    Can you tell us about setting up a solver rig? Is this just something you do because you believe in the project at the moment, or is it a kind of thing you do and get X coins back for helping process things.

    Yes, that's right. We'll have to come up with a name for the capital.

    IN. I had 35 grand left from buying a few other things, so I figured this was a great an investment as any. Especially with Vitalik having specifically mentioned it recently more than once, plus all the random stuff you've posted. It looks like this is one of the last few remaining hidden gems...

    I love MATIC but buying something at 106 percent up when Bitcoin is going back and forth where it is would be unwise. Might it go back to $2.60? Sure, buuut the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.

    Thinking of finally buying Truebit for the long haul. @James are you still no less mega bullish on it over the coming years?

    Hold onto your butts, because shit might be crashing right back down.

    I’m gonna make a conscious decision to stop looking at things so much. I’ve made a decent bit of money, I got into Vechain again many times over than I did months back, and I think it’s time just to just leave shit be. Not because I’m not good at trading, I seem to luck out on it a lot, but it’s...

    Bought VET last night at 9 odd cents, so that works out.

    I'm coming back off Polygon and returning into Binance. I'm going on a few trips soon for both business and pleasure and I just can't deal with having to go to my desktop or laptop, connect my ledger, etc etc, and I need to be able to trade shit from my phone when the need arises. Plus I think...

    I still don't trust buying anything. Especially not after this little "recovery."

    33k on bitcorn rejected over and over. If it actually crashes down into the mid 20s I think I might buy some stuff.

    When you're that far down, I dunno...I'd probably just keep it. Crypto being crypto and all...it's one goofy news story away from blasting up 50 percent again. "Hyundai plans to accept bitcoin for car repairs!" or some bullshit like that.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Interesting. I have no doubt crypto will rebound because of the obvious integrations, but this (and particularly an event like that...) I wonder what kind of lasting stain it'll put on investing in it. i.e. another couple / few years to get confidence back. I was up $125k at peak and I escaped...

    If you're on Polygon already, I think I'm going to make an interesting gamble that's virtually never talked about. This is available on QuickSwap. This seems to be very under the radar, I've seen it mentioned a handful of times at best in the course of reading crypto related social media...

    Technically not. It's supposed to be treated the same way as moving into cash (I asked this question myself a while back.)

    I went all USDC on Friday night. I don’t even think I’m going to rebuy at these prices at the moment until things stabilize.

    Nothing wrong with selling at your buy in point. Now that the market has re-dumped a bit I’m not convinced it’s gonna go a lot lower though. Holding for me. Would have liked to have caught that $1.42 but...

    MATIC: Hold my beer, I can go even lower.
  22. Jackie Treehorn

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Holding is still, generally, the right choice. I could have just as easily woke up this morning and MATIC was $2.25 again. I just saw a lot of negativity and stagnation and made a bet on it.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    YES. I chose wisely for a change. Went back into all stablecoin last night before bed. Rebought MATIC at $1.60ish. Now I have an entire 14,500 more coins than I did when I started in it two weeks ago. I want to see the market rise and rise but this volatility can really be your friend if you...

    Short term is holding under a year. So if you buy X stock for $5000 today, sell it for $10000 tomorrow, then it goes down to $5000 in two months and sell you again, no taxes, they wash out. Long term capital gains only wash out against long term losses. Therein where you can fuck yourself if...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It ain't that bad really. Short term capital losses offset short term capital gains. If you know exactly what you start with, and don't actually take much money out during the year, or you keep track of it very well, you can easily know what your taxes are.

    I have a base salary of $140k a year, I live in California, AND I day trade shit relentlessly, so taxes aren't anything new to me unfortunately.

    I use QuickSwap for everything on Polygon too. I guess there's 1inch now also, but I don't think it offers too much different.

    Blaster Master (What the &#%& am I looking at?)

    I have a Pi set up with RetroPi and I just played this two weeks ago for the first time in a while. Showed the girl I'm dating, she thought it was hilarious. I could only get a brief second of coitus in before the arrows killed me (am I talking about real life, or the game?)

    Looks like Asia is waking up and smashing the buy button. I was working on some stuff and watching my laptop, and I saw it shoot from 39800ish to 41300 in a flash.

    Eh. I guess at the end of the day, who the hell knows. I reckon you can try to read palms and sticks and shapes of clouds all day on this stuff and still be 50 percent correct. I want to see what Asia does this evening.

    MATIC is an interesting proposition right now. It's simply not exploding like it was. It's hard to say what it's going to do. I'm hearing lots of chatter on social media (which is usually over bullish)...even from usually positive (overly positive, overly bullish) youtubers that signs are...

    The unfortunate thing is a lot of people are gambling with money they can't lose, which forces them to panic...there are people betting their rent money on this stuff. So dumb. No different than them taking it to a casino, at any rate.

    It dipped for all of about 20 minutes as soon as that news came out. BTC went from 40k down to 38 and change, Eth went down to low 2600s and maybe high 2500s. Then immediately back to where it is now.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I don't like this BTC wavering at 40k and ETH at 2800. IT'S FREAKING ME OUT, MAN (not really.) Is it gonna bust higher or lower.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Oh I gotcha now. Yes, I used QuickSwap into USDC. Doesn't really matter I guess. Tether, DAI, USDC. They all cost about the same fees to use.

    Coinbase Pro is cheaper than regular CB, so at least it’s better in that way. Personally I’m happy to be off the exchanges. They’re a good on-ramp to get your money in.

    No time soon. Going to wait until it gets higher. Whenever the market settles I expect it to rebound past ATH. ETH gas fees are crazy as are swaps.
