Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

but how many 100 watt or 200 watt or 300 watt miners are running

avalon on medium speed is 100 watts.

I will run my two until they break. but that is about 210 watts and 7th

even if a million do it it is
7,000,000 th or
7,000.      ph or
7.            eh

the interesting thing is will we get the 100 million people level doing this.

if we do it could really help btc down the road.

stopped mining gpu/fpga coins when eth went pos. sold that shit for corn. i do miss the hum haha.

but i did i mined btc on gpu/fpga in 2011/2012 and even continued at a slight loss.  guess what, those btc coins i mined at a slight loss are where probably 60 percent of my stack today came from. because i kept mining. wasnt worrying about the money, btc was cool thats all i needed.

of course i did folding at home which where multi gpu rigs just for funziesi  for free so i was used to power bills and such.

so i said all that to say this: but i still have a dedicated 20amp outlet that i can run derated at what 16 amps. and as long as they are somewhat quiet i might still give a go.

i think many small miners that can be used in basements and garages etc are the way to go.

Biggest mistake of my life -- not mining back in the day. Total anonymity and tons of fresh, untainted coins to be had for practically nothing. I did some F@H at the time, GPUs number-crunching @ 100*C, not regretting it, always nice to contribute to science. I remember I did try to set up a Bitcoin miner back in 2010/11, but it was a complex (for me) Linux setup process and I wasn't so good at it back then. Gave up. Should have tried harder...

It's still so mind-boggling to me, that, back in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz was able to mine 35,000 BTC in two months, and added another 80,000 BTC soon after. Saylor-level quantities available to anyone smart enough to recognize and willing to embrace the opportunity.

Not really complaining though. I try not be too greedy and be happy with what I have. It could have been much, much worse. Just imagine a no-coiner today. Esp. one that knew and understood it all when it was happening, but did nothing. This must be a hell of a mental pressure to be able to live with...

I first heard about BTC around 2013. I remember reading a post here around then (just lurking) about someone spending 50 BTC on some regular coffee he was buying.

 

50 BTC.    

I'd fricking give up coffee for the rest of my life for an extra 5BTC added to my stash.

Luckily for me the top of 2013 was higher (with all the hype in the media back then) than I eventually and finally bought into some years later.

 Wait, wait, wait... what's this about giving up coffee?  Not for all the tea in China!

Hmm no coffee but endless Tea.

Well I do both and would prefer both in fact I had 2 coffees today and just made 1 cup of tea.


could I do without one of the two yeah but since I have btc and 5 btc is not that much more than I have. I will take the tea and the coffee as much as I want.

If offered 100btc I would let you pick which on of the two I have to quit.

yeah, those were the days, albeit memory does not serve you well, though.
Bitcoin was at $12 (or close) at the start of 2013, so, unless somebody bought coffee for $600, it's a legend.

The post was from 2011 or 2012 from what I remember. Was just looking through what people thought about BTC in the short past in those days when it was already going towards 1000 bucks.

I'll drink for the rest of my life without the 100 BTC offer

[xhomerx10]

I will give up chicken livers right now, for free - just for my WO buddies so as of now, I'm finished with chicken livers.  Don't say I never did anything for you.

For 100btc offer I would quit my favo dish and drink for the rest of my life

 Imagine, 14 years ago, a guy gave 10,000 BTC in order to have two pizza's delivered to his place and now we're offering to deprive ourselves of pizza (and beer) for the rest of our lives for just 100 BTC

edit:  I'm hoping that in 14 more years, we're hearing people offer to sell one of their own kidneys for 10,000 sats

instead life prefers giving options like scalabilty or security.

It was quite engaging with it's own suspense but felt more like a reminisce of the past ( if you have watched previous franchises).
Loved the suspense though.




P. S Deadpool and Wolverine semi sacrifice scene made me go back to Madonna Like a prayer

Oh, fugg, I missed OgNasty. So, it's OgNasty and rpietila that I know (and I'm pretty sure I've missed e few more)...

Just in case you're not aware, rpietila passed away a little while ago. RIP.

Take your share ASAP these big guns are catching up fast.



For the US Government I don’t think this is reflecting the actual figures and probably these 213,246 BTC are all the seized ones, same goes for the Chines Government.

A long stay like this signifies huge movement when it starts.
Reminds me of how long we spent around $23K-$25K  last year
But when it moved we found ourselves around $70K+ and still ongoing.
