Today is Bitcoin's Birthday 11 years old.

This is a cryptographic excerpt from bitcoins genesis block published January 3rd 2009. The genesis block is basically page number one, of an 11 year record containing every bitcoin transaction. This genesis block was the first block in bitcoin blockchain.

 

Before this 1st block, no bitcoins existed, so there were no bitcoin transactions to put into this block (outside of the block reward). So instead of containing a list of valid transactions, if contained the following message.

 

"The times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout"

 

The original bitcoin "whitepaper", a document written by Satoshi Nakimoto describing Bitcoin, first released on the cypherpunk mailing list. Cypherpunks were basically a movement of visionary crypto anarchists dating back to the 1980's. They knew before the internet was even a thing, that because of cryptography, people would be free to essentially communicate anything they wished, anonymously via the internet. They had no Idea at the time how correct they were.

 

Having this headline proved the block wasn't mined before the headline was released. and served a second purpose. ""Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout" is a nod to why he invented Bitcoin in the first place. As an alternative to government fiat currency which is systematically debased of value.

 

 

Meanwhile the FED printer go brrr (with a turbo charger now), and the dollars purchasing power shrink in an effort to prop up stocks, bonds, and other state socialism for the rich programs while you get crumbs.

@Mercerany idea what’s causing this crash? I’ve heard it’s possibly pension funds taking their recent gains into the ETF and grayscale. Also that they’re pumping the dollar on forex and there will be some serious retracting in the next few days. Imagine not knowing this was inevitable or even worse all the bags of bones that thought they were geniuses for buying at 35 last week, hopefully they won’t have to wait another 2+ years for another ath like last time. With this next stimmy btc should go brrr tho.

Retail investors just jumping in this over the last month or two, and their weak ass hands. As soon as it dips just a little, they panic. You have to shake these pussies free before moon. Bitcoin also just bounced off it's ATH ceiling before being strong enough to blast off.

Have any of you invested in recent years?

 

Also, one bitcoin is currently like 19k - the investment options only allow for purchase of a full bitcoin right? Like to get in now I would need to put in 20k?

 

I fucking remember in 2008 when fools on here were saying to buy some - I had disposable income then ......fuck.

What if you cash out after making a substantial profit knowing it's going way down then just buy the same amount all over again.....? Financial retardation, or smart and risky lol?

The question is how you know it’s going way down, sure that can be a brilliant move but also a good way to fuck up your bag, and you would want to convert to tether or usd coin so you don’t get 1099ed unnecessarily.

Theoretically you could make money timing the market. In reality though, most that use this approach lose money eventually. Bitcoin isn't like a stock where you can inspect their balance sheet and compare against market trends. It's also too easily manipulated. This is based on my anecdotal experience but I've never met a successful trader, either online, or IRL. I do know several people that did well for themselves just holding, myself included.

Ooof @poes, I spent about the same to cash out $250 worth of HEX I had in 4 separate hex stakes. Transaction failed on the 4th withdrawal gobbling up my transaction fee, so I still have a good bit staked.


I don’t see how ethereum can grow whilst the fees are this high. If fees are linked to demand... surely it will only get worse?

 

I need to read up on eth 2.0!
