@johnpfreem@DerekCressman There’s kind of a trade-off between the money it cost to supply the electricity to break the code, and the price of bitcoin. But apparently, China doesn’t give a shit, and is not allowing people to mine there, and for some reason, those people think Texas would be a good idea.
@johnpfreem@DerekCressman Bitcoin is like gold; you have to mine it, but instead of pick axes and dynamite, you use codebreaker algorithms and a shit ton of electricity. Whenever somebody breaks a code that is seriously difficult to break, they get some bitcoin for their efforts 1/2
@cryptorecruitr You’re a good person who cares. This puts you in a rare class. Engaging with the haters is a phase I went through several years ago; it got out of hand. But when I thought about myself dying someday, I knew I wasn’t going to look back with pride at all the haters I had owned.
@Vilux__@cryptorecruitr To be fair, Dan often talks about corrections in his videos. I could easily point out a dozen examples. All those guys talk about up and down scenarios. Normal market cycle corrections - even very volatile ones - are fine; it’s these market manipulations that are so difficult
@cryptorecruitr And that Miami conference…wow. “Decentralized” doesn’t necessarily mean “leaderless”. Reasonable, non-greedy people need to wrest the narrative from the two extremes before this thing crashes and burns.
@cryptorecruitr The “it’s a normal dip” theory is fine, except that timing and consistency of the Elon dips is suspect. You wouldn’t build a fortress on sand, and I’m trying to find a rational way to fold this into a wise strategy for myself and my family. This is unforeseen and unforeseeable.
@TheCryptoLark Imagine owning Bitcoin when the whole economy enters meltdown. Remember, crypto has never experience a massive market disruption even as seen in 2008.
