RE: Bitcoin is headed to crazy highs and so are some altcoins.
volatility is great for trading, I welcome pull backs, specially fast ones like yesterday and today

Yes, volatility is great in trading, where you can Call as well as Put. However, if you are the owner of a Bitcoin and the value falls, then you have lost your money.
you only loose your money if you sell the bitcoin, hold it and wait, and only sell when it's at the top, when bitcoin goes to the top is when I like to take some profit
That is the argument people use when they buy houses too. The price is bound to go up. No, when the market drops, the money is lost to those who were hyping it as a sure thing.
Lmao what... If you bought Bitcoin at the previous all time high and held it you'd be in good shape now so Craig is exactly right
The argument that all you need do is wait for an opportunity to sell at a higher price implies that everyone everywhere is always going to make money matter what. It also presumes that prices will always rise. Fine, if you have got infinite time, and no better use for your money. Although Bitcoin as some history in that matter, it is unlikely to remain dominant, something will come along and wipe it out. True, Bitcoin is in a unique position at the moment, but it is easily substituted, and cannot continue to increase in value indefinitely.

I think the 100% opposite of what you think about bitcoin, balance is beautiful
Bitcoin only gets more scarce over time, and I am not presuming, I just know what BItcoin has done so far is within what I and Craig said about holding.
