i bought my 2 kids both an gpu eth miner to educate them into crypto as it beomes their world, and i want to prepare them on their future.... Better just gave them the money they costed...
So you're mining an altcoin and you want guarantees about bitcoin's future, right?
FLMAO!! Capitulation starts! Sorry a classic, really, but ya seriously @ dutchlincoln, hodl_2015 gave you a small gem with his post. Pick yourself up man, or, ya know... sell and get that instant relief you're craving. Someone out there will be thankful for it
Good luck dude, hope you're not being irresponsible with capitol needed in the short term.
Oh, i do appriciate the positive feedback of some, and i puke on the feedback of some self-acclaimed guru's with "steel balls".
Just like all newbies (yes, i know i am and i try to learn every day in order to lose that sign on my forehead) i just need some reassuring FACTS BASED info that we're still on the right track.
As some of those steel asses dont understand, is that its easy to look backward, but almost impossible to predict forward, especially with so little expirience. So what do you do? You ask. Oh, yeah, real tough talk to call it whining... C'mon, we're not at kindergarden here i thought? I share a weak moment, in order to get some good feedback, like the chart. I've been puzzling for 2 hours on it, analysing all the dots and so on.
As regards to a strategy: im holding since march this year. I bought my equipment in June 2017, exchanged some for SHA256 wich is 99% of what i own right now, and every week in december and january i sold my mined BTC to earn my equipment back. Everything i own is payd for. Everything i mine is profit (cheap power).
I DO have a strategy, but you base a strategy on what you know, and as i already said; im a newbee, so i need to adjust my strategy here and there, according to new insights i try to aquire here... Instead of hearing that i'm whining... Every now and then i'm just a bit frustrated that i see my efforts go down the drain. And not a little, but quite some. Ups and downs i can handle, as i'm in for the mid term, and a little for the long term. I dont have a thick elephant skin yet, wich makes me capable of ignoring those immense drops in value. Thats experience i still need to grow.
Chocolate-Balls...
I really dont understand. Me as a person, love to explain others if they need info or explanation on something i have knowledge of. From that point of view, if i dont know, or need info, i read, and when i cant find what im looking for, i ask. Its not a shameful thing to do. Not asking: thats stupid... never understood the fun of kicking someone into the mud...
i think it has something to do with being f**cked in childhood, and feeling the need to do the same now i guess... If those annoying types put me on a ignore: pleeeeease do. To all the others here: Thanks you for your contributions, explanations, graphs, links, charts, time, effort, etcetera. It IS being appreciated, thank you.
