I bought 33% of my wealth on silver metal coins. Since then,
silver is down 40% and bitcoins are up 1000%. I blame the
jews...

I don't know enough to pass judgement on things like this,
but I do know that it really pisses me off that inflation
even exists. That's a lot of the reason people hoard gold
and bitcoins. Fuck's sake, the economy is something of our
making, so we should be able to just decide to not have
inflation. If we have fiat currency then we should be able
to decide what it is able to buy. If that makes us commies
then so be it yo!

bitcoin is classic speculation. most people are pretty sure
it'll collapse, the question is simply when. from there,
it's a game of financial chicken. on the one hand, i feel
like a moron for not getting a bitcoin or two when i first
started following it a year or three back (they were $5-7
then). on the other hand, hindsight is 20/20, it could have
just have easily all vaporized and been worth nothing. the
sudden cavitations in value whenever an exchange gets hacked
or the FBI busts some shit should tell you (as an investor)
all you need to know: maybe you can churn a bit of green out
of this still, but don't put cash you can't afford to lose
into it.

I am waiting to see if it drops below $100USD/per in value
again, and I might exchange a bit of my liquid. Not a chance
I am buying in right now at $800USD/per - I know a few guys
who were at a security conference in Las Vegas 2 years ago,
who purchased a bunch of BTCs from a vendor for $10USD/per.
Wishing I was at that one.

Any of you got mining rigs running? Got a few friends who do
process time exchange from service to service for other
miners, a bit of a fuck-around, but there is a profit in it
while the price is up.

that was my initial angle, not to buy the bitcoins but mine
them, since i do lots of computer fings anyways. you used to
be able to do alright with a beefy PC (graphics card in
particular is important, as that does most of it) but now
the game is too far in. it's designed so bitcoins get
progressively harder to mine. you might still get lucky
running it as a "screensaver" but there will come a point
where it's not even worth the electricity. dudes have those
spit-and-string hotrod ASIC jobbies from butterfly labs and
such... once that runs into a wall, what next? i figure
that'll be the end of it. when crunching new coins becomes
impossible, the hackers will lose interest. price climb
halts, everyone pulls their money out, collapse. very well
might last on after that as a currency, just at $10/per
instead of whatever it is now. boring makes for stable.

but, hey, i'm not exactly a H4x0r Economist here.

How much effort does it take to mine them?

I'll probably stick to buying land though (read: I'll
probably stick to dreaming that one day I will be able to
afford to buy land)

it's worth getting it going just for fun, experience, etc.
on a weekend but i wouldn't expect much. that's probably a
good start, actually.

as for your land thing: people do very well through scraping
up some initial capital and then doing something boring but
repeatable, i.e. renting crappy houses to college students
etc

i was fucking around with mining software, joined a mining
pool when it was $20/coin, but i didn't have the right
graphics card so i just gave up. but actually not before
looking at putting some money into hardware, no i'm too
broke, no one wanted to go in on it with me either, that's
how it goes

years later lewis spontaneously made about $20k on bitcoin,
was very responsible with it for a few years, and then blew
most of it in an episodic few months, he last the wallet,
the somehow he found it again and there's more in there
again because it's risen so much that the bit he lost track
of is now worth something again. that's how lewis goes. i'd
be jealous if he were functional enough to enjoy his
freakishly perfect timing of chaos

i feel like maybe i should just be running on a mining pool
on idle on the various whatever i have around. if it's going
up in value that much, may as well plow the spare CPU cycles
into it? safer than shelling out to invest at least

bitcoin is a reptile overlord scheme tho because the reptile
people have trouble physically grasping fiat currency with
claws so they need something they can hold onto & manipulate
digitally

Part of me is angry that I never invested more in bitcoin
when I first learned of it, but the other part of me is
relieved I didn't waste more on drugs and weapons.
