So, I came across a blog last week claiming that the Bitcoin chart isn’t looking bearish. But honestly, it kinda looks like a double top setup on the higher timeframes. That’s pretty much what we saw before the drop in…

It's good to see that people are willing to take the fight to him. At the very least, it takes an amount of time which Faketoshi is unable to spend attacking others. The injunction sounds promising. Hope they get it.…

Game theory generally implies that if there is a way to profit from cheating a system, someone will inevitably attempt it. Better to make it as secure as possible and make cheating infeasible. Limit the temptation for…

I understand and accept the points about 3rd party firmwares being more closed than Bitmain's own, I have disregarded this. My comment for more openness was a general comment. I do understand Bitmain's approach and can…

Oh, I see, I didn't know that. Partly it is understandable from the point of view of the manufacturer, but on the other hand, they should do a much more flexible firmware. Generally I would be happy with a higher level…

Honestly, I didn't expect the Antminer S19 to lack performance tweaks like the S9 has, where you can adjust frequency/voltage for different performance levels. I'm particularly looking at running it with lower power. Is…

If you want to accumulate bitcoin then just buy it on a regular basis. If you want fun with mining as a hobby, look into solo or lotto mining.

Traders, have you ever noticed how bad news often lines up perfectly with chart movements? If you really pay attention, you’ll see that right before a significant drop, after days of selling, there’s usually some…

I've also heard often that frequent stops/starts are not good for the miner HW in the long term. Mostly due to the temperature changes between operating and rest state, thermal dilatation can eventually damage the…

Yes, a controlled plug is a good solution. A relatively old S9 is quite profitable with solar power, though amount generated is not so high. Just out of curiosity, how do you imagine controlling turining on/off the…

It's amazing we still have small miners being products to be honest. Hopefully they will continue to get excess ASIC chips in the future.

Ever notice how crypto pumps seem to happen in a predictable way? I’ve seen it break down into four distinct phases. First up is the Stealth Phase: think low trading volume and slow price changes while the insiders…

So, the SEC just dropped its lawsuit against Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao. This kinda came out of nowhere after almost two years of allegations against the exchange for breaching securities laws. Back in June…

This is absolutely one of the best news, indeed more adoption is coming for crypto. In the future I believe business will accept bitcoin and crypto as means of payment.

In the crypto game, bulls are making bank, and so are the bears. But the sheeple? They're the ones getting wrecked. So who exactly are the sheeple? They're the folks who have no clue what's going on in the market. They…

Faketoshi doesn't control most, if any, of the keys he's claiming he does. Idiot dug himself a hole and now looks even more foolish than he normally does. The courts can't do anything to Bitcoin itself, so it doesn't…

The monthly candle for BTC looks pretty solid, and we've got just 5 days left until the close. Bitcoin has broken through a key monthly resistance level. I really think this monthly candle is gonna finish in the green.…

The problem is that questionable characters won't just be trying to hack exchanges to steal the various coins anymore. They'll also be trying to hack in to steal potentially valuable personal details which could be used…

You are very correct. This king of mistake is very avoidable. I will make sure this doesn't repepat. Thanks

I find this comment very insightful and educative. I have learnt from this. Thank you
