    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    The fact that BTC dominance is still below 40% proves to me that people still expect alt coins to rally. There isn't a mass consolidation into BTC like previous bear markets. Then again, past performance doesn't indicate future results.

    To me, the best feature of Crypto over our current banking system is the 24/7 availability. Banks only work 8 hours a day Mon-Fri and are off for Holidays. This makes it difficult to get some transactions completed properly. Crypto gives the luxury of making transactions 24/7 and that comes in...

    I keep seeing stimulus check type stuff such as the child tax credit which a lot of people will support. Universal Basic Income seems almost acceptable in the U.S. Could it be ushered in and garnered by crypto? CTC (child tax credit coin) issued by the govt. that's tax exempt and can only be...

    Selling hash on one rig, mining Ethhash on another. Setting up another to try T-Rex. My goal is to try multiple platforms for about 3 months and compare. I want an ASIC but a lot of power consumption in those.

    You can run it however you want. Full control over everything. It's like a datacenter or IT server closet in a way. I can hop in my pc now and pause it/resume and no penalties. I'd just miss out on hashrate which == Bitcoin payments. As soon as you turn it back on; making money again - like a...

    Time in the market is better than timing the market. I was listening to a podcast with Elon Musk the other day and he 100% was yoloing into Tesla and then SpaceX. If you truly believe in a project or technology - Buy and hodl time. Warren Buffett famously stated that "diversification is...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    An Apple watch actually. I had a series 3, now a series 5 and they both are excellent. It helps me track my exercise, let's me set timers to remind myself of things, and even has a built in flashlight. Makes me feel like Batman. I can also track the weather, use meditation apps from it, and it...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Seems like low to no code advancements will speed the process of coding up considerably. It's like web development in the 90s vs today with Shopify or WordPress. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Thomas Edison; they're all marketers and salesmen that can dive deep if needed. It's like trying...

    Whats one thing you think or believe that most people on this forum would disagree with?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    You have to be a student before you can become a master. I've spent years working with/for people smarter, wiser, and better than me. I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror and wrote all the things I've mastered in life. To this day, it's still blank. Life is a journey and sometimes we can...

    Really nice work and excited for you. My first rig had a lot of hiccups and mistakes haha so much troubleshooting involved, which is good because "entry". Solar would be amazing, but it's hard to get your hands on. Definitely trying to get my rigs on solar but a lot of paperwork etc., so still...

    Crypto and NFT's are not for you.

    The technology is game changing. Web3, proof of work, proof of stake, proof of history; just these models alone are genius. Go and read the Bitcoin whitepaper -https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf. It's only 9 pages long and just by looking at the pictures, you will realize this is the way. The use...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I don't really see this ending well with the USD. Inflation "6.2%" right now a year, plus taxes. So sickening how our system works anyway... So if you make $100,000 in income a year, in the State of Tennessee in America, you'd end up with 22.7% tax rate: Total tax - $22,659 Net pay * $77,341...

    The Ultimate Checklist: A 99% Mindset VS a 1% Mindset

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    Money loses value and doesn't pay you, the goal is to put the money to work through assets and investments. Idle money will be wasted. It pays to be broke.

    The Ultimate Checklist: A 99% Mindset VS a 1% Mindset

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I've never thought of it like this. But it makes sense. A lot of products are simply replicas but with a few more improvements. Someone copied the Model-T and now down the line, we have Teslas. Thank you for the insights. Some of these are tough to swap from 99% to 1% but worth it.

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thank you, as I am a hardcore lurker. I disqualify myself from posting a lot of times. I've been meditating to get rid of the negative voice in my head and I finished the book "The Surrender Experiment" recommended by MJ, which taught me a lot about not forcing things and just letting them flow.
