Cointelegraph recently posted an article estimating that most miners are barely breaking even at $8000. There's other news outlets running articles with the same mining's no longer profitable theme.
wait just a minute The FUDsters have been in here claiming that BTC is going to fall to the cost of production, which they put around @1000. Just which the hell is it? At current difficulty, mining 1 BTC costs around $3000-$4000 depending on electricity costs - not including capital outlay. The cointelegraph article says replacing equipment costs more than half of the cost of production. https://cointelegraph.com/news/fundstrats-tom-lee-reports-bitcoin-mining-now-less-profitable-due-to-falling-btc-pricesThe model Fundstrat used for calculating the cost of mining one BTC includes the cost of equipment, overhead such as sustaining cooling apparatuses, and the cost of electricity, assumed to be 6 cents per kilowatt. The head of quantitative data science at Fundstrat, Sam Doctor, said that the cost of replacing equipment takes up more than half of the overall cost of mining.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Something is wrong. This glade is alot shorter than predicted. The drop got ahead of itself here? The price is anchored by the most recent traded price, that is all there really is with something like BTC. Mar 7 dump seemed to spook things. If destiny remains 5.5k, this mini pump could mirror something like Jan 17 or Feb 2. A run up to mid/hi 8s, then resume panic crash mode?

What is this "FSB news" that you speak of? One international agency (financial stability) announced to the G20 it's not going to regulate 'cryptoassets'. The knife will come when we hear the AML agency's (FATF) report. edit: oh hey! thanks

Hi! Notrly safe. Maybe for a few days. Then more nasties. Unless miracles. I entered the market during a downturn about exactly as disgusting as this one. I was slopping around like a pig in cheap coins while everybody around me was losing their shit. The karma is killing me.

Mayor! Good to see your head out of the sand. Jimbo also got in just a minute to say hello. Regards to Rosewater. Need a shovel before you go or is that hole on the beach still good?

Again...they cost $4000 to mine and they can't make money selling them for $8000? which the fuck is it? edit 1/ Oh hey da Mayor in da House yo edit 2/ OMG guys, I just figured out what this means; Bitcoin really is a tool created by a three letter agency...only the government could lose money selling something at a 100% markup.

Should we be looking to the Futures after all? Did they call this and then make it happen?

No it was your Mark Carney. The other day he was all 'it's such shit'. Just today though he's like 'meh it's too small to give a shit.' Or it was TA lol.

The electricity plus mining equipment costs makes it about $8000 to mine a coin. At least that's what cointelegraph says. The mining equipment must be fucking expensive, and miners must need a hell of a lot of it judging by this mine.

Can anyone come up with even a half-plausible explanation for the G20 to had any effect what-so-ever on the price?
They don't just all meet in a room, create and enforce global policy. At best it is small incremental amounts of policy coordination worked through each national government. This should be seen as .1% of the puzzle compared to the real action, the natural price cycles of waay way up, and what comes after..

Wasn't this crash a mirror image of the last crash. I think TA lol was on to something

(img snipped for legibility)
See how similar does it look? It is all over GoX again. Bloodbath to $2k incoming. They won't let it shoot up again unless dumb people do panic sells below $5k.
I checked that page, but I don't get the point. It seems to have been written in 2017 and updated. *Btw whoever made this TA is a fucking genius and a legend.
The statements and predictions are generic, and there are whole orders of magnitude between alternatives. Are you being serious or sarcastic? I don't know what you're looking at, but it looks to me like he absolutely fucking nailed it: (relevant "comment by img" snipped for legibility) Allright, that's too many knowledgeable voices defending this analysis, including fabiorem and possibly others not quoted here. I guess I must be wrong and just failed to see value in that post. Maybe I should read it again, with more attention. The chart Fabiorem posted showed a very different scenario just a few months prior. So, I think you were largely right. That dude just throws out a bunch of scenarios, and happened to nail one. Still, I've gotta give him some credit.
