Cards Against Humanity Rare Card - "A $1000 check from Cards Against Humanity" response card (white). Only 100 ever made.

I started trading cryptocurrency in 2013, ever since then I've made gains and losses and had a lot of fun in the meantime. The last year has been very difficult (financially) for my wife and I so I've been selling off small portions of my crypto back into btc every month to meet the demands of the monthly bills. 5 Days ago I sold the very last btc I had to make sure we were able to pay bills for the month and have a hundred dollars or so for some holiday gifts. I honestly had no idea what I was going to do in January.

Today, my wife opened the mail and found ourselves $1000 richer because of this great company Cards Against Humanity that gave away $1000 to 100 people in need. You can read more about it here: https://cardsagainsthumanityredistributesyourwealth.com/

This is fantastic! I am now sure we'll be good to pay our bills for a several more months without worrying about it. However; I'd really love to get back into my crypto-trading as this has been my passion for the past 4+ years. Most of all, I'd love to have some more btc itself to hodl for the long-term. I convinced (begged) my wife to sell this rare Cards Against Humanity card to pursue my passion.

There is no reserve price. I have no idea how much I could get from the card, but any amount in crypto will be great, I would keep half in btc and the rest would be available for me to get back to trading for my life. I was generally good at the trading game, but was not able do it on a normal day-trading regular basis. I've been able to trade well enough for the past year to keep me in the trading game and pay the bills but it came to a point I needed to sell out completely.

Sorry I am not a verified seller, since this is the only thing I plan on selling on this site I don't want to risk sending a picture of my license to a website. I please ask that you use the escrow services.

Thank you!

["Bitcoin Millionaires"]

I'm super interested in the story of the "Bitcoin Millionaires" and we've all heard of the millionaire-dollar pizza, guy loses 7,500 bitcoins in the trash, kid makes millions before turning 18, guy forgets he has millions of bitcoins on his old hard-drive and finds it again then buys a house, and other uber-early investors making big money, but I wanted to take a quick look to see if there were more people we don't even know their name.

I've dug down to the top 2,000 BTC addresses and have found just a few that were obvious early investors that are still active.

What I have found is the many of the 10k, 5k, 2.5k, 1k total BTC addresses have definitely been moved around and are still active to some degree (this year), but there's little selling in those accounts. I suspect some rich folks said "Sure, I'll buy into this thing" and the don't care to monitor it themselves, probably don't even own their own keys (scary). Or it's a very few people just spreading out their coins into multiple addresses.

I found at least a few hundred addressed that were definitely early investors but haven't outputted anything for several years, so they either lost their keys or forgot about it completely.

So the following addresses are the ones I found that are definitely early-investors and have made millions off their investment but we may never know who they are, there are untold stories here that's very interesting:

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/16g2TW2hbFoov3DThSRBdnETaS94bFvq5v
"I have adopted early, and put lots of money into BTC in the $5-$20 range, started cashing out some around $100, then during mid-to-late 2013 rush I made some BIG cash, but didn't sell everything, still holding a good 2,700 BTC."

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/19xjndVpGTqmFAC1ZL3gV6MpxJUMkvqSrd
"Mid-2011 I bought up large-sums in the $10-$20 scene, I sold some a couple years later for 4x profit, but I believe in BTC and am still holding strong."

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1BgD7Hng1dMJheysegwdbZYYUjwUimVUxP
"I bought and bought, then bought some more, between 2011 to Q1 2013 where I made it BIG on a sell. Just selling a few to pay some bills now, but looking at my $3m BTC fortune is great. Still holding."

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1PwWbe2zpLmcrm4f86U4cnHNuBnETaYzJs
"Bought early, and big amounts. Was able to hold 5 years before buying my 2 lambos."

I can only imagine their story, based on the time of their send/receive amounts. I'd love to have been in that position they were. It's almost as some have simply forgotten about BTC altogether then suddenly realized they are millionaires.

[WTF is this?]

WTF is this?

It's NOT (Round) as we know as of today being a $53m marketcap coin. It's something coinexchange made up I believe, and just creating a fake coin out of no-where. At some point when I tried tracking down this coin I found https://twitter.com/Round_Coin and they were pointing their work towards (Round) as we know it (roundcoin.org) and claiming they were all about eSports and even directing people to the official rouncoin.org address. However, they also said they just released the coin on coinexchange.io on 06/20/2017, yes the same day they actually released RDC there, but they are not the same.

I can no longer access the original twitter at https://twitter.com/Round_Coin (someone awesome can dig this up?), but their logo was a picture of a bunch of people stolen from this page: https://www.glassdoor.com/Photos/Renaissance-Consulting-Group-Office-Photos-E930459.htm

So anyway, if you want real proof, goto: https://www.coinexchange.io/network/peers/RDC
THERE ARE NO PEERS!!! THE COIN DOES NOT EXIST!!!

I was looking through the hashrates of various cryptonote coins and nearly every single one had bumped hashrates 10-20 times their normal amounts at the end of the day on October 9th going into the 10th.

For example, October 9th XMR had a hashrate of 14MH/s and for just a short time on the 10th it jumped up to 243MH/s. This pattern is seen on most cryptonote coins.

I understand that it could be botnets but that'd be one huge botnet, and why didn't it stay that way very long?

Also, I understand that maybe there would be some issues with blockchain explorers, but this seems to show up on multiple explorers.

The jump lasted only a few hours, all within the same timespan. Check out the charts yourself: http://chainradar.com/xmr/chart
XMR, MCN, FCN, QCN, DSH, and BCN all show the same sudden bump in hashrate, then an immediate decline. There is even a noticeable bump in BBR and XDN around the same time. However, AEON did not show this bump (or at least it's not as apparent). Contrary, AEON experienced something similar on July 31st.

I searched to see if this was already discussed but I only found a few other people mentioning the bump within the XMR thread.
