Title: This is just the beginning of the end.
Post by: kwukduck on January 16, 2016, 12:20:24 AM
-25% in 48 hours. No investment other than bitcoin will get rid of your money this fast!

With Mike Hearns revelation to the public the collapse has only started.
In the coming weeks more dirt will be revealed and the price can easily go down another 50-75%.
Remember Mikes blog is only now starting to gain attention. This is a small thing compared to what's coming.

I see a lot of people suggesting it's a good time to buy.

How about everyone just takes a walk instead? No need to risk anything. Just get away from the computer sit next to the river and relax.

Even with this big loss, it is not the other end yet. There is a long way before bitcoin reaches its end. Because there are a lot of buyers who will buy on 300$, 200$ and so on.

Wow, so many doomsday threads going on here.  I say that this is just a dip--a big one, but a dip nonetheless and I believe we'll rebound soon.  I could be totally wrong, we could be going to zero but I don't think so.

It's a downward spiral. Already 30% of miners have shutdown their operation over this crash. Making the network significantly weaker and slower yet again.

Bitcoins scalability problem doesn't go away with 'oh it will be fine, the price will recover'. Besides an unfounded position it's also a selfish one not considering the potential of Bitcoin for this entire world. There is serious work that needs to be done for Bitcoin to survive.

Mike Hearn revelation only reveals that the banksters are nervous as fuck about Bitcoin taking over, so they had to resort to this pathetic move. I hope people are buying all of this cheap coins before we are recovering in the next weeks. 0.12 coming soon with lots of improvements, sigwit and 2MB in april. Haters will commit suicide soon.

Let's remember who Mike Hearn is before FUDsters get too excited:

that amount is utterly insignificant, it won't change a damn thing, it's like a very big farm, is shutting down 1 single s7 out of thousands

You're right, the mining power has recovered a bit. Question is for how long, with the price continuing to plummet I feel the only thing that can save is from this downward spiral is an upgrade to Bitcoin Core resolving the biggest issue at hand, the enormous backlog of unconfirmed transactions and scaling problem.

What enormous backlog of unconfirmed transactions?

If there is an enormous backlog then I need to go to Vegas because I must be really lucky because transactions I send and receive go through in a timely manner...

I like when he say white majority wins after creating big mess. In this I believe, white man brings evil and chaos everywhere. I think we will survive this, and many more things. We just need to believe!

I don't see any effect either, transactions are going fine. As far as price is concerned it is a little down but that doesn't mean that it will continue to go down, it might bounce back again tomorrow.

So, so many weak hands. Well while you lot are panicking and getting rid off your bitcoins i just went out and bought some more . Why do people fall for this everytime?? Instead of running around screaming the worlds on fire why not buy some at this exceptinally cheap price and profit?  Either way this doesnt matter, all it means is more profit for me.

As I stated in another thread -

Dont worry it gives the "Its the bottom, great buying opportunity, buy now or regret it!" guys some fresh ammo lol

Never get emotionally attached to an investment, know when its time to sell and dont get too greedy.

It's good to buy comparing with the last week price, but the are higher chance that the price will go down even more, even though today the price has been increased a little bit ($9)

Let the price fall even harder. It's not a problem as I can make profits no matter what. I love this volatility. Nothing is going to end kwukduck, don't get happy just because the price came down significantly. Right now it is a great moment to start buying some Bitcoins for those who were waiting for sub $400 prices. Don't wait any longer and start buying!

pretty easy to calculate, miner are profiting 0.6 a month for every single antminer S7, i suspect all the farm are running those already

this baby consume only $45 a month, with the electricity that the average farm use(0.05), so we are comparing a earning of almost $240 versus a consumption of a mere $45

no matter the additional cost, there is plenty of profit for them

Mike's blog is a must read for everyone interested in Bitcoin: https://medium.com/@octskyward/
It is also quite clear for people who knew him and read his blog earlier than two days ago (the famous post) that he has already been quite negative about Bitcoin for a longer time. that is why, his last post is not that surprising and shouldn't have that much impact.
Plus, the core of the idea behind Bitcoin is to be decentralised, meaning it can leave well without Mr. Hearn, as well as with him.

It should happen soon. Not that there are big reasons to grow further, but at the moment we are in the no-man's land with quite a lot of good support underneath.
We just positively tested the support between $400 and $350 for the third consecutive time, and now we should rebound a little. I wouldn't expect a big move, but if you are a daily trader you may ride this wave.

Which the miners chosen their side. it's making sense who've won.
I think Mike Hearn should have tried harder instead of crying like a baby selling his coins.
