forget about trying to predict how high the next ATH will be
forget about trying to predict how soon the next ATH will be
instead realise the most important thing is to know what the LOW average is expected to be.
and here is a tip.. look at the cost of mining.
EG - back of an envelope math...
take 47exahash network hashrate, thats 47000000 terahash
an asic is 14trra (fixd number worth remembering)
so 47000000/14
so thats 3.3mill ASICS needed
imagine electric
at 6cents an hour (to cover 5cent/kwh at an asics 1.3kw (back of envelop rounded math)
0.06*3.3m
=$198k an hour /6blocks /12.5btc =$2640/btc for electric
imagiine unit cost
recent batch of $850 per asic and lastability is 1 year..
so lets break it down to an hour 850/365/24 = ill call it 10cents for back of envelop math
0.10*3.3m
=$330k an hour /6 blocks /12.5btc = $4400/btc for unit cost
total cost to mine= $7k/btc
final tip. miners dont sell coins on exchanges instantly as soon as they receive them
so sorry this math cannot predict prices to the minute.
no one can predict exact prices, exact dates
no one can predict how high a hype bubble the next ATH will be or when
no one can predict if or when prices will stay low or for how long
but it can guage roughly the low area/zone for the month
so take a months overview and take the lowst hashrate you see and the highest. to see the area/zone of break even
https://www.blockchain.com/en/charts/hash-rate?timespan=30days37exa(28th july)-54exa (11th aug)
and look at the months low of 37exa and months top of 54exa.. you will see a range of $5.7k-$8k for the month. and now guess what the high and low bitcoin PRICE swing was for the month.. yep $5.7k-$8k
magic right... nope. its math
you can atleast find a safe zone of average expectancy of the low price to know if bitcoin is near a low(within the area/zone) or hyped up(way above the area/zone)
final final tip
look more broadly at the hasrate over a year. and draw a couple lines of expected future direction of the lowst hash expctation and highest expectation.. then do some math
so according to this, the average price of bitcoin can be at $5.7-$8k. and if we want to buy bitcoin, make sure that we are at this level, right? maybe we can buy bitcoin when the dip is coming ( we have a different opinion to determine the dip, so we need to know this first and then decide to buy bitcoin ).
so if the price now is at $6627 and it still on the red line, maybe we need to wait for a while and check the buy order and order sell at the market, then determine where is the safe zone to buy bitcoin. yes, I like this because, with this, we can determine what price we want to place the buy order. thank you frank1. I hope that we can buy in the safe zone and we can make a profit again.
