Spinning a die number six is one in six shot. but you can spin six sixes in a row.which would be variance or luck. So in the first 100 blocks of the 2016 block jump plus or minus 10 blocks can be just luck. but at block 500 plus 50 blocks (the same 10%) is likely a trend. |

The only way to benefit like this guy showcasing his achievement through bitcoin is when you Hodli for a very long and keep on buying frequently. This guy is a motivation that there is light at the end of the tunnel when you take the bold step to sacrifice and invest in bitcoin with patients for it to bring back good returns in a long period of time. Although, it isn't advisable to put pictures of yourself on the internet in regard to your bitcoin achievement because you don't know who is watching. I have observe that only long term investors are always proud of their bitcoin investment.
If it was 2011 you could have purchased 2000 coins dirt cheap. 1 dollar a coin in feb 2011. Held them and sold a few hundred in Nov 2013 netting 200k+ and still have 1800 coins do nothing but hold the 1800 coins til 2017 sold 200 in Dec 2017 netting just under 4 million. leaving you with 1600 coins do nothing but hold them til 2021 sell 200 in nov 2021 netting just under 14 million leaving you 1400 coins. You will never need to buy them if you sell 200 every 4 years at new ath prices. |

well if it is 20 btc over the business choice.
I could sell 15 btc get 510k hold the 5 btc.
and use the 510k to set up the mining business that I listed before.
basically I get the same business and two bonuses one of 30k and one of 5btc.
this would be nice for me. as i do like mining.

I assume they are all tax free.
I would take 20 btc first
I would take the business second.
The business would be a mine for btc.
I am tired and the math for the mine is long.
but a 600kwatt mining box is about 40k
it burns 12 megawatts a day. or
360 megawatts a month at 30 usd a mega watt that is 10800 a month
a two year contract is 260000
so I am in for 300000 i get to put in 180000 in gear to bring me to 480000
I can get 100th machines at 900 i can do 200 machines so 20ph
that earns 20000 x 0.071 or 1420 a day the ˝ ing comes in 180 days.
I still have 540 days of power mined.
And I would have earned over 200000 in btc.
I need to tweak which units are best. but yeah I would take a properly setup mine.

I love the op patch. If you see a three page post you can look quickly to see if the post was abandoned by the op. I am grateful this feature was added. If a deletion link was added it be a nice patch. |

In a deal, 2 years ago, I asked the seller of a real estate project, if he will accept crypto for plot but he demanded some extra money for this deal. So, I was not able to close the deal but may be in future, I can buy something unique with crypto.
What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto?
mining gear or mining supplies is about all I ever got. years ago some amazon gift cards used mostly for gear.. |

If company's work will be easily copied and sold better with high budget marketing, then one will rarely bother to create such a good product. Alternatively, if their code can be used by competitors then it incentivizes them to continue to develop and improve. You develop, get copied, develop, get copied, copied copied, what's the point? Especially if your gained advantage is quickly regained by others. Then I, a rich guy, hired some developers, copied your code and with way bigger marketing budget, released a product built on your code and somehow because of our bigger budget, we managed to become more popular than you and finally took you over. Then why have we not seen Microsoft Trezor or Apple Passport? These wallets are open source and anyone can clone them. It's not as simple as that. Do you want to buy a wallet from the people who developed and wrote the code themselves, or from the people who copied it verbatim? Why doesn't Apple or Microsoft clone them? That's a damn good question. The answer is, these big companies aren't interested in that. But I have a counter question, why doesn't Apple buy a restaurant that's near to your house? Apple is a company that can buy every restaurant located in your city. Yes, I know I speculate but if we keep in mind their value, they'll be able to do that. Then, they can start collecting profit from those restaurants and buy more restaurants in other cities and over time they can conquer the earth, right? But that doesn't happen. There are many reasons why Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Nestle, Mars, Pfizer and other big corporations stay in their niche and don't interrupt in small businesses. hmm I supposed apple could clone trezor and have a bug built in crashing all of btc. They could work in conjunction with microsoft. That would be quite a shitstorm. and they would not be able to do it to a cold card correct? |

no haiku Sunday
I would be wrong to do that

how are they for durability? they look well made.
I have unable to see any information about its durability, but I believe it is as durable as Trezor hardware wallets if not more. Also that it is not what that would be carried about but kept in a safe place. Looking for youtube demos on it. Also looking on a way to buy it. |

Very simple, since his earned merit is only 50 merits, it means the rest (500 merits) are airdropped before the merit system. So, he was lying if he bought all the 550 merits at once.
I doubt if he bought the 50 merits, it high likely an alt accounts.
He was a Hero member and then delete all of his posts, so he back become a newbie rank.
You are wrong. Maybe. Look at my wife’s account. It has 276 merits. She almost never uses it. It is not for sale, but if it was sold you would get 276 merits then maybe she would ask me to send you 50 merits. You would then have purchased 326 merits. So maybe that happen with the guy bragging or maybe not. |

Most likely yes, and although some people like to speculate on extraordinary events affecting the price, I prefer to go on the basis of what is most likely. At the point of the cycle we are at and the recent price trend the most normal thing is that we do not return to sub $20K levels, but rather the opposite. Could some event as happened in its day with COVID-19 cause such a fall? Yes, but I do not rely on what I cannot predict. And in the case of wars, there is no direct relationship that indicates that they necessarily affect the market up or down.
If the op did not buy any coin during the 15-20k slot last fall he fucked up bigly. He even got under 19k this year. So he had two solid shot to buy at 70% plus discounts from the ath. Now he is hoping for a third shot a corn under 20k or better yet under 10k. The op had a serious fail in judgement. I am sorry for his poor decision processes. Following touts on tv or the internet is not the way to go. |

If you are a fan of signing your transaction with QR code, passport is the best option of hardware wallet that you can go for. You can use it with wallet like Electrum. It is an airgapped hardware wallet and completely open source. The most reputed wallet recommended by the members of this forum as of now.
So it photos the code and does its thing. how are they for durability? they look well made. |

I just got a pm that one of my post was deleted, but there is no link to the thread and even not the subject of the thread. Like I have to remember where I posted it like 3-4 years ago maybe even older. Here's the how the message looks like: A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave. You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations. <edited out due to not relevant to the topic> Could be nice if we get some sort of info when we get such massages. I post a lot. So one of the most annoying this I can get is a mystery deleted post message. I can possible spend days trying to find the post. So I give a quick look see and then stop. One thing I do is look at my post list for five days to see if it was recent. After that I mostly say fuck it oh well. |

try to restart it maybe it will go back to 3 boards.

We discussed this before, and my point remains the same: Coldcard used a huge variety of open source libraries and code when they built their device. To turn around and prevent people doing the same for their code is hypocrisy. Yes, we discussed it before and I remember it very well, I read all of your posted sources too. Yes, they used but Coldcard is not a Trezor's copy/paste while Passport is CC's copy/paste. Passport is the reason why CC is not open-source. If you are worried about someone building on top of your code and making a better product, the solution is to improve your own product, not stifle development and innovation, which is bad for everyone.
You put endless work to improve your product, then Passport copy/pastes it and both of you are on the same level. The difference is, you do the work and they gain the benefits. We can compare CC and Passport to Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Where would bitcoin be now if Satoshi had released bitcoin under a "source verifiable" license but prevented other people from developing on top of it?
Bitcoin is not the first cryptocurrency but somehow it become massively popular and none copy/pasted altcoins or even improved altcoins took it over and it's a little strage for me. Bitcoin users usually say that what they love about bitcoin is its decentralized nature and anonymity (it's not) and then my question is, why choose Bitcoin when you have Monero? By the way Satoshi has mined lots of bitcoins for himself, so, what he has to worry about?
My point is that the fact that ColdCard is a source verifiable doesn't make it any bad, I would use this wallet at any time because it's superior compared to other mainstream wallets. Will Coldcard improve its product if they gain financial profit? Sure. Is the source open and can anyone read it and verify? Yes, that's what's important for me, as a wallet owner. Do you want to learn more about bitcoin hardware wallet softwares? You can read every single line of their source code anytime you wish, so, you can learn from them and come up with your product if it's better and not totally based on their source code. I am not going to tolerate anyone saying Passport is a "copy-paste"; at this point it is a ridiculous statement. As we've said many times before, we ported parts of the codebase to a fresh MicroPython repo. It is impossible for Passport to be a copy-paste because it's completely different hardware with different hardware features. We have an entire GUI as well. Take 5 minutes to do a diff between our repos and you will quickly see that it's a load of nonsense. It's blatant slander by NVK and team. You cannot seriously try to compare Coldcard to Nikola Tesla when they simply started a MicroPython project, pulled in Trezor's crypto libraries, added a secure element, and wrote some PSBT code. Everyone is building on top of everyone else; that is how open source is supposed to work. I came to this thread at a good time. I have Trezor 1 I have Trezor T I was looking at your passport and I was interested in using it. Why should I use it? Is Trezor to Coldcard to passport simply an evolution of wallet technologies. Are you accessible in general via pm? I would like to see how your gear works as compared to my trezors. |
