Well, in hindsight, $18k would have been a great time to get out.

You missed k__'s point which is that no matter what peak price you think was the best time to sell out, it has always been followed 2-3 years later by an even greater peak.

You have hindsight in the past but you are still lacking foresight into the future.

Because predicting the future based on the past has always worked well.

I'm not predicting the future. cwkoss is (by assuming Bitcoin will never surpass $20k)

Pure hodling means you never take profit. Ideally you sell high and rebuy low.

And will always work well!

Hume on induction in a nutshell.

Well if foresight were 20/20 we'd all be rich.

To be fair it was pretty obvious if you had been in the space for a while. When random people start texting you up asking how to buy XRP and telling you why LTC is better than BTC you know it's a bubble and know it's time to get out.

Look at Charlie Lee for example. Everyone blames him for dumping his LTC at $200 or whatever it was but frankly it was extremely obvious that it was a bubble and a smart decision.
