re: Will the Bitcoin selling start accelerating?

You really don’t know why MSTR was up so dramatically today relative to IBIT on such high volume. This is day 1 stuff if you’re going to mock people.

When the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) crashes because puts are closing, the mechanical driver is the unwinding of short hedges by market makers. This creates a "forced bid" in the underlying stock that has nothing to do with investor sentiment and everything to do with balancing a ledger.

Yeah, thanks. And I'm sure the underlying being 15% higher had nothing do with it.

I asked the question earlier and am looking for an actual answer: if spot price is way below current mining price, what happens if miners just pack it in?
Seems like someone in since 2013 should know this. If mining becomes an unprofitable endeavor, with costs exceeding the value of rewards produced, people will simply stop mining. As miners go offline, this will lower the hash rate. The difficulty adjustment will recalibrate and it will become easier and cheaper to mine new blocks.
So then the miners will return because it becomes profitable again.

Bitcoin difficulty adjusts with mining capacity falling off thus lowering the cost to mine thus brining new mining capacity back online
Eta: Phi said basically the same exact thing. And good point pointing out that someone in it from 2013 shouldn’t be asking that bitcoin 101 question

C’mon, let’s think about that for a second. Theres nothing more sacred to bitcoiners than the halvings, and the belief in its finite number.
People were spending $100k to mine one when the price was $110k. I’m sure they’d spend $1mil if it’s worth $1.1 but…
If the difficulty decreases to keep the chain viable…it means the price dipped. When the system recalibrates for the first time to make it easier to mine the remaining coins, that’s the signal the system collapsed.

Also interesting for someone to be in since 2013 and have btc only make up 1% of their net worth. Or for someone to hodl something for 13 years that they have disdain for despite the fact that it has returned their initial investment ~200x.

The big one I can recall was the China mining ban a few years ago. Something like 30% of mining capacity left the system due to that event. It recovered with no issues

Bitcoin has the most fugly/fake looking chart I've ever seen.
It has institutional pump & dump written all over it.
If it rockets randomly again, more power to the people buying it deep, but it'll only reaffirm my belief that institutional money is pumping it.
It has no support structure at all. It jumps fast and then bleeds out until the next cycle.
It's musical chairs on when the game stops and that's why I won't buy it.
When does it actually switch from this gambit to a stable asset?
My theory: it's a government ploy to suck M2 liquidity rather than an organic movement. Either that, or they hijacked it. They were probably hoping the world would start buying into it, which really isn't happening.

It has always been a PnD. Watching the fanbois talk about mass adoption was fantastic

Ocean front property in Arizona and Bitcoin will soon be valued the same. It's all a fantasy.

Says the guy that is heavily invested in the most manipulated asset in the history of the planet...
I don't disagree with everything you've said there but take the blinders off when you speak on institutional manipulation

The difference: Gold/Silver weren't just "created" out of thin air by some person/agency. They're actual elements, not numbers on a screen. They'll still be here and valued by humans when the current systems are nothing more than a footnote in the history books.
It's easier for me to believe in something that has practical real world applications, on top of track records of being money going back thousands of years.
BTC could go to zero, Silver & Gold simply cannot. I don't view them as risky/speculative on a long time scale
I'm probably derailing the thread, so apologies

Do you trade gold/silver with an online brokerage?

why do they have value other than that people all agree that they have value?

why not? The same organizational structure that currently deems that silver and gold have value could also decide one day they're no more valuable than a tomato.

Baw you are right for the most part however BTC does possess attributes that precious metals do not. What we need to realize is both sides are fighting the same fight (wealth preservation against the crooks) and we are both victim to their manipulation.
In an ideal world we have a privacy oriented blockchain where custody of precious metals can be tracked to the physical location, subject to frequent audits, and cannot be rehypothecated. Then we would have a sound money system where we can move freely about the earth without the encumbrance of precious metals but also not have this over leveraged many times over rehypothecated sham game that only rewards the 0.1% who can create the money from thin air and collect interest on it.
