The site looks cool but they want to kill me with ads. Each steps comes with ads which almost wear me out. I'm not seeing any ads because https://ublockorigin.com/ ↑ I use that. Works great still on YouTube for me as well. Pi-hole your DNS servers for your network https://pi-hole.net/Good suggestion. And free. While we're at it, and for those looking for a good VPN, I highly recommend Mullvad VPN. https://mullvad.net/enFor a flat fee of 5 € (about $6) / month, you get one of the best VPNs out there (read the details on their site), with true anonymity: there is no registration, just a randomly generated 16-digit number, much like a Bitcoin wallet's seed. They don't ask for emails or other personal info, and you can pay by Bitcoin, Monero, or you can even post cash in an anonymous envelope to a PO Box in Sweden. I'm mentioning it here, because they include ad-blocking DNS in their package.

are you using it? what does that site look like through it? Yes, I'm always using it. The ads I mentioned earlier still show (my screenshot is what I see through Mullvad VPN). If you look at the ads, they are neatly arranged in a column, and are 100% related to the site's content. I think these ads are hard-coded in the website code, so any ad-blocking tools would likely consider them as part of the site. They are not obtrusive, and I didn't even think they were ads until I specifically went there looking for them after Odohu mentioned them. Maybe without uBO or ad-blocking DNS the ads would become more obtrusive. As it shows on my system, the site is perfectly readable, and with technically sound reviews (my first impression).

That's exactly what it looks like with ublock origin and noscript for me. and I disabled noscript and there is no viewability change.

I see what you mean now. I didn't notice them as ads! I thought they were images with links to site content so if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known.

It looks to me like they are direct links to the pictured hardware, I do not even see tracking nor referrals in the links, they are clean, so just a basic ad space. I also noticed they seem to be hardware that has been reviewed for the few I saw so correct me if I'm wrong. They should be shrunk down alot though.

Works great still on YouTube for me as well. Pi-hole your DNS servers for your network https://pi-hole.net/Pi-hole is a game changer; I run it directly on my Asus router with custom Merlin firmware and have stopped ads all across the house. You can go an extra step and add a Tailscale too it as well so even while you're out of the house your mobile devices are still blocked by the pi-hole instance you have at home - highly recommend

I feel the usual 4 year cycles are dead from now on
We had a (laughable) ATH but this should have been a green year. In addition we now have 2 of 4 red years, when it was always just one.
Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to the club. The question is do we act like gold did 1992-2002 Stay in a 200-400 slot and now it is 11x bigger. So does btc do 75k-135k for 6,7 years than go to a million around 2033? 6 , 7 was intentional

Welcome to the club. The question is do we act like gold did 1992-2002 Stay in a 200-400 slot and now it is 11x bigger. So does btc do 75k-135k for 6,7 years than go to a million around 2033? 6 , 7 was intentional feeling-wise, I was in the club for the last months already, I just needed the confirmation of 2025's end. I think BTC moves faster than Gold so I don't see 7 years of sideways. But 1 million in 7 years sounds realistic. How we get there will be the interesting part. The question is, as it has always been, how quickly people understand to a sufficient degree what Bitcoin really is, that includes leaders of big companies and countries. Also we need to sort out the shit that is going on with the OP returns now and after that the quantum stuff.
