Title: Crypto dump, but Xcoins the real losers
Post by: rikkejohn on August 18, 2014, 12:02:19 AM
It appears to me, and someone can object if he or she has figures, that Xcoins are the bigest losers in this dump. I suspect the minor ones to disapear, and perhaps DRK will tread water for a while. Monero will cease to exist, surely.

BTC will probably spring back, which means LTC will probably follow.

The scrypt coins are currently fighting the idea that Asic means death. I have no idea why that would be the case.

Hardware upgrades all the time. This is a just a shift from GPU to Asic, and not everyone will have the Asic that can sweep up every coin.

More likely is that anything that can only be mined with a CPU is the one to fall.

So BTC, LTC, maybe DRK, perhaps NMC, PPC the only coins that could rebound for a period of more than a month.


DRK is the one I'm undecided on

Hundreds of thousands of gpus will just leave the market and give up? They will make their own market, if its not x-algo it will be something else.

BTC asics, gpus were dead, ltc asics, gpus were dead, x11 worthless, gpus dead. Im still running a 65% profit margin with my farm.

Let me help you to understand why. Because scrypt was created only in order to be mined without asics. Now that there are asics there is no point of them to exist.



How much did you lose m8?  Instead of trying to revive your almost dead coins try to invest on something that isnt premined and is actually doing the work it is supposed to do ;)

well it wouldn't be the case, think you'll find half the FUD spreaders intend being on the ltc buy side at some point, hence their massive amount of ltc is dead type posts.
