Rpietila seems a reputable in his views.
I think we all should read his writings, learn him, try to figure out his mood and based on this, sell or buy coins.
The price will go quite low if we can trust him - usually we can. He made his bearish call correctly last time while all were laughing at his face, spitting on him and considering him as slain of God, the man of sorrows, the friend of pains etc.

After all, he made his trades and tons of money. Now those of you who do not follow his paths right now will loose as the price eventually crashes.
He is making money so why shouldn't I do it with him? I hope you guys here are also in the same boat with me. It is not that difficult to turn from bull to bear. I did it after I found Rpietila did it also.  Cool

Sounds like legit advice.

I'd totally be down for some bitcoin tarding again, but I hodl because I'm trying to put myself in a good position to pay long term capital gains (best, reasonable, compliance case) without any possible complications and obligation by having any USD or BTC on foreign exchanges.  

Given the position I'm trying to get into for compliance, short term tarding would just be foolish.  Add to that that I think by the time I'm ready to liquidate a significant portion they'll be worth more than they are today, I'm hodling, hodling from bitcoin tarding.

If you're a US citizen and you're trading with more than $10k, and haven't considered the implications of foreign exchange and tax implications of realizing profit, etc, good luck.

I understand any gain on a trade in US tax law under $200 does not need to be reported. Is this why trading under 10k is a way to keep below that $200 limit. Or am I way off on this?

obama's dog is the only survivor because we was hanging out in the bunker when the comet hit, doggies around the world start trading doggy coins for goods and services.

If obama's dog is the only survivor, what other doggies can it trade with?

I think I'm learning I panic bought at 760 to average down rather than panic sodl.

That's how you do it! It was only $760 for a second at Coinbase and I pulled the trigger, but the price changed back up before I could confirm, so I canceled. Good call (so far). Just keep buying all the way down and sell incrementally on the way back up. Soaking up volatility can be profitable!

Yeah it's still rough that coin base takes a week and 1% per trade but they aren't an exchange so I've been transferring to stamp.
