I deposit a small sum into exchanges. If something goes wrong, I won’t be wrecked because it’s cash I can afford to lose. Always withdrawing after closing positions seems like a hassle with those high fees. I think it’s…

Nice, love the home solo mining angle! What ASIC chip are you using? I heard v2 is using a 5nm process, that’s pretty high-tech! Efficiency looks fine when you consider the whole setup.

He won’t show proof because he’s just talking. If AI really boosted performance, more pros would be using it. They stick to their own strategies for a reason.

I’m on the fence about this. When I started, I made good money right away. Maybe it’s different now with markets being so unpredictable and flooded with options.

I’m currently mentor-less and okay with it. Early on, I followed some online advice and it worked out, but the market’s really changed since then. Having a mentor could still help if you’re just starting out.

The media loves throwing around these predictions. If oil hits $180, it’s not just that. Bitcoin's trend might go down regardless of oil. Traders might hesitate due to the uncertain global economy.

Lol, it’s funny. Ten years between Mt. Gox and FTX and people still trust exchanges blindly. Even with all the collapses, no real lessons learned.

Yeah, emotions play a huge role. If you're feeling anxious after a loss, it's better to just walk away.

I just hold onto my Bitcoin if it dips. No point in selling low. Since I’ve made profits on ETH and SOL, I’m okay waiting it out longer.

Actually, CKPool doesn’t work with Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 and up due to changes in the GetBlockTemplate. I fixed that and posted it here: https://github.com/skot/ckpool.

Run CKPool on your node, and you can use any stratum miner with it.

Who even is this person buying all that Bitcoin? A White House insider maybe? Prices are dropping again below $79k, so $75k is looking pretty likely. Retailers panicking usually makes the market worse.

Economic issues vary widely. Poor countries need investment and better management to attract it. Rich countries need more people due to low birth rates.

None of my friends really care about Bitcoin. Some have it, but it’s a total no-go for discussions. I guess it’s awkward since there’s so much negative news here. Doesn’t matter if they don’t understand it; I still hang…

DAI could be the most reliable one, but its low market cap makes it less popular. Traders often prefer USDT or USDC for quick trades.

Honestly, it’s a tiny amount compared to the overall trip cost. If most of that helps with insurance and infrastructure, count me in!

Receiving payments from signature campaigns can be DCA if you hold them long enough. If you just cash out, it’s not an investment.

Yeah, totally! I’ve seen those signal groups too. When I followed one, they took huge hits during market dips. But they still pulled in cash from other members' fees. It’s like they’re cushioned by our losses.

Had a bad experience with alcohol while trading. Made a big mistake once. Alcohol made me reckless with my stop-loss.

I get that trading can be beneficial if you know what you’re doing. But honestly, for beginners, holding Bitcoin seems safer than going after altcoins. They’re just way less predictable.
