I don't see any reason for splitting coins that yo are holding. You should only split if you have coins that you're holding for long term profit and coins that you're moving every day for purpose of trading, gambling, or spending in any other way. You should have your holder wallet and your daily use wallet separated so that you can keep your bigger, more important wallet offline for as long as you can. It doesn't really matter how much you're holding. I have single addresses, each containing more than 1BTC in one and the same wallet and I don't feel like it's a vulnerability as long as the wallet remains on a safe, clean machine.

I know it's stupid but for some investors their pride and stubbornness is more important than common sense. If I saw that a CEO of a company that I'm holding can thing outside the box, I'd be even more confident. I'm a guy who likes to see positive numbers, no matter where they come from. I'm not a guy who would judge a company based on whether they portray themselves environmentally friendly or not, but I can understand why a clean energy freak who spent 100k USD on his electric car and another 100k on solar panels would feel betrayed by Elon who is now investing in Bitcoin. People are strange and irrational most of the time so a bold move like that could scare them.

Gambling is all about increasing your odds of winning, unless you gamble out of boredom and don't care about the money. Knowing the spot, he teams and their past performance and other small things like player transfers, increases your odds. Sure there are people who rely on predictions and follow the way of more experienced gamblers and there's nothing bad in that. Some people bet on sports they never watch, which for me is strange, but if they like it it's all good.

It depends. The impact of the stimulus package can be seen on bitcoin right when people get a hold of they freshly printed Dollars. There's a theory, backed by surveys, according to which a large part of stimulus giveaway to end on Bitcoin exchanges. We'll see how it goes but if I were a person who has enough money to go by, I wouldn't hold stimulus under the mattress but try to invest it. Some of the poorest will probably spend it, but the middle class is going to go for stocks, gold and BTC.

In short yes, but big wins can also prove to be unlucky for the winner in the long run. There was a research made among US lottery winners and most of them were bankrupt after 5-10 years. Many paid for their wins with divorces or car crashes. Having money isn't always a good thing, especially if you come from a poor family and suddenly have more than you can handle.

That's a pretty normal thing if your daughter isn't tech savvy or doesn't come here or read r/bitcoin. In general there's 2 groups of users and this is the same in every single thing. One is people who just want to use something. They come home with a new purchase, unwrap it and plug it in. The second group reads all the instructions, posts pictures of their new purchase online, want to research some hacks and hidden features, find out ways to make that thing even better. That's why you have people who know everything about their car and people who after a few months of driving still don't remember on which side the fuel filler is.

We do not price Bitcoin in dollar because we want to. It's just the most universal fiat money that people around the world recognize and know its rough value. I price everything in EUR, but on this forum I use USD pricing because I know the value of EUR in USD so I can quickly go from one to the other in a conversation. I know that for people from Asia and Africa it's much easier to price things in USD and for Europeans both fiats are pretty similar, thus I talk about BTC using USD pricing.
USD crash is going to happen one day, but it won't make American switch to BTC or anything else. It will surely make BTC price explode, but it won't change people's habits and the way they see things. For them their morning coffee that used to cost $2 will now cost $5, but it's still going to be $.

You're right but the question is, is it getting better or worse because we know the problem exists for centuries. I feel like we see much less of it than we did in the 70s or 80s. It's easy to test competitors for drugs and it's not like you can throw a match easily with all the cameras watching you from different angles. Digital banking also makes it harder to hide some sudden changes in income.

What I do in such situations depends on how I feel and whether I'm there watching the game. If I have a bad feeling about the game and have an option to cash out early, I do it. If I feel like going with the flow and testing my luck until the end, I do it. It's hard to say if I'd prefer to cash out early or not because it's just too situational.
I lost money by not cashing out early. I'm sure there aren't many players who didn't.

We can say that a bitcoin transaction is pretty much like signing a digital document. A blind person can do it with the help of a finger scanner. They'd need to scan a qr code, have the software read the whole transactions to them and confirm it by touching the scanner. It's pretty much the thing blind people have to face every day when they want to get a ticket from a dispenser or get money from an ATM. Most of these machines have touchscreens, so you can't "feel" what they display, you need sound to guide you.

In this last post you've actually spoken for the idea of mining to heat your home, not against it.
You said you made more money selling the equipment than mining, which means you made money mining and then again made money selling the equipment.
Had you used some of the heat, you'd have made even more in the grand scheme of things. Holding mined coins would also make it even more profitable for you. Most miners made the mistake of selling right away to secure ROI.


He sure is stubborn like a mule.

To be honest his opponents weren't the toughest. He has a perfect score but that doesn't mean anything if you're not fighting against the best. Like you're saying this is going the be the time when the opponents get tougher and more experienced. Fedor had 25 fights in 9 years and won all of them and then he started losing. Maybe Adesanya is a prodigy who doesn't lose? I doubt it but time will tell.
If you compare opponents, Blachowicz fought tougher ones.

Anyway, congratulations Stake for getting such a good representative.

Sure, it's possible that one day it's going to be used the way described in the article but for that to happen countries would have to create legal frameworks and treat bitcoin transactions as binding.
I feel like the most common use of bitcoin will be holding followed by a high value transfers made by the private sector (companies and wealthy individuals). Nobody is going to use bitcoin to buy a pizza but it's going to be your first choice when you decide to buy a private jet or an island.

And by selling weapons to every other nation around the globe. Sometimes it's for money, sometimes for favors, and if you don't want to buy from them you're the enemy (like Saddam).
Most countries are barely holding on if you think about it. The ones that are printing less are held together by a leader's strong hand, others, with more freedoms, have to print more because free people want more and you can't shut them up by force, you have to bargain more.

I do it very often. Last minute changes in the roster are probably one of the most important factors when it comes to betting on team sports like football. If a team loses an important player because of health issues it's less likely to play well, everybody knows that.


There were many real life situations that backed this statement, especially in esports. There were teams made of champions that were simply doing bad and were disbanded after 1 tournament.

I usually try to save up as much as possible, so that's the main use of my signature campaign earnings. When they grow in value enough I spend some, usually during the bull runs.
My nature of a hodler makes me think twice before I gamble anything away or use for charity, which doesn't mean that I don't gamble or spend on charity, just that fiat is much better for it.

FYI the purpose of the heat pump is not to mine coins but to heat your home and your water.
I'll give you a nice example of how this could come in handy from my own recent experience. My friend has a house in one country, but moved to another before the pandemic and had trouble coming back for winter, so he decided to stay at his girlfriend's place for a few months. I got a call from him a few days back to check on the house and it appears he had a flood because it got so cold in there the pipes froze and burst (the temperatures went down to -20 this winter which is pretty rare. Last winter we maybe had -5 outside tops and his house was fine). So if he had a mining rig in there he'd be able to get some coins for free and keep the house warm.

The whole market is in the red. If you bought BTC or almost any other coin, not counting Cardano, BAT and maybe a handful of other coins, you'd suffer a loss to fiat.


He made the wrong decision again when he posted about ETH in bitcoin discussion.
I don't believe ETH is an inflated market at this time since it's the most popular chain upon which other coins are built. In this market the important features are scarcity and utility. Bitcoin is the most popular scarce coin and ethereum the most popular utility coin. I'm sure that if Bitcoin continues to gain value (and it will) ETH will follow.

Exactly. Good picks and counterpicks can decide the game. You can have better players and simply be outpicked at the beginning and you'll lose the round. That's why at top level events they usually play best of 5, but in normal casino scenario nobody is going to play for 5 hours straight to get the reward. Casino games have to be pretty easy and fast. They need a los skill entry point, so that a newbie can understand the rules fast and they need a fast paced matching system. Dota sucks in this because team picking phase alone can take 10 minutes.

I'd rather ask why their wages are so incredibly high. For instance, a good specialist in his field, a scientist, a researcher, can make maybe 10k USD a month. Football players make 100k. They're getting so much that it's easy for them to become spoiled. It's especially hard to stay true to your beliefs when you come from a poor country and suddenly advance to a world league.
It's my belief that as long as there's big money in sports, there will be corruption and the governments won't be able to change anything. They can't monitor the flow of cash.
