PTOY already works with medical data, and GRID with scientific research, but people dont talk about them.

I would want to have a token which stores books in its blockchain. You could write content for it, in the form of e-books, and be paid with its tokens. It would be better than Amazon KDP.

I know about Everipedia, so I think it will be possible to have such model for e-books in the future.

Its too late. You cannot sell now. You'll have to endure the pain, because the profit will be minimal, and the price can revert at any time.

Now? It always was.

But the State printing fiat money (which is backed by nothing) and inflating the price of everything was never a conspiracy. Its pretty real, and nobody complains about it.

81% fall since ATH. Thats a good buy.

The situation with bitcoin is fishy, to say the least. I have been following the mining costs, and the relation of hashrate to the market price, and what worries me, here, is not the bear market itself, but the fact that bitcoin is way below its mining costs. Not only bitcoin, but litecoin too. A situation like that can lead to a breaking of small mining companies, which would increase centralization in the hands of a few.

You cant say the same about ethereum, which, although also in a bear market, is still profitable to mine.

Knowing that bitmain is the main miner in the bitcoin market, and that the biggest mining companies have joined CME futures, what is the probability that bitcoin cash might jump in the next three weeks?

I have been thinking about buying it, and even researched for some wallet that would not conflict with the Core wallet (the ABC wallet did that).

Those who have been following bitcoin cash, can you give some advice about it? What are the prospects about it?

Thats the problem with most cryptocurrencies: they are all pegged to the bitcoin price. If bitcoin goes down, they do the same.

Theres no coin to hedge against bitcoin. And since we are entering the most critical phase of the current bear market, we run out of options.

Yeah, but ether is not below its mining costs:

Whereas bitcoin is:

Theres something fishy going on about bitcoin, something related to futures. Something like big mining companies making bets on it, employing hedge funds that make money on those markets, and then using this money to cover their mining costs. Something that will corner the market and make smaller companies go bankrupt, leading to mining centralization in the hands of a few.

I also want some advice about ether. I have been checking the price on the last days, and it seems to be unpeging itself from bitcoin. Will it go up? What the charts do indicate?

I was going to buy bitcoin, but no way to do that, the price keeps falling and I think it will stay like that for months. So Im going to a altcoin, but most of them are pegged to bitcoin. Ether and ether classic seems to be the only ones going against the bearish waves. Is it a good time to buy?

Its just going to the pre-fork price, so that we be convinced to buy bee-cash and then resume the fork drama. Without drama, bitcoin cant go up anymore.

Why Satoshi committed suicide?

I would love to agree to you, but I cannot.

Tether printing is just a meme, invented by conspiracy theorists on the level of r0ach.

It would be so good to be real. If it was, we would be at one million already, and able to eradicate poverty from Earth.

Unfortunatelly, it is not. Tether printing is just material for FUD, to drive the price down.

What strikes me in this case is the hipocrisy: everybody FUD over tether printing, but nobody FUD over fiat printing. If people where to FUD over fiat printing, in the same way they FUD over tether printing, bitcoin would have a higher price now.

About bear markets: 2013-2015 was a bear market, and didnt last 3 years. Bitcoin moves faster than the stock market, just do some research.

Some facts:

1: a 5% rise is not a bull-run.
2: the mining cost is above 15k.
3: the big miners are using the futures markets to cover their costs.
4: banks and financial institutions are playing the market, to force you out.
5: banks and financial institutions also wants you to cry for regulation from the State, which is their ally.
6: in TA, a double bottom leads to a bull-run, but we had six bottoms already, one after another, and nothing happened.
7: you should put no more than 15% of your savings into crypto.

My guess is that we are going for a pre-fork price, something around $2500.

Scenario 2 from OP seems to be working. He just didnt predict it was to happen in a bear market.

Its not a issue if central banks do this all the time.

Since nobody complains about central banks printing money out of thin air, I think its fair to not complain about a private company printing tether out of thin air.

If you complain about tether printing, but dont complain about fiat printing, then you are an accomplice of the fiat system.

The more I read these threads, the more Im convinced we are going to 2k.

Denial is a powerful force. The more the denial, the bigger will be the panic. And thats the danger, thats why I believe we are going for a 90% fall from ATH.

A 5% rise is not a bull run. We need to be at 10k to even start considering one.

I will stay, but I have to say to you: this could be prevented.

If the market was inside a blockchain, it could have its lows encoded on it, and the lowest price would be the mining cost.

The mining cost is currently 15k. This is the cost to mine one bitcoin in one year. Just imagine a "bear market" in such conditions, it would protect the small miners, allowing decentralization of mining. And people would play more safe, allowing for more adoption.

The way it is now, its like a wild west. And regulation from the State will only turn it worse, since the State is aligned to the financial institutions that created this situation. Bitcoin will fail as a currency, as no merchant will accept something that can fall to 90% of its value in just six months. The only way to solve this, is through code, and with a parallel market, unrelated to the current model of centralized exchanges.

There was a 94% decline in 2011. So we may still fall to around $1000.

I prefer the question: why is it going so slow?

Permabears are against cryptocurrencies. They shill for fiat and precious metals, both controlled by the triarchy of enslavement (State, banks and mega-corporations). Thats why they make predictions of three digits for 30 years.

Since the futures market is the personification of the permabear, this may explain why is it going so slow. We should dive to 2k already and be back to 10k in October.
