Well that was a good lesson for you to learn--and for any noobie to learn. I wish I could have held onto all the bitcoin I've earned through campaigns, but I had to sell a lot and I bought a lot of stuff too. It's not a huge regret, just a minor one.
Yeah. It's weird thinking that people didn't care or people weren't as impatient in the past(compared to today at least) with bull markets or price rises in general..
..or was it just me?
I think the fixed ChipMixer rate is even an interesting economic experiment. It's one of the few things priced in Bitcoin (are there any others left?) with an unchanged rate since 2017 (or even 2016? I don't remember when it started exactly.).
If we want Bitcoin to succeed as a currency, this kind of fixed prices should become more popular and eventually even the norm. In a context of extreme volatility like now it's unlikely for that to happen massively, but maybe such a trend could start in the next consolidation phase.
It's probably because ChipMixer is also earning in BTC rather than fiat; hence they compute their percentage allocations on everything(campaigns, marketing in general, etc) in BTC. I'm really happy with the dynamic amount though. I just heavily prefer receiving the 0.0375 weekly payout at December-January prices. LOL
Mainly the 200-250 dollar range so that 0.035 was 8 or so dollars. I only did it a few times and still have most of what was earned. I still look at my bits of piece of shit neoprene from Amazon and groan all the same.
Good for you. Campaigns in the past we're my first and only real "income" as an unemployed chap; hence I was addicted with seeing my fiat money slowly increasing weekly. 🤦
