Elon tweeted again, calling Bitcoin’s energy usage “insane”

Was Elon not aware of how proof of work works when he bought it? He’s very bad for the market at this point. Unless you’re Cardano apparently.

The strategy right now is exactly what you did. Hodl stables for a year and a half or swing trade the way down.

He's not wrong...but agree there's no way he was unaware of this up until yesterday.

Last post on the matter then I’m moving on, hopefully...

Does Elon also realize that the Bitcoin network will validate blocks whether or not Tesla is engaging in Bitcoin transactions? It’s not like the network is using additional energy as a result of Tesla receiving Bitcoin...

Not sure why you don’t just announce an initiative to fund green energy nationwide for mining or something. Then at least you don’t hurt your company and her treasury reserve asset.

Funny. Bitcoin uses energy to create value, Tesla cars literally burn energy.

This is what should give you an idea of the actual floor.

My strategy for some time has been to be in a small amount of projects.

I haven't changed from:

BTC
ETH
ADA
DOT
VET
CRO
DFI
VGX

BTC/ETH/ADA are by far my largest holdings and I actually just recently liquidated VGX to more ADA. I only have CRO for use of their 2% cash back debit card for Crypto.com.

DFI is a relatively new DEX operating on a BTC fork so got in a little early on that to farm yield, but nothing major.

i'm guessing he's just doing this for the lulz, but that could come at a dramatic cost via the SEC

you buy the specific token or coin that you want to staek. You offer it to the company you are using as a staked coin(usually have to keep for a certain time to start getting rewards). You then receive an APY back usually in more of the token you are staking.

so lets say you have 10 btc and you plan to hold long term. Instead of leaving in a nano ledger or on CB, you move to Celsius. You earn 6.2% On this while you coins are just sitting there. When you remove the coins, the coins are worth the price at that time plus you will have grown the sats through the APY.

How exactly does staking work?


So I can go to Celsius and stake all of my bitcoin and I earn 12% interest every year AND keep my coin?

What’s the catch?

Well, you wont earn 12% on BTC. More like 6%.

The catch is liquidity of these platforms. They are loaning/using the BTC you have there and can lose it. That is the risk...

I can see ada doing real well with their pos narrative while also helping out poor countries in Africa narrative. Virtue signalers may eat it up.
