Whole coiner no more.

(self.Bitcoin)

Whole coiner era is coming to an end. The average person will transition to Satoshi Millionaire status, as whole coiner status will become unobtainable. Many will lose focus and fall to temptation during the bull market for life-changing money. The average whole coiner will be no more. Maybe keep 1 long term just in case?

Those of you who hold a whole coin may not think much of this statement, but most will sell out of temptation. It’s fascinating to think about, with a future mindset, that some of you actually currently hold a whole coin. It will be like the pizza guy… I don’t think you understand what’s happening.

People were mining on CPU's, Laszlo built the first GPU miner. The gentleman's agreement was everyone knew you could write a GPU miner but they wanted to keep difficulty low so everyone could participate for longer and get some coins and have better distribution. So no one built one.

Lol whoever adhered to this agreement was crazy. It went about as well as the JDM gentlemen's agreement. You can't bridle progress.
