Kucoin is reopening affiliate program.

This question circulates around these forums daily: Should people entering cryptocurrency start mining, trading or investing?

I was told some great advice back when I got into cryptocurrency and thought I would share it. Please keep in mind this is a summary, but still a good representation.

Mining - Mine if you are passionate about the technology and the love idea behind it.
Trading - Trade if you are interested in research and have an abundance of patient and time.
Investing - Invest if you feel the future of the technology will grow and you love what it represents.

At the end of the day everyone has their own reasons for getting involved in cryptocurrency. This ranges from the opportunity of money and riches to the technology and industry itself. What I am trying to tell you is there is no perfect answer to the 'Should I start mining, trading or investing?' question.

You will find more profitability in something you are passionate about and enjoy then something you are not. The point is do what interests you the most regardless of what other people tell you.

My Story: I got involved in the crypto industry out of obsession. It's the first technology that has driven me to obsession since I picked up my first gaming controller.

The answer to your question is open ended. Think of it like this: Why do people buy anything of value? Answer that and you will answer your own question.

I can't comment on why it would hold value for you. I can just answer for myself which is the time, effort and quality put into the project. Quilts are nothing compared to that of a manufactured product. The quilts I own have been passed down to me and I grew up with them everyday of my life. It will hold it's value through time to people that care about it.

Crypto Quilts as a business intents to be a non-profit (besides donations) with 100% of proceeds going to the quilters. The intent is to give both the buyer and seller value. Not everyone is going to fall in love with a quilt. However, those who do have options.

Edit: I hope I answered your question. Did not intend to come across wrong with my answer.

The average handmade quilt at that size (58'x58') would retail between $800-1500. The bitcoin quilt price had nothing to do with the design being unique (besides being applicable to the market) it was based off material and time. There was no bidding system as no bids were placed on the original action. The offer and sale took place after the Auction closed.

For the record if a similar Bitcoin quilt was commissioned or Bitcoin Quilt #2 was made there would be 0% chance it would be the same. Handmade quilts for the most part are always 100% unique because its based off available materials, block placement etc. Most quilters never repeat projects as they are trying different material, processes and designs.

To give some insight about one of the quilters who worked on this project (part of the quilt guild) she sells quilts for a living at $2,000-$5,000 (1-2 months of work). The biggest misconception about quilts is the time and effort that goes into these projects. They are not like traditional manufactured items and most quilters don't even get minimum wage out of a quilt project and most have decades of experience.

Ethereum quilt is being designed. Exciting new projects underway.

Sold. Off forums.

Really interesting idea. From experience the legal side of it would be a nightmare, but there are intermediate companies that would oversee and run the property. It would just come down to if it the size of investment and potential return of said property over a fix period.

I would be interested to hear more.

I've messaged the buyer and will leave it up to him if he wants to comment. The buyer and I never really discussed the purchase being private, but will let him comment if he seems fit. The quilt is still in transit.

As mentioned above there is no block limit. Fee problems won't be a problem for a very long time as we are reaching 17,000,000 Bitcoins mined today.

Still available. Happy to answer any questions.

Hello all,

I'm excited to announce the creation of Crypto Quilts after the successful sale of the first Bitcoin Quilt. Offering a unique custom quilts with cryptocurrency with free shipping worldwide.



Website: https://www.cryptoquilts.org

Description:

Crypto Quilts was founded in 2018 with the premise of creating recognition for quilters and their quilts.
The idea of creating the first Bitcoin quilt came from working with a local quilt guild.
The entire process from designing to the finished project was in the hands of the quilters.

The sad truth is quilts are slowly becoming unappreciated in a throw away society.
We want to change that by spreading awareness and sharing appreciation for quilts.

100% of proceeds go directly to the quilter and guild.
Crypto Quilts as a company takes no profits and pays out of pocket for all shipping costs.
This is possible by using the power of decentralization and cryptocurrency.

I'm really glad they are finally getting punished, but I'm tired of these small fines as $1 billion is nothing for banks. It's a laugh for them honestly from working with them directly.

I have yet to find an centralized exchange that does not have some problems. I've never personally lost or had any major problems with funds, but there was a lot of politics with proof of identity and verification.

Remember business want to keep money. Not spend it.

Auction Closed. Sold privately.

It's a really interesting idea, but I feel like searching for the TX would take up a large amount of resources or not be possible.

The big three for long term HODL is Ledger Wallets, KeepKeey and Trezor.
I personally use Nano Ledger S and have three of them. Lawyer has one. One in personal safe. One kept around my person.

3 hours 30 minutes left in Auction.

This. Finex was one of the biggests hacks. 120,000 BTC. NiceHash Hack was also a big deal which was around 5,000 BTC.
