Glad to see some guys here getting involved, was thinking it was just a rag tag band of crypto geeks and secret drug dealers.
I heard about eth shortly after the ico and got in a couple of days after it was released to exchanges. I've jobbed around it but largely just held long.
I don't know if you've looked at the Poloniex troll box, it's probably the most educational and fascinating source of real time base level trading psychology I've ever seen. There's this whole invented vocabulary, pump, dump, rekt, a fascination with the 'entire' sum of the order book, whales, everything's either a bull or bear trap, dying or going to the moon.
It really is speculation at its base level, I'm pretty sure the vast number of the participants in that chat have little if any knowledge of price action or good experience in reading a chart. Everything is an extreme, a pullback in the 30 min chart is the 'death of eth', a pullback in the 4hr chart brings about fundamental discussions about the technology behind it and potential scams, relatively 'cerebral' discussions.
For me personally, it's been one of the most interesting learning experiences in my time trading. It's put to rest some of the more extreme parts of my trading psychology and alowed me to really look at those parts in a comedic light.
The troll box is a pantomime of the most amateur but genuine base trading psychologies I've seen. I've learnt so much.
It's awesome!
