Like you said.. about 470% gained in a year and about 18% lost in a month.  There is nothing new when we consider that bitcoin and other cryptos experience ups and downs in their prices (and accordingly their market caps), right?

And what about the volume ? Ups and downs yes. But a fall of $9 000 000 000 last year would have nearly wipe out BTC lol

Surely you are looking at this completely wrong. You can't comment on $, you need to work it out in % otherwise it's pretty crappy logic

Agreed, marketcap numbers are skewed and not a complete picture.

The things to focus on are: estimated market float vs. "circulating supply", total supply cap, relative distribution, and %up or down. You also have to account for what is most subjectively "valued" relative to bitcoin (i.e., bitcoin is more valued than an alt, which is more valued than an ICO token).

Yeah I knew it was maybe a short cut way to see things. But hey! the OP is "Observer BTC/USD..." so I though why not.  Grin
Thanks anyway.

It does not hurt to speculate in various ways and to consider different kinds of frameworks...  However, if you get too loosey goosey with your logic and your framework, then you are talking gibberish or placing way too much importance into factors that have little to no value.

Sometimes the framework that you chose to describe something, such as bitcoin, or you try to communicate how it has changed, there is some meaning to your assertion that the whole dollar value market cap change is equal to the whole market cap of a year ago, but then you need more than just that one fact to come to any kind of meaningful conclusion regarding whether you are asserting the asset to be overvalued or some other argument that you want to make about it.


I do not overvalue Bitcoin, and did not wanted to make any argument in particular other than the numbers from the BTC Market Cap alone.
But I understand that it doesn't mean much looking at it alone.

Regardless, the figures when I saw them made me think that BTC took a huge step UP in 2017.
And that now such a huge drop doesn't affect the price that much. I mean, at the moment it is nothing in term of dollars for BTC. Specially if we add on top of that the war we are in.

Sorry not been English native speaking cost me more time to make dip analysis. The words doesn't comes naturally.

11th july 2016 BTC total market cap $10 000 000 000

I can add those numbers to have more short data.

Total Market cap
was around $25 000 000 000 until mid April 2017 Then...

From $54 000 000 000 to $116 000 000 000 in 1 month  mid may to mid june 2017 +$62 000 000 000

From $116 000 000 000 to $78 000 000 000 in 1 month  mid june to mid july 2017 -$38 000 000 000

Bigs Ups And Downs.

Cliff High is more of a lunatic btc shill than metals shill, or just a lunatic in general.  He was telling everyone to buy cloakcoin for fucks sake.
If you are interested in making money it was not a bad advice...

Cloackcoin: May 18th $0,38 - June 9th $3,65 - june 28th $10,30 - As for today $3,86

Do you have a coin for me that I can flip min x10 and even possibly x25 in 1,5/2 month ?

I guess I am becoming a Bitcoiner. Cool.  Grin
It can drop more... I am not scared at all.

By the end of summer we will be back at $2900. And looking UP.

Let me guess, you are all in with .05 btc?
Bad guess. Started with 0,8 BTC in Cryptos in October 2016. Had 3 BTC start of June and I ordered 1 S9 and 1 L3+ when BTC was $2600.
Still hold some BTC even if it is not a lot, still I invested some money in it.

And I did it to support BTC seen the situation we are in with the Chinese miners, pools, and others.... I could have gone for profit but I didn't.
I think long term.

I know there is a lot of old bitcoiners here. One thing make me think that we are near the bottom here. Even at very low electricity rate we are now at $4,85 per day reward for mining with 1 S9.

I am sorry but it would make no sense to mine losing money. That would mean Bitcoin is dead.

So can somebody who think BTC is going to $1250 or below explain to me how that would work thinking that at that price every miner is loosing money.

I mean we all love bitcoin but there is a limit I suppose.

Most BTC holders these days are not miners. The don't give a shit whether they ROI or not. Yes, there are some big interests in mining, that may try to prop things up. But I doubt that it's going to be enough. Especially when many of these big mining interest are getting subsidized electricity from China...

Ok for the holders, but we are not in a proof of stack. They may not give a shit but I don't think the miners give a shit of the big holders ?
I mean no miners no decentralized blockchain ?

Edit: Even with free electricity there must a point price limit. And if only people or big mining pool with free electricity are the only one mining how decentralized that become then...

Things take time.  Markets at tops and bottoms always overrun the fundamentals.  That's the very definition of top and bottom.  You also assume there isn't a next gen miner already deployed and mining for bitmain.

No I did not though about next gen. because I assume there is not. True. But thinking of it. It become then much more centralized and this is not the BTC I signed for sorry.

You think a holder (soon to be x-holder) who is planning on making their exit cares about the state of the blockchain after they have the required confirmations to move their BTC to dump? I think not.
They can dump their BTC for sure. The point here is not to know who's got the bigger.  Grin
We are in it because we love it and we believe in it. If we get to this point of selling and stop mining then we closed the business, good night.
The doors are closed.

What I was thinking is where is the balance in price, there must be a price limit under it is not sustainable to carry on with the chain ? Again If everybody dump then it is finish.

I may be wrong but it make no sense to me to see btc going back under $1000 unless he goes back up just after. But I don't know how it worked in previous crash and if it was still ok for the miners to mine at that time.

TIP: There's not enough time to test/review the btc1 code now, It would be wise for pools to run core+bip91 instead:

Previously stated:
2 weeks is not nearly enough time to peer review consensus changing code. And 3 months is not enough time for everyone to prepare for a HF.

What a mess...

Guys because i am offering free money and there is no two-sided bet, i wont use this escrow. You are all essentially freerolling with nothing really at stake. I will guaranteed pay out this competition and it will go to someone that did not doubt me and participated in this freeroll. Skeptics after that point will be silent and will only look more foolish. Cant blame people for being distrustful on these forums but im not going to great lengths to prove my sincerity as I feel no obligation to do so. So participate and make a guess or stand by the sidelines and be a skeptic. But dont sow any seeds of doubt, we have enough of that here already when some of the fudsters crawl out again 😉

and today possible MR FROG Wink     still 23h 35 minutes ahead Wink



Hey There is nothing to loose for us anyway. We have fun. By the way The prize for this free roll is crazy micgoossens  Grin

The Bitcoin price was going atomic yesterday, one of those BTC crazy days.
We don't even need that much of a gain today to reach ATH... $200 Wink
