Didn’t realize there was so many of these Bitcoin movies out there.

I remember the first time that Bitcoin was mentioned on television was a show called The Good Wife. And this was very very early like 2012 or so. I am actually surprised they decided to use Bitcoin since it was so new. It probably brought fame due to that one episode.

Cloud mining has been a scam since 2014 or so. I am surprised it still exists with all the negative press it has gotten lately. But I am not surprised you got coned. They use good marketing basically saying “You get 100T forever” and in the fine print it says that it needs to make enough to cover the maintaince. Most don’t realize how quick an ASIC becomes obsolete.

Look at all those old ASICS which are basically scrap pretty much because they consume more power than they generate profit. ASICS have very quick turnover.

Nobody will know until he is elected and then we will see if he is pro Bitcoin or not. You need to understand that his campaign could of analyze voters and think they can buy more votes if he is pro Bitcoin and most candidates aren’t.

A lot of people hold Bitcoin in the USA and the way the regulations are going now will make them want to vote for someone who will make sure it stays unbanned. So it’s a smart way to get people to start voting.

However keep in mind that he might not even win the lead.

We have been hearing about this doom and gloom and nasty recession for almost 2 years now. However aside from housing which slightly corrected nothing has happened which was bad.

Employment is very strong
Inflation seems to be contained
The bank failures has stopped
Etc

Sure all indicators are pointing to a recession. However if everyone thinks there will be a recession, then will there be one? Usually a recession is quick and by surprise.
1345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Token/Coins pegged to real goods - Negative prices on: June 02, 2023, 03:31:24 AM
This thread reminds me when COVID caused the oil crash and prices turned negative. So they basically paid you to take the oil. A few traders became millionaires that day.

Why that happened was because the demand was so low due to COVID they had nowhere to store it. And hence why the front month only was negative, the other months were positive however.

Either way, such thing is no possible with crypto.
1346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New ethical memecoin; PEPA on: June 02, 2023, 03:26:40 AM
Yeah maybe if this was a different name, I would have hope but all of these projects which are named similar to Pepe like PEPE2 or PEPERONI or PEPA it’s obvious they want to pump because it shares a similar name. Basically a clone.

I would not be surprised if it was a rug token. Many are. Go to dextools and dex screener and you will be surprised how many tokens launch and then the Dev dumps all the coins.

Yes this has been happening for years even before Elon. Elon said he would fix it and maybe he tried something but a couple months later it’s the same scam spams going around.

I heard from tweet owners that they report those tweets and many times they don’t get removed or they get removed way too late.
1348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? on: June 01, 2023, 04:43:49 AM
The first stablecoin USDT was actually on the Bitcoin blockchain. It used the Omni network. And the reason why everyone stopped using it was because it just took way too long to wait for a confirmation. And the network fees were slightly larger than a regular Bitcoin transaction.

So this is nothing new and this new coin won’t become popular at all due to this. It takes way too long to confirm on the Bitcoin network and hence why nobody will use stablecoins on Bitcoin network.
1349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why did yall ever start using closed source miners? FRFR on: June 01, 2023, 04:39:22 AM
Because with certain Algos like Dagger Hashimoto or whatever that algo was called for ETH had a crappy build in miner called ethminer.

I used it in 2016, it basically made all my rigs freeze during the epoch change, there was also no monitoring, no dual mining, etc.

I rather pay claymore the 1% fee for the stability than deal with ethminer. Sure it was closed source but he had a reputation and they were all on rigs with no private keys or anything.


Still using Claymore? I thought the developer vanished from the earth.


No, nobody used claymore for like 5 years but the point I was trying to make was that at the time it was the best miner you could use.

He didn’t develop it for free and due to that he made to make it closed source to get the fee. If he made it open source, everybody would just move the fee to 0% and he wouldn’t make as much money.

None of his miners had viruses or malware. People used it for years and just trusted him. Plus like I said before. It was all on headless rigs with nothing installed except the miner software. Nothing to steal from those systems.
1350  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A opinion on regrets on: June 01, 2023, 04:36:10 AM
Even if you were around the new Bitcoin days you wouldn’t of held till now anyways. I was around since 2014 and if you told me that we would get $10000 Bitcoin I would of laughed at you. Back then price was $200 and the goal was maybe $1000 or $2000 Bitcoin.

So if you were around back then and invested at $200 you would of long sold before $69K. Most likely at $500 or $1000 or $2000. So don’t beat yourself up.
1351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Choosing a cryptocurrency pair on: June 01, 2023, 04:33:56 AM
The main ones are pretty much BTC and ETH. You can actually make good money day trading these all day and night. After that you got alts like XRP or BNB but these generally don’t have much moves every day.

They were around for years so they are good for long term trading but for some term day trades you might not find any worthwhile moves.
1352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Eth could perform better due to deflationary on: May 31, 2023, 04:30:33 AM
It is deflationary however the supply is still huge for ETH. The amount that gets burnt is very small compared to the total amount of ETH out there. And keep in mind that if the fees goes down then the ETH fees burnt also go down. There is no guarantee that the fees will always be high. Days like today they were low.

1354  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are your bitcoin May/June price analysis? on: May 31, 2023, 04:22:51 AM
There are a few events like the Hong Kong launch on June 1st, the unemployment numbers and the CPI and the fed rate.

Depending how the employment looks and how CPI performs we might have some volatility. Basically everyone is expecting softening of the employment and inflation. If they come in hot then we might be in for a ride.

I vote for a slightly bullish June however.
1355  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Lost it's Fervor for Percentage Gains? on: May 30, 2023, 04:34:59 AM
You won’t be a millionaire by buying 1 Bitcoin. That boat is long gone. The last time you could of invested a small amount and became a millionaire was in 2015 when it was $200. Even if you bought in 2019 at $4K, you would still need to own 15 BTC to hit the million mark in 2021-22 and those 15 bitcoins would cost you over $60K which is a lot of money.

Those who bought in the $30 range did very well if they didn’t sell. However most probably lost their coins or sold when it hit $100 or even $1000.
1356  Economy / Economics / Re: Fake support? on: May 30, 2023, 04:30:44 AM
I am seeing posts about how on June 1st, crypto will rally hard because everyone in Hong Kong will be buying it. However I don’t think this will happen.

Most likely people already own it. And those who don’t, probably won’t buy it on June 1st. So most likely it’s good long term but in the short term I don’t think it will have much of an impact.
1357  Economy / Economics / Re: Will chatgpt really destroy the job market? on: May 30, 2023, 04:28:07 AM
I think some jobs it will take away but it will be years before all the bugs and quirks are worked out. Right now you can’t completely rely on it without it being checked by a human.

Someone can find some bug and take advance and the company can lose money. There is risk for the company doing this. However eventually it will destroy jobs just like the Wendy’s drive thru attendants.
1358  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price bouncing from 200 Week MA on: May 30, 2023, 04:25:20 AM
I think the 200WMA lost its importance when it failed to hold last year. I got lucky with the 200 WMA during COVID crash and got a good average. Bought again last year when it touched and it was definitely not even close to support. Completely broke thru it.

So right now, especially being So flat, I don’t think it’s of any importance.
1359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in altcoins is a hedge over Bitcoin how true is this? on: May 29, 2023, 05:26:39 AM
I think investing in Alts is more of a leverage of investing in Bitcoin. Basically Bitcoin won’t do a 100x ever. However some alt coins can. So if you are 100% that the Bitcoin bull run has started you are better off owning alts because they will go up multiples times compared to Bitcoin itself.

The same is true in reverse. During a bear market Bitcoin will lose maybe 80% but alts can lose 99% and then lose another 99% and become worthless.
1360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 0.2 ₿ puzzle on: May 29, 2023, 05:23:11 AM
Yeah I think it definitely would of been solved by now if it was legit. 0.2BTC is like $6K almost so it’s a lot but I don’t think too many people will waste their time unless they are sure it can be solved.

That 32BTC puzzle is more legit because we know it’s real and it’s just a way to brute force the keys. This however we don’t know if we are wasting our time or not.
