albeit it jungle cruise) then what's the point in chasing money.

I bought back into bitcoin with a 70% loss. Just a warning for anyone else, I know I'm preaching to the choir hear but there maybe someone in the same situation,. current glued to their phone screen chasing that x100

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?

BACKGROUND Segregated Witness (SegWit) was activated on the Bitcoin network August 24 2017 as a soft fork that is backward compatible with previous bitcoin transactions ( Understanding Segregated Witness ). Since that time wallets and exchanges have been slow to deploy SegWit, and the majority of users have not made the switch themselves. On Dec 18 2017 Subhan Nadeem has pointed out that: If every transaction in the Bitcoin network was a SegWit transaction today, blocks would contain up to 8,000 transactions, and the 138,000 unconfirmed transaction backlog would disappear instantly. Transaction fees would be almost non-existent once again . Mass SegWit use alone could empty the mempool, result in blocks that are not completely full, and make it possible to include transactions with $0 fee once again. On Jan 11 2018 when BTC sends went offline at Coinbase the mempool began to rapidly empty. Later in the day when service was restored there was a sharp spike up in the mempool . Subse...
