If you've got the space and power, maybe start hosting for others. Use those profits to fund your own miners later on. Could be a smoother start for you.

You think businesses can thrive there without getting hit by gangsters? The risk is insane, it’s not just about losing money but potentially losing your life. People depend on the current system, changing it means…

I’m with you on that. I don’t care about the miners as long as they stay decentralized. Government mining could lead to censorship, and that’s a no-go.

If the bull run is over, I’m still not pleased. I wanted at least a double from the last ATH, like $129k, but $124k isn’t far off.

Yeah, if you hold long enough, you’ll see profits. Even if you bought at a peak, just wait a few years. Bitcoin is known to reach new highs, so just chill.

I did sell some. Sold at 115k, then 105k, then 125k. But I’m still holding the bulk for the long haul. People say this bull run's over, but I’m more about sticking to historical patterns.

Here’s the upscaled version of your image: https://ibb.co/Sf4VDGL.

Man that’s deep. Like, if poor kids grow up in a supportive vibe, they can get lazy, right? Feeling grateful can sometimes mean losing motivation to push for more. I mean, sometimes the push from struggle helps you…

In 2017, we saw a drop from 7400 to 5900, about 20%. In 2021, it was from 38000 to 32000, around 15%. I doubt we’ll see 70000 again this year or next. Bitcoin's bull phase isn’t just a quick spike before crashing.

Humans are wired to want more, not because we're ungrateful, but because we want to elevate our living standards. Scarcity is what gives something its value. If everything was abundant, what would be special about it?

Yeah, I asked support from a couple of exchanges and they all said they don’t have any measures for addiction. It’s wild. They just don’t care about the losses. All they care about is their profits, and margin trading?…

One major risk is frozen assets. Most stablecoins can be frozen even in your wallet. Plus, if a stablecoin isn’t backed by reliable insurance, that’s a red flag for many investors. Personally, I think USDT has high risk…

Your country’s tax policy matters. Some don’t tax foreign income if you play by the rules where you earn it. If you’re in Dubai, you might just say you earned your BTC there.

I think it’ll hit $100K too. I’m setting a sell order for when it crosses that mark. But I’m not convinced it’ll stop there. If it hits $100K, could be a good time to cash out.

So I just found out that Bitmain has added a new control board for the S19 series miners. They previously used Xilinx, BeagleBone, and AMLOGIC boards. Now there’s the CV1835 board, which looks like it’s designed…

You only live once, right? But there’s a line between enjoying life and being reckless. It’s important to find that balance.

Honestly, I’m a bit shocked at how fast Bitcoin’s climbing. Where’s the mainstream media? No buzz outside crypto circles. I bet more people will notice once we hit $100k.

I get it, but there's already a thread on this topic. Maybe we should stick to that one?

I found an airflow calculator on this article. It’s complicated, but rule of thumb: 1 square foot per S19 seems to work. So for 100 miners, that’s 100 sq. ft or 10 m². If your windows aren’t cutting it, consider awning…
