all these speculation, eth being a cause, conspiranoia, cia, illuminati... so lol.

i like a lot btc, but from reading this forum i realize most ppl here are real fanatics on a promised winning lottery ticket. (scary shit)

i dont know if this huge ath will happen before halving, or in 5 years 30k, or never, but seems to me the ones reallly making profit are the ones doubling their money from pump to dump. and this is the reason behind this volatility, not complicated theories about 3 guys on ether and secret illuminati agendas. just profit, a huge power indeed!

and those with the "btc will save us all" thing... nah i dont buy it, seems to me u are just for the lottery big price thing too (just not realizing)

meantime, ill be sure not to get hypnotized with this folks btc church and quickly pump n dump like the smart ones.. at least il try. On the other side, after i do that ill be buying in again, for now. Wink

Any idea how much it costs to mine a coin these days, just before the Halvening?

Curious because I'd like to know what a realistic floor for the price would be based on how much it costs to actually mine a coin.

Compact blocks and a few other improvements may allow us to move to 4-8MB block size capacities. (segwit + 2MB , or segwit + 4MB)

Interesting suggestions from theymos that other core devs agree with -

A factor may have been ETH soaring the past few days right after everyone shorted it because of the "hack attack"..people may have been forced to sell BTC to cover their margin calls on short positions on ETH, coupled with the fact that the BTC price was sky high with no real support levels / Bitfinex was acting like Mt.Gox and there was a massive 20k coin "auction"

this seems rational if someone discovered some incredible exploit. otherwise... nah

Bitcoin's value prop was always tied more to the application of "money", the strongest of network effects, than Solidity like smart contracts. Reputation damage by association? Arguably... but Bitcoin market has never appeared to give any shits about Bitcoin's reputation, whether that be a consensus portrayed in mainstream media or elsewhere.

In order to dump coins one must have coins

I don't see how the shorters can profit much from this. They have to buy back in, to close their positions, and there are not too many coins for sale.

Yeah can't imagine anyone profiting much here. Unless we hear that China banning BTC tomorrow, i'm a bit baffled by this move

It's not just shorters doing this, this is about destroying bitcoin's credibility .... and scaring the sheeple away.

Could possibility be a "volatility attack" from Ethereum community, banks, trolls(would have to be multi millionares now ) or states. They can pull these stunts for a 4-5 more years , but it will get harder with each passing year. It does temporarily ruin whitemarket purchasing utility UX which is bad. Luckily for us we have seen worse days and have thick skin to whether this with ease. Enjoy the rollercoaster.

When you look at the long-time log chart this dump to $550 ore even back to $450 was expected, i'm not getting scared. This is the last time to scoop up cheap coins before halving kicks in, i firmly believe the halving ignites the next major bull run with the start of wave 3. Ride the waves to mainstream and enjoy the show.
