Good morning Bitcoinland.
Same old, same old. Bouncing along sideways in $8k-$9k range... currently $8580USD/$10810CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Waiting for the spring breakout. Ho hum.
+10 WOsMerits for just being you.

I think there are many of us that are closer to the end than the beginning.
dont forget us old farts have seen how the government and banks play with money "for our own good" for a long time and many of us trust the government/banks even less than the younger generation.
but maybe im an exception. lot of my friends around my age just dont get btc and wont get into it. but that may be because they generally arent a technology freak like i am.

My brother-in-law is 59..great guy...but refuses to even look into the digital realms. Even after hours of debate and explanations..horse..water..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bitcoin grew out of the cypherpunk movement, which started in the 70s-80s. A lot of pioneers of bitcoin came from that movement: Adam Back, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, probably Satoshi Nakamoto, etc. So, Bitcoin was birthed by a bunch of old guys.
I'll also take the opportunity to rant a bit. Out of those four I mentioned, one is AWOL, one is dead, and the other two are fervent supporters of Bitcoin over BCash. Bitcoin is much more closely aligned with the original cypherpunk principles that elevate privacy and decentralization.

I see no ranting in those last two sentences. Every word you typed is true imo.
A
seminal piece of work no? In all honesty...one of my favorite authors.

Same here and jumped in 2013 building a gpu miner with borrowed money. In the young uns defence though, when i was 30, i thought 50+ was a lifetime away and technology to that age group was beyond comprehension.
Of course i was wrong, as they are now
Almost 70 here and definitely not a tech luddite.
I used to think anyone over 40 was old. Now I think anyone under 40 is a clueless kid.
No, not all kids are clueless about life just as not all seniors are clueless about technology.
One of my older friends (pushing 80) was buying bitcoins at less than $200 and still buys the dips. Needless to say he's done quite well.
+1 WOsMerit just for being a geezer.
I dont really care for the racist bullshit but whatever.I think thats great..just remind him to set something up so hes keys can be willed to whom ever.

Surely those gold ingots are silver ingots with gold coating?

This is great...but we need the PM's to be strapped to their backs. They have one hour to cross over the border...its 20 miles away and they have 1000lbs of their entire life savings with them. Now run!
On the other team....its Jew boy and hes Trezor...who will make it over the border first?
@R0ach Your logic...wait..your rational is so fucked up I dont know where to start. You are showing your bias with statements like this. Once the PoW block reward end..miners will compete for transaction fees. Why do you waste your time preaching to bitcoin evangelists..on a bitcoin forum?
