THIS THING IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE

You have to laugh, when you see all these Nay sayers, cherrie picking certian things, to bash the currency.... When it was $1000+ they were the same people, singing it's praise's.

Let's digest 2014

1. it was the year, where HUGE companies like DELL / Microsoft and atleast 5000 smaller merchants in only Taiwon, adopted Bitcoin.
2. Huge amounts of Fed coins were put back into circulation, when it was sold on auction. {Some are kept in storage}
3. Miners are dumping almost ALL coins back on exchanges to be converted to fiat to pay for electricity costs etc.

So the situation now, is this :

We have HUGE amounts of coins being sold for fiat, more than previous years. {Merchants like Dell / Microsoft is definately not hoarding coins}
We have coins being brought back into circulation, which was previously hoarded. {Hoarders buying products from these NEW merchants coming in}
We have Fed coins, perceived as being back in circulation. {Previously, the Fed protected those coins and it was not availlable to the public}
We have a higher percentage of coins being converted to fiat from the miners side. {As the price goes down, they have to sell more coins to pay for the electricity}

The result :

There are more coins availlable, and this push the price down.

The solution :

1. Merchants should hoard some coins, and not convert everything directly to fiat {In the long run, this will increase their profits}
2. People buying coins from the Fed autions, should see this as a long term investment and slowly put them back into circulation.
3. Most difficult option - Miners will have to find ways to reduce the amount of coins, they put into circulation. {What they are forced to do now, will even hurt them more, in the future}

A simpler alternative:

- price is being dumped down to hell
- price will be pumped up to heaven sooner or later

Rest is fluffery.

I have included the two requested sheets in the document.

$200 USD @ $0.13 kwh


$200 USD @ $0.10 kwh


Shared document link. There is dedicated sheets for each hardware type and estimated difficulty return.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated Smiley

...
a low bitcoin price is the *BEST* time for mining. low bitcoin price = lower income taxes on mined coins
...

When BTC price finally hits zero => no taxes at all => everyone buys mining gear => hashrate explodes Cheesy
You guys are logicians IRL, amirite?

Before price hit 0.01 somebody will buy 50% of the bitcoin in existence, cornering the market. Then you'll see what a pump looks like Smiley

They are shutting down some of their hardware, the unprofitable one. If they were to replace it soon (eg: in a week) then why doing the announcement and shutting down GHS on their client's face entirely?

What can this mean for the Bitcoin network?Huh?

Slightly slower confirmation time for the next 2 weeks, starting when they shut down this hardware (at next difficulty adjustment, just now apparently). But nothing more, there are other players, and the incentive-based mining network is a self-regulating system. It will manage.

suspending cloud mining doesn't necesserily mean that they stop mining internally, does it ?

That's why it will drop 10% instead of 30%+

unlikely it will drop like that. The cloudmining contracts might end, but the hardware will still exist. It may likely just be used for CEX's private mining.

I expect a 0% diff change because a lot of 1w+/gh gear will shut off but be replaced by newer S5/SP20 gear

They are shutting down some of their hardware, the unprofitable one. If they were to replace it soon (eg: in a week) then why doing the announcement and shutting down GHS on their client's face entirely?

This is mere sensationalism by piss-poor "journalists" and the retarded echo chamber of "social media".

worth noting that the 255 bottom was also the highest 2 digits hexadecimal possible (ff), coincidence?
yes ofc, you trolls, i'm just kidding

Here's the question- where do I SELL my coins? I've got a significant portion on Bitstamp,but I'm not verified at Kraken yet, and like hell I'm willing to put more coins INTO bitstamp. :-)

Verification at Kraken is extremely easy (up to tier 2). If i remember correctly you just need to verify your mobile phone number.
