I have thought that one key advantage crypto (bitcoin, litecoin, Dash, monero etc.) has over gold is that its supply level is fixed and transparent, but can this or features make crypto more valuable than gold?

Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) ("Marathon" or "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency mining company, today announced that it has entered into a Long Term Purchase Contract with Bitmain for the purchase of 10,500 next generation Antminer S-19 Pro ASIC Miners.

Marathon’s Chief Executive Officer, Merrick Okamoto, stated, “The execution of this contract with Bitmain represents a milestone event for our company. This investment is expected to result in Marathon being one of, if not the largest, Bitcoin miner in North America.”

Okamoto continued, “Today’s news comes on the heels of recent incremental business growth through the purchase of what now is expected to total 13,520 next generation miners generating 1.55 Exahash upon full installation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bitmain for working with us on this Long Term Purchase Contract, which locks in the purchase price, a substantial discount from the current retail price, and greatly reduces the risk of price increases to the Company and potential shortage of Miner availability in the future.”

"We are pleased to have provided Marathon with Bitmain’s latest generation of Antminer S19 Pro mining hardware. Equipped with the most advanced chipset currently available, the high-performance and low power consumption of the miners will significantly improve operations of Marathon's mining business. This collaboration continues to strengthen our cooperation and will extend to future work together as Marathon expands its presence in the mining industry,” said Irene Gao, Antminer Sales Director of NCSA Region, Bitmain.

Additionally, 1,360 Miners were delivered to our Hosting Facility today, and the Company anticipates that all of these Miners will be deployed this weekend and added to our current 700 Miners presently in operation, bringing our currently installed Miners to 2,060 which will produce 184.6 PH/s. Bitmain will also deliver 500 previously purchased S-19 Pro Miners in September and 500 in November. After the installations this weekend go operational next week, the Company’s yields are expected to generate prospective positive net cash flow, based on the current price of Bitcoin and Hashrate difficulty.

Google never filter scam or phishing site unless there is no report. When you are going to do a financial deal then we have to be more careful. Why should we depend on Google ads? If you are using a site then bookmark it if you can't remember the site address. We are using smartphones and computers, so we should improve yourself as a smart guy as well. Scammer gets success due to our stupidity. Everyone knows about the most of scam methods, but likely we just ignore to learn.

On the contrary, it looks like this weekend is very different as the price seems to get over that $11700 and moving to $11800-$11900. So I guess when we are in a bull run those expectations are thrown out of the window because we really don't know what to expect.

And as the market is open 24x7, there could be some scalping during the weekends. And here we go again, seems that $12k is just around.

Maybe one of the scam hunters will check the team in more detail, but at first this is a group of Russians/Ukrainians led by Roman Prokopev whose company is located in Hong Kong. I looked at the list of blacklisted countries and in addition to the already well-known forbidden countries, the list contains complete USA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia...

As for the promises they make, understand it only as promises and nothing more - who else gives 0.10 BTC just like that to anyone who registers? I personally would avoid any interaction with this service, but it is a matter for each individual - it does not seem to me that anything good will come out of all this.

It's making the resistance and the support tighter this time.

Those rejections that bitcoin took for hitting $12,000 were a good sign. Now, looks good and better on $11,700 as it shows stably moving as it is about to break that rejected price.

Hey all crypto loving guys,
What is your thinking about XRP now? Many of people think positive about Xrp (Ripple). And it was almost great all over crypto coin.

Wondering if there are any trading competitions going on for Cryptos. I'd be interested in taking part. Also, where to post if there is a competition going on(for crypto specifically).
