    This is a great thread to understand the concept of Handicapping.

    Understand that Handicapping is a PROSPECTIVE venture. You're trying to forecast a future event, so there's always an element of uncertainty.

    Psychologists write about the Confirmation Bias. Even the most grounded person might see results and say "I knew it." No, that's just what the result was.

    Long-story short, Retrospective analysis is ez. All u have to do is look at the box-score. Prospective analysis is hard, b/c You Just Never Know.

    Damn biggie that's brutal..150×19K(2.85M). I'm definitely not in your league but I remember 3 years when I cashed out $10K in BTC when it was $1600. If I would've just left it sitting there that would've been a much needed $120K today.

    At the long end I'd agree to you and say one day Bitcoin could go to somewhere near zero just because there will be other cryptocurrencies, regulated and non-regulated ones, that will replace Bitcoin.

    Actually, an intelligent post. Go, pro, Lonnie!
