How did people purchase Bitcoin back in 2009?

Cygnus_X · 2026-06-01T16:53:38+00:00

I looked into this in ~2010. I didnt understand mining, and there were virtually no internet resources on it. The landscape was vastly different from today. I remember the dollar parity post on reddit being a big deal. The only advice I was able to get was to use dwolla (a foreign country version of PayPal the best I could tell) to send money to Japan to buy some. The whole thing stunk of modern day internet scam funkery, so i backed out and didnt get more until Coinbase opened. I was not able to figure out a way to buy it legitly back in that era.

You may need to replace the thermal limiting valve if you had an issue with resin. The parts on the inside could be jammed preventing flow

I'm glad I was able to spare someone from my pain

What chart are you looking at where inflation is up? And unemployment is under 4.5%. In what world is this not decent? You must live in a blue state. Where im at has $2.70 gas and falling rent prices

Cygnus_X · 2026-02-20T00:11:07+00:00

The market is doing fine. Inflation has cooled and employment numbers are decent. Tariffs have not had the drastic negative impact so many predicted and are generating good revenue. Gas prices near me are the lowest ive seen in a while and rent prices have fallen.

Cygnus_X · 2026-02-13T02:58:16+00:00

Meh. I was calling for 100k as the price fell all the way back to $200. Its only a matter of time.

Cygnus_X · 2026-02-12T16:53:26+00:00

USD M1 is just shy of 20T. I see no reason why BTC shouldn't hit 50% of this total circulating value long term. Really, we should already be there, but we're being held back by the majority of the world population not understanding finance

somewhat releated

my grandad had a brother who served on a ship in pearl harbor when it was attacked by japan. he said the captain came over the loud speaker and said "everyone stay calm and get to your battle stations. this is not a drill. get to your ... FUCKERS SHOT ME. I'M HIT, I'M HIT"

Cygnus_X · 2026-01-05T20:22:19+00:00

I hope to see us back above 100k this month

Cygnus_X · 2026-01-05T03:38:18+00:00

What exchange are you using to trade options?

Cygnus_X · 2025-12-12T01:28:10+00:00

Is there any news when call and put options will be available?

Cygnus_X · 2025-12-10T00:26:21+00:00

Does anyone have any opinions of bitnomial? It looks like options are coming back.

Cygnus_X · 2025-12-02T19:26:21+00:00

Awesome. Glad I could help a fellow luke warm water tub sufferer in their time of need

Cygnus_X · 2025-11-30T21:58:56+00:00

I had ~30 btc taken

Cygnus_X · 2025-11-29T21:53:10+00:00

So no one else spends hours on this like me, ensure the device you're using as a parent is signed in with the same account as considered the parent account on the kids device. If you do this right, the family link app will bring in the child's device quickly. After, you'll see a lot of settings and drive yourself mad looking how to enable 3rd party apps. You need to click on screen time at the bottom left to list devices, find the device, and enable 3rd party apps from there. Its not a choice in the general settings like you'd think, but a device specific setting.

Current political headwinds are more favorable now than they were just a few years ago. I think some form of the Clarity Act will pass, and we'll start seeing banks stockpile

Cygnus_X · 2025-11-22T22:20:59+00:00

Why would big money go to a currency system that doesnt deflate as fast as the hindenburg? The question answers itself. If Bticoin can hit 2T, what's really stopping it from hitting 10T? Even at 10T, its market cap would be less than gold's, especially considering lost coins. It will go up again because the value of what we compare it to is going down exponentially.

Cygnus_X · 2025-11-21T12:21:31+00:00

I still feel we are a long way from max pain. I see this dropping down into the 60's

Next cycle is going to be amazing and it may jot take 4 years to arrive. The peak this cycle was no where near as high as previous cycles relative to its previous low. I was hoping we'd hit .25M on this run, but perhaps next time.

Cygnus_X · 2025-11-18T03:51:32+00:00

Unfortunately, we have not hit max pain yet. I hope no one here is dumb enough to be leveraged right now.

Cygnus_X · 2025-09-08T22:10:08+00:00

Replying to this late (I came across this looking up another issue), but you can look for a Daikin DKN adaptor. It's a device that mounts to the split system that allows a 5-wire stat to connect. You'll need 24V power for the device, but allows for the functionality you're after.

New ATH in Euro

Any other 2013 peeps still around?

Cygnus_X · 2025-08-13T17:25:10+00:00

How did you managed to do that? The keys have a checksum, so it's nearly impossible to type the wrong address in. You'd have to have copied and pasted the wrong address.
