So who is considered an early adopter these days? Is it still people who bought in 2010, or is it now people who bought in 2012 or 2013? And dont give me that bull answer of we're all still early adopters.

 Textbook answer:

Early Adopters (13.5%) – This is the second fastest category of individuals who adopt an innovation. These individuals have the highest degree of opinion leadership among the other adopter categories. Early adopters are typically younger in age, have a higher social status, have more financial lucidity, advanced education, and are more socially forward than late adopters. More discrete in adoption choices than innovators. Realize judicious choice of adoption will help them maintain central communication position

I’m a huge geek in my early twenties and was living with my parents when I put in my first pay check into crypto. Didn’t touch it for half a year and now I got a million. What should I do?

 You should use some of it to pay for spelling lessons, beginner.

It's like the undead, rising up from the graves to challenge the blockchain just one more time.....

 I might have to fire up a couple of Saturns to warm up the house then.... it's getting chilly.

$14600. Two options in the next 2 months, huge correction, or massive adoption and +50k.
Or just the standard 10x again that we’ve seen the last 12 months


 MMMMMmmmm... pizza!  Second best post of the day Wink

I wonder if it is actually profitable to mine BTC with a GPU again? Probably not, but one could hope.

 There is no hope for GPUs - with my best GPU it would take 9,038,161 days to mine one Bitcoin at a cost of 72 cents per day.  Maybe when Bitcoin is worth 7 million dollars though...



Can you not mine Bitcoin Gold with a GPU?

 I stopped GPU mining a while ago and haven't looked back but now that you mention it, it seems like I could make about $6 worth of BTG daily.  I'll be getting paid to keep the house toasty warm (if the wife approves - noisy).  Thanks!

As much as I'm loving this price action, something still tells me a big short is coming.

And there's a reason why they launched futures in December, right before Xmas. They know that people have money then.

 How big and how short?!  We need details.

The FOMO is unreal boys , even my grandma asked me how to buy bitcoin
That is awesome - you know if Granny gets involved then we've hit the mainstream

 Well, it was actually his step-grandma; she's 23.  Gramps got into Bitcoin in 2011  Tongue

roller coaster guy is so underrepresented in this thread


What rollercoaster? It's going up like this: |



better?

there is also this site: https://rollercoasterguy.github.io/
Now that looks more like it.













This moon shot stuff is all fine and everything....

but the acceleration is getting to me....the screaming engines...the shaking....

the manic laughter of the other BTC folk on this rocket...(jeez, don't you all bathe?)

fun but stressful...so much moon....trying not to wimp out!

(looks for NASA logo barf bag...where is it ..damn it!)

Not sure I have the balls for this 1k a day stuff....might lose my mind if it is 20k by the end of the month...

(he's dead...what's with the large grin? .....BTC Exciteditis Syndrome....extreme case...his BTC ship came in....his mind snapped ..no place to dock!




 You should use all that extra energy to fix up your house and we'll PM you when Bitcoin is 30k.



Crap...you would say that....I'm retiring at the end of this month....my new occupation is fixing this old house (just me) frack
gonna hate my version of this show....(no excuses anymore...must be done....damn it!)



 Ah just make a game of it!  Film the home upgrade, sell it to a network and convert the proceeds to Bitcoin.
Whistle while you work, a  spoonful of sugar and all that stuff Wink

edit: Oh! Congrats on the retirement!

You want to know what is scary? Two weeks ago my sister’s former boyfriend, a private soldier that left school at sixteen, started gushing enthusiastically about bitcoin and about how he had made fifty euro on his investment over the past three weeks. I started to feel sick in the pit of my stomach

They just love to trot out the Mike Tyson argument. Snobby fucks.


So he starts to feel sick to his stomach when someone he knows has a bit of luck?

Weird and perhaps this guy would thus be more suited to working at Helga's house of pain rather than commenting on economics.

 It would make me feel deep-down sickness if any of my sisters began dating a high school dropout/private soldier.  I'm failing to see the luck aspect in that - up fifty or not.

What's the deal with IOTA going beserk? Soon it will overtake Bitcoin Cash marketcap.

I am trying to figure out.... What I have been able to figure out is that a bunch of shitcoins being traded at Finex have been ridiculously pumped for no apparent reason.

...brokers of exquisite dreams and memories tested on the sensitized cells of junk sickness and bartered for raw materials of the will, doctors skilled in the treatment of diseases dormant in the black dust of ruined cities, gathering virulence in the white blood of eyeless worms feeling slowly to the surface and the human host, maladies of the ocean floor and the stratosphere, maladies of the laboratory and atomic war... A place where the unknown past and the emergent future meet in a vibrating soundless hum... Larval entities waiting for a Live One...

Downtown Cool

 Ah, the circumstantial ramblings of the Bitcoin junkie.

Well there's your problem. You're trying to pull a full amp through the port and the Pi doesn't like it. That's why basically everyone uses a powered hub.
It's odd that it has worked for a month, but is getting flakey now.
I down-speed to 100 and it's working much better.
Thanks

 It's not odd, it's lucky.  You might have caused some damage to the circuit or it might have cause a fire.  USB ports are designed for 0.5A max.

Shame about bgodl. Not exactly a crypto-windfall that one.

It's not doing badly for a free coin... I would never buy it though.

Same with Bcash. I have never (and would never) buy Bcash. If there ever was a hope of me taking this coin seriously, it all died when I read that "Letter from the CEO" nonsense written by that pirate guy...  Roll Eyes
But it was just a prank letter. Roll Eyes

I don't think it was meant as a prank letter...

Or maybe it's my (lack of) sense of humour...
No it was serious. But somebody insisted that it wasn't (I believe in this thread). But maybe I failed to read his sarcasm... lol

He was just trying to make the (valid) point that Bcash is permissionless - but the way he chose to demonstrate it caused confusion. Not sure I would call it sarcasm - maybe irony? I'm not sure what the best English word is for it.

The whole saga was embarrassing on so many levels - for people to attack him for this was doubly stupid. Bcash has plenty of flaws - this isn't one of them.


 I believe the correct term is rant since it was a rather humourless and somewhat condescending, thinly-veiled letter of reprimand for BCash detractors.
