Quite an inspirational post; I like the way you think! That blood in the streets saying is one of my favorites about investing. Good words to live by. I have buy orders scattered all through the order book on Poloniex. I even have a couple placed near the absolute bottom of the book, because you just never know.
I've been accumulating REP as well, and was kicking myself the other day when those hackers or whoever sold & completely wiped out the order book. Just think of how happy some of those lowball buyers must have been. Sadly my lowest order was not low enough to really benefit much. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Now I'm prepared for anything. :-)
Thanks - great points:)
