Really? If you do, you should probably sell it. It's up almost 90% in the last day since Elon Musk tweeted about it.

Since you've been quiet during this historical run of the last several weeks, I can only assume you've been busy customizing your new Lambo?

Please tell me many of you are millionaires now?
If you were just pumping things in this thread and didn't actually own a bunch of Bitcoin, that would be such a shame.

Millionaire no, didn't have enough to take a risk with, and as it went up I sold some of my position. But, my TSFA is loving this upward movement.

I'm not sure how many people are millionaires, but I know quite a few who have paid off their mortgage and gotten out of debt the last few months with the rise in the BTC price.

At this point the bitcoin blockchain difficulty is so high its probably not worth it for home miners to even try, probably better mining some other coin. Thats one of the critiques against a proof of work blockchain, as price goes up, difficulty goes up, rewards go down, so the only entities which can hash to the level needed are these huge mining centers. You need ASIC miners, which are patented and with very few manufacturers. It slowly evolves into something centralized in that sense.

It determines what’s the most profitable at the time and automatically mines those. You get paid in bitcoin directly into their wallet. From there I move the proceeds into Coinbase.

If you already have a decent video card, it takes no time to setup as you just install the software and run it.

Bitcoin with a pretty big dip today. Probably a good time to buy in. $170bn of crypto value wiped out today...sounds like a bunch of sell offs for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

If you believe in this thing, it's a hell of an opportunity to back up the truck.

I only kinda/sorta do, so I only topped up a little bit.
