Yup, miners definitely have that power. They can skip low fee transactions and won’t get punished for it. They just lose out on those fees. Even higher fee ones can get rejected, no consequences.

Honestly, I don’t see this as a good time to buy. Too much FOMO in the air. If there's any bad news, Bitcoin could tank and you’d lose. Only recommend buying if you can handle risk.

Absolutely. We have to give politicians a chance to prove themselves. Sure, they lie, but what else can we do? I think Trump could be better for crypto than Biden.

I mostly trade against USDT, probably because that’s my go-to for Bitcoin/USDT pairs. So when I analyze altcoins like Solana, I do it against SOL/USDT. It’s worked well for me so far. But I always check BTC’s price…

Good choice, mate. I can't help with contacts, but if you're looking for solid miners, check out the Bitmain Antminer S19j Pro. Great for future-proofing. If you grab three, that's around 300 Th/s, which is impressive.

I think AI is causing the current drop in mining hash rate. Miners might be switching to AI compute resources instead. But those who believe in Bitcoin's long-term potential will keep mining. Still, many will move to AI…

AI is powerful, especially for businesses. If used right, it can automate tasks and help make better decisions. But yes, jobs will be affected; it’s up to us to embrace these changes.

Self-control trumps motivation. If you can manage your emotions, you’ll find discipline in trading becomes easier. It won’t happen overnight, but stick with it.

You can mine or earn Bitcoin, but governments can't exactly ban ownership. They can certainly try to control how we spend it.

Yeah, but $180k is possible if FOMO stays alive and whales don’t dump. I personally think $150k is the peak of this cycle, but I’m not ruling anything out.

It's all about corruption and greed among politicians. They just want their perks, ignoring the impact on the everyday worker who relies on low salaries.

I doubt this will hurt Bitcoin’s price too much. People will just swap their USDT for USDC, and that’s a quick process. Sure, some might panic and withdraw, but it shouldn’t be a big deal.

So, if a single miner uses 50 MB daily, for 10 miners that’s around 500 MB, and for 100 miners, 5000 MB. Not much at all. A 1 Mb connection should work, but I’d suggest 4 Mb to avoid ping issues.

Not sure if the thread affects Bitcoin’s value, but it's definitely bringing some folks together. Especially older guys getting in on it and maybe improving their health at the same time.

Bitcoin's around $80k now, which is good. I doubt that missile news will hurt its value. It’s been climbing lately, and if it goes above $85k, the next target could be $90k soon.

BTC won’t crash just because Kamala wins. Everyone's hoping for Trump, but if Harris becomes president, it won't tank. BTC has shown resilience.

With all the economy changes, partnerships are even more appealing. Different skills can fill in gaps, especially financially.

No one can say for sure if we’ll drop back to $56k, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a drop in September. If that happens, it might be the last dip before we hit $70k.

Interesting to think about how Saylor plans to fund that 13% yield he promised. Selling Microstrategy stock? Sounds risky.

This is a critical point. Many newbies don't understand the difference between holding on exchanges vs personal wallets. Schwab's entry can only be good for crypto visibility, especially in the US.
