It isn't a good investment now and it wasn't a good investment then. Just because some people made tons of money doesn't change the risk analysis. Where are all the news stories from the absolute poo poo tons of internet people going "I'm saving up every last BTC I mine I have thousands now" from back in the day who are now super rich? There's some puff pieces here and there but in general you don't see very many of those do you? I wonder why. e: Final note: if a poo poo ton of people did get rich the IRS would be all over them and that hasn't happened either.

Well OBVIOUSLY they're still investing in bitcoin since it's going to go way up, so it would be silly to tell you all and get in their way! You ppl have no business acumen

The funny thing is too there must be TONS of early adopters who mined hundreds/thousands of coins and sold them whenever it became worth a decent amount total Like for a lot of people I bet that was when it was $100, or hell even $10 if you had mined thousands of them There are probably way more people like that who are miserable because if the amount of bitcoins they could have right now than there are people who mined them or bought them for pennies and sat on them and kept them safe

Looks like they caught someone who laundered mt gox stolen coins. It's rumored he was connected with BTC-e because BTC-e vouched for him and based on the movement of coins he had some sort of special relationship with them.

Some people just realized from the get-go that it's janky as all hell, would scale like poo poo, lose every libertarian-fever-dream feature due to the inevitable involvement of regulatory agencies and ultimately solve what few problems it actually solves in such a grossly inefficient way that it becomes no longer worth it even to speculators, rip-off artists and money launderers.

If y'all are sad that you're not making as much as few weeks ago, or your graphics card was never good enough to make any money in the first place, there are other options for having your computer devices pretend to do work for giftcards. Mostly pretending to watch videos with advertisements. Since the necessary computing power is low even phones and tablets can get into it. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3820124 You can even have a dodgy milkcrate style mining farm. Rexxed posted:Last week I setup my spare phones as a YooLotto farm (10 phones is the max right now) which can hang on the wall with some velcro, zip ties, command hooks and a plastic plant crate thing. It's either going to be a good idea or a good way to drop 10 phones on the ground at the same time.

Tenzarin posted:How would someone cash out 40 million dollars worth of bitcoins? Those ATMs? Theoretically they'd just sell it on the exchange. Realistically that would tank the market, trigger a ton of stop sells, and the whole sale would probably wind up being worth way less than their on paper balance. It just happened to ETH.

Now up on Smashwords (I sold a copy there!!) in ePub which includes the forthcoming paperback's back cover. Also uploaded to Draft2Digital because why the hell not. Paperback trundling through the CreateSpace process, will probably be out before the heat death of the universe (I wanna check the author proof copy first). More ongoing updates on the home thread!

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:I transferred 0.1 bitcoinz to a private wallet So are you printing out the key? Are you memorizing it? Is it a brainwallet thing protected by the extremely secure passphrase "kuato"? Are you storing the key on a laptop with all the ports epoxy'd? Are you storing the key on a USB stick under a birdbath? I'm just wondering how regular folk keep their money secure in these crazy futuristic days of super-convenient internet money.

my attempted explainer of this ridiculous bullshit, please respond with querulousness CoinDesk is liveblogging the tyre fire. Since the split, BTC has had four blocks mined, and BCC has had 0. GOSH WHO COULD EVER HAVE PREDICTED THAT with almost all the hashpower telling BCC to gently caress off
