The altseason is quietly starting. It will take some time before it reaches to the absolute apex but if nothing too drastical happens we should be in for an awesome ride.

I don't think it will kill Ethereum, it just becomes another possibility to run transactions on.
It will become a competitor but it will not kill Ethereum.

People are greedy and basically always up for easy money. This is the same thing that happened in 2017 when every crypto started to pull heavy profits.
People from various places and occupations started to ask how to get into cryptos.

One of my homes has 10kw solar capability and the maximum power that the home uses is around 3kw (usually 1kw) at a time.

Now, thanks to living in Northern-Europe, the panels give meaningful energy only during spring to early autumn. But any energy not used (approximately 8-9kw) is "sold back" to the grid.

Because I have a high energy surplus it basically means that I use solar from spring to autumn and from autumn to spring I don't have to pay for any electricity (I'm using the surplus that I "sold" back to grid). Also, the government pays you for providing renewable energy (around 0.013eur/kWh).

So yeah, when you already have solar capability, mining using it could be done.

It's good to see Ethereum climbing like this. It all points to the direction that altseason is soon starting.

Now "why is Ethereum climbing when it's so expensive to use?" - it's expensive to use thanks to the fact that a lot of people are interested. Just the normal way of things happening.

Personally my favorite fiat to crypto gateway is Bitstamp. Their webpage is easy to navigate and looks simple and minimalistic.

Also, CoinMetro is pretty good. They have instant SEPA payment (if you libe inside the EU) receiving capability, so you don't have to use your credit/debit card for buying.

It depends if you want to ise brand new or second hand GPUs in your rig. Personally, when I was mining some years ago, I only bought used GPUs. They were cheaper and pretty easy to find.

Also, I have never came across a GPU that has broken down thanks to mining. I know that they exist but you shouldn't be afraid to use cards that have mined before.

A coin that I found interesting is Rubic (RBC). Bought it when it was trading under 0.01usd and it has done pretty nice upwards push.

The thing is that only 120mil will be in circulation and as of now it's sub 5mil marketcap. The token itself is needed for the exchange to run.

The roadmap they have is amazing and the team is really active.
Also, there have been talks about implementing staking when more wallets hold it.

When the market turns green and Bitcoin starts goimg sideways (not rising too fast, not falling) then you now that alts will have some nice gains incoming.

If the cable melted you should really take a second look at this. Melting cables = overload. Always try to use 6 pin cables when connecting risers to PSU. MOLEX is so-so and avoid SATA cables at all cost.

If the altseason really begins and people get interested in alts again, then there aren't too many coins that WON'T get pumped.
As of now I think RBC (Rubic) is an interesting buy.

GPUs last really good when they are used for mining. Mining BIOSes often undervolt/underclock a GPU that it runs actually more stable and doesn't have nasty peaks in power consumption.

All of the GPUs that I have received for repairing have broken down during gaming or by physical damage.

Nobody really knows what is a sure investment that absolutely would yield its holder profit. When a bullrun indeed happens, there are more coins that bring you profit then there are coins that lose their value.

Nah, for Ethereum I don't really think so. There is just too much of it in existence to probably climb so high. Bitcoin on the other hand has a possibility to go there.

I still don't get why would anyone hold their coins in a wallet that allows a finite attempts to log in.
Just keep your secret phrases and the fact you are playing around in the crypto field a secret.

The fees you are paying are directly proportional to the people who are using the network and sending their transactions at the same time as you are.

Ethereum network doesn't really scale too good and that's why you have to pay high fees to get your transaction through. Many people are fighting for few spaces.

Do you mean boost like in daytrading? When you have no previous experience in trading daily or even multiple times a day you are probably going to lose you money fast.

The safest way to get the most out of your investments in crypto is just to hold. Chasing pumps ends I'd say 95% of times in less money than you started with.

Selling them all at once would result in a strong drop in price so when you want to get the most out of your coins, then this is not the best method.
Would be awesome to see drop in price though .
Probably you would want to send an exchange(s) a notification what you are about to bring upon them. You would probably cause a liquidity crises for some time when unloading that bag.


But yeah, dreaming is great.

When it is already dumping and you are holding then just ride the wave. When you feel like you indeed need the money or cannot afford to lose what you already have made then just go into some stablecoin (preferably not Tether atm).
Being emotionless with your investments is the best practice.

Ethereum high price doesn't mean that its subsidiary ERC20 tokens should pump right away when ETH does.
Bitcoin->Eth->alts is the order (it's even like top 10->top 100->everything else).

Just give it time and let's see what will happen.
