Was c++ for early mining easy or hard for people who arent technically savvy in early 2009?

I've been trading crypto futures for a few years now. Made decent money in the good stretches, then gave most of it back — usually the same way: too much size, and holding losers way longer than I should have.

Recently I went back through my old trades and it was honestly uncomfortable. Most of my big losses weren't from bad market calls. They were the same 2–3 habits repeated over and over.

So, honest question for people who've been at this a while:

1. Are you actually up overall, after everything?

2. What's the one habit that cost you the most money?

Not looking for signals or strategies — just curious how many people are still standing.

I am very uneducated when its comes to bitcoin. I know a little bit but i need to use bitcoin for online transactions. Where do i start and how can i make it more privacy focused as bitcoin is still pretty traceable. I dont really want to use a bitcoin atm due to the high fees as i am only buying a small amount. Any advice will help!

I pretend to save money on bitcoin, but i wanna avoid losing those funds.. any advice??

It starts with a question: "who decides how much money exists, and what happens to you when they decide wrong?"

Basically, your paycheck buys less than it did five years ago. Rent outran wages. And the "safe" move — cash sitting in a savings account — quietly loses value every year. That's not bad luck or bad budgeting.

Here's the part nobody explains: when the money supply expands, the new money doesn't show up everywhere at once. It hits banks, governments, and asset holders first. By the time it reaches a wage earner, prices have already moved. People who owned things got richer, but people who saved money got poorer. Nobody voted on that.

Bitcoin's pitch is narrow: it's money with rules nobody can change. 21 million, ever. No committee can print more during an election year or a crisis. You can hold it without a bank's permission, send it across a border on a Sunday without a wire fee, and no one can freeze it because your name got flagged. For most Americans that sounds abstract… but for someone in Argentina, Lebanon, Nigeria, or Venezuela, it's the difference between keeping their savings and watching them evaporate.

You don't need Bitcoin the way you need water. You need it the way you need a fire exit — most days it's irrelevant, and then one day it's the only thing that matters.

The case was never that Bitcoin is perfect money. It's that having an alternative nobody controls is worth something — and that "something" gets more valuable the less people trust the system they're stuck with.
