The fun factor is dwindling. I can safely say crypto burnt me out just a bit. Piles of hw that I should sell but lack the motivation to do so. I learned a ton of valuable lessons about people and life thru this experience. Thats what I will take away from all this. My time is never wasted if I learned something. Yea some lessons werent to my favor but such is life. Its been real!

Well, I was going to say wait until the next capitulation cycle but I see you are a member here since May 2014 so... I can only surmise that you just in a bit of a funk and will snap out of it. Maybe it's just fine to have a lack of motivation for now and then realize how lucky you are to have all that hardware on standby when the price of coin-x moons and makes so much envy in those that don't have hardware Cool

Thats the problem. Its just entirely too risky now. (Ive already been stuck with a 5k mo power bill last capitulation one would think I would have learned. So this time shame on me) Im in the process of pictures and inventory atm. I didnt make the move to a data center in the heart of sticking to what I thought made this all great. A decentralized censorship resistant ledger. What we have is exactly the opposite. With enough money and marketing ones mind can be changed to do dubious things. Look at all the forks/altcoins. One doesnt have to take to far a step back to see that in everyday life. Greed is not a virtue by which to build a system upon. Only bad things can come of that. Sadly I had to learn the hard way. Had power costs been equal across the world or no advantage can be had owning your own nuclear plant or being able to produce miners or solar panels then maybe just maybe this crypto thing would have worked. But thats not the case. With unequal resources we have centralization. Cant stop that its inherent in nature. Follow the water so to speak. Well the water is flowing in my little town and now I must focus on building that up. My biggest fault is I want to see good things for others as well as me. I find I put others first and most times I do the suffering. It is what it is. Just who I am. Am I super disappointed this wont ever be more than a ponzi. Yes undoubtedly yes!

Very well said. It is a truism but greed combined with psychopathic personalities can kill any great idea. People cannot stay naive and idealistic for ever
