as for the shift in price.

imagine it this way

take it as a percentage
say 40% was in china at $0.04
say 10% was in khazahkstan at $0.05
say 20% was in america was at $0.12
say 30% was in europe was at $0.18

the average would be 9.9cents per %
now lets take out china

say 40% was in khazahkstan at $0.05
say 30% was in america was at $0.12
say 30% was in europe was at $0.18

the average would be 11cents per %
so although this is demo numbers and % per region is not accurate(random demo numbers). it just demonstrates the average is now 11cent

what you actually find out is this though
instead of 40% (chinese) willing to sell coin based on a low cost of $0.04% . meaning 40% would sell bitcoin real cheap if the price was to crash.
now its a situation of in this demo only 30% willing to sell at the next price point as the MINIMUM anyone willing to sell

so the situation is simple. if we imagine that the thousands of asics needed to mine in china led to say a combined cost of hardware, facility, labour of say $20k. ($4k being electric)

khazahkstan would become the next lowest cost. whereby facility, labour hardware is $22 and electric $5k makes the lowest cost mining now $27k instead of $24k

and as said instead of china 40% willing to at worse case sell down to $24k..
the newer situation in this demo. now has the lowest sentiment now being only 30% wanting to sell down to $27k worse case

if you have 1 BTC and the market is at around the ATH and your unsure if you want to sell out or wait out for next ATH..
.. the answer is not binary.. you can do both..

EG how about sell 50% of your 1btc.
if the price drops you can use that $30k fiat to buy more then 0.5btc at a lower price
if the hoarded unspent original 0.5btc goes up in price you will get more then $30k
thus win win

if thte price just stagnates for a year. no major up or down
what you can then do is look at other official assets and find ones that are on their yearly LOW. and use that $30k fiat to buy in and sell out to increase that $30k to more.

just remember all good advice
1. dont put all eggs into one basket(dont throw all wealth into one choice)
2. buy low sell high

what many also find is never look to throw large investment into one thing. and then hope for a 2x in a limited time.
many people prefer to work with 10 allotments + of their wealth. and look for quick or easy 1-3% movements. knowing these 1-3% overtime add up to the 2x factor. but with less risk. less stagnated waiting/hoping/stressing.

as to what to invest in.
make sure its legit. EG not some crapcoin thats dev/HQ team is hiding behind proxies with glossy pamphlets of overpromises.
make sure the price of a legit asset is not in its seasonal high
make sure the investment/transaction fee's of getting in-out are not going to wipe out 1%+, meaning you dont have to wait for higher % just to move. thus able to grab profits sooner/faster

oh, and he is from UK. and atleast 6 years ago lived in birmingham

and he has admitted and associated addresses have shown proof of his use of mixers. meaning he has admitted to a crime of laundering.

so 30 seconds has found enough info for UK police to spend more time on someone that confessed to a crime

oh and his binance hotwallet deposit address seems to be

..
just saying. its kinda easy to get info just by clicking a few buttons from a novice that doesnt even have all the analysis tools that some have

when investors pluck a random number out of their head. usually this number is actually based on their investment price x2

looking back at when he 'bought in' strangely it seems to be true because he bought in at the 2020new year period when the price was ~$34k

..
i have seen it many times before people pluck out prices like "$100k by year end" where it becomes obvious they bought in at the $50k level.
some call out $130k. and you read their social media/forum/texts history and you see they bought in at the last ATH of $65k and crying when it then corrected.

most people are happy to 'double their money' as their exit range.. and thats all i see happening with this meme. Elon getting excited that the price is only 15% away from being his 2x factor

no website link. not business name mentioned. no credentials..
i must be near the ocean because im smelling something fishy

my and pokers conversations about VALUE. is not about PRICE

again gold VALUE is ~$1k whilst the SPOT PRICE is like $1.8k

market forces (speculation hype, pump and dump bubble) is the PRICE determiner..

but the underlying VALUE is the determiner of the LOW where people stop selling down. you know the ultimate bottom.

electric and hash power does not determine the mid(active/spot) or any ATH(all time high) as again for emphasis thats the market speculation premium layer of volatility.

but the underlying value is the low

imagine it like farming fruit. it costs a farmer 20cents to grow an apple but the retail price for a customer is 60cents.
the price can swing up and down from the 60cents but will never go below 20 cents because thats the price the farmer costs it at to sell to supermarkets.. and supermarkets are not stupid enough to sell at a loss.

so whilst retail PRICE is market determined. value COST is cost determined.

have a nice day

put it this way. chinese mining at say 140exa hash had a $20k underlying value.. meaning no one dares sell below $20k unless foolishly making a bug in their trade bot.

now majority of mining maybe outside of china. the lowest cost value is already higher. so say america is majority the average underlying value is about $37k

meaning thats the new 'bottom' and toughest resistance to break that no one will dare sell below
so its not just hash power but also yes electrical price. slowly making the min price ever to be seen again be on a rise. supporting the price from ever going below a certain value.
the only time this bottom value support can decline is if hashrate declines

PoS works by people staking their coin. . no intense computation needing superior hardware
it creates no value. there is no 'cost' in mining. people can put their stake in. and later take it out. no loss

this makes altcoins with PoS have no underlying value in its coin creation. thus reliant on value from the features of what that coin can do/be used for after the creation to keep the coin active/alive.

bitcoin has a real cost of creation via the mining hardware. much like golds underlying cost is in gold mining costs.

because it costs $10's of thousands in electric/hardware to make just one bitcoin. (more precisely hundreds of thousands per 6.25 reward) that gives bitcoin a baseline value. which no one wants to sell below. thus giving bitcoin a good actual store of value.
yes there is the vapour/speculative/bubble premium ontop thats volatile. but thats the same with gold

golds underlying cost value is like $1k and the rest of the 'premium' that makes up the combined 'spot' price is the speculative supply/demand, hype

the only reason people want PoS is because the fantasy of profit for nothing. or no-loss profit. but the thing about PoS is if a coin was successful and everyone was using it. eventually the slicing up of the reward being split between everyone involved would leave everyone with nothing. thus majority lose interest

PoS is just a fantasy of getting rich for free. whereby it only really works by pump and dumping the coin to keep it viable and entertaining enough to avoid just turning into a zero utility coin.

because the amount of blocks are limited a viable coin would end up with people having to syndicate their stake into a group of people. much like how bitcoin mines in groups. thus again making it no different and having the same competition. but with an PoS altcoin its a fight to the bottom rather than with bitcoin which is a fight to the top

bitcoins mining method is more secure then PoS and the more hardware competition to mine = stronger hashing which cant be undone as cheap. bitcoins security grows.  cost grow. meaning base value grows.

altcoin PoS security does not grow. no matter how much is staked. and if it got popular. there would end up being more people wishing to break an altcoin for quick riches rather than stick to the rule. PoS only survives by having a small userbase of stakers and just enough enticement and fantasy to keep it active.

basically the more that use bitcoin the stronger it gets.. the more that use PoS altcoins the weaker it gets. but it requires enough peters to pay pauls so that the early stakers can leave, but have enough later stakers to keep the fantasy alive.

PoS is not a thing you want to use for something as big as bitcoin.

smart parents that disagree with a schools direction, advice, just home school their kid or change school districts, and then lobby to change school policy

idiot parents threaten to kill the teachers..
and then badecker posts a conspiracy site article saying they dont understand why authorities then want to react to death threats..

hmm. maybe because idiot parents are making death threats.

if parents want change. they can collectively petition the school board.
death threats wont change policy. al that occurs is the parent gets arrested

the binance.us UI has those warnings. but its API that bots use have different signals.
that said it was the sellers fault so i dont think he would be asking for support. he will just knotch it up to his own stupidity and treat its as a learning experience.. eg we all make mistakes.

as for luck.. well many people that cant be bothered storing coins in cold wallets/private wallets offline. and prefer to use exchanges as their 'bank account'. many of them do just leave their coin as active orders at low numbers. they dont really hope or pretend their orders will ever get filled due to happy accidents. .. but for those that did on the binance.us orderbook that day. they will be very happy they did.
cant say it will ever happen again. and i dont suggest people to leave lots of coin in exchanges for long periods, for the 'hope' of 10x discount accidents.. as it is more likely that a MTGOX 'we lost your coins' is more of a chance of happening instead of profiting

instead of a central exchange with millions of people all ordering from one orderbook, bitcoin is based on dozens of exchanges. meaning low volume per exchange. meaning thin 'walls'

so instead of the combined 1mill coins making thick walls to protect the price. dozens of exchanges offering dozens of different fiat/btc orderbooks weakens the walls yields.
binance, yes just binance alone doesnt just have one order book of say 100k coins for usd/btc. it actually has a few diluted books of usdT, usd, tether and other fiats of 'dollar' to btc meaning that on that certain USD/BTC book it only has combined order yield of like 600 coins protecting the price.

its allows for people with just a few coin to shift the price alot.

if we were in a situation where all exchanges were brokers for 1 central orderbook. where by the collective value was 1mill+ coins. then a user with 500 coins would not put a scratch in the price.

however the decentralised nature means that the particular small yield orderbook of binanceUS usd/btc means he did put a big sinkhole in that orderbook.

luckily though. the usual arbitrage bots that like to take advantage of this and replay the moves on other exchanges to shift other exchanges into the same motion, did not trigger. because if the did, even if there was no trader with a bug that inputed sell down to $8k trading on other exchanges. arbitrage bots woulda caused a ripple effect to cause a movement downwards just to stay inline with the exchange that had the incident.

so that has become a lucky good sign that exchanges are now becoming more decentralised and not so trigger happy to copy/paste order patterns across multiple exchanges

if this incident happened in say 2016, we would have seen many exchanges and their multiple fiat-btc orderbooks sheeple arbitrage react and follow the pattern causing the overal price of all exchanges to drop.

so lets be glad, that the recent event didnt cause cross exchange triggering of prices. but also lets take this as a learning experience that the yields of coin per orderbook is very light of coin. meaning very fragile to change prices easily with little coins.

where by. someone with say 5000 coin. could position themselves to spread their coin over 10 main notable orderbooks. and effect 10 orderbooks simultaneously to dip the price down vastly per exchange and force a trigger of the arbitrage bots of other exchanges to follow suit down.

learn atleast that although there are 18.85mill coins in the bitcoin network. there are not 18.85 mill coins protecting the bitcoin price. in this case binanceUS usd/btc only had about 600 coins in its orderbook listing down to $8k

the institutional trader made a mistake with his bot. so his fault for HIS bot selling HIS coin.
the other people on the exchange, if they are effected, well they are buyers. meaning they got cheap coin at discount.

i dont have the order history (maybe other people in topic can provide that) but most volume/orders are usually 'full' in the first 10% of orderbook so most of the 500+ coins would have sold at $63k->$57k and then a few dozen below that at probably $57k-$37k and a few dozen $37k-$8k. because the volume at the lower orderlines would be low of yeild the further away from the main spread price minutes before the action

in short it didnt sell all coins at $8k. but alot of coins above $60k, and less and less coins as the orders got eating down the price wall. so the loss, averaged out is not as bad as some think..

but for the lucky buyers that did happen to have orders sat at low numbers for the ;just in case' well. lucky for them.

just goes to show what happens when instead of one central market yielding combined orders that total 1mill coins to defend a price point. but instead there are multiple markets of the same currency pair where many markets only yield a combined orderbook of under 600coin each..

it then doesnt take much to eat through them orders.
just be glad that the arbitrage bots of other exchanges didnt trigger their own mass sell off to match the sudden event on binance US,

its one of the many reasons for bitcoin volatility. many exchanges with many having order lines that just a 0.001 can change the price by over 10cents

yep $60 can manipulate the price by 10cents. meaning a market cap that was:
18.85mill coin X $63,000.10 = $1187551885000
becomes
18.85mill coin X $63,000.10 = $1187550000000

meaning that these WEAK exchanges with WEAK volume and WEAK orderline value and WEAK gaps between price points can change a 'market cap' by $1.8m on a particular exchange, by just a single order of $60 of fiat

and also the other weakness. by having low volume of combined orderbook. can send the price of the exchange into free fall with just a few hundred coins.

..
again for emphasis. this bit of drama could have been far far worse if the arbitrage bots were triggered to sheep follow the crash on other exchanges. causing all exchanges of low volume to crash/dip

but LN isnt hidden. part of routing is to allow the "gossip" part of the network to gather all info on the network about balances of channels... and also when payments are done the gossip updates new balance.. heck there is even graphic maps of channels, listing the channel partners and much more info than bitcoin reveals.

yes you can pretend that it offers no 'history' but if your watching live, over time you can just record your own records of the changes channels make. and then make your own 'history'

topic creator raises the points about issues with bitcoins network. but things can be done. but are being avoided because its more financially beneficial for devs to just promote their altnet as the solution.

its like saying pepsi's taste is a lil off in recent years. so go have walmart own brand cola instead. rather then actualy tweak pepsi's formula a bit to taste as it should be.. pretending that walmart cola is pepsi

LN is NOT a bitcoin feature. its not a bitcoin layer
no blockchain. payment raw binary data does not get accepted on bitcoin
the bridge transactions at end sessions have even lost the independant non middleman authorisation
the in LN payment unit of account is not the same.
(the fluffy front end graphic user interface emulates pretends to be bitcoin. but the hard data passing between users is not)

LN is like visa. by which you have to understand that Visa is not the dollar. visa is not gold.
even though people 'perceive' it as being about the dollar.

LN is a separate altnet that multiples currencies can utilise.

the issues with LN are that it has no consensus. it has no network wide audit. it loses alot of the security features of bitcoin and leaves it open to all the vulnerabilities of other systems.
and by ignoring trying to actually make bitcoin useful for all. LN becomes an offering to offramp people away from bitcoin. and once away from the bitcoin network then offer altcoins as the exit from LN. thus removing peoples utility of bitcoin

a solution to bitcoin 'growth' is not to remove its utility by taking people away from bitcoin.

making or even just ignorantly allowing bitcoin transactions to be expensive is not going to make people want to exit LN back to bitcoin. bitcoin transactions can be made cheaper. devs just choose not to

so its like showing the person the toll gate out of bitcoin town saying the towns congestion charge is too expensive to own a bitcoin car. then once outside bitcoin town, pricing them out from ever being let back into the town. where by. any new people wont even bother entering bitcoin town because the price of entry is high and so they go to altcoin cabins instead

devs should never EVER be the economic decision makers. and yet for last 5+ years they have been allowed to be. and its actually not benefiting bitcoin

the two main upgrades of the last 5 years. have not been to benefit bitcoin. but to provide exit roads to other networks away from bitcoin.

who would want to run bitcoin full nodes if they never touch the bitcoin network for 3-6 months.
who would want to run bitcoin if it takes hours to confirm and at a price more than a hours minimum wage
who would want to run bitcoin if its being hindered to pretend its still 2010 technology limitations

essentially..
person A in a different market/company. is buying futures contracts where they want to buy bitcoin at X price in Y weeks. whereby at week Y deadline.. that coin for them 0.2 seconds are owned by person A. and is then sold. leaving person A with a profit or loss depending on what the price is then.
^ thats futures

the ETF is creating seperate contracts and letting person B buy these.. which the B contract pays person A at week Y. meaning person A never loses any fiat because the fiat risk is shifted to person B

person B never even gets the bitcoin for 0.2 seconds. he is just hedging, gambling person A's fiat

well i some what agree..
having both trump or biden ramble on too much they both start to show their age..
trump was far far worse.
but maybe your also old and you forgot the rambles of trump..

but hey. your american and it seems you care about who your leader is and you dont want old rambling guys leading your country..
.. atleast come out and say it. or are you just going to throw around random youtube links and not get to your point.

maybe americans should find a younger leader in 2024

in my view. america is only a population of 320mill.
if you combine all the english speaking nations it only comes to 0.8bill

yet other countries like india. china, africa. have populations of other languages/cultures.
so why exactly is america even being seen as the number 1 country. being in main control of things like IMF, UN, and other world stages

i personally am white british. so i personally dont see trump/biden as 'world leaders'
its called having an outside prospective
and thats what grounds me to not care when it comes to american leaders rambles.. but it obviously affects you and makes you think that the world can be over because of them

so heres some advice. instead of going on some bitcoin forum to just blast out random youtube links hoping other people realise your point that you are angry about your current and last leaders waffling.. how about do something to get some new blood into position of being electable for 2024

"there must be what?"
debunked 23 seconds. yawn

its called tele-vision.. she was watching them zombie movies.
old people with dementia, (something you inherited) watch things on tv and the next day they recall it as if its something that happened to them.
mostly they recall air-hostess jokes in the first person, even when never personally getting on a plane. but sometimes its stories of war, UFO or zombie apocalypse.

so badeckers response is

"95% of people will be dead in 2 years unless they subscribe to a daily supplement he advertises"

hmm. badecker sounds like the "big pharma" he is pretending to hate. the difference is:
a. badecker doesnt even know the science of that stuff.
b. the supplements he offers have more ranging side effects
c. the supplements hit deeper the wallet over the 2 year
d. require people to be more like sheep. endlessly pill popping daily

..
everyone knows badeckers list of ointments and supplements do not do as they are advertised..
but lets enter badeckers fantasy land.

imagine his list of supplements were as effective as a vaccine.
would people prefer a single vaccine every 6-12 months FOR FREE. or pill popping a dozen products every day at $XX a month.

now back to reality. his supplement list doesnt cure what its advertised. but he wants 300million americans spending $xx a month on his list of advertised products to make some large pharma company lots of money

badecker is upto now.. what is it 6-7 different products.. manufactured by pharma companies that he wants people to take every day.

oh and yea remember badecker in the past wanted people to inject or drink johnson&johnson soap.. yea. badecker didnt really think too deep about any issues with that

yea i said it. if you need to buy it in a shop, in a container with a brand.. then your probably buying it from a pharma company..
and those companies bottling these supplements badecker advertises, he cant even understand his influencers are using badeckers ignorance and idiocy to advertise big pharma with products not even proven to work.
