gasoline sucks as it does not store well if I had my way you would see almost no gas.

I think this depends on the gas. I had ethanol-free gas I kept in my basement for 5 years and it ran like fresh when I dug it out. I've also had ethanol gas that was unusable after a season.

The blockchain grows about 50G per year, so you're good for another 10 years. 1T sounds like the right choice.

I agree. SSDs have a sweet spot and 1T is about where it is right now unless you have specific needs. I've never found upgrading to be much of a pain, particularly for data drives. In fact, keeping system drives as small as possible helps keep upgrades snappy.

$50K is being such a tease right now.

Keeping me from my comfy bed...

Re: Propane vs gas. You need 1.38 times as much propane as gasoline for the same energy by volume (assuming liquid propane) and for 20lbs of propane, the container weighs about as much as the fuel it contains

Why does the ethanol mix not store well?
Pure petrol stores well, as you said, I have also used really old petrol from 20 liter cans I had stored in my garage.
And ethanol also stores well, I have 40 year old vodka that still works fine. So why does the mix not age well?

I would venture to guess that there is a difference between you drinking your 40 year old vodka and you burning it. #justsaying

stop teasing us and give us a new ath, that up and down around 50k is unbearable

That's because we are badly accustomed to to the profitability of Bitcoin. Before it existed, such high returns could only be obtained with very high risk assets, so the potential profitability was coupled with a very high potential risk of losing your money, if not outright scams. To despair when the price of Bitcoin has "only" gone up 500% in the last year is very funny.

And it's happened to me too, eh, but if you think about it, it's a good laugh.

so you mean we are getting bored?

man never thought having 100s of percent profit year after year would ever be boring but i guess one does get used to it..

Exactamente, vapourminer..

I find it so damned difficult to get bored with this whole matter.. and for years I have been considering that 100s of percentage of profits would not be sustainable.. but it has been continuing to go on and on and on.. and I don't even have a problem with a leveling off of the UPpity slope at some point whether now or in the near future or whatever.. but it does what it does.. and if the slope doesn't want to level, it doesn't want to level.. who are we to say otherwise? Mere peons looking UPpity on a fairly regular basis, and maybe our necks are hurting a wee bit sometimes too in this whole process, no?
