Be patient

I bought this monster in 2014 with money I made mining bitcoin on a laptop gpu in 2012.

I turned the laptops earnings into a single gpu miner and then in a 36 gpu farm. After the 2014 crash I unloaded everything, except for 14.9 dark coins I forgot about in a paper wallet. They were worth 20 dollars when I put them there.

I found those coins in December and sold 2 days after the peak for 23k.

The lesson in all this was no matter how much trading or mining or optimizing or switching algos, I would have made more just buying and holding for only a couple years.

Newbs be patient, buy hold wait. 4 years seems like forever, but 4 years ago I sold 76 bitcoins to buy mining rigs. Fuck me.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
