70's From what I understand the reason most of the mining is done in China and Russia is the electricity costs are much lower.

Helium mining sounds interesting. I don't have a computer capable to even think about doing it. My son is currently building one though that may just be the ticket.

They have been shutting down mining in China for the last year saying it’s costing to much energy but the real reason are to many people were making to much money.You can use bitcoin in China and lots of people are exchanging it between there selves for good and services and China doesn’t like that.china is also working on their own digital currency,this in my option is one of the biggest threats to freedom in the world.Our government is also talking about going digital currency,We must never let this happen if we do they can totally control what you can buy ,they can seize all you’ve money and if everything is digital any future earning could still seized as we will all be assigned a digital wallet for life.

I understand the concept but who knows who is behind it, backing it and still cant figure out why they want greenbacks to buy bit coins. Only so many to be made can't counterfeit them? Even government computers are being hacked into nothing is safe on the internet. Best investment I know for long term is good land you can live on and produce food on. As far as digital currency we are on it now for the most part how much does the average person buy with cash? Stocks, bonds, food, services is for the most part purchased on line or with credit card its all digital now. You sell your furs you get a check that goes in the bank into an account its digital. The banks dont hold all the cash its all numbers that transfer from account to account. Most folks on this site don't think much of Bill Gates but he is one of the wealthiest men in the world and he is the biggest land owner in America and buying more all the time. My thinking its all about resources and those that have it will never want and eventually control the world. What are most wars over? resources to keep things going.

The value today is measured in US Dollars. IMHO Bitcoin will have failed if it's always denominated in central bank controlled currencies.

No. It's one form of imaginary money used to purchase another form of imaginary money.

Fed reserve notes (what everyone thinks of as a dollar these days) is fiat currency, which means imaginary.
Along that same line of thought, Cryptos could also be considered imaginary.

However, since we can purchase tangible goods with either, "imaginary" is more hyperbole than fact.

Thats interesting. We've been programmed to get excited when we have a big handful of ink on paper. The more the Gubmint prints the less it's worth. Now there's many more digital dollars than paper dollars.

At the Fort Mackinaw area (between the Lower peninsula and Upper) it was the trade for pelts from 18 hundreds and the gateway to the west by way of water.

49 but I do have a question If you own Bitcoin the only way to make money from it is to sell it if it goes up ?
Or is it like stock and pays a dividend?

Do you listen to what I say? I'm never selling it as you put it for cash to make money. To me it's insurance for what I believe is coming. I will use it when it's a universal medium of exchange and I'll trade it for goods and services

I'll worry about the income taxes when that happens. Who knows what the tax laws will be then. If I die? The kids will get it, then it will be their problem.

Here is a good graph showing BTCs previous corrections.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/bitcoin-historical-corrections-from-all-time-highs/

As of now it's the sixth largest drop. Most likely this one isn't done yet
