    The amount of new Crypto users is what is driving the increase of late (IMO), speculation for sure as well, but with a finite supply and an expanding buyers base there is it seems only one way for things to go. There also seems to be an increasing resilience in the market now with the added base as well, higher highs and higher lows as more people see opportunity on any drop in the market rather than fleeing back into fiat.

    It's not mainstream yet but i reckon over the next 12-18 months we will see a critical mass get reached that drives the total crypto market well above the trillion dollar mark and then an influx of business and 'normal people' into the market as well.

    Btc was a tech fad six years ago, tech nerds like me (just like by username) who were folding and or into games were only ones who even knew about it. Having said that, I was telling my friends who were considering buying $600 gpu just for mining that it was crazy if they didn’t already have gaming amd cards and that prob better to buy btc about $1 each.

    Thinking back, I would say mainly gamers mined since we already had the cards, and those that did had few hundred btc than lost 8nterest, few years later unfortunately for many when it reached $50 to $100 or so dollars they sold out if they remembered keys.

    Ding, Ding, Ding, BTC above 10 k U.S. As the kiwi's would say UNBEELOVABLE.....


    I can remember quite well ridiculing people here on SS about it at the time. Crapto Currency, Tulip Mania, backed by nothing except 1's and 0's and sure to fail.

    Six years....., how long is a house loan now, if you can ever afford one ?

    Not me, I'm eating baked beans off my 1kg silver coin. Silver transfers heat really good, so my baked beans cook very well on it.

    Cretin, they heat just as well in the tin on a fire. Just place your 1KG coin on the fire and sit the tin on top of it.

    Do you think you guys would have just kept it?
    I only had few, so it was never worth cash out, and buy the time it did make sense it was still climbing. But I’m sure if I had 500 to 1000 btc when it was easy to mine I reckon I would have sold it when it reach $50 dollars, still $25 to 50k.

    imagine how many wallets are out there with ten or twenty btc that is lost. Let alone thousands.
    I remeber reading about some guy who had $20million worth when it was $400 imagine how much it is now lol.

    Thinking about it might be worth buying old used cheap USB card from eBay.

    I'm an example of just that 1pv6, had 240 odd K Potcoin I rediscovered on my laptop which I'd mined a couple of years previous, re-synced the wallet and sold ASAP at recent highs six months back for about .08 cent's U.S, Current Price 28 cent's U.S. Anyone can do the maths on that but i'm still a very very happy camper in any case...for now anyway. Still got 5 million Doge locked up in an old wallet as well... one day!

    100 years from now... Prospectors out excavating old dump sites searching for early 21st century computer hard drives and scanning them for BTC, ETH, LTC. BINGO 7500 BTC from 2009 worth a Trillion dollars in the Current Era.

    Naa, I find the beans taste better if they have direct contact with the silver. Then I lick the coin clean and don't have to wash up.

    LMFAO, :p I suppose it's also better for your health as well, steering clear of the heated aluminum can and getting your daily dose of Colloidal silver as well huh ?
    What I'm really wondering about are the health benefit's to those around you the next day though..... Is the fractional silver airborne or not ? ? ?

    I think there might be a PH'd in there somewhere, crossing the boundary's of Colloidal silver's benefits and Climate change gasses.

    Is that some sort of ascending triangle you're showing there @dozerz? Normally a bearish sign ;)

    I jump in when it was at 6K USD, my best decision in exchanging and getting rid of some metals, now it can put back for what i exchanged. ROI definitely.
