Anyone who hasn't made their riches and cashed them out already has probably missed the boat. More greed > more crashes > possible gov't regulation > big players win out eventually.
Just my prediction, but that's all I got.

Bitcoin, the largest virtual currency, is a particularly voracious consumer of resources because new Bitcoins are distributed in a kind of lottery where each ticket is purchased with electricity.
Bitcoin miners compete for the coins by submitting answers to difficult math problems. Instead of solving the problems, miners use computers to submit a flood of guesses. This can be lucrative: Each Bitcoin is currently valued at about $10,550.
>> Ender, don't you pride yourself on being rational and analytical?
I posted a ridiculous quote from Bill Gates made yesterday about bitcoin killing people. I thought everyone realized I was being silly. I don't think Judit is a murderer. Bitcoin isn't killing people anymore than cash. I can't believe I have to type this.
Bill Gates made a weird statement suggesting that cryptocurrencies are directly killing people as they aid criminals, drug dealers and terrorists in laundering money.
Looking to build a mining rig but still not certain. Zcash looks very promising for this. So im learning a lot about that.
Also his token called part has an incentive for staking currently 5%. I'm using a raspberry pi to cold stake my coins. So that was a cool little project, other than that not much.
Interesting. I wonder if cops every think mining rigs are grow ops because the power being used changes dramatically. The helicopter FLIR would show heat too.
I thought everyone used GPUs to mine ethereum. Are you looking at another because the complexity increased and it's not as profitable? Are there collocation services available with cheaper power than where you live?
Yes eth is getting a lot harder to mine and soon they will switch to POS as well.
Zcash uses Equihash algorithm making it ideal to mine with NVIDIA gpus.
But it's still a gamble. Lucky the resale of the GPUs is high so after a year or two (the the block rewards half in 2020) you can get back around 40% of the total rig investment.
Where i live at .085 Kwh that rig (8 1080 i s drawing 2000Watts ) will use around 4$ a day with returns of 2 - 3 coins a month depending on the pool being used. https://whattomine.com/coins
For sure. Many people who profited and did the best in the last 2-3 years are in for a rude awakening if they didn't set aside enough to cover the taxes + penalties when they come due.
Depending on what exchange you used and how long ago... the gov't has direct reporting of data from some exchanges. They will no doubt push for access to any and all that they can get going forward. That's if your bank hasn't already given you up. Financial reporting laws are going to bite some folks in the ass, no doubt. I assume real soon. It just a matter of where they choose to set the bar for actively going after people and opening audits/investigations.
Here's a new one: Crypto Cask: Whisky-based cryptocurrency
Each coin translates to physical ownership of a share in every cask of maturing whisky in the portfolio, which the company says includes old and rare malts aged between 21 and 50 years.
Imagine the psychological toll that hating Bitcoin must take. It comes with moments of ever-so-short respite and then grueling losses as it goes from strength to strength. Bitcoin – or its spiritual successor – will literally never go away. Ideas are immortal.
Justice Department officials say that though the proliferation of cryptocurrency and virtual currency exchanges represent innovation, the trend has also been accompanied by money laundering, ransomware and other crimes. The Justice Department last year announced the formation of the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team in recognition of the trend.
Anyone here knowledgeable about creating NFT art collections and selling them? I've been reading articles little by little.
I have a folder ready of digital abstract art created by my cat Daphne (marketing hook). I'm completely serious, but need to figure out a clever brand name, something better than "Kitty art by Daphne". Zoner ideas are most welcome!
