Bitcoin

It can keep dropping until June for me, I figure I don't want to take any money out of our actual account but June is my birthday and family back home normally paypal me a little bit so I figure instead of that getting spent on pizza I'll pop a bit on crypto.
If for no other reason than to see what happens.
Curious about home mining, farming etc from PC, laptop or phone. Bit confusing mine you.

Good time for buying.
I was up 300% last week. Today, not that much anymore. So I'm getting more cryptos, because now seems the best time.

I am on the fence. I am not sure what the future of BTC holds. The fact that a singular tweet from one person can crash this by 30% is of slight concern to many.
Why are you convinced of its future?

I am kicking myself for not starting mining when I first heard of it. At the tie, the electricity to run your laptop for a week was higher than the value of the 2-3 bitcoins you could mine in the time. sigh.
 
Back in the day I nearly put 20 euro in a wallet to buy a game only to find said game in a desk so I never did. Who knew, oh well.
Now I just want to find something I can run to mine or farm on a bog standard PC or laptop purely as a hobbyist type of thing, I have no interest in buying high end graphics cards or cpu's. I'm guessing a mining pool may be an option, still researching not overly concerned if it's viable I just want it to be doable.
 
I read an article on BTC back in '07 or '08 was it. I didn't own my own computer at the time, so I asked my roommate if he'd be interested in using his to mine Bitcoin. Seemed like a sure thing to me. He always left his PC running anyway, and worst case scenario it falls flat and we're out nothing. Back then it was as simple as go to the sit, download and install a program on your computer for free, and just leave it running and connected to the internet. My roommate was not thrilled with the idea of experimenting with his baby, though, and said no.
I give him crap about it to this day.

yeah, similar to my thoughts then. I just was stupid enough to think electricity costs and value of the coins made it a senseless excersize.

But to be fair, I used to own RBS at 1 cent and sell at 2 cent or something like that; I would have sold mined coind once they hit a few dollars probably.
 
Charles Ponzi would be mortified with the concept of cryptos. Imagined value that changes value by the minute. I'm glad I'm too old to be part of it. P.T. was right, but he had no idea that a whole generation would be involved.

I am not at all convinced. Bitcoin to me is a passed station. At least for large percentual profits; it's stabilizing.
I'm doing minor coins for minor prices. The increase is less steep, way fewer spikes and less panic. Sure, they are affected by the big waves of BTC and ETH, but overall it seems more stable.
Even in this weird dip situation, I'm up 70% compared to when I started.
 
I’ve always been curious about Bitcoin and it’s spin-offs but never dared get into the whole thing.

Me too. I mined bitcoin at the very start, deleted it all and spent a couple years pondering about my 10-20.000 euro loss because I deleted 50 cents worth of BTC.

I got back into it in january, for less than a hundred bucks. Spread my chances, and everything has just been rising ever since. The gains on 100 bucks aren't insane, but it's a fun game and I'm getting a good return of investment.

If you don't sell, you're not losing anything.

you are not gaining anything either!

Crypto still outperfoms my bank if the crypto net gain is 0.
So technically, I lose less by having my money stashed in weird coins than in hard withdrawable euros at the bank.
Weird times.
 
There are thousands of stocks available which are not spectacular, but do appreciate over time. Sooner, or later, the central banks and national IRS agencies will put the kibosh on unreported funny money that somebody else creates and is free from taxes. When the music stops there will be few, if any chairs that aren't electric.
 
Any recommendations for a trading platform? As guess if I did look into it further I’d need some sort of buy/sell software. Preferably something that deals in more than just Bitcoin under crypto currencies.

I am not that rich that I am on negative interest, lol

I have a very average-lower-side income, but my bank charges me a slight negative interest. On top of the +/- €2.50 monthly fee, I'm losing money by having it in the bank.

Do you have a checking account (or is that a question that shows my age)?
