I remember 56k damn that thing was slow!

Not as slow as 300 baud.  Cool

Sparta grabbed the meme for $300. Will we post pictures of dial-up modems for $56k?

My first Model was a 28.8k High Speed Machine ...

Btw... Watch the movie hackers. They talk about super fast 28.8k Modems Cheesy

My first 300 baud modem didn't even connect automatically.

You had to listen for the modem at the other end and manually flip a switch.

Ah, those were the days... cassette tape i/o, command line UI, system RAM measured in kilobytes, saving up to buy a FDD controller and drive... but we felt so cutting edge at the time... kinda like Bitcoin a few years back.

My first computer ... Robotron KC 85/3 (Made in GDR)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KC_85

Mine was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K. Made in the UK. Featured here in an earlier post. Still have it (complete with box, PSU and "Horizons" cassette tape). Still working (last time I checked, 30 years ago).

Oh fuck, a positive cnbc article? Sell .. Sell ... Sell ... or was it another media station, which causes a decline, when they talk positive about btc?!

Mine was a 2400 bps V.42bis modem. Fun times. BBS, FTP, terminal stuff. My parents' worst nightmare (phone line occupied 24/7).

Yes, same here with the phone line until my mother foudn out, if they use the phone to call someone, I was thrown out of my modem connection ... damn in the middle of an "important" download XD...

Uber is also now considering accepting Bitcoin. Smiley

Domino effect in play right here.

Sit back, relax and enjoy getting rich while chilling at the sidelines. You deserved it!

Pump to 48K is being driven by this uncontrolled rumor coming from bitcoin Magazine:

DEUTSCHE BANK is preparing to buy Bitcoin - source n/a

@Bitcoin_Magazine

DYOR

in any case:
my body is ready.


Deutsche Bank has been an inverse Midas a long time already: everything they touch becomes shit.
They're in deep trouble.
Maybe they finally picked bitcoin as their lifeline?
It's not as big a piece of news as Tesla. Or if, say, Amazon or Apple jumped on the bandwagon.

As for German banks, the news I want to hear is "Bundesbank has bought bitcoin."  Wink

This. ^

Central Bank of Kenya. Deutsche Bank.

I was more confident at the time when BTC was still exclusively adopted by terrorists and criminals. Cool

Don't hold your breath!:

Re: SWISS NATIONAL BANK is the first Central Bank to own Bitcoin (via TSLA and MSRT)

I have to say, for a country in some snowy mountains, they are very technological advanced. (Hello neighors ... I envy you!)

With all these big institutions finally onboarding, i get some kind of a sad feeling...maybe we have to say goodbye to -80% bear markets. I would miss them!

Accumulating in these price ranges just doesn't feel the same anymore. A Sat here, a Sat there... Cheesy
