Bitcoins - about to hit $5,000 per coin today!

Price floor is already above 41k.

There is so much buying pressure we didn’t even have a dead cat bounce this time. Down and straight back up to ATH.

5 weeks later: 7k lol

[polychronopolous]

None, or they'd be doing it.

Anyone else check out this year’s 1040? Interesting question on it🤔

Kentucky poised to approve tax, energy incentives for cryptocurrency mining


Public records indicate that lawmakers in Kentucky appear set to approve two proposed laws aimed at incentivizing cryptocurrency mining activity in the U.S. state.

There are two bills moving through the state's legislature, known as the General Assembly. One is centered around tax incentives and, as noted by local media, is part of a broader push to draw technology businesses into Kentucky. The other measure would, if approved, extend the state's clean-energy incentives to cryptocurrency miners, provided that they meet a particular investment threshold of $1 million.

Voting records show that the Kentucky House of Representatives passed the energy bill Friday in a 74-19 vote after clearing the Senate on March 3. It's unclear at this time the extent of differences between the two chambers' bills and whether they'll need to be reconciled before final passage.

The legislature's tax-related bill passed the House of Representatives on March 3, with 84 voting to approve and 16 members not voting. According to the General Assembly's website, the tax bill was "posted for passage in the Regular Orders of the Day for Monday, March 15, 2021" in the House on Friday. A proposed amendment would sunset the tax exemption for miners in mid-2030.

The developments come as the U.S. bitcoin mining ecosystem continues to grow, drawing significant interest from institutional investors. Despite high demand for hardware, such investors are betting that the U.S. will be competitive with China as a hub for mining operations.

59.3k let’s fucking go!!! 

Next stop 80k!

Did you skip 70?

[Mayday]

Did you skip 70?

I only post the next resistance price points. Milestones.

The first I said 44k and it tapped 42k
The second I said 55k-60k and it tapped 58.5k

The third will be 77k-80k or something like that. Timeframe I would suggest in the range of mid to late April. 

So I am basically saying forget any ups or downs that happen prior to that marker because that is where price is headed next. At that point we should see sell/buy decisions being made by holders.

[Teutonic Knight]

Yes. One here, the dude that started this thread. I'm sure there are others also. I now have 47.3 BTC. So at say 55K per coin that's around $2.6m.

I do plan to buy the extra 0.7 of a BTC to get to full 50.

How is that goldmine in Australia performing ...........

The killer for people making fun at 10k then 20k then at 30k then 40k then 50k now at 60k and onwards is at some point you will need to deal with the mental side that you sat and watched it happen and missed out.

I think you are missing what ‘price floor’ actually means. sub 40k BTC price is gone forever. 40k-50k prices are probably gone forever.

Better get used to the feeling that gib is the Getbig overlord now.

Here's some historical data to put things in perspective. Ethereum has still outperformed Bitcoin in 2021 even with BTC @ $60,000. This is why looking at the big number is not the overall picture. Your return on investment would have been bigger for Ethereum.

Cardano is even more pronounced.

I would put my money into Bitcoin if it outperformed these other assets.

Now that being said yes you can hop from one crypto to another to increase gains. If I knew how to time the market perfectly I would sell all my ETH to BTC, ride it up and once it mellows out sell back to ETH and ride that up. But it is tough to time these things. And it complicates your taxes.

If Gibs sold his 50 BTC on January 1st and bought Dogecoin he would now have the equivalent of 660.63829787 BTC! Instead he still has 50 BTC because he hodled it.

He is playing it safe by just hodling BTC. Of course the same thing applies for me. If I did not hodl my ETH and sold all to Dogecoin in January I would have also seen a dramatic increase in my portfolio. The problem is it is easy to see this in hindsight but when you are in the moment you just can't know how things will pan out. If I had a time machine and knew future prices I would have been a trillionaire by now lol! I guess we all would be.

That's fucking impressive bra! But don't you mean 2.7?
47.3 +2.7 = 50 BTC

Yes, sorry - typo. I have 49.3. Need .7 to get to 50. Hope that makes sense!

How is that goldmine in Australia performing ...........

Hmmm, well I don't know how you know that. But yes, its true I am a part owner (shareholder) of a gold mine. How its it doing? Very well. Cost of mining at the moment is around 850 an Oz. And its selling for around 1700 an Oz. So doing well (for now anyhow).

Fucking carnage lol !!!

Short squeeze followed by long squeeze. The chat room is in meltdown of people getting wrecked.

Loads of buying pressure at 54k so someone is snapping coins up like a demon.

I would t be surprised to find out Microstrategy got another 100M in funds and this is all him!

India news was out weeks ago. It isn’t that.

This is a last ditch effort for major players.

If it’s short lived, it’s just a last ditch effort to get what they can.

If it becomes a massive pullback sub 50 it’ll be a new participant.
