Yeah. Earning it.
Discussion
how was the bitcoin you were paid with acquired?
Probably the same way I got it; exchanged for a good and service.
What are you trying to get at?
shouldn't you be able to trace the transaction through the stamps and find out? that's the entire point of bitcoin: to trace to proof of work. otherwise: it's worthless stake. seems odd you wouldn't know. i'm not trying to "get at" anything. you posted a brag about the usefulness of bitcoin as a financial tool, and since you are a taking a leadership role, it's your job to explain how you achieved it so others could follow. i was asking questions to clarify how what you stated was possible.

you shouldn't - how are people suppose to learn from you if you won't describe your process? it sounds like you're totally set up with your secure lifestyle. how you built your bitcoin stacks is such an important share. since you're a leader in this space.
All Bitcoin is mined, and it basically costs 1 Bitcoin to mine 1 Bitcoin.
Nope. It's similar to how it costs about one ounce of gold to mine an ounce of gold.
Anyway since you obviously believe you know everything already, why are you asking?
"nope": as in the white paper is incorrect? ... how do you interpret the white paper? it's coded.
mining gold ends in a solid object you possess; data mining is combing for digital stake (because it's not yours unless you produced it - if it was, validator networks wouldn't exist)in data which is not yours - unless of course you restrict your mining to just your data alone...
i thought the entire purpose of an open source bitcoin community was to discuss and explore, and to maximize the rate of exchange of information? that is the point of bitcoin, isn't it? the exchange of data/information as a form of value? the more we discuss - the more "money" you get?
it's just a conversation.
