I was searching for the Solar Eclipse Live on YouTube, and to my surprise, the SpaceX stream was second on the list, with 121k viewers. But hold on a second, why is Elon Musk talking about Bitcoin? How is it related to the eclipse? And why is he asking people to scan a QR Code on this significant day?
No way... This seems like a scam, and I'm concerned about how many people might lose their precious bitcoins.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

It's just natural selection at work, nothing to worry about

Did solar eclipse caused bitcoin's run OR Did bitcoin's run caused the solar eclipse? ...JK
That said, this is how MSM report anything related to bitcoin...like a bunch of "mystics". Got glasses...we had 94% totality, but with a light cloud coverage, you did not even needed "eclipse" glasses, but when clouds thinned, glasses did the job.

It got pretty dark here during totality but it was very cloudy before and during so we couldn't see the sun at all. The clouds dissipated slightly and I was able to get a photo just recently but well past peak coverage. The sudden darkness is a little eerie.

I will get 90% in 1 hour and 20 min It is pretty much sunny here in NJ. I will view it with binoculars I discovered last year during a partial eclipse here that you can simply look at the dappled light on the sidewalk after it comes through the leaves of a tree to watch the eclipse happen in thousands of little images. Edit: Jeez... okay it was June 2021 - seems like yesterday. Edit2: Or a colander if you happen to be straining your pasta during an eclipse:

I was thinking about the following hypothetical the other day:
Let's assume that bitcoin goes to 100-300K (let's say, 200K average) this cycle and somewhere along the line you sell a substantial % to invest in property, luxuries, etc ( whichever you choose). In 10 years afterwards, bitcoin goes to 5 mil, which means that you only "captured" just 4% of the potential value.
How would you feel about it? I guess, it would also depend on the remainder (that you didn't sell), but still.
Personally, I know that years later, I am not particularly fond of my decisions to sell AMZN, AAPL and TSLA early, even though I made very nice gains on them. Sometimes, I consider these occurancies as my investment follies, but, again, you cannot be 100% efficient.
Of course, it is possible to NEVER sell btc and, basically, put this decision on the shoulders of descendants, but you cannot guarantee that they would be wise about it, right? At least, I can't.
At some point, I would have to start to spend btc and this point is coming relatively soon. Alas, to spend even a relatively small amount of btc on things like kitchen remodeling causes a bit of mixed feelings on my part as I contemplate the scenarios described above. That could be one expensive kitchen 5-10 years down the road. Withdrawals from IRA are taxable and I put all my stables back into the market during 2023. I would probably do a mix of "things", but don't want to take on HELOC or anything like this. Decisions, decisions...

Didn’t read the whole post in bed but quick response Don’t mind selling something to live life If spend 5-10% and in then years or 5 or 2 reaching 1-2-3-4-5 whatever mil a coin Then 90% of the remaining or 80-70-60 …. Will provide well
