Edit: Let me reassess. It could be a pump, or it could be people rushing to buy to have enough for a Sanctuary come Christmas.
It was me guys. I had to make my final point and demonstrate how easy it is to pump up the price when you can mine so much coin. LOL
(i wish!)
In all seriousness this goes to my point on how 'powerhashers' can manipulate prices.
The sell right now is at 15 sat and the buy is at 10. So if you have 100 bbp you cant sell at 15 cause there are so many coins in the line in front. So you have to sell at 10.
This demonstrates a weakness in the large volume of coins. Unfair distribution and price manipulation
Thats wrong, you can still sell at 15. This concept applies to much more than altcoins, you see it in penny stocks too. This happens when the trading volume is low. When its high, there are thousands of trades and the buy and sell are seperated by a penny or some other low amount. When its low volume the buy and sell are further apart. If you really want the coin, you will pay for the higher ask price. If you don't you will stick with the low bid. On the other hand, if you really want to sell, you will sell for the low bid price, otherwise, you stay at the higher ask. Eventually the buyers and sellers will inch their offers forward. Like if I really want to buy and the high bid is 10 sat, maybe ill put in an order for 11 sat. A seller might really want to sell, so they will put in a sell order at 14 sat instead of 15. When volume gets high enough, the numbers meet.
I am probably wrong i do not know. I am new to this so please be patient and help me understand.
Right now the exchange shows that to sell at 13 sat, there are 568696 coins available
0.00000013 568696.06475821
the next tier 14,15,16 is the same.Flooded with coins.
So say i have 100 bbp i want to sell. As i understand it, again I may be wrong, but I cant sell at those prices because there are already a huge amount of coins in front of me that will sell first. correct?
So i have to always settle for the buy side of 12 sat.
With my capabilities, I could never hope to get 500k coins to sell. That would take at least a year. In that year what will happen? The same miners would be continually pumping out coins to sell and create these walls that small, normal miners could never overcome. I would always have to settle for the highest buy bid which is the lowest price.
Am i wrong in my thinking? Please explain how i could sell 100 bbp at 13 sat if its saturated with coins?
I think in the longer terms this will keep the prices of the coins always in the sub 100 sat level. Miners with greater hashing power will always turn around and sell very large volumes for profit. More new miners will enter to do the same. At some point the difficulty will increase and this dynamic may slow down. But in all that time the normal miner cant hope to make a profit.
Again I may be totally wrong but that just seems to be how this is going at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any correction of my thinking.
There are a lot of nuances to what you said above, so the answer is multifaceted and long winded.
Let me try to cover the tips and you can ponder and google between the lines.
The (crypto exchange) market at the money fills Market orders. So if you sacrifice time (IE convenience) for price, you settle for the "market" price (thats .0011 per coin) in USD.
If you have 500,000 to sell and you dont sacrifice time, you can set Limit orders up. There is a chance over time those will be Hit.
We also have to consider the forward value of BBP. Some like myself, believe we will appreciate over the next year based on G5 inflation and our deflation, technology, sanctuaries, and being a good investment for the future. So some are actually mining based on our forward value. The reward of 10,000 BBP means a newer PC earns about 500 coins a day (IE $18 a month) which is about break-even for electric rates and depreciation (of the computer).
Ok yes i understand a bit more thank you! I will be one of those who putt-putt-putt mine for 'forward value'. That is why i asked earlier what kind of stronger features the coin will have to increase its value. Charity function is awesome do not mistake me
As well could you address this theory of over supply keeping prices low? If the top miners keep creating coins, then sell them, then do it again, over and over wont that continually setup a lot of supply with less demand? The demand side i see is people wanting to buy a masternode. What else would/could drive the demand? Again this relates to the idea of more, stronger features to drive demand.
I hope I am expressing myself correctly. Right now it seems there is a circle. The miner makes a lot of coins, to sell a lot of coins, to people who want to buy a masternode to get more coins. So they get the masernode, and it generates more coins for them. So they sell them. For more masternodes. etc. Repeat cycle. Maybe this is the nature of crypto right now and biblepay is no different? Well, of course there is one difference with the children and that is very good.
