Decided to set up a $25 daily recurring buy at Gemini, until I get bored after 'doing enough of that for a while', or run out of money - whichever comes first.
Let's see how this bold strategy plays out.
Might work better as selling a few weeks back Though I understand the decision as it’s just a % of the stash Hom much in fees Bob? Don't tell me is 25 plain and simple

I wonder what TERA is doing. I figured she'd be back when the bull started but probably made enough in the last two bubbles.
Why do people think TERA is a woman? IIRC, there was just one forum member who started calling TERA a 'she', TERA never corrected (which I understand if you care about opsec), and everybody just started taking over this habit. Not saying she cannot be a woman, but there is like zero indication about his/her gender. If anything, I would think that traders that are early adopters of bitcoin have a higher likelihood of being male (though undoubtedly some women are also early adopters and/or trader).

so the answer to the covid economic shock should be -let all th small businesses die? -let all the folks who lost their job starve? money is printed in record numbers but it does not get where it helps people in emergency economic situation, it only goes to the banks/crony capitalists. the rising inequality is mainly due to unfair taxation, wages stagnating for decades, while cost of living rising every month. if helping people out of an emergency that crony capitalism has created is communism, well then I guess I'm a commie. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) UBI is coming within this decade, and it will be a good thing for bitcoin. Somehow these people never mention forever-wars and over-inflated military budgets. Not all types of spending are the same. When regular people have no money to spend, economy stops.

Hom much in fees Bob? Don't tell me is 25 plain and simple
Why you gotta go and harsh my mellow like that ? Is it to prod me into paying a little bit more to get an even $25 daily ? I mean, yeah, OK, after fees and all, it's not a clean $25, but it's better than a kick in the balls. * BobLawblaw runs away from the thread, sobbing inconsolably

#bitcoin stock-to-flow cross asset model -if BTC doesn't break it's historical path -BTC market cap will approach gold market value $5-10T in 2021-2024 -and approach real estate market value $10-100T in 2024-2028 -after 2028 we can no longer interpolate and enter uncharted waters https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1334834429177507844

i started mining in summer 2011, and yeah i thought fall/winter 2011 bitcoin was in a world of hurt. kept mining as the rigs heated my basement anyway.
2013-16 being boring? not boring really but i dont remember too much excitement either. i mean it was declared "dead" many more times too but after the 1st one i experienced in 2011 i was used to it i guess. no big deal.
As far as I understand, even in 2011 and 2013 to 2016, blocks continued to come out every 10 minutes. Adoption continued to happen. Development continued to happen. So being bored might be an attempt to focus on only one aspect, which was whether BTC happened to be in a hype period. "world of hurt" was my viewpoint at the time. many others seemed worried too. of course there were blocks every 10 minutes (the protocol is the protocol) and development still happened. however at the end of 2011 the price was at the point where i was mining at a slight loss (compared to just buying btc, which i wasnt about to do at that point) even counting the heating aspect, and the drop from $35 to like $3 was the 1st time i read about the "death spiral" bit. i thought it might fail as a project. but i did folding@home for free for years, so supporting the bitcoin project by mining for free was no different, as tthere was still the chance bitcoin might take off and be useful. money at that point was secondary to me. but for peeps that mined purely for money and as a business model it was surely different. and that mining model had to be profitable. sure looked to me at that point that aspect wasnt going so well. bitcoin wasnt in mainstream news then and exchanges seemed sketch af. mainstream mining was how to get the adoption curve up there, at least it seemed to me anyway. mining and utility are different aspects of bitcoin. both are needed obviously, and both have different goals.

There is one problem: mining. Satoshi Nakamoto (whoever he was) once said ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=57.msg415#msg415) that "the price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost" and "in later years, when new coin generation is a small percentage of the existing supply, market price will dictate the cost of production more than the other way around". I agree. Later years are still very far away. Widespread institutional adoption may shift the balance, but without it the price will gravitate toward the mining cost, that is low tens of thousands, for years to come. Which is why non mining hodlers like difficulty increases. Not only more security, but also higher production cost.

I've been contemplating somethig recently. We all expect that 2021 will be incredible for Bitcoin. May be the price will cross 50K, 100K, 200K, or even more. With that in mind, wouldn't it be better if I take an unpaid leave of absence from my work for 1 year and go to some exotic island with no internet and tv. My work spot will be reserved, so I have no worries for that. I could just put some sell orders between 50K and 500K and when I return, I will discover what happened. In this way, I will avoid the emotional decisions and selling too much too early. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Which is why non mining hodlers like difficulty increases. Not only more security, but also higher production cost. Right. I am not against difficulty increases (my mining days are long gone), but I can hardly imagine a tenfold increase of the current production cost. As I understand, the main constituents are electricity costs and equipment costs (the equipment quickly becomes obsolete and constantly needs to be replaced). The efficiency (hash per joule) continues to increase, so I doubt that the energy consumption can increase significantly. Faster and more efficient equipment is more expensive, but its cost needs to increase faster than difficulty to make the cost of production higher.
