Let's differentiate Bitcoin from all of crypto. The latter you ABSOLUTELY CAN print an endless supply. Bitcoin is finite and hardens in time.

Real wealth? Saving should be simpler to provide your future generations rather than being whittled away by outside intervention and/or debasement by governing and banking policies. Your time is at stake and stolen. I.E. At least in terms of finance, your existence is trivial and valueless to subsequent generations. Now, there could be argument whether those generations are deserving at all or will fall flat on their face from your gesture, but the option to preserve your contribution to society via a valuation should be present. Dying with your keys and leaving nothing to your family is also a sacrifice and gift to the rest of the world that you have available.

On a global scale, and as a sovereign state, why would I want your monopoly money for my commodities if at any time you can change the rules of the money on your board game and devalue what I received in return for real goods? Should you have the ability to bully the globe simply because you say you must accept your currency or else I'm looking at a retaliation of war?

Bitcoin fixes all of this.

Not sure if what you wrote was a philosophical economics dissertation preamble or based in reality?

Not sure it’s a use my currency or else well bomb you decision, but you do know a Number of countries have banned crypto and dozens if others implicitly banned it?  That’s what I’m referring to.

I guess if I wanted to preserve wealth, I’d look to assets and not some cash like whatever.  Especially not some fake money I’m worried about parking into a chrome book and transferring with pancake cum swaps and staking castle nut coins.

I like your passion though, good luck with BTC.

What asset is better to hold than the one that carries zero liability or maintenance and can move borders in your head?

Your property? Maintenance. Taxed. Taxes rise. Government can confiscate. Land can fall to external forces of seizure or demolition from war, weather, etc. Your rental properties? Same. Plus government can say you can no longer collect rent for the betterment of your tenants. Stocks? Can be debased by adding shares. At the mercy of hopeful honest and ethical business practice by the CEO and board.  Fiat currency? Debasement with money printing and inflation tax with the politicians poorly incentivized to print more and take advantage with insider knowledge. A literal Ponzi. Bonds? Ha!  Gold/ precious metals?  Proven to be a pretty horrible hedge in wake of inflation. Good in industrial use only. And manipulated as such.

So. Where's the better asset in the long given all of the parameters we've witnessed unfold over the last two years?

We are certainly moving into a DIGITAL AGE. Fiat currency is a failed experiment and a real human need and problem to overcome is the discovery of BETTER MONEY for ALL that are currently outside and unable to participate in our current system. And that exclusion is by DESIGN!

Personally, being a refugee with a pile of digital assets and no hard assets or a place to call isn’t a good trade.

Also, you’re naive to think governments won’t eventually track, monitor or tax crypto.  It’s not going to be the romantic panacea you think it will be.

Again, Wealth is not determined by numbers in accounts. It exists at the protection of laws and ultimately violent force.  That will never change, it’s a universal law.  Even rich Mexicans are at the mercy of the cartels.

I'd rather be a refugee arriving with something than having had to give up everything and arrive with absolutely NOTHING.

It's already being taxed here. You can track it through the public ledger itself. There are places in the world that will become much more attractive and productive by not taxing Bitcoin. And that too is happening.

You do you. It isn't the insurance vessel for everyone at this time. I can respect your opinions and why you have them all the same.

I'm more optimistic. The world isn't ending. It will carry on. There will be abundance for some. And hardship for others. Same as it ever was. Choose to be a victim and that's what you'll become. Best to simply prepare yourself mentally and physically for as many scenarios as possible. Typically, the light will eventually outshine darkness. Everyone should find their light to better guide them.

The 5% of the world that makes it does so because they do not conform and do not follow the group. If you conform the odds will be 95:5 against you that you'll miss the boat, too.  If you conform, you haven't a chance.

Every tomorrow should be a vision of HOPE.

I don’t think we’ll see any meaningful movement in the up direction while the stock market is still in shambles. I think there is still plenty of financial chaos on the table.

Still watching alts slowly bleed to death and stacking cash to buy when time is right.

ETA: Those who have been into SOL for a minute, have they ironed out the issues they had that caused them to, iirc, halt on chain transactions a while back? I’ve been keeping an eye on it since before ATH and I’m kind of impressed with how its held up so far. Also seen some NFT projects built on it that have done well and think there will be more in the future. Thinking about filling a bag and holding for the long haul.

I think SOL has potential. Transactions are pretty quick and damn near free, which makes it enticing to the GameFi community. It does have drawbacks though, being fairly centralized chief among them.

There's a project called Star Atlas being built in UE5 that already has its NFT portion running on it.  The preview content they've put out for it is gorgeous.

Another called The Harvest is in an older Unreal Engine and will have some stuff tokenized on Solana as well. Gameplay for it is actually quite fun, although it's not even to the alpha stage yet.

Just add the address to the whitelist. After that it's just an SMS verification, unless you're generating a fresh address for every transaction, which coming off an exchange I don't really see the point.

Does their non-custodial wallet sidestep all that (CDC's does for many assets)?  If so, that might be a workaround, using it as a go-between.

It had 2 of them in pretty rapid succession but the devs have since decreased the DAG size so it would be far harder to get the necessary hash power to do another 51% attack.

Don't worry. If its price ever makes any form of recovery it will happen again... and again... and again...

It would be significantly harder for another 51% attack to happen given the DAG change and the amount of new/recent hashpower pointed at ETC.  Lots of people have already switched to mining ETC to get ahead of the curve before the ETH changeover to POS.  It looks like more switch over every day.

EDIT:  ETC current hash rate is over 23 Th.

Moved everything to a wallet. I took everything off Celsius and the exchanges, but I also want the pesky $0.0001 rewards to stop because of the tiny fraction that got left behind during the transfers. They can keep it.

I mean, we're due for something upward of the 28-31k window it's been in for the last couple weeks. Im not so sure we dont see a big selloff back into the 20's if that happens IMO.

I think we have a lot more pain to endure in just about every financial market for a while. I dont think BTC/crypto is going to be the exception to that. But Im just a dummy on the internet so I have no idea whats going to happen.

There's a project called Star Atlas being built in UE5 that already has its NFT portion running on it.  The preview content they've put out for it is gorgeous.

Another called The Harvest is in an older Unreal Engine and will have some stuff tokenized on Solana as well. Gameplay for it is actually quite fun, although it's not even to the alpha stage yet.

Any SOL nft projects that you like? Links?

Take note FTX users.

1 Billion $ from Sam Bankman Fried to stop Trump in 2024

The FTX CEO, who backed Joe Biden during the 2020 race, predicted he'll spend more than $100 million ahead of 2024's battle, but told The Pushkin Industries podcast.

Bankman-Fried, who has been propelled up the rich list in recent years, was one of Biden's biggest donors last time around — rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bloomberg and Alphabet.

It can't even hold 30. Just my guess, I think we see 23-24k.

Have you taken a look around Clown world lately?

China, the blueprint for the rest of the world...Fun starts at 8:47...

1M Chinese customers unable to access bank deposits; Airbnb to close its domestic business in China


I'll take my chances with Bitcoin over banks.  More sound in the long run.  My .02 and folly no doubt.

Also have this on the horizon...

Pretty good interview with an electrical grid power broker on how mining is actually good for the electrical generation business.  The reasons are not what you would assume.  Podcast is available in audio also.

Oh, thanks to @Jagrmaister for preaching lolli so many times.  I finally had the opportunity to use it and for a big ticket item too!  Getting ~$100 in BTC back takes the sting out a bit (especially at these prices ).  

Rock on brother.

*edit* I used your referral link when I signed up, but that was so long ago I don't know if you'll see any BTC from it.

Thursday morning dumpage. ETH and ALTs getting slammed.

BTC dominance growing fast, as expected. Sucks for us ETH miners waiting to time our routine ETH -> BTC conversions!

All good! Maybe you were my referral from a bit back then!  It is just another means to DCA for any long-termers and I prefer the Bitcoin gamble to stack vs a 1 or 2% reward in cash from Rakuten! Glad you got a fat stack out of it!
