Perhaps. It wasn't without its benefits. But when you've turned $1000 into $4.5 million, you think about it differently. I was consumed by an irrational fear that the price was going to fall out at any moment, which was driving me towards selling, but at the same time I was thinking, "what if the price just keeps going up? What if I'm ultimately screwing myself over by selling now?" I think the deciding factor was my immediate need for cash. I had seen significant profit, beyond my wildest expectations, and figured I had a good run and should just get out now. Money has a funny way of influencing your thoughts.

I hear you. Fear and greed simultaneously.
Good answer. I retract my accusative statement.
Naaa... It was a fair comment. It's a lot of money we're talking about. What's crazy is that I was in rough shape when I bought the bitcoin back in 2011. I was dealing with some medical issues, and I was living in a hotel. I had been saving for the up-front fees required to move into an apartment, and I made the impulsive decision to buy the bitcoin instead. It was a gamble, and it took me another 6mo to get an apartment and move out of that hotel, but it was ultimately a great decision tho I was regretful and ashamed at the time. It's crazy how life works out sometimes.
You sound like a Howard Hughes type.
Well, I'm not suffering from extreme OCD, and eccentricities. And my parents didn't leave me with a mountain of money. I'm just a guy who was struggling, but got back on my feet, and then got lucky on a chance I took 10 years ago. I could just as easily still be struggling.
Where do you guys get your nintendo wii/farmfrenzy profile pics?
Lol That's an AR Emoji from Samsung. The creator app is included with every Samsung phone. It produces an array of static images and profile pics, as well as little animated movies that feature your emoji dancing. My avatar is the AR Emoji pose I like best.
I was reffering to being sickly and living in a hotel room.
I suppose in that regard, I am a bit of a Howard Hughes type. But my medical issues were physical, not mental.
