The poll is bullish as fark. Who here really thinks we're going to see $20k in three days? Tera?

Um...ok, but thats not what i meant...boats as in the eth mega yacht boat, yeah ?
Shit nm...ive had too many ....lol

This guy just opened a mining farm in Malmö, Sweden http://www.skd.se/2017/11/07/bitcoin-fabrik-oppnade-i-hamnen/
 And there is one in an actual mine in northern Sweden, and the old KNC miner rigs are still working. They were bought from the bankruptcy estate by a entrepreneur who knows nothing about mining but a lot about business. He lets people rent the rigs and he insulated the place and harnessed the heat and now sells it to the neighboring industries in the area. So more and more mining is going on in Europe, at least in Sweden.

Best paying job I ever had.

A lot of linux distros have md5, sha1, and even sha256 as well as GPG signed messages sometimes.

Even MS has hashes for their images. I got my key from an educational institution (school or colleges usually have some guy that has MSDN access).

As for uninstalling Windows 10, of course I can't do that, as I did a clean install of it, not an upgrade.

Yeah... it's a decent gig.

Yeah.. to each his own, and sometimes, we may be able to tolerate a little bit of something like putting less than 10% on an echange, and still getting a decent amount of benefit by having some of that diversification and interaction with the bitcoin community and with the bitcoin prices, etc..

In recent times, I had really considered my selling BTC on the way up as a kind of downside insurance program - even though in practice, it seems to have caused me to accumulate a few more coins too...  especially when we get 20%, 30% and 40% dips, like we had gotten around 10 of them during calendar year 2017.

 But in the end, I am not really exclusively focused on the side-benefit of building and accumulating coins, but more largely upon creating some level of insurance for myself... and maybe in the end, I would make more money (value) by just keeping everything off line and HODLing to dee death?, perhaps? 

I have already experienced that hacks can cost quite a large number of coins and even still significant amounts of gained profits and such value might not ever be recovered into overall BTC holdings (or the comparative benefits of an ALL HODLing strategy). 

Maybe I do not focus too much about risks of losses (even though I do take various precautionary measures and even increase several of my precautionary measures), because there has been so much BTC price appreciation in the past two years, so in some sense, I feel as if I am playing with house money when it comes to the quantity of value that I have tied up through various exchange mechanisms? 

By the way, even though I have a certain level of confidence and stubbornness when it comes to following the terms of my own authorized BTC trading strategy, I am still the author of such authorization, and therefore, I am NOT locked into what I have already decided, and at any time, I can tweak or completely transform my strategy or abandon it, if I so choose, especially if I start to perceive that the costs of such participation are beginning to outweigh the benefits, from a personal viewpoint.

I'm given to understand boat ownership is overrated. Fancy cars are kind of a pain in the ass too, if you ask me. Fix the lube, jiff the skip, hoist the crankshafts. Uff. Forget it.

If you claim it on a phone wallet it never touches your computer.

Bet you saw the other 20 or so  now mega yachts too....like me....sux dont it?

LOL, Now I've got coke zero in my nose.

Let's see the rationale for why it is a tax event with an example:

- You hold 1 BTC you bought for $1000
- Some time later you decide to buy dash
- Dash at that time has a "fair market price" of ie $100 whilst BTC is not at $5000
- If you were to buy 50 dash with FIAT for $5000 that would NOT be a taxable event (you need to take note and keep records of the buy though, for the future).
- But you instead decide to use the 1 BTC to buy the 50 dash. So, in effect, you have "SOLD" your 1 BTC at currently HIGHER price than what you bought it. You have had a realized $4900 cap gain that you "should" report -because that's not automaticly reported- and pay for it.

SO it is no different than just selling the BTC and using it for any other spendings/investments.

Of course you can choose not to report it. Maybe they will find out or not. It also depends on how much we are talking about, etc etc.... Oh, and if some day those dash skyrocket and you sell them.... How are you gonna prove when and how did you bought it in the first place? With which money? Oh, it was with BTC you "sold" but didn't report... hmmmm....

It sucks yeah....

But I have to go online to download the site/program that creates the wallets.

I saw that boat. I chose to stay in this one. No big woop.

missing the boat and didnt buy ETH at sub 10 $?  

ETH is an exploding clown car. So now he cares? There isn't a worthwhile dApp now, and there wasn't even the hint of one when he created this mess. It has no use case. It never did. He should feel bad.

Exactly the usualy private customer pays 0,23 €/kwh - we basically pay the electricity for the big companies which pay around 0,10 € or less to be competitive  

...or if you make a deal with somebody who will mine for you at a better electricity rate.
