Can recommend. Make sure you have it configured to run when the grid is out as your installer may not think that through.

I recall some noise a while back about PV systems having to power down when the grid was down if they were connected to the grid. I don't recall if there was some kind of exception if you had the correct isolation or not though.

Quick summary: A normal grid tie system cannot function without the grid to act as a storage system and modulator. The 60 cycle AC sync signal is provided by the grid, and the inverter syncs to that.

However you can buy a more expensive inverter that can provide its' own 60 cycle reference signal and use a battery pack as a storage/modulator. The "Sunny Island" from SMA is an example of this. When grid power goes down they switch to the batteries and run a portion of your house like a large UPS.

That's why my plans after taking profit near the peak of this cycle includes an autonomous photovoltaic power supply for the house., maybe coupled with wind energy.

What about a propane or diesel home generator? Wouldn't that be an easier/cheaper solution?

Well, i was thinking about that too, but the neighbors would likely kill me for having this thing running for days (they use firewood) and i just can't sleep in noisy environments. It's a nightmare on intercontinental flights. As soon as i recognize the noise cancellation of the ears at the moment i'm falling asleep, i wake up because the absence of turbine noise is raising some kind of alert. Maybe i shouldn't have tried to forcefully stay awake for quite some time, in an episode of my past life. IDK Huh

Sorry, drifting off topic a little...
The big plus of the PV cells is that you feed the unused power into the supply network, which saves and sometimes even generates some good amount of money.
It just has to be big enough to run the house on a semi-clouded day. A dry, floating room (room in a room), dug into the ground for a tank and generator that could run for days would cost much more, but this would be the minimum.

Can recommend. Make sure you have it configured to run when the grid is out as your installer may not think that through.

Motley and fools got separated, then reacquainted.

The Motley Fool really sound like a bunch of fools. Most of what they do is mentioning Buffett in their clickbait titles. Boring reading, with very little useful info. Now they saw the light about bitcoin. Oh, let's throw a party for them!

I liked the piece by Arthur Hayes I just linked a couple of posts above. There's always been little complacency in what he writes. Even less now that he got fucked by the government big time.

Remember the 2017 bitcoin bubble?

https://twitter.com/studoesamerica/status/1362483434678067200?s=21

Actually I remember very clearly the 2014 one. My family and I were camping on a crystal clear lake for Thanksgiving (a holiday in the country that I grew up in before it was destroyed) and my poor fam had to listen to me going on about how this would not be the end of what bitcoin did... for the whole time. Of course bitcoin died shortly thereafter.

I first found out about crypto and got in like right above the 1 in 2014..
Saw the crash to under $200 live, and survived that great bear market thereafter..
Always believed soon after learning..

By the way.. in the above chart, see the lil blip above the 2014? That was the late 2013 bubble.

Oh my God, wasn't that when it went from $67 or so to $1000? It seems so small now...

Also: Were those Cassicus coins ever hacked or anything? They seemed neat, but I always wondered if a second copy of the keys weren't kept somewhere....

He never came out and spent any of the coins.

It was found later that you could peel the sticker off with a bit of heat while keeping everything intact. That allowed you to see the private key and put the sticker back on.

So they're good for a keepsake but not good for transferring to someone else with the idea that you're the only one with the key.

And the government eventually cracked down him selling them so he could only sell the empty coins which you had to transfer your BTC onto them later.

It was one of many early innovations that was tried because we were all excited about making Bitcoin work. Back in the early days of bitcointalk there was so much activity around making Bitcoin awesome. Now it's just shilling. If you do a search for any useful information the search result is filled with 2011, 2012 posts.

There were certainly detractors but those were mainly based on the underlying economic principles of Bitcoin. Keynesians not liking deflationary currencies. They thought a currency should purposefully lose value over time. As a feature.

I don’t think it’s quite that easy to peel a cas without damaging the holo..
Show me this evidence..
Their are still huge cas coins out there unmoved..

I have one, and it’s unmoved..
I quite trust it..

I got it for around $800 and it’s worth over $25k now, lol
Have no plans to peel or sell it anytime soon..
Will probably keep it for atleast another halving cycle..

I got it as good cold storage and to make sure I wouldn’t spend it..
It’s worked like a charm..

Yeah the 2014 blip..
That’s what 2017 is gonna look like soon enough...

Arthur Hayes might be a crook, but he does write informative pieces.
Moving from GME and Robinhood to BTC (and Bitmex), Why and how? Part 1.

https://blog.bitmex.com/walkaway/?utm_source=cryptotraderdigest&utm_medium=email&utm_content=CTD

The interesting bits are in his account of what happened with WSB and Robinhood. He says he jumped on the GME wagon himself, though it might just be to get some sympathy. The self-promoting stuff is actually kept to a minimum.

I did a quick search earlier and new quality ones were available for 1.02 BTC. Not enough to make me want to sell mine.

99 500 bitcoin millionaires

Millionaire addresses, amount of millionaires can be WaaaaaaaaaY lower

Also higher. Not everyone keeps all their coins in one address, usually people have a bunch of addresses in their wallet off a single base seed. Can this analysis link them?

Quote from: Wekkel on February 18, 2021, 06:05:01 PM

Holding BTC on a ‘1’ address is never wrong. ‘3’ is generally advised because it’s the most flexible. bc1 is the most advanced but not widely supported by exchanges.

1 = just old. there is no need for it. it costs more. it takes up more space.
3 = legacy compatible, wrapped segwit, will work everywhere.
bc1q = all exchanges will accept a deposit FROM this address, it's withdrawing TO one that may be an issue.

Most modern exchanges already support sending or withdrawing to a native segwit address.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32_adoption#Exchanges

Bitstamp fully supports it. Coinbase send only. Gemini fully supports it. Binance supports it. Purse fully supports it. The General Bytes ATMs fully support it.
Shakepay, Newton, Bylls, Bitcoin Bull all support it.

All hardware wallets support it. Almost all block explorers can view it.

As long as it's your wallet, it's best to keep your coins in bc1q addresses because *you* pay less to send it, does not matter where you send it to.

Finally, if you want to play with Lightning, you'll need to use segwit anyway.

The "Loaded" guy that had 40k moved it from a legacy address to a native segwit one, where it currently sits now.
