$78K never again.

The last time someone claimed “XX,XXX never again”… he lost 30,000 Sats…

just saying…

I would probably need closer to 100 to 1 to take the other side of that bet.. even though surely it is problematic for guys to be making proclamations with such high certainty.

i remember that it was my entry point too as i started at $10 went to ~$30 then down to ~$2. and it stayed low for a looong time as i recall. and i kept just kept mining even at a loss at times.. but interestingly thats where the bulk of my stash is from, those early mining days when only the dedicated kept running gears. obviously it paid of handsomely.

so tldr version: keep stacking

If you entry point was $10 then you must be a Bitcoin whale by now Wink

sure if i had never spent any. but the general rule the wife and i came up with was back in 2011 when mining 1/3 was to be for repayment of the mining card, 1/3 was to electric, and the last 1/3 was to be "saved."

however, i, like many other who mined cheap coins back in the day, sold a lot of those cheap coins back in the day,

so, whale? haha no. im more like plankton.

Even if you have 1/3rd of that saved till 2017, you have got good return.

On the side, if you have spent those savings even then it's good that you have enjoyed your hard work. Life is short and we must make full use of money for our comfort rather then saving everything for our older age.

Surely it is not good to probe guys too much in regards to particulars, unless there might be certain agendas that the guys might be pushing.. .. I mean to just presume that a forum member is a whale based on some of his posts can be problematic - even though surely, proudhon tends to deserve such probing.. It surely could be possible that vapourminer has more than 0.6303 cornz, yet at the same time, many of us will describe both real world and even hypothetical facts that may not even be completely based on real live people, but might relate to people we know, so we mix some of those details into descriptions that are described, including that I recall that he had discussed that mistakes were made and also he seems to sometimes be skimping on his ramen ingredients, even though I seem to recall that he might have been one of those guys putting shrimp in while other guys were barely able to upgrade to eggs (back when eggs were cheaper than shrimp).. and also including that he seems to be sleeping so much, too.. which probably means that he hardly is able to generate any money in the first place.. and he might be half dreaming in regards to any of his actual contents, anyhow..

Oh, and by the way, even if 1/3 saved ended up being a large amount, there are a lot of guys who spent a lot of their saved coins at various points along the way, and yeah it is not so easy to be spending coins when sleeping so much, but people do sometimes buy things and have living expenses too. .including that some folks might be spending extra to show that they have a new car in their parking lot every 2-3 years rather than being a wee bit ostentation.. don't you get that ostentatious feeling from vapourminer... when you really ponder over his inability to stick with eggs in his Ramen when everyone was doing eggs. . back in the days when eggs used to be great?

Even though sometimes like to present hypotheticals, I will say that I am not completely innocent when it comes to seemingly probing into the circumstances of other guys.

You have not learned your lesson about making absolute assertions? Hopefully, you get your lightning network wallet set up before your next bet.

JJG remember, "In gambling, winner is the one who knows when to stop".

Fair enough.

I might have a personality problem, since there are so many guys that say outrageous things in these here parts.

So after hitting almost $86K, some people took profits or did a bit of short term selling, and the price dropped quickly to around $78K, that drop was most likely a reactionary bit of nervous profit taking. Then, when the price began to pump around $78K, it served like a safety net — if the price maintains there after a sharp dip, it typically indicates there’s great support under it. Here, when the price returned to usually $84K, it proved the selling pressure was only short-term and buyers quickly stepped back.

You can have a lot of ideas about why the BTC price does x or y, yet I doubt too many of the longer term bitcoiners trying to play these kinds of waves - or even using technical analysis to try to increase their BTC stack size... but yeah, we are not completely free of traders, and they do pop in this thread from time to time and say that they are playing the waves.. which does not seem to pan out as well as either mostly preparing for UP or maybe trying to play the longer waves, such as the 4-year cycles, which is not so much a technical analysis kind of a call.. even though blow off tops can sometimes seem obvious, especially after they are over (like 6 to 9 months later, for example).

Football players and clubs are now increasingly interested in using cryptocurrency, to diversify their investment portfolios and explore new revenue sources. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are known to be the most popular digital currencies in the sector, making them an attractive option for the football industry due to their fast transaction capabilities, security and global acceptance.
Bitcoin has become particularly popular, with its limited supply and decentralized nature establishing it as a valuable asset. It is a highly liquid and efficient option for football players and clubs, making international transactions even easier.
BYDFi, a leading digital currency exchange platform, is providing football players and clubs with a secure and user-friendly environment for cryptocurrency trading and investment. This is creating a new financial opportunity for them, so that they can diversify and grow their investments through digital currencies.
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are opening up new horizons in the football sector, where transparency, security and speed play an important role. It is not only a profitable investment for football players and clubs, but also opens up a new horizon of possibilities.

I know a history.
Odell Beckham Jr. converted his $750,000 salary into Bitcoin through Block Inc.'s cash app in 2021, when he was a player for the Los Angeles Rams. Currently a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, Beckham made the move.

A lot of gobbledey-gook in your write-up .. to the extent that you wrote that with a lot of crypto and blockchain bullshit too.. whatever that is supposed to mean.

I just checked your post with Quillbot, and it said 100% likely to be AI..

Why you spouting out AI nonsense in this thread without saying that you are doing it?
