Can I eventually upgrade my #BitAxe or do I need to buy a new one?

2024-08-14 03:14:53

Just ordered a #BitAxe to start solo mining! Can’t wait to set it up. Not expecting to make much, but this and my node allow me to support the #Bitcoin network in more ways.

While I read and listen to Tim’s of #Bitcoin content, I always remind myself that pretty much no one really knows anything about what Bitcoin prices are going to do. I don’t care about their trading experience, or quant shit, or charts. No ind truly knows shit.

Do people who are selling #Bitcoin do no research? There is a tsunami of money pouring into Bitcoin right now.

2024-06-06 19:55:09

Seeing the price of things continue to rise, and get to levels so clearly higher than just a year or two ago pisses me off. Say buying eggs for sandwich for $3 when I remember them being $1.50, or many other examples.
So I was thinking, if I start repricing these things into Sats (in my head), that with the ongoing growth of #Bitcoin against the dollar, I may actually feel better as I’ll be seeing prices going DOWN in Sats all the time, vs up in dollars.
Anyone do this? If so, how do you make quick conversions in your head, and how do you do it with the ever changing price of Bitcoin?

I think his commentary on unintended consequences, and his that can apply to the base layer is spot on. Too much at risk now, and years of successfully operating, to just make changes without a lot of thought. Changing the other layers makes more sense on the whole.

“We're at the end of a vast, multi-faceted con of internet users, where ultra-rich technologists tricked their customers into building their companies for free. And while the trade once seemed fair, it's become apparent that these executives see users not as willing participants in some sort of fair exchange, but as veins of data to be exploitatively mined as many times as possible, given nothing in return other than access to a platform that may or may not work properly.”

I feel more confident than ever in the ongoing success of #Bitcoin. Just realizing how important it is, and how many people are yet to get it. Decoupled from any government, company, person etc is money and property in its natural form.

That’s cool, but seems somewhat unlikely that someone who is spoon fed Bitcoin in this way will have any real conviction about its value, or have anything more than lettuce hands. They’ve done almost no work to understand it or build personal convictions about its value.

I find it amazing how many people who write about Bitcoin on other platforms (especially) don’t realize that “this time it’s different”. True of the entirety of Bitcoin, and perhaps even this cycle. The ETFs changed everything, and more to come with FASB etc on the horizon.

I find myself being in a bit of post-ETF funk.
I love that this will bring #Bitcoin to the masses (and boost the price), but I’m also feeling a sense of loss at being an early(ish) adopter, now that there will be so many who are “into it”.
It’s a bit like loving a band before they become hugely popular.

The importance of running a #Bitcoin node continues to increase.
With Traditional Finance moving into the space via ETFs, big changes are ahead.
The importance of more independent nodes in the Bitcoin network continues to increase, to ensure strong decentralization over the long term.
It’s not too hard to envision a future where TradFi uses their huge marketing budgets, and government’s own influence, to try to convince miners and node runners to vote for things that seem like good ideas, but that ultimately benefit corporate interests, and not things like self sovereignty.
If you have not yet set up a node, please consider doing so. The cost is reasonable, as is the effort. Plus, there are lots of articles, videos, and people able to help you make this a reality.

Excellent. Makes sense to me, even though I want to protect the base layer at all costs.
This also lines up with some of Saylor’s views, which also resonate with me.
It’s an interesting conundrum, but I don’t see how censoring is a good move, despite the dislike for these things.
In the end, I’m trusting that Bitcoin is strong and resilient enough to handle these types of things, given its myriad amazing aspects.

“People won't do the efforts to learn about the new opportunity they potentially have in running their own self-regulated noncustodial solutions.”
I disagree. While many won’t, it’s hard for me to believe some won’t decide to dig deeper, and go down the rabbit hole and then be convinced to hold their own in a non custodial fashion.
Given how amazing Bitcoin is, and multifaceted, I’m convinced many will choose to HODL after learning about this from ETFs etc.

2023-12-26 20:30:50

I think they are going to market and sell the living shit out of these ETFs, and in doing so greatly “legitimize” Bitcoin to the masses. This will grow adoption of all kinds, including personal HODLing of Keys.

2023-12-26 17:40:19

For anything to be mass adopted, it has to be easy to use and having to understand the tech has to be totally optional. Nostr can get here, but there is simply more work to do before the apps are really consumer friendly.
