BITCOIN FAGS BTFO

HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER?

Due to a design error (lol) literally half of the current Bitcoins will be somehow splitted into an entirely different currency. There's fears that the whole thing would literally crash as half of the bitcoins become worthless.

Called the "SegWit", or the "Coin-Split", the BIP 148 UASF might be the end of Bitcoin (and all cryptocurrencies) as we know it.

You are not wrong but pretty much every "investment" with such potential returns is. It's to put some cash you don't need with the chance that suddenly the shit will jump up. No one sane empties their retirement fund to buy memecoins ... I hope.

>>61306237
Remember what happened to bitcoin? It fluctuated like shit too at start. I sold mine at $250, felt right at that time and then stuff happened. ETH is completely superior and got industry support, it's not going anywhere and will rise.

>>61306295
Mine some other shit. Mining is generally pretty silly, unless you can leach electricity somehow and get the hardware for a laughable price.

Not a fan of bitcoin, but this graph is extremely misleading. Look at the y axis, it doesn't go from 0 to 2550 but from 2450 to 2550

What it means is that Bitcoin is worth 4% less, which isn't that bad. It would be like if dollar wasn't worth 1.14 Euros no more but 1.17 Euros

Stop spreading FUD if you don't what's happening.
In what you are talking about where it would split into 2 chains for forever, all of the bitcoins before the split will be valid as both.
So if you start with 1BTC enough miners stay stubborn and don't upgrade (this also means they will be making less money off transaction fees) you essentially have 1BTC on one branch and 1 BTC on the upgraded half.
If we just ignore the old chain and made btc on the old branch be practically worthless, the value of BTC wouldn't drop much.

>>61308520
BTC just had an extremely bullish period recently so of course you have to expect the value to try and correct itself.

lol. I bought a Fury at the beginning of the year for $240. Mined with it casually when I was at work or sleeping. It's already paid for itself three times over.

If you had an AMD card already, you may as well mine with it, but if you bought cards specifically for mining this late in the game, you're just a fuckin dunce.

WAT

I did some quick math based on hashrates and difficulty increases,

A single 480 would take, assuming it was set to draw 150w and no more, $115 of electricity over 8 months at USA average cents/KwH.
>.15KwH * 24hr * 30.5day * 8mth * $0.1325
In that 8 months you would gain (at prices two weeks ago) ~$440 of ETH.

440 - 115 = 325 minus (cost of card) = ????
And then there is MTBF rates and the losses from downtime to factor in.
With 480s/580s going for double and more their MSRP you people are flat out getting played and are too stupid to realize it.

I concluded that any given hardcore mining setup takes roughly 10 months to reach break even, and the market is so volatile to begin with that you're making a 50/50 bet on throwing money away over that time span.

>but anon I'm making a bet that the value will continue to rise!
Stock markets behave like herd animals travel, that's my only advice.

if you have 2 BTC and there's a fork then you're not suddenly sitting on just 1 BTC. You'll have your 2 BTC and 2 newchainBTC too.

Of course cryptos are still a meme. Seriously there are less actual transactions done in bitcoin now than when it was worth like $500, because Silk Road shut down. Yet people are still buying it for some reason.

>>61311395
>Money is technology
>dialectical materialism

wat, are you serious or just spouting memes

money differs from value insofar the belief of volatility is influenced by scarcicty which can be influenced
cryptocurrency is more of a commodity within a closed capitalization and technically not within the market as the bubble is insulated
the first burst came through the correction that only middle-men can regulate this market to limit risk
therefore proposing a relation between a perceived change which affects a portion of society ascribed to a value trading a currency isn't dialectical but more within a self-fulfilling prophecy
creating an equation between cryptocurrency and legal fiat tender is far flung because of this insulation yet if you speak as money as technology being a driver for change as progress is inherently valuable for its own sense is fallacious because progress would be therefore pursued for profit which is contradictory as the means would depend on the environment for greater survival.

could carry on but develop further

>>
>>61313099
>Crypto is fine though, its here to stay
Somewhat agreed but only in the sense that Linux is here to stay.
there's no year of the Linux desktop and it's not the next big thing. Anyone who believes that is fooling themselves. There will always be a niche market for an anonymous currency and nerds who think it will one day be big (like Linux desktop) will continue to invest without actually using it as a currency.

So I also believe it will continue to have worth and never fully crash.
>>
>>61313162

good analogy with linux but this isn't a mere system, it also depends on acceptance because a linux user can still connect within the same universality as everyone else without being constrained, as developers may follow a monopoly without a port.
so when you have linux users connecting only between themselves then the options are limited because the network is walled and the worth isn't fully convertible into real world applications, so besides the silos and stores of value that can remain dormant in perpetuity, real world exchange is limited as far as the medium is accepted and convertible, and acceptance to a certain degree will imply some form of traceability either physical or digital
>>
>>61313099
>Yet people look at the S&P 500 in denial and think "Yes, it only goes up."
Are you seriously comparing something that moves upwards at a glacial pace to the sort of "YOU TOO CAN INVEST $0.50 AND HAVE IT BE WORTH $75 MILLION WITH BITCOIN IN JUST A COUPLE YEARS!!!!" growth?
