Scootie would advise anything that puts him in the extreme minority of considered opinion. It gives him the sense of being elite. Everyone else can see that he’s an elite cretin.Originally posted by TheGreenBastard View PostHe's the quintessential fundamentalist trader. Aren't you a 100% technicals guy?

He's now betting against BTC.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostGold is an excellent hedge against inflation. It sucks against currency debasement, however. I don't know why it does not react more positively against money printing. Since 2012 when money printing went out of control Gold has only lost value.
I'm happy to wait until we're around the mean price of $600 before going in large with all my Bitcoin gains.Comment

No, for 2 reasons.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostHave you taken profits?
1) I don't think it's going to drop much. Possible correction, but not crash. I bought in at about 5400 so a long way to go before I need to sell to crystalise profit.
2) I'm in for the long haul. And by this I means years if not decades. These are my ISAs so I'll sit on these for 10+ years. In the long haul the FTSE will go back to 7000+ ... I can be patient as this is not money I expect to need until I'm in my 70'sI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man
