I don't know what the latest insights to silver are but it has always been about to revolutionise something and be worth a fortune.. Its why I started hording it years back, I thought to myself how much better it was than gold.. Most electrically conductive, kills germs on contact (I owned silver nano socks for years ha).. Kills werewolves etc.. I also thought that come armegedon that I would need a smaller currency than gold.

It's just its never really kicked in.

"Its running out of steam.theres better opportunities out there ,silver is a good opportunity, btc is still a spin on a roulette wheel."

That reminds me I actually forgot about my gold and silver stash ha.

Gold and silver are unique because they are the only form of currency that has been accepted for millenia where all other currencies eventually implode.

I bought the bulk of my silver around 10 years ago in the form of rounds, bars and more exotic commemoritve stuff.. I've just looked now and it looks like I've lot around 30% from when I bought and that's without adjusting for inflation.

I used to collect proof gold £10 britannias.. I had a box full I used to buy them for £175 - £225, I see one for sale for. £189 at the dealer I used to use... It looks like gold has gone up 10% in the last 10 years so I've probably lost money on what bits I still hold after adjusting for inflation.

Gotto admit I'm not so keen on gold or silver anymore.. I lost interest when gold became more expensive than platinum, all my wife's jewelry and my wedding ring are platinum.. Looks. Like I've lost money on those purchases too hahaha

@drlong

You do make me chuckle it's always the last chance to sell. There have been a lot of last chances.

"Fair play to you. Great idea to heat the house while you’re at it."

Its 2kw 24/7 across 4 rigs so it's surprising how well it heats.

"
So, ignoring hardware costs, it's roughly £1,120/month profit or 83% margin. Nice! I guess Vitalek has killed the long-term mining prospects, but it's nice while it lasts. Why not do a KickStarter, buy some more machines and start mining some BTC as well. That's something that I'd put some money into!"

Haha I should of. Kickstarterd it all many moons ago, unfortunately the lights will be turned of for ETH mining soon.

It's never been as profitable as it is right now but it will be short lived. I am interested to see how the other cryptos hold up when ETH goes POS. At the moment I can make a decent profit on other tokens but when the emmense hash rate from ETH needs a new home the difficulties are going to rocket..

All interesting stuff, although for the last 2+ months all the rigs have been fully operational and not needing any intervention at all from me which is good but makes it a bit dull too hahaha

@Canetoad

About 0.5 eth a month currently so around £1350 Gross right now with about £230 electric cost. It's a good side line but obviously hasn't always been this good and the good times will end soon with the end of pow for eth.

It's all good though, the rigs have paid for themselves enough times over.. I've got a nice setup with rtx cards but I am still getting great performance from some old gtx 1060s that I have run 24/7 for years.

It's a little bit toasty in the garage though haha, although in. The colder months I bring them inside and put them in differnt rooms.. Which cuts the heating bill down, It still makes me happy to this day knowing I get paid to heat the house.

@pop
"I would very rarely invest in any company for the CEO. But from very early on, I decided that PW is one of the best CEO's that I have ever experienced. It's very unusual. Whether or not that makes a difference, let's see, I think it will, but irrespective, he is definitely an incredible communicator and I respect the guy. I've always had the impression that he is a genuine individual."

Ironically that's the type of talk that actually concerns me, it was the same with lofgran of ntog.. On e bitten and all of that.

@ speel
"Surely this must go up now?"

Nah it doesn't work like that for us, we don't go up with btc we just go down when it drops haha.

I must admit sometimes I do wonder if on the 4 horse race with prizes for 1st, 2nd 3rd, if Ive backed horse 4.

The RNS wasn't bad, in fact arguably I think it was good or atleast as a minimum online with expectations.

The SP is just stuck whilst we wait for some material news on operations or nasdaq.

Yes boring as hell, but no need to panic or be upset. It's just not an adranaline junkies best pick at the moment.

I for one actually like the fact that we sd BTC to cover whatever costs needs covering, it's how I run my home rigs, I sell enough eth to cover the electricity cost. It keeps it all neat and tidy.

Ahh there we go, another news day another drop,how very dull.

"With my broken English I though kev meant
You need a dose of euthanasiam for a minute there chez :)"

Haha,some would say I probably do :)

@Kev

Now that's genuinely gave me a chuckle haha

@kev

"Ever tried being bored and positive? No. I didn’t think so. Luckily, everyone else can be positive for you"

Nah never been bored and positive at the same time, I'm not particularly negative, just bored :).

"Yanks are desperate to break $2, and today it's looking likely. $1.95 already."

But share price-gandalf shouts... You Shall NOT PASS!

ARB the balrog of share prices.. Lots of noise and smoke but just likes to go down and will take you with it.

Don't worry I don't mean it, just bored.

Unfortunately there are alot of idiots in the world who will be parted from thier money in all sorts of unsophisticated scams or bets.. Sometimes it's BTC sometimes its Fiat, sometimes its a car, sometimes land.

It's not specifically btc, its anything.

@Homerun

I mine ETH so I hold it directly and then I have ARB. Holding an growing, news heavy, mining share during a big crypto bull run Should be exciting, I. E. a bit of volatility, some growth, ups and down etc.

We are just flat so it's dull

@canetoad

The irony is when/if the BTC pulls back, we will drop with it ha

@Kev
"That’s amusing. Btc just crashed through $50k and you think people will get bored.

That a 1/10 for thought process."

I put myself under the banner of "people" and I am already bored with the stock. So not so much 1/10 more like 9/10 because I should of said 'some people'.

I'm excited for btc and where the future lies with it, but I'm not invested in btc I'm invested in ARB which should be very similar to being invested in BTC but as we can see from the price action it is not for whatever reason.

So, yes, I am sat here bored of the share price and how static it is in the face of all the excitement that others are getting from being invested in other crypto areas.

It's just a moan because.. Well.. I'm bored.

Hats off to whatever is holding the price within this range, it will go one of two ways I think, either people will get so tired of it they will sell and move on and the stock will be tainted... Or at some point it will snap like an elastic band and its anyone's guess where it lands

@Kev
"I truly cannot comprehend the impatience on this board, unless you are looking for another spike to trade on. At 1% in and out, plus 0.5% stamp duty, I’m waiting for £5-6 before I top slice. When we get to £2 or £3 doesn’t interest me. Neither does the day to day fluctuations of btc. My btc average is about $34k. Just wake me up at $100k, and not before!!"

I want it all and I want it now! There's no way I could hold on til £6 (unless there was then a dividend along the way).

I'll be done at £3 maybe £4 I reckon, the numbers would just be too big for me to turn down (aka I'd lose my bottle and I would cry myself to sleep on every dip).

For me having all my eggs in one basket just makes it boring when it's static.

I ain't getting any younger, how soon is now, gimme gimme. :)
