If you’re not committed to learning about how #bitcoin works and all the improvements happening in the greater ecosystem then it’s easy to fall for all these #shitcoin pitches! Since crypto isn’t regulated shitcoins can promise the world and never have to deliver. It’s the easiest way at the moment to sucker in investors with minimal legal issues which is why scams are so prevalent Dumb scammers do rug pulls and exit scams, the smarter scammers keep their platform going and…
El Salvador 🇸🇻 Has officially announced that their volcano bitcoin mine is up and running and they’ve secured their first 1 million Sats How crazy is that? A government is officially using renewable energy to mine Bitcoin oh how things have changed
I think that the amount of tokens we see today is just a reflection of what governments have been doing all along! I know Bitcoiners care about stopping the effects of money printing but I think shitcoiners couldn’t be bothered Everyday a new coin pops up and you can then stake it for another coin and so in in this endless rehypothicated of Ponzinomics I see so many people online shilling and chasing the next coin or another coin, constantly chasing new inflation that is…
It looks like hash rate is spiking on the Bitcoin network as more miners come online to compete for Bitcoin! I read somewhere it costs around $13000 to mint a Bitcoin on average so you’re making a considerable profit right now so it’s no wonder people are keen on mining Also all those miners who left China probably took a while to rebuild their operations or sell it to others who would use it somewhere else and now the network looks to be getting stronger and stronger This…
Bitcoin is still such a new concept for many people and trying to understand it will take a lot of time! I spent 5 years learning about and I still don’t know enough I am always learning every day One question I get from many people is bitcoin a stock? Who is the bitcoin company? How do I make money from Bitcoin? So I’ve put together this comparison of Bitcoin vs stocks to explain what the difference is and how to explain it to friends and family Have a look and let me know…
What a crazy article I found this online while reading the news someone in Australia managed to find a lost Subaru in a barn and it turned out to be a rare series of cars with less than 70 ever made. It was also used my famous rally driver Collin McRae The finder was able to sell it and pocket a cool $360k in BTC or 7.6BTC not a bad way to stack some Sats! Hope this person keeps hold of it, this could double in a short space of time and be a real life changing amount of…
Got my monthly payment in #BTC for the solar panels I purchased with the sun exchange! It’s a project here in South Africa that allows you to fund solar projects and the electricity generated from the panels are sold to schools and local businesses The funds from the electricity is then converted into Bitcoin and sent to anyone who invested in the project for 20 years which is freaking epic
Sometimes I think we take for granted how far certain technologies have come in recent years! The fact that man people are able to earn an income from home or from anywhere in the world is the norm now but it doesn’t make it any less crazy if you think about how we’ve adapted I think that working from anywhere is a privilege sure not everyone is able to do it but the fact that so many more people can and starting to do so it’s brilliant to me I remember how hard it was…
I recently purchased a new laptop 💻 which wasn’t really in my plans I had to get some since I work from home and work for myself! Spending that kind of money will be a tough pill to swallow and I am determined to make it back but I’m glad that I did it I won’t say I am way more productive but having a more reliable machine does make a difference to me completing my work I bought the laptop on my credit card and it made a considerable ding in my balance lol! I don’t like…
Waking up to see Bitcoin smash past 50k I don’t know if I should be happy or annoyed I didn’t stack more yesterday could have maxed out this 25% pump over the week! Looks like the stock to flow model is going to be proven correct of this keeps up 64k for october is the target Have you been stacking Sats this week? What do you think will the S2F hold?
I made some yummy ass fried chicken and pasta tonight man did it go down like a dream #FoodPhotography
If you’re holding bitcoin and you’re not running you’re own node then you’re trusting someone else to verify your transactions! It doesn’t mean it’s wrong but if you care about the value you’re storing in the network you would want to run your own node I’ve set up my full node and connected my wallets to my node so I only verify using my copy of the blockchain! It doesn’t get more secure than that, how many other tokens/chains offer their users that level of security?
I see BCH is only 29% away from it’s all time low against BTC! If they both have the same limited supply of 21 million then this network is not at all popular as it keeps losing ground to Bitcoin Measuring in dollars doesn’t give you a good representation of what’s going on because they are printing this shit like it’s going out of style and it is BCH is clearly not getting much support and continues to lose ground!
The more I learn about Bitcoin the more I think it’s a test of intellect, if you have leaned about it and have the capital to put into it and you still choose to ignore it or worse invest in shitcoins then you clearly have failed the intellect test and that’s unfortunate but good luck with that, plenty of dumb people in this world so you’re not alone
So Bitcoin is sitting at around 67% dominance in the digital asset market right now at what I think is peak shitcoinery at the moment! We had ICOs and now we have DEFI making more and more shitcoins as we go along This has gone unregulated for some time now and the more people who get rekt from it the more governments are going to put pressure on them! I think as Bitcoin keeps running and centralized projects pretending to be Decentralized keep failing or have to shut down…
lol Vitaliks latest rant about El Salvador 🇸🇻 sure does sound like the boy is cracking, his seeing his little play toy of a project ethereum continue to lose ground to Bitcoin and he can’t take it The egos in crypto are insane everyone thinks they the next big thing and that their opinion matters! Bitcoin doesn’t give a shit it’s going to keep doing what it does no matter what you say Looks like V is grasping at straws now
It’s true what some Bitcoiners like Parker Lewis has been saying it all happens gradually then suddenly! It only feels like yesterday that governments were hating on Bitcoin sure there are plenty that do such as China, Nigeria, Turkey and a few more but some are starting to come around People are starting to see the value and seeing a US senator openly disclose that they are buying Bitcoin and no small amount Cynthia Lummas has come out and stated she picked up just shy of 3…
I know many people are excited about the possibilities that cryptocurrency can bring but very few are paying attention to safety. Yes it’s easy to download an app and use a hot wallet or a custodial wallet but both of these still leave you open to being hacked On the custodial end you could be hacked with a password leak, sim swap fro 2FA sms hack, you could have your data phished or the exchange itself could pull a runner As for hot wallets we use our devices for all sorts…
So it looks like the contagion that is Bitcoin is starting to speed across Latin America! El Salvador we’re first to pull the trigger on legal tender laws and there are rumors that Paraguay and Panama are looking at it too! All 3 are pretty small nations but now we hearing a BRICS nation is looking to step into the ring Brazil 🇧🇷 Has had a history with currency debasement and swapping out currency in the past! The real has not been doing well and people are indeed suffering…
Earning money online isn’t as easy as people think I see so many people wishing to be bloggers, social media stars or YouTubers but the fact of the matter is very few can make a career out of this Yes you could use it as a side income but relying on these platforms for your life can cost you more than you think! You always competing with a new set of influencers wanting to do the same The platforms are also paying you less and less as they have to retain profits for their…
I’ve been speaking to a lot of my friends about Bitcoin and why they don’t want to get in ➡️ https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/you-dont-need-1-bitcoin/ And many of them cite the fact that it’s too late to secure 1 Bitcoin that it’s too expensive! I do understand they thinking behind owning 1 Bitcoin it sounds good having that nice round number but it wouldn’t be the end goal The fact is most of the worlds citizens will never own 1 Bitcoin and that’s okay, it’s not about…
I ran a bit of a test on this site recently and posted a link in one of my posts so I could track the amount of times it was clicked to see if any of my 900 or so followers are real Ans even though I got 80 hearts and really great tips I didn’t get 1 click on the link So now I’m wondering are all my followers just bots and dead accounts? Or are people literally just here for the tips and not to engage with any content? I have far fewer followers on Twitter but I do get much…
I started watching this new series invincible I’m one episode in and it’s freaking epic! I thought I’d be tired of watching comic book style shows but this is really refreshing definitely not one for the kids but if you enjoy a darker side to the super hero genre then this show is definitely for you Can’t wait to Binge the next 7 episodes
Yesterday i checked my Twitter and saw that someone had tipped me £5 worth of Bitcoin after reading one of my posts! I know this doesn’t happen often but it meant a lot knowing that it’s completely they did it because they really liked my content and not because they could possibly get something in return I don’t even know who the person is, that’s crazy! I wonder how Twitter is going to evolve now that this tipping functionality continues to roll out to more countries and…
I’ve been reading a lot about this #axieinfinity game that had become so popular with 40% of its users coming from the Philippines! There are stories of people making a living wage from the age and some even buying houses and these stories generate hype Looking into the economics of the game the vast majority of players are farming and paying a fee to whales in the game and holding hoping to become whales themsleves where they can then lease out to others As more people come…
#BTC topped out at 60k today with a lot of people bullish and trying to front run the possible announcement of a futures contract ETF I’m personally not too bothered with this since it’s a cash settled ETF so it doesn’t exactly tie much into Bitcoin and is only a marginally better product than GBTC The only plus is that certain institutions could know buy in and get additional exposure to Bitcoin Do you think the ETF will be approved?
I played soccer tonight and I think I did pretty well tonight but football is a team sport and it doesn’t matter how well you play as an individual the team has to pull its weight and that’s not something we did tonight and rightly got smashed 8-0 It was so embarrassing as the team we played against wasn’t even that good we just let ourselves down
Uptober is in full swing with the price running up to as high as 62k before pulling back! The #Bitcoin futures #ETF is set to go live on Monday if rumours are true In other news #Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey has announced that square is working on a custom Bitcoin miner that they will then open source for individuals and businesses that would like to start mining ⛏ There is so much bullish news for Bitcoin lately it gives me a lot more confidence to keep stacking and…
I finally finished the first season of invincible and what a great show it was the final episode was a bit of a let down but the overall series was so refreshing It takes a much darker look at the super hero franchise and what it would be like if super heroes were among us it wouldn’t be as fun as you might think The amount of devastation that it could cause could almost seem like we would have a world that is far worse off I highly recommend checking out this Amazon…
I tried to watch the new Halloween Kills last night the sequel to the 2018 movie! It naturally got a sequel after making 250 million on a 10 million budget but as sequels go this one was so boring and not worth watching There was no substance to the movie it didn’t push anything in the story forward and did nothing to add to the series It really looks like they all out of ideas and they just repeating the process as many times as people are willing to watch it Sadly there…
I was listening to the recording of the Bitcoin Twitter spaces with Mark Cuban and it made me more bullish than ever! To hear a billionaire not understand how #Bitcoin works and him trying to process it was amazing It just goes to show many of these rich guys aren’t that smart and have been hanging on the coat tails of the fiat system for so long they can’t think outside the box 📦 The fact that people with that kind of money don’t get it means that we are getting in so early…
Since 2015 I’ve been telling my friends and family to buy Bitcoin! They all ignored me some have started to come around and buy but most refuse to give Bitcoin it’s dues! They all either think it’s a scam or they think they are smarter than #Bitcoin I find this notion to be hilarious due to the wealth of free information online for you to read! You simply need to be committed The bitcoin experiment 🧪 is a great filtering of the minds! There will be winners and losers, their…
Sometimes I go on traditional social media and I think what are these people thinking? Why do they bother posting on these sites for free? How vapid are you that you need daily attention from people At least when I post I get paid for it there’s some sense to it! Sure you can get influencers who get paid to use social media but the vast majority are literally putting in time and effort for free and giving these sites more money
It’s always so strange to me the type of news that gets coverage and the type that does not! The Pandora paper leaks should be a much bigger deal it implicates so many rich people using legal loop holes. These people use off shore companies to hide money and avoid paying taxes while the rest of us sit and suffer under inflation and increasing of taxes The list includes politicians, business men and celebrities that normies hold up as hero’s and it just shows how gross they…
I cannot believe it plan b stock to flow model has been proven right once again and Bitcoin is about to hit its all time highs There was a time after the China ban where were thought the model would not stick but Bitcoin has a mind of its own and clearly nothing can stop it at this point We are so close to a new ATH, LFG!!!! $65k all day baby, if you’re not panic buying now your kids are going to remind you what a loser you were in a few years Don’t be that mom or dad
The second #Bitcoin ETF is rumoured to be launching and I think it continues to push the price higher and higher I think prices under 60k are going to be far gone and anything you can you pick up close to that will be a steal in the next few years! If you do get a chance to buy the dip don’t miss out, I know I am going to be grabbing as many Sats as I can afford! Any dip is going to continue to make a bigger difference it gets harder to get hold of them
We did it new all time high unlocked and shitcoins are doing whay they do best, being shit! Sadly none of your coins have NGU technology! HFSP
I’m starting to feel a sense of gratitude 🙏🏽 towards shitcoiners and no coiners I used to argue and bitch with them but I realise that’s against my best interests! Convincing people to buy Bitcoin is irrelevant it just would make it harder for me to buy some more As long as people don’t agree with me or rather the vast majority I get to pick up Bitcoin at an absolute steal! 65k is cheap when you see where this thing is going
I finally got around to finishing the 3rd season of You on Netflix and this show is still top notch! This season took a bit of a turn from the previous two as I feel they are trying to up the ante and took on a more of a dexter vibe I don’t think season 3 is as good as the previous 3 but bingeworthy none the less
How creepy is this world coin airdrop? Wanting to scan your freaking eyeball to get your airdrop lol good luck with that! No amount of money is going to get me to part with my data Lol this ones going to fail so hard but it’s sad how many people will give up anything for some free money
I really loved the show mr robot but I never got around to finishing the final season but did it last night and I’m glad that I did! This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in the last dEcade and I’m glad they didn’t drag it out and ruin it like they do so many series that are successful While the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I would like and the plot twist wasn’t exactly what I would like the show is still well worth watching
I checked out Halloween kills this weekend and man what a waste of my time! The first reboot was okay but this second one was a total money grab! I won’t be watching this series of movies anymore They offer less than zero to the lore of the story and it’s just about milking another kill chase and not having to do much else Sure the gore and graphics have gotten better but other than that it’s not much by way of a story
To celebrate Bitcoins all time high this week I posted a WhatsApp status and said that if anyone of my contacts doesn’t have Bitcoin I would send them $10 worth of Bitcoin for free to get them started Only 4 people took me up on the offer from close to 100 people who saw that status! It just shows how early in this Bitcoin revolution we are and people are still going to ignore what’s going on here Some feel it’s a scam, some feel it’s too late, some feel they fine with the…
I haven’t had a pizza 🍕 in ages and I thought I’d order one this weekend and I noticed that the price is up 25% since the last time I ordered which was probably at the beginning of the year and I mentioned it to friends and family and no one bats an eye That’s the sinister creep of inflation most people don’t notice that they are getting less for spending more and that their savings are being eroded over time
This year has been a tough one for me, loads have been happening that I didn’t plan for and I can tell you that if I didn’t have savings I would have really been in the shit It’s really helped me out when I’ve gotten into issues this year and I’m so glad I always plan to put away something for those rainy days It also highlights why I should consider being even more aggressive with my savings and stop spending on nonsense I don’t need! The world is full of uncertainty and…
I am a little concerned about these talks of taxing unrealised gains even though I am not from the US! If something like this goes through it means that other governments can follow the template and I don’t agree with that It’s also claiming that it will only be on billionaires but why would they stop there if there’s money to be taken? They will apply it to everyone and try to steal more from us than we already do When will this madness end?
Felt like snacking tonight so I made some sweet potato fries 🍟
Just when I thought this dog 🐶 coin thing was done with doge the ETH copy cat shiba inu has picked up the mantel! A few people got rich off doge many did not but the stories in the media are always of those who were successful This suckers in people who think they can somehow replicate this and become a overnight millionaire by gambling on these dog coins 🪙 It makes me really sad to see people falling for this but there’s nothing I can do but watch and hope they eventually…
So the South African power supply company is fucking up again and we having 6 hours of power cuts a day! You cannot work and plan your life around such incompetence it really just shows what a banana republic this country is and why I need to leave if I ever have any chance of building a decent life for myself Many people are still in denial here that it will get better but I am starting to lose hope for this country
So my bank without warning decides it’s okay to freeze my accounts because of a fuck up on their end and they take no responsibility for their stupidity. Cutting off someone from their own money is such a gross act I can’t believe we have to deal with these institutions I can’t wait for the day Bitcoin makes banking obsolete I am so over sitting on calls with call centre staff and doing security checks to prove I am who I am to correct your fuck up
India has come out and said they are going to drop their #Bitcoin ban and regulate it as a commodity which is great news for the country and for bitcoiners in the region It seems like governments are starting to understand they can’t make this bitcoin thing go away and that citizens are going to use it no matter what they say or do so you may as well embrace it It’s amazing how a price run can get people to change their minds! Money talks and bullshit Walks
I can’t believe how quickly the months are passing by, we are already heading into November and 2021 is almost over! I feel like o just started this year and I didn’t even get started with all the things I wanted to do and see this year Sigh I feel like this covid thing has robbed us of so much time that we won’t get back and we still have to deal with it the overhang now
So it’s local elections here in South Africa so it’s the talk of the town people have to think about who they want to govern them and an are still participating in the scam as if it makes any difference or drives any real change Most people don’t think for themsleves so they will just go along with what they are told regardless of the results I do think there is a growing minority who see through it all and are fed up and won’t go vote which is their right too! One I’ll also…
My first crack at making bread and man did it come out great
I made some Dom Pedro’s for dessert today it’s a South African cocktail Ingredients are: - Vanilla ice cream - Whiskey - Amarula -Chocolate shavings - Mint It’s So refreshing on a summers day I highly recommend if you like a little boozy drink that you give it a try
Tomorrow is voting day for local elections and I already see so many people opinionated on who you should vote for an why, I find it hilarious since nothing has changed much in the last 27 years since the country became a democratic nation I think people are just such suckers for routine and can’t think of any other soliton then pretending like your vote matters! Being a citizen shouldn’t be about voting for very few years but how contribute to society as a whole Also your…
