This is a very arrogant and uninformed statement https://youtu.be/TI3Xcei8d_I?si=kYb5LnNVHpHrxsVz
Here are some recent podcasts to pass along. Start with the fundamentals... it will take a little time, but IMO a far better approach than to just trying to convince your wife of number-go-up. Here... in this order: **1. Bitcoin Policy Summit Opening Speech (Natalie Smolenski)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDa\_wP8q3s&ab\_channel=BitcoinMagazine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDa_wP8q3s&ab_channel=BitcoinMagazine) **2. Bitcoin Use Cases (Alex Gladstein)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI3Xcei8d\_I&ab\_channel=WhatBitcoinDid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI3Xcei8d_I&ab_channel=WhatBitcoinDid) **3. Bitcoin Use Cases (Andrew Hohns)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUxaG4UxAw&ab\_channel=TFTC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUxaG4UxAw&ab_channel=TFTC) **4. Bitcoin 101 (Swan bitcoin)** [https://www.swanbitcoin.com/canon/bitcoin-101/](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/canon/bitcoin-101/) **5. Learn Bitcoin (River)** [https://river.com/learn/](https://river.com/learn/) Again, the point of these videos is that it's a start. Sure, there are 1000's of others, but these are super recent, relevant and should at a minimum peak some interest. These will help not only help explain what bitcoin is, but the use cases that it has and how it's changing people's lives right now and potential to drastically change the future, and WHY you should think about owning some now. Hope this helps, and good luck.

This is relevant, but it focuses on the global perspective rather that the western saver/investor: https://youtu.be/TI3Xcei8d\_I?si=i-wCC6NslNwGlvXB
Trezor is fine. These goofy super secure wallets are cool but unnecessary imo. Nobody has successfully stolen from Trezor. It’s small, portable, and a nice added app. I don’t need to keep my BTC in a TI-82 calculator for added protection.
Oh snap! I coded in Fortran as well. Worked on coding orbital parameters into the replacement for the Missile Impact Predictor in BMEWS. I loved it but when the PCs (Apple, Tandy TRS 80, Commander, TI, 99/4A and eventually IBM 8088) emerged from the underbrush, I watched in gleeful amazement those new tech creatures proliferated and altered technological reality in a way that was cataclysmically disruptive for the looming mainframe dinosaurs. It was actually outsiders called “nerds”and “hackers” who intrinsically understood, tamed and domesticated those tiny beasts. We bred them and created flocks on ipx/stx networks. Within a generation through application our new way of working basically took over and reshaped the environment. Today that very same “smart outsider”drama - modernized and abstracted - is being re-enacted in almost every economic sector by “the children of nerds and hackers”. Everyone in this feed here is part of it. I have seen this before. The archaic worlds of finance and banking are being fundamentally, irresistibly and irrevocably changed for the better by the technologies spawned in the minds of the “Savior Generation”. Bitcoin is just one of many really smart beneficially disruptive technologies. I am so damned proud of the generations born after 1980. My pride is tinged with a bit of narcissism because they remind me of me.
I’d be surprised if it’s only 267000 but I don’t have my TI-83 to confirm
I can feel it pumping in the air tonight. Oh Lord. Oh LoOoord. HODL on, HODL OooOOoOonnn https://youtu.be/Yaxq3iggMdM?si=u7SP_7TI9_lxhDHA
Thanks for the sincere reply. I’m just shitposting tho https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/8TgBf6H6TI

I used to mine bitcoin on my TI-994A back in the seventies. The hashrate was much lower then.
would a decent gaming rig with a decent GPU work? I have a 1050TI in a 2k rig and all my electricity is free from Solar? My powerbank is almost always at max and regularly selling back into the grid... would rather receive the excess in BTC... how would I get started?
Ok op, did not read all comments here so not sure if someone have given a balanced answer yet. If you have a PC, you cannot directly mine bitcoin. This is not going to work because the hashrate you can get will be so low you will not make much at all. Maybe a few cents per week. Also keep in mind while the pc is mining, you basically won’t be able to use whatever resource is being used for the mining. If you use GPU, you won’t be able to game, and if you game, you’ll have to stop mining. For CPU mining, it’s worse as you will basically make the pc unusable if all cores/threads are mining. Also the PC will get noisy and disturb your sleep, as well as generate more heat which can be problematic in summer too. If you want to mine with a PC, the best way is to do it with something that has relatively low hashrate requirement for cpu or gpu and pay you back in bitcoin or ethereum for your mining service. One of the service I know of is nicehash. Read how it works etc, it’s pretty simple to use and mine with. https://www.nicehash.com/cpu-gpu-mining Just keep in mind to get the BTC paid out to you, you will need to collect enough BTC before nicehash will allow you to transfer it out. Otherwise it will sit on the account and never be paid out. No idea how much btc you need before pay out, but I did try nicehash back in 2017 and it worked very well. Now about your rig, you probably need something with a decent hashrate. At the time I was doing it with a 1080TI and managed to get about 50$ equivalent in 2 weeks or so iirc. If you got older gear, don’t bother. If the mining disturb your sleep badly, do not keep mining, you will pay for this after some time with health issues. It’s not worth it.
