If HODLing is not best strategy, then what is the best strategy then? For people who have HODL bitcoin since launch, nothing has beaten that strategy. Just imagine holding Bitcoin from beginning up to now. And I think…

Should we even be surprised anymore about this? It feels like this is just how things are now. We probably have to accept that most tech jobs will eventually be taken over by AI. Well, I still believe there are things…

There are still a lot of cheap electricity in Asian countries. This is easy to find. The price of mining machines is now reduced. Small-scale personal operations are still very profitable.

Have you been doing it your own way now?

The cost of buying cryptocurrency directly is too high, and the investment in mining is still much less than that of buying cryptocurrency directly. We have to control costs and risks

what makes you say that? China’s big mining operations have shut down, which has significantly lowered the overall network’s computing power, plus mining difficulty has also dropped. So right now, you can mine more…

Right now, what I sacrifice is that I do not really want to work, but I need to because I want to achieve financial freedom. That means I have to do something I do not like just to reach that goal. But of course, that…

Might be not related to crypto, but I am a bit curious on how would my web development go in Web 3.0 since pretty much the scope of it is the whole web. I heard that term already since 2018, and I am still surprised…

100% agree with you. If I had some merits I would give you some. I have a contact which is specialized in refurbished PSUs. He is telling me exactly the same as you every day. If I look his business, I go to the…

Both no. My trading depends on when I need money; I mean, I only trade Bitcoin when I need to convert it to fiat or other cryptocurrencies because I have to. But in natural trading, of course, both can't avoid following…

Which is going away (hopefully) very soon. No, he's quite correct here. If miners don't mine your txins, it causes no problems for anyone but you, hence if you can identify where the information is stored, you just…

The "fairly near future" I was referring to was not holding the blockchain on the majority of nodes that is fairly high on the to-do list. Also, pruning spent txouts on miners will probably be added soonish as well.…

If you read what sipa posted, its not just that it is "contrary to the wishes of the community" but also, it doesnt work. There is no guarantee that transactions wont be pruned from the blockchain in the future (in fact…

Yeah I agree, I mine BTC because of rentability. If BTC drops, I will keep my rigs powered off, and power on them when BTC will be higher. And your reasoning doesn't take in consideration solo miners : if you have…

I was also once an employee before I discovered Bitcointalk and the world of crypto, but that same discovery also led me down the path of gambling. So instead of improving my financial situation, things didn’t really…

Question is, are there people who actually believe this, or are there victims like they scam? If there are, I guess that is not their main goal. As someone who understands how monetization works on x.com, I think that…

Whenever I see posts like this, I can’t help but think, why didn’t I invest in these coins back then? I was already active in crypto during that time. Why didn’t I even consider holding just one of them? I really regret…

13,150 ACKs aren't a major problem because we have cross-chain atomic swaps. If you're going to hodl for 6+ months anyways, then why not collect some fees on top of that like a JoinMarket maker? 200 ACKs seems a little…

So, all the mines in places like Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Yunnan have been completely shut down. Right now, the overall computing power on the network has taken a big hit. There’s literally no more mining happening in…

I’m not sure if what the Philippines is doing is effective, especially when it comes to providing fuel subsidies to drivers such as delivery riders, tricycle drivers, taxi drivers, and other public drivers. Instead of…
