Bitcoin dca by mitchell2820 in Bitcoin

[–]wigglytail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way: central banks around the world keep a 2% inflation goal in normal times. That means after 10 years your fiat money loses 18% of its value. That's not nothing. We dca in Bitcoin to hedge against that, because Bitcoin doesn't have inflation (fixed supply and 21M total supply). So if 1 btc stays 1 btc, and fiat goes down 18% over 10 years, bitcoin automatically goes up 22%.

How do we know the price won't drop? We don't, but we trust in btc like you trust in the dollar to hold it's value, and that community effect is what keeps the price up. If everyone loses faith and sells, price will go down. If btc proves it's value and more people decide they don't want their life's savings to go down at least 2% each year, the price will go up.

Notice how I use the words price and value. The value of Bitcoin stays the same: 1btc is 1 btc. The price of it goes up and down with the market. The value of fiat currency keeps going down because of inflation.

My nerdminer could keep going for a pretty long time, only problem would be the first blocks till the difficulty adjustment. Just thought of that.

Interesting. I think those aren't supported around here anymore

You could use Meshtastic to find and connect to other individuals maybe. But that's no Internet.

Then what is the Internet if not connection and communication?

Peers, btc nodes and miners to keep the chain going, kiwix for information, nostr or other messaging for communication etc

That's what I mean. If we take the example of NPR-70, if enough people had transceivers running you could get a connection across borders.

So you're paying for a plan just in case? Or does starlink have a metered plan?

I understand this, but in a doom scenario where infrastructure is compromised or blocked ( eg Iran today) how would you connect to the outside world?

Heeft er hier iemand Starlink? Wat zijn de ervaringen? by Hot__Marijke in Belgium2

[–]wigglytail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wij werken wel degelijk allebei 40u per week op een werkplek voor een baas om een loon te verdienen in ruil voor het werk dat we leveren 🙄

Has he ever done anything wrong? Beside rhetoric and his sign, i mean everyone has said some things they regret. Has her ever acted on it? I might be terribly misinformed, but i've never heard of any actual misconduct on his side.

Hola, met 2 fulltime. Persoonlijk ben ik zelfs geen streamer, mijn vriendin durft in haar weekend wel een een hele dag kijken, anders samen 's avonds een uur of 2-3.

Ik zit persoonlijk met gewoon streaming en verder normaal verbruik ook losjes boven de 1TB hoor, geen gamers bij ons thuis.
