Thanks to Biden's mismanagement you cannot rely on even that to back up the greenback now, or indeed any currency that employs the greenback as a reserve currency.

As you keep me satisfied in bed, I promise you that.
I suspect bitcoin is highly correlated to these stimulus measures as well.

Put your money, 80% of it say in a fixed interest account and don't touch it for a year.
Give yourself a breathing space and don't be in a rush to buy anything.
I wouldn't let you spend anything.
Quote from: JOE on June 15, 2024, 01:58:23 PMI'm interested in acquiring bitcoin or crypto.Honeybunch, did you trade the chocolate coins you bought with your allowance I give you for comic books again?
However, I just don't wanna pay for it.
Anyone else in the same boat?
I just don't wanna pay for something which I don't consider 'real' or isn't a tangible asset like gold, land or a similar physical item. I also think that it's beneath me for something which used to sell for $1 to $12 each and now it's being flogged around for $60,000 US or more. That's the equivalent of 25 ounces of pure Gold.
There's no way I'd spend money on something like that.
Anyways I've started to research how it's possible to acquire bitcoin or crypto in the year 2024, without paying for it.
However, a few of you here and in other forums have scoffed at some of these ideas. Yet I'd like to revisit them see if they are still feasible.
Essentially, there are 2 methods I think a person could acquire bitcoin or crypto for FREE, without paying for it.
1. Bitcoin mining
2. 'Earning' bitcoin
3. Other methods
1. A number of you here have said this is no longer possible in 2024 like it was in the past. But I've thought perhaps(?) this might be possible if you have an infinite renewable energy source to power a bitcoin rig/computer
a. How about Solar power?
b. or Hydro Power (such as running stream)
These power sources you don't pay for, they are just provided by nature and they power they bitcoin rig(s). Plus they are infinite provided the rigs themselves don't break down.
2. Earning bitcoin
...that is, selling NFT's or Non-Fungible tokens. I've heard that people just create digital assets/entities such as photos, videos or illustrations created on their home PC's, upload them to cyberspace/NFT forums and people pay for them in ethereum on the block chain. So I'm not sure if there's still a market for this sorta think in 2024. Or...if they acquire enough ethereum and it's possible to sell them for hard cash and convert or buy bitcoin thrreafter. While you'd be paying for the bitcoin, at least you don't plunk down humongous amounts of cash or yer paycheck doing it. More like the crypto was given to you through earnings selling NFT's.
3. Other
....but I dont' know of any. Perhaps someone can suggest alt methods if they are aware of them
Anyways, I don't suggest that any of the above are viable/feasible. But yer more than welcome to poke holes in my assumptions or offer your own suggestions.
Just curious, that's all.
Quote from: JOE on June 15, 2024, 02:12:27 PMwell, in that case, how about making NFT's, selling them online in NFT forums/marketplaces, then whatever they pay in, convert them into bitcoin? Likewise, I suppose it's like buying silver and if it goes up enough, or faster than the rate of gold, sell the silver and buy the gold. so maybe crypto operates along the same lines/principle?

You'd be better off buying bit coin on the next dip.
