It seems like Andreas has just become a bitcoin millionaire due to some serious influx into his adress today, I'm glad he's finally receiving the recognition he deserves from the community. He's such an invaluable asset to the whole bitcoin community for his propagation of education and adoption about bitcoin. Go show him some love if you can!

Someone just donated half a million+ USD to Andreas!

This is why I LOVE bitcoiners.  

that is awesome!

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!)

Looks like you B missing dee hookers and the blow...    other than that... cool....

i love this crypto-land.

Well I bought my first ever coin for 120 then the price promptly crashed.
Now it's 'worth' 100x that at 12k, but that's the steepest of discounts, because it's actually going to be worth 100x that at 1.2mil before long, and not one penny less.

I bought my first coin for $1,200 in late November 2013, and I was called a  moron for more than 2 years... , and it took three years for that first coin to come out of the red.  Actually, it was 1.24 btc for $1,500....   The price appreciation on that first coin is looking pretty good, now, even averaging out 4 years, that would be about 2.5X  appreciation annualized.  Not bad... not bad.

Awesome.  Well deserved, IMO.

The only problem with that tx is that there is an unconfirmed tx when the donator cleared out his address for Andreas.

https://blockchain.info/tx/e4c6511f24aaa6c391794df3dd3786b597c3ffffd28807ea46cde7f4718e4b32

At 66 satoshi per byte, that tx might not be able to clear for quite a long time, especially given the current craze and tx spike.  So that is going to hold up the subsequent tx which paid a very reasonable 150 satoshi per byte.

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?

So let's say I have more than 10 BTC and less than 20.  (cost basis around $600)

Two women in my office have watched me go nuts all year with the price increases.  I wish they bought in, but like most, they just feel like it's appreciated too much, and it's too late for them to get in.  Plus they don't have as much extra cash just lying around.

I thought of giving them a paper wallet for Xmas with some BTC in it, and thought $100 apiece was generous.  If I gave them both .01 BTC, I'm just wondering -- do I seem too cheap since it's such a small part of my stash?  I mean, I don't want to part with any of it, and now their gift is worth $130.

Normally I'd spend like $25 on them.  Not close close friends, just good work friends.  

What's my play here.

Fuck them.


Give them the usual gift, and perhaps account for possibility of some deflation by giving 20% extra.  Don't give them 4x extra.  They don't deserve it, unless perhaps they are going to blow you.  (one by one of course - would have to get two out of this not a team effort).

Just noticed that Bcash coin has fallen below .1 , now @ .093.    

[CheatingCoins]

Price keep increasing, people keep selling, and its price keep growth, I think BTc will be at 25k this new year.

It looks like a lot of alts are being squeezed to provide more rocket fuel for Bitcoin. Reverse flippening? Dominance currently at 62% and rising, captain.

You are wrong on that one. In this issues team effort is more valuable than one by one. It's one of those rare cases in which 1 + 1 > 2

Mind melting week... Memories of 2013 rise. And 2014-15 slog through the desert. Boy was this payoff worth the wait.

Yes, you can. But with all the security incidents with that coin, it's really going downhill.

 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!

YUp, it's one of those times where I feel a bit sad about my little alts... and then realise their combined value is not much more than 10 or 20% of my portfolio so I fucking don't care

[AlcoHoDL]

12,000 € ATH @ Kraken!

There's no point anymore...

I'm off to bed to make some profits while sleeping. Will be checking the charts in my dreams.

See you guys tomorrow!


PS: Well done, Andreas! Well deserved!

$6 with only one card or you have several? Is that discounting the electricity cost?

My one 1070 could make about $2.58 per day, discounting electricity at 15 cents/KW. So a better card could probably make six.
