You loving dumbass. You know why you feel bad about it? Because somewhere deep down in your thick-rear end skull, you apparently have some kind of conscience. You've tied yourself up in knots with this pseudo-intellectual bullshit, trying to justify contributing to the downfall of mankind for a relative pittance in "profits" that may or may not actually be in liquid cash.

There are literally people dying somewhere out there because they don't have stable access to the energy grid, and you're casually expending an entire town's worth, without producing anything of value, every single month, just so you have a little more cash to play with.

Profit is not a loving imperative.

You're actually *worse* than the CEOs who are making billions off the backs of their employees, because at least they ostensibly run something that actually outputs a product.


You're being a leech. Without realizing it, you've stolen more from society than most bank robbers ever accomplish. But you just stand there and shrug because it's legal.

Shut that place down and live your life with a goddamn ounce of dignity for once, would you?

I'm confused, you mean you're cashing out a bitcoin per month to cover the cost of the electricity to generate that bitcoin, plus a tidy profit in the hundreds of dollars?

Or you're holding on to the bitcoins because you think they'll be worth a lot more than the cost to mine them at some point- meaning that you're not actually breaking even at all, except in the way that people with thousands of bitcoins stashed are "millionaires"

The worst is trying to justify it by "b b but decentralized cryptocurrency will be big one day and not just a speculative market!" How do you look at a system that can't even process a decent amount of transactions and go "yep this is totally the future."

I'm young enough that I'm going to have to live through all this bullshit climate change and god forbid I decide to have children lmao. And here are a bunch of idiots burning power while providing literally nothing of value.

It owns that a for real drug farmer converted his drug farm into a bitcoin mine and now posts freely about the incredible unscrupulous and selfish wasting of our planets resources so that his digital coin purse will, someday, overflow with boundless growth and he’ll buy a private island and- whoops actually CoinXchange went down for 15 minutes and everyone’s money is gone!

Bitcoin is at $11,100 at the moment. My costs get covered at $6,900. My math must be off. I've mined a bitcoin a month, I haven't sold anything except when I bought coins specifically to trade with when it was at $3,100

AkumaHokoru posted:

4,200 is your profit if you can get it out. minus all the transaction fees along the way...maybe about 3,800? after taxes?

Times 12, and then 180 ETH that I break even at 225, which is at ~$313. Not really some life changing amount of money, but I'm not cashing out right now either way. I'll cash out at maybe $15,000 on btc and $450 on ETH

Ahahahahahahahaha you're never going to see a penny of profit.

It doesn't look like much until you consider all the ETH I'm breaking even on.

It's like multi-level marketing: it's pure profit as long as you ignore all the expenses and count all your inventory as already sold. Also it helps if you ~believe~ in the product

Say "feelers" a couple more times, I think there are a few people ITT who haven't realised how calm and collected you are about everything and think you're a pathetic 4chan memelord

MarksMan posted:

Why is that? Are you doing some other version of math than me?

Prester Jane posted:

Math has nothing to do with this. You're a chump who's bought into a scam hook line & sinker- you'll never be able to bring yourself to sell when you can make a profit because all you'll be able to think about is how much more money you will make if you just hodl a bit longer. Then the price will crash again and you'll be deep in the red and you'll convince yourself that you have to hodl till the price goes back up and you can recoup your investment.

Math isn't a factor here, your being an easily manipulated/greedy chump is why you'll never see a penny of profit.

MarksMan posted:

Ah, I see. Now it makes sense. I guess if I needed the money right this second, I would just go ahead and cash out. But I don't, so it is what it is I suppose

Prester Jane posted:

Yeah, you're never going to take profit when you can or should because you're always going to tell yourself that the price is only going to go up in the future. You will only sell if your hand is forced by external factors- and that point will only come when you are in desperate need and the price point is much lower than your investment.

MarksMan posted:

And I'll try to keep the dream alive, until I get traumatized again when it crashes and I watch all my digital schmeckels evaporate

Prester Jane posted:

You're basically wasting an absurd amount of energy in order to make your daydreams feel more real. You're not going to make money off of this, and what you're doing is completely unethical in an age of climate change. Making your daydreams feel more plausible is the single benefit to any individual that your Bitcoin mining will provide, so I strongly suggest that you indulge those daydreams as strongly as you can for as long as you can.

Just know that everyone in this thread is going to be absolutely laughing their balls off at you that when the price inevitably crashes again.

Talking in another thread about 2 of my guys' bday party back in February (they had same bday...1 day apart at least) and the part 2 of it (back in beginning of the summer, the pics are from part 2) made me decide to upload these pics from the night; not really "drug" pictures, but none of us have any involvement with drugs whatsoever

My 1st friend spent at least $15k in throwing $1's and my 2nd friend had at least $30k go up ($10k brought out 3 times), not including what they paid to rent the place + drinks. I threw up $2500 and felt like a budget baller My favorite girl is the one with glasses in bottom left of picture, she got rear end for daysssssss


My Lexus is on far right and I won't be specific on who owns what car but all the ones with cones in front of them and all the donks are owned by my guys and their crews. The yellow thing is a BEAST. 454 under the hood and the audio and visual system is just ridiculous (not that loud, distorted, cant-hear-poo poo type that most have, but even on full blast crystal-clear sound and bass). And yes those are 30's on every car except my Lexus and the Cadillac XLR

I was literally the only white person in the club but it didn't matter cause of who I was with; plus the fact I was with them in the first place and white I think let most people know what was up.

About half 14TH S9's originally (well, all originally a year ago when I started) recently a bunch of S17 Pro 50TH. My ethereum rigs are primarily all nine card 1070ti rigs, with a few nine card 1080ti rig's, some 1080's, and maybe 10% 1070's. Somewhat old pic of my warehouse
