is it ok to use shitcoins to accrue more BTC? asking for a friend...

What you do with your own time is up to you. It's a fools game trying to pass other peoples ever-changing purity tests. Personally I greatly enjoyed GPU mining for 2 years and grew my stack by doing so. I'd trade most alts for Bitcoin immediately and some I just left as lottery tickets. These days I don't mine anymore and about 3.5% of my "wealth" is shitcoins that I can't be arsed to sell. The rest is Bitcoin.

I will say I learned a lot GPU mining and I feel I can make much better arguments against Ethereum and multi-chain worlds than a lot of dogmatic Bitcoiners because I've experienced the pros and cons deeply myself, instead of relying on what someone else dogmatically told me. It was also a very fun hobby!

I have GPU mined Ethereum, & cpu mined monero.

I can debate you about intricacies for hours, you're not special just looking for a pillow to cry on for that 3.5% sinking down the toilet.

I think you just proved my point about purity tests. Your eagerness to try and insult me is why people shouldn't care. I also don't care if the shitcoins I still have go to zero. I certainly won't cry for them 😂

As a Pickle, I detect some salt, lol. As a say too often, "u do u boo". So many worry about other ppls shit. I really don't get it. ;-P

Do you boo boos looks like you asked a question & I answered, but oh well next time I won't 🤙

Oh, there's no passing a "purity" test, I got ya on that. Everyones definition is different and I'd just spend the rest of time trying to please, not a game I play lol. Did some mining myself, almost embarrassed about the coin, *cough HNT cough*, but I got in early and it gave me the means to grow my sat bag. HNT was just easy af for me cuz I was and RF tech working with wireless microphones. So setting up an antenna and understanding waveforms n etc gave me the edge I needed. Now I think the project went to shit. Not really sure tbh, just letting that wallet fill up. Maybe moon, if not IDGAF. Cheer mate!

I recently sold one of the coins I mined after a random huge price pump. I did a quick google and people were claiming the creator was actually Satoshi, I'm not talking about BSV either. I traded it for Bitcoin and made quite a large % profit (in sats). That's why I say the coins I still hold are more lottery tickets than anything. If they go to zero I don't care and if they moon I just trade them for more sats. I suspect in 5-10 years I'll have no shitcoins left.
