Honestly, Solo mining is not that bad. I got a block in 2 weeks.........but it was a BCH tho

To solo mine with any consistency in these times? around 5-10PH at the very least.

But if you wanted to play the lottery maybe 1PH would be a good start. That is IF you got enough cash to front electricity for 2-3 months.

So I shorted 2 BTC as a hedge against a down market at 8.1k because I couldn't access my cold storage for a week (was out of country). I came back to 4btc lol. But overall I think I still have the same amount of USD. Damn it I wish I wasn't reasonable all the time and just shorted everything. Would have been rich.

No, no sell orders. If I was that worried about profits I'd have gotten a different job ages ago, but greed is not among my motivations.
The majority of my BTC savings, about 90% of my capital at present, were taken in when coin was well above $10k. I think I can out-of-pocket what I need for a first batch of something new without having to dip too heavily into BTC savings, and hopefully revenue from the first batch would more than pay for the second and so on. And then when BTC goes back up after a while it'll start to cancel out all the ridiculous losses from Christmas season sales at $15k.

One of the good things about hosting others' miners instead of mining on my own is I'm insulated somewhat from the spikes. I get paid the same amount every month regardless. Hosting just covers building overhead though, not payroll or R&D or anything else.

So whose idea was it to tank the exchange some more? Bitcoin's price drop in the last ten days has cancelled out all my sales revenue from the last three months, right before I needed it for the next project.

Sorry, I cashed out $2k worth of BTC at $7100 near its peak yesterday and must have killed the bull run....

Didn't have any sell orders in there, just to protect your profits?

Depends on when you got into this.
Depends on depth of your pockets.
Depends on what you have on the line.

Well if you bought at 19k and still haven't sold...the upward price should have some what settled your fears. Like gambling, don't bet more than you can afford to lose!

True, but those replying here don't seem like the panicky types was all I was trying to convey.

Pretty much rebounded by now. Threads like are pointless, don't think anyone here is going to panicked by fluctuation or bear market.

Small dip from that Winklevoss ETF being denied.

I think it speaks well towards a bullish market that the Gemini ETF FUD did not do much damage.

20-25% diff spike boyz

Yep a nice big jump. Must be some new tech coming online again. I don’t know why one would even throw a 100k at it at this point. Mining at small scale is all but dead. Don’t fool your self.

Currently 8 min block times and 43exa hash. https://reddit.app.link/Mzkmk8SpMO
