derekullo I cashed out right at the Bitcoin/Ethereum peak last October. Wringing out the life of decades old gaming computers was fun in the beginning … back in 2018 or so when any old computer could make a profit mining with CPU or GPU. It also made covid a bit less boring … thankfully covid never really made me sick. The S&P500 by itself has increased by 10% since last October, whereas Bitcoin has lost 38%. Some people may still be making a profit mining bitcoin, but it definitely isn't as good a store of value as it was promised to be. Reply

Bitcoin is extremely traceable due to the ledger, it is not anonymous at all. But you are right, it can't be frozen and is freely able to be used, but its not like Monero with actual masking of identity to transaction. Reply
