I almost forgot over the last couple of years just how nauseating bitcoin's price movements can be.
you'll be fine.Oh crappy-o, it looks like we're going down again
BTC didn't even rise enough to give me a proper dip on my favourite altcoin! I feel better if I can keep my liability split 50/50 between the two but after the events of the past few days I've spent heavily on Bitcoin and now I feel too one-sided and too vulnerable to Bitcoin's fluctuations. It only needed to rise a little bit more (and the alt dip a little bit more) for my buy order to go through on Polo, but now they've see-sawed the wrong way 


I understand that people do this, and it does lend a certain ability to profit and an additional level of complexity that can really cause you to lose money faster or gain less (but yeah of course I recognize that it can have big pay offs too).
In other words, you are really bringing additional gambling to bitcoin, and does not really seem to be a longer term plan.. with mere investing in bitcoin should be enough to get rich, no (or at least increase your value over time).
Oh it's long term alright, in fact I was buying up Dash for over a year before I bought any Bitcoin to keep. Let's say I'm hedging my bets as to which one is the better long-term investment.

It doesn't make me any less passionate about Bitcoin. It's just that I was passionate about Dash first and so far it's done me very proud

was the talk of bitcoin scalability problem a factor?
