At what temp does it take to meltdown a Bitcoin ? Apparently mid 90’s. 

[epic is back]

you Exhange btc which is nothing, backed by nothing, like a giant email, blockchain

then somome buys it, and gives you us currency?  one is insured one is not,

i dont get how its a fair echange

As I understand it...Bitcoin derives it's value from the "Block Chain" process...A never ending process of computers running a program somewhere in the world...They call this "Mining"...What would happen to Bitcoin (and the money put into it) if after a time all the mining operations start to taper off and then stop altogether?

The government is going to wish they never decided to tax crypto. Next year they will have so many people writing off losses they are going to be fucked when they see how little a lot of people will be paying on their tax returns.   They got greedy taxing it when going up but now will face the consequences.  I bet before the end of year that they will put a limit to the max crypto losses you can take.

no one files anymore

not after whats happening now

Helps if you just read the thread.

Is it a smart move to take out low interest loans during low interest times, invest and hodl through bad patches then rinse and repeat?

It’s best to follow the economic waves. They move before interest rates move.

We’ve been in a deflationary wave for 7 months now and we still have 8.6% CPI. We need to see CPI back under control at 3% before the wave changes. What will fuck with everyone is in Q3-Q4 CPI will start decreasing but prices will remain high.

BTC 22.5k and is still losing dominance @ 46.6%.

We are approaching max spastisism as we near 20k. The closer we get, the more spastics ‘long the bottom’ the more sell pressure is added as they get liquidated.

22k now.

I have shut most of my Ethereum rigs off because the difficulty is still high and the yields low. Waiting for all the miners to quit and then I will start mining Ethereum again, perhaps in 3 weeks. Unless the difficulty stays the same. Then I won't mine. Mining has been my way to DCA into Ethereum but right now it is cheaper to buy Ethereum than mine it. Difficulty needs to drop a lot. Looks like they are going to take their time before merging. That's fine. In current market conditions good news will just be wasted. Better to take time now and work out all the bugs before the merge.

Some DCA advice from Alex Becker:

"Gents- I have to stress. Its EXTREMELY unlikely we are not going lower. Bitcoin LIKELY has another 20-30% to give. Top 10 coins another potential 40-60%. THE DIFFERENCE is we are 70-90% off all time high. We are NOT buying the anywhere near the peak that have caused these massive losses. We are buying lows that will LIKELY provide multiple Xs next bull run YET deliver some losses short term. The goal here is not to buy the bottom and lose zero. Its to consistently invest in projects at prices that are 1/5th to 1/20th of what they will be in in 2-3 years. Please consider and remember any thing you put in right now will likely go lower, this is why we DCA."

I did some rough calculations and based on my electrical cost and Ethereum mining yield the past few 7-8 months I've been buying Ethereum at a price of around $1,273. Before EIP1559 and when the mining difficulty was much lower I was able to buy Ethereum via mining for as low as $150 per 1 ETH.

Mining sucks right now. However even at these low yields and prices it is almost break even compared to just buying the Ethereum. Interested to see how the difficulty adjusts in the next few weeks.

Yep, miners were already going under below 33k. Had some spastic on Twitter tell me there will be no miner capitulation because why would they sell…..

BTC dominance dropping further down to 45.9% now …..as BTC slapped 21.7k.

And people said we can’t get down to 11k…….

LUNA took 6 days to go from $109 to $0.000024. We are day 3.

[Theoak*]

Be interested to see how much the raise interest rates this week and the effect it has on the market. Or is that already being priced in and we see a pump in all markets?

[jude2]

50 points is priced in and expected. If they do more it might be interesting.

There is a fair bit of support around 19/20K

I rolled some funds for a bounce from here,  but I'm out after that and will wait until October or bag hold.

The sell off is because of the CPI print. Market believes 0.75% rate hike now.

If we get a 0.75% hike this week, market will nuke under the assumption July will also be 0.75%.

This would trigger the mass deflationary event that I always bang on about. We need this in order to reset and allow inflationary policies/outcome.

Great clip to watch. Enjoyed listening to the story. Thanks for posting.

Forming a beautiful setup for crypto to be sent to Hades.

BTC price is 21.4K and degenerate alleyway spastics keep longing alts with the fury of a thousand Spartans.

BTC losing dominance and now 45.6%. As we move closer to 20k the intensity of moronic longs on high leverage gets higher as everyone ‘bought the bottom, knife grabbed, bought the dip’ for every coin other than the one that actually creates the entire market.

We go sub 20k now and into freefall as spot will dump like crazy as the first time below the previous ATH is achieved 👀

For anyone in alts just remember not only do you get the price drop but you also will be hit with the reset against BTC valuation. For example SOL is currently $28 but the correct value is $15. Therefore we go to $5…….

By the looks of it ETH at 800-900 is not looking far-fetched now.

Impossible to guess the bottom but I will be buying more ETH.

If it does hit approx 800 and eventually hits the ATH of 4800 in the next bull run that would be a 6X.
