Just got an Ender 3d pro here to print some parts and the like for the miners and cars. Overall I am impressed as hell, thoughts:

Get the Pro, it has a really nice magnetic pad so you can peel off parts more easily and a heated bed.
And a better power supply, no issues with this one even when printing all night long.
Buy the $15 extruder upgrade, the plastic one that comes with it is cheap and a metal one is NICE

That's about it. Good quality device for a few hundred bucks....

Pretty serious 3d printing hobbyist here.  Have owned a few machines.  Since you are talking about printing for fine detail the resin printers are going to be a different class.  But since you bring up the Ender for the other stuff, I had to chime in on that sort of printer...

I have heard nothing but super good things about the Creality Ender, and I naturally an uber-cheapskate.  But I went with the Prusa i3, mainly to build it as a project with my daughter.

From my understanding you do not make many compromises for less than 1/3d the price with the Creality.  It is nearly as fine a printer as the i3.

BUT.

It was worth the extra money to behold the feat of engineering that the i3 is.  It is an amazing thing.  Beautiful design.  Really really awesome engineering.  It is built from parts that it has printed.  Joseph Prusa is an eccentric purist visionary and his products reflect it.

Advantages for paying the extra:

you get arguably STILL the best platform for the price range
you get a large passionate community
there are tons of mods and projects aimed at this platform.  I have printed a couple cool drawers for mine.
the raspi integration is cool.
but most of all you BUILD your printer.

That last one is important because no matter what printer you buy you will be needing to understand deeply how it works because these things need adjustment, maintenance and tweaking.  Having built my printer I know it inside and out, and if something acts funny, I know where all the screws are etc.

That said, I might also get an Ender as a second machine... 3d printing is very fun.

Not sure if I want melted faces just yet.

But if we were to get to 70k by the end of may my hands would become weak.

As it would be nicer to sell at 70k+ vs 29k or 31k.

I don't like the big swings  that much.

But I have determined to buy low and buy dips no matter what.



Since I am older (64) with no kids holding at large gains is harder to do for me.

$75k imminent!

Does anyone get the feeling that we might be about to see a face-melting rise now that the FUD has shaken all the weak hands? I'm pretty excited to see what develops over the next few hours, days and weeks.

Explanation

Well a nice move over 40k for today would be a start.

Hoping for it.

Newegg is offering a 10% discount if you buy with virtual coins today.

And

 BTC   +15.67%


 LTC       +21.75%
 Doge    +13.52%
 Eth       +23.79%

 all rallied.

Since I mine all of the above I watch them carefully.

Tonight I will be cashing in some ltc to fiat and btc.

Seems like this move will have some legs too.

I'm sure all those sellers were Chinese leveraged (and non leveraged) traders, Chinese miners, and general weak hands. They've buggered off now, the Chinese ones for good maybe, so we should be going back up.

This is good. Very good.

Most people will only be able to afford 2BTC on their own.... some 1BTC... unlucky ones, 0BTC...

Explanation

Apparently so, Nic Carter seems to be pretty sure on this one, we’ll find out for sure ourselves over the coming weeks I guess.


Nic Carter disputes this with data from one of the on-chain mobs. Apparently the miners (Chinese miners) really sold out, see his recent video for the rundown it’s only 20 min and well worth it.

TIL 1 BTC = 1 testicle

wonder why exchanges dont have that pair yet.

I would rather say: the next two months are critical. 

two WEEKS?? man i got things to do. think we can compress the drama down to like, two days instead?

I'll have to wait for the weekly glassnode report, but it seems to me that neither miners, nor LT hodlers were involved in the last week's crash. I don't know from where PlanB is getting this info, but most probably it is true. There are no signs of changing the general mood to a bear market among the LT hodlers, unlike the 2018's crash from 20K to 6K in a month. The things may change quickly, however, so the next 2 weeks will be crucial for the determination whether we are still in a bull market. I really hope this is the case, because I don't want to wait 4 more years to get past 70K. Today's recovery 20%+ (oh, look, we are now above 37K) is a step in the right direction. If the price recovers to 50K+ in the next 2 weeks, as if nothing happened, that will be awesome. Then we can expect not only 70K but 100K to fall this year. And this is where the weak hands capitulation plays a big role. Instead of selling on a profit at some random resistance above 50K, making it very difficult to break, they've already sold their coins. So these potential resistance lines will be overcome faster and with less volume.

Explanation

So it's just another shake-out to convince people to sell their Bitcoin cheap, before the bull run continues. Makes sense
