Sad story. Also, so much for Britain's gun control.

Why the beginning of the end? I thought that was good news?

@Anthony Sealy - MO haha, yeah I heard BTC is cracking the 10k resistence?

posting current setup

using an i7 processor cause i happened to have one but you can add 2 more cards and it would still be under 3k

1070 cards btw

@Deleted User that's awesome man, do you make money with that thing? How much/long did it take to set up?

took me awhile to set up cause first time moving it from a closed case (my original computer) to this. doing it again with all the parts would take me an hour or two. longest part is setting up the case.

The Hodlomor

@Deleted User great pic, thanks! what are you mining?

XMR Monero.

going to only be mining privacy coins and right now xmr is profitable. might go for electroneum in the future.

Come back Internet money. 😥

@micbwilli How's it going?

I lost a little. I only had $100 in. It got up to $140, but now it's $83. It's not a big deal or anything, but it makes me sad that it's going down. Is the bounce back coming soon?

@micbwilli you can't count on any bounce back soon. It could even be years. It has a lot more way down it can still go.

This time last year it was about 1000 dollars

@micbwilli you were wise to only put in money you could afford to lose. I know it sounds weird to say "good job" when someone loses money, but I think by only putting in money you could afford to lose you made a good investing decision, the luck factor of this just didn't play out this time.

Chris ur a cryptocuck

Gambling is inherently white

>he still thinks this is gambling and not just a bull market

@Deleted User I took my BTC and invested it in USD, now I can cash out for twice as much BTC

I'm taking the plunge into cryptos. Just opened a coinbase account and ready to push an inital $1,000 into it (yes, I can assume the risk.) Hold tight while the line trends downward or buy now at dropped prices?

@Argument of Perigee I would buy and sell in fractions. Start with 20%, see where prices go, if you like it you can put in another 30%. Spooked one day? Don't panic, instead sell a fraction of what you have. I find buying and selling fractions of my target amounts to be a good way to manage my investments (and emotions).

Good advice! I've certainly used (and also failed to use) that strategy with other investments. I'll simmer on it while I go for a run now and make a decision on pushing an amount of Jew debt notes for crypto coins. Thanks, Brother!

I pumped it already

no money left to put in

@Argument of Perigee "Jew Debt Notes" lol

Where's the lie?

When's the funeral for BTC?

Ironically the lower price of BTC is solving one of the biggest problems it had: high transaction fees. Since the transaction fees are denoted in BTC, if BTC goes down then the fee is less in terms of dollars

True

I divested from Bitcoin, but I still have altcoins

Which, unfortunately, still depend on Bitcoin

@Jacob yeah that's why I never got into altcoins besides a little ethereum, for any of the altcoins older than a week, 90% of the time their movement was correlated with Bitcoin.

So I just stuck with BTC
