So recently I've been given my old imac again from when I was in middle school. My parents wanted to do end of year cleaning. However I remember trying out bitcoin mining on this thing many years ago. I remember I set up a wallet and had some software running that would send to the created adress. Does anybody know what files I need to be looking for on an imac? It was around 2012-2013.

I remember back then I was running it for a day and just turning it off after what it only generated. Im curious in today's standards what would be on there.

I wish i just kept it running those many years ago.

Guys im excited because the google titans are now back in stock i just ordered one . These things are useful because they offer an additional layer of authentication which only authorizes if you have the device plugged in or if its detected by the devices nfc reader. This is huge because if you fall for a phishing situation they cannot hack your email EVEN IF they have your whole password because it will not let them in to your gmail or whatever account you have secured without detecting the titan hardware directly.

Open minded but not seeing the future of crypto far as transactional use.

1. People anticipate crypto rising hire so are reluctant to use it in current transactions. Will crypto reach a stable level in our lifetime ?
2. Gas fees don’t make large transactions.
3. All Bitcoin will eventually be mined. Doesn’t this incentive developers to create alternatives coins?

What am I missing? Maybe evolution of crypto? Is crypto landscape going to be drastically different fundamentally in the future ? Are there any comparable historic references ?

Edit: would consider my self a crypto enthusiast for 10 plus years who is losing optimism.

Scrolling through this page the last few days you stumble upon these uncreative memes trying to slip SOL into "og status," talk down ETH performance, or try to solidify the fact that BTC is at some level it will never fall from. It just struck me as important to remember that at this point, cryptocurrency has no value for the common person. It is debatable if it will ever have a use for the common person. Because of that, ALL talk about "performance," and especially future performance of an asset is disingenuous.

This space is the definition of speculative. No one has an inside track on this. No one. So anything you read speaking with authority about the future of some coin or token is utter bullshit. I would also take note of WHO is posting these memes, because it tends to be the same accounts who are no doubt bag holding whatever asset the meme implies is good.

As far as you should be concerned, there is no real 'insight' in this space. Assume everything you read is written by a 15 year old. Assume all confidence is unfounded.

Back in February 2024, I posted some analysis looking at Bitcoin cycles not by the halving date, but how each cycle performed from the low.

Original post link:

A New Take on Bitcoin Halving Cycles

byu/Slimalicious inCryptoCurrency

So let's see how this updated chart looks:

X-axis represents the number of days from each cycle's low.

Y-axis represents the % growth from that cycle's low.

The dot marker for each line represents the halving date for that cycle.

Bitcoin price multiple from each cycle low (e.g. 2024 low was $15,780 on 11/22/2024)

As we can see, 2024 (yellow line) is tracking almost perfectly to the 2016 cycle, but slightly lower than 2020. According to this chart, we are currently on day 770 of this bull cycle. Previous cycles have taken almost 1,100 days to reach their ATH from the low, indicating that we may be looking at a new ATH in Q4 2025.

Thats financial advice, loser. Time to take out a HELOC and yolo it all.

What this chart doesn't take into account are any macro economic conditions. Obviously there's been a ton of noise around inflation for our current cycle. This time last year, all the big brains were saying Bitcoin's bull cycle was dead, killed by the highest Fed Funds Rate in a decade. Well guess what gaylords: Bitcoin eclipsed $100k, and hit $108k, with a FFR of 4.75%.

Another new variable in this cycle, as we all know, are the Bitcoin ETFs. Well right now, the top 5 ETFs hold 1.05 MILLION BITCOIN. That's 5% of the total mined supply. Taking into account the estimated lost bitcoin increased that to 7%. 7%! In less than a year! And large financial institutions, wealth managers, 401ks, etc. still have yet to adopt! The bullish impact on supply is staggering to comprehend.

And lastly, of course the regulatory change implications from the new administration are in play.

Bullish news I'm looking for in 2025:

• SEC lawsuits against Coinbase/Binance are dropped
• Large wealth managers (e.g. LPL Financial) begin pushing Bitcoin ETFs
• Large tech companies begin holding Bitcoin ETFs on their balance sheets
• Large financial institutions begin holding Bitcoin ETFs on their balance sheets
• Crypto market is designated to be regulated by CFTC
• Real World Asset tokenization continues to be explored
• Stablecoin regulatory bills are passed by Congress (look for Visa/Mastercard adoption)

TLDR; get in the rocket loser, we're headed to the moon.

How did you do in 2024? Although you are most likely up in USD - are you up in BTC or are you down in BTC?

...

Because I (stupidly?) have my entire crypto portfolio invested in Moons - I can tell you I'm down 23% against BTC in 2024. (which is somehow better than half of this list and was better than holding ETH).

I've had two ETH staked on coinbase for years, but in 2023 Wisconsin banned Coinbase from allowing any new staking. I know a bunch of other states also have beef with Coinbase.

Has anyone emailed their State organizations that banned coinbase staking and asked for any timeline or pathway to allowing this moving forward?

I just emailed the Wisconsin DFI at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and expressed my frustration. I'm sure it won't go anywhere but it would be nice to get a response. I know there are other ways to stake, but Coinbase makes it easy. Yeah yeah not your keys not your coins. I feel its more likely I'll lose my own keys in a house fire than that coinbase will get hacked or whatever and I'll lose it all. They've been around since 2016 and stayed strong through COVID. I'd rather stake on Coinbase than hold on Robinhood (which is also uninsured and in the unlikely event Robinhood goes under I'll probably lose it)

Anyway, happy new year!
