Title: What if BTC=$25. Will u b effected?
Post by: stex2009 on June 23, 2013, 05:49:02 AM
Wonder how miners and mining companies will get effected if this happens. Lot of people are betting on heavy hardware to mine these coins. How will they get effected? Or will buy more if we see BTC at these levels?

I imagine that would depend on the reason for the drop in price

Perhaps what's trying to be addressed is: If BTC tok a massive drop right now, will you be waiting for your fiat to come around at a decent price and cash out or try to work with BTC?

EDIT: I'm afraid I didn't read the post. whoops. So I have follow up q's. Are mining rigs prices at least partially set on prospective BTC mined? well that would be a dilemma.

Many miners would drop out because of this and choose other alts.

I would be effected by the loss of about 75% of my investment, lol. Would alts stay the same (value vs btc) this scenario?

Guess you'd be one of the few raising it's value.

Currently I think the price is artificially high.
$25 I think would be too low, I would be selling stuff just to buy.

$60 to $70 is where I suspect it belongs at the present, but I suspect that current prices are below where it will belong in the future.

Are bitcoins actually going to take a massive fall like this soon?

One of the few?  I doubt it will ever get this low again because so many will be buying it up at bargain prices.

Wouldn't people just switch to another alt coin as the price would be so low that miners would see no profitability in mining? It would take a REALLY dedicated community to bring it back from the dead.

I have faith that it will recover so I won't panic and keep mining. ;D

I would stock up on bitcoins at $25/coin. That being said, I agree with some of the other posters that bitcoin will temporarily dip below $100 which for many could be a buying opportunity.

Not sure that the price would rise back up though.

It has already come back from the dead before. Some might jump ship to another alt coin, but all that's effectively doing is separating the wheat from the chaff; the weak from the strong; the prospectors from the believers.

I think the chance of Bitcoin going that low are next to non-existent. There are so many people out there prepared to rush in with buying support after all of the spectacular gains that currency has made over the last few years, even if they're just speculating to sell it off in the short-term. If BTC did hit $25, I know I would be hoovering them up, and it wouldn't stay there for long.
