It's 2017 all over again people, just stay calm. Pumping alts after BTC flatlines/corrects is the easiest way to make BTC.

How I felt in 2017 vs. how I feel now.

It's 2017 winter all over again. Everyone seems to forget that BTC was already $17,000 before XRP made it out past $0.30.

Reminds me of early American history when almost every state had their own "dollar".

It's like that on every exchange at all times. Even Poloniex has a 800k XRP sell wall at 5k sats atm. Sure it's frustrating for holders but it just makes the inevitable pump that much more explosive. In 2017, XRP went 6 months between $0.20 - $0.29 and we know what happened after.

Reminds me of dec 2017 with all these low BTC valued alts. Wasn't until BTC started correcting downward that the alts started popping off.

It's important to remember that each coin takes turns with their respective pumps. While waiting for a good opportunity to buy back XRP, I was in HOT, STR, DOGE, IOST, ETH, XMR, ZEC, and a few others which all posted significant gains while XRP was falling from 11k sats. Now i feel is the time for XRP to do the same.

I haven't liked XRP vs BTC chart for past couple months so I stayed out but went back to mostly all-in at 7500sat before BTC went crazy. Reason being that $0.30 is a steal considering we were stuck between $0.20 - $0.29 for over half a year in 2017. Sure, BTC value may suffer short term but vs the dollar, it's a safe bet imo.

Any thoughts?

A hero on the front lines.

Tough to answer. I watched $850k slowly dwindle to fractions since then. While i still have faith in the company and it's native currency, there still exists a strong possibility that a single piece of news could send us back to where i first bought in at. Hell, we still don't know who Satoshi is and he alone could tack on another few years of depression for the whole market. I know that no matter what happens I'll still be able to look back at 2017 as one hell of a positive year for me. ETH bought my first house and XRP helped my sister buy her own. 2017 will forever be remembered as the year where money was plentiful as your account would casually double or more every couple months so long as you diversified well enough. To answer the OPs question, if i had a time machine and used it right now then, yes, i would sell based on my future selfs fears. $850k would be more than enough to help my mom retire and i could've invested a small portion into stocks or something else. That being said, i didn't sell and have spent these bear months learning to trade and taking advantage of the pumps. It's just a bit more unpredictable compared to the 6 months of bouncing between $0.20 and $0.30, talk about accumulation when you KNOW it's going back to $0.20 from $0.30 lol.

Have we any updates on the current holdings of the 4 accounts?
