you can call bs, but I get similar numbers - about 100~120 $ for 1 btc.
hardware cost excluded, but most hardware is working for months already. hell, i got bitfury gear which is more than 1 year old and still mining with profit.
So why is hashing rate dropping then?
maybe some noobs didnt do their homework and have expensive electricity.
I dont care really.
Expensive electricity and/or expensive hardware(imported stuff with taxes) and/or taxes.
How much left after taxes.
If you ever bother with them at all.

I can comprehend C2MF (not really) but what means "FLO" ? "Fear of loughing out loud" ?. Sorry i´m new to this internet thing.
I do not know why guys but I'm far from ethereum - this project stinks
There are a lot of folks who are in Ethereum who believe that Ethereum is going to surpass BTC's market cap and also reach price parity with BTC.
I find these kinds of thoughts to be quite amazing, and I did know even realize that Ethereum was a very secure way to store value - isn't ETH buggy and lacking some security? I am really surprised that the Ethereum network has not been attacked recently (besides the DAO situation) because currently there is supposedly $20 billion value (smoke and mirrors? ) appraised through the ETH marketcap... getting closer andcloser to bitcoin in terms of market cap, and then maybe later unit value? wow!!
and I still can't set up my ethereum core, the thing just refuses to sync

Huh?
I don't know how you figure? You mean the number of weekly candles in a row or the percentage of the rise?
Also 2013 had two uptrends, and this is the first uptrend that is not necessarily over yet because the percentage of the rise has not been as much this time and the demand for bitcoin seems to still be out there causing ongoing buying pressures.
You are premature if you suggesting this rise to be over because, currently we are in the middle of a correction and it remains unclear whether we are continuing up (seeming a bit more likely) or going down (seemingly a bit less likely)
Bigger in absolute value of the rise, of course

I completely missed the boat on ETH and I'm still pissed about it. But I still don't get it. If decentralized applications ever take off, won't using ETH be prohibitively expensive at this price? Such that a cheaper alternative will instantly take it's place?
Cost of gas for computations is price-adjusted, so shouldn't increase in real terms until there is competition for block space.
I remember when block space was cheap as chips. What's in store for those dApps when it's a buck a transaction? Am I missing something?
That didn't take long. Literally.
https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/869972830191984641You are telling that ETH just got bitcoins scaling problem? ETH crash coming?
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xf299d5e20e9f7dcf18da467c562ad671b91dd0f90ccc1eeaeb3ddcdfc37a4359Actual Tx Cost/Fee: 27.287306046 Ether ($6,144.01)
Is this true? Someone paid $6,144.01 fee for one transaction in a block?
maybe he misstyped the fee, like happened more than once with Bitcoin?

I think we might have a weekend dump again like last week.
It seems like when the markets are open, the price rises, but at the weekend crazy stuff happens.
I seem to remember the big falls back in February being on Fridays, and last week it was too. If it does happen, I hope it is less crazy than last week!
It propbaby will but surely it's irrelevant. I mean we are back to 2430 5 days later
but will be a good opportunity to short and earn some bits

Sooooo tempted to short the weekend. But I've been burned too often, trading using leverage. I'll just set a low buy order instead I guess.
CNBC is telling the world we're going to hit $4000. Bloomberg has taken over shilling for us. I wouldn't short now if you paid me.
I thought OKCoin opening withdrawals would start either a pump or a dump, but now I'm not so sure.
If OKCoin's $1m annual withdrawal limit applies to both Bitcoins and fiat it could lock a significant number of Bitcoins on the exchange for years. How many Chinese whales have millions of dollars worth of Bitcoins on that exchange? I bet some of them used to withdraw a million dollars every month to buy another lambo to add to their collection.
I suppose they could still trade them despite the withdrawal limit. Will the withdrawal limit affect the price, or will it have no effect as the whales could still trade?
http://www.coindesk.com/okcoin-huobi-move-end-chinas-bitcoin-withdrawal-freeze/A representative for has OKCoin confirmed a report today that withdrawals had resumed at the exchange, one of the largest in the world by volume. The spokesperson added, however, that withdrawals would be contingent on passing a verification requirement and prescribing to a $1m annual limit.
How will the limit be calculated in terms of Bitcoins

In the meantime, OKCoin assumes the lead on the price, $100+ above bullstamp and almost $200 above the average.

Bro, I've been in BTC longer than that chart... if it was truly parabolic my $50K investment in bitcoin wouldve made me a millionaire, not a lame thousand-air
This is slow steady growth, which I'm not complain about at all, I love it actually. But people are claiming that we are due for a huge crash... I mean what?? We haven't even had much fun yet! At least give me dat parabolic move BEFORE we crash and do a 50% retrace
I've only been into Bitcoin since it had just finally broken out of single digits for good but if you look back to when it was worth less than a penny per coin you'll see that its growth has indeed been and still is parabolic. To really see it, look at the log chart for the last 7 years.
Sure, there was that anomaly back in 2014-5 when it dipped below the ascending line. Look at the log chart before or after that anomaly and you'll see they're both rising at a parabolic rate. That'd why I chose a chart starting in summer of 2015.
If you'd bought in 2012 or early 2013, your $50k investment would have already made you a multi-millionaire.
Parabolic != Exponential
Exponential can be approximated as a parabolic series for low intervals with high precision. Remember Bitcoin is new and the grow can't be exponential or parabolic forever

But keep on pumping that scam! What goes up that kind of parabolic will come down as well! Extremely hard and incredibly fast!
Careful, we're all in the same boat, remember bitcoin has tripled in 65 days.
Wrong! Bitcoin has
tripled doubled in 3-4 years
Both are right, and we we all know the top of 2013 would never happen under normal conditions.

BItcoin looks to be recovering a bit today. LTC is on a tear (for Litecoin of course). While everything has been volatile again at the end of the week zcoin has made very little headlines with its big gains.
I would like to see Bitcoin make it back to steady $2700s again...
There seems to be a pattern of weekend Bitcoin pumps developing, as opposed to the weekend dumps we used to get. I still don't understand the reason for it as no fiat gets sent to exchanges while the banks are closed over the weekend.
People expect weekend dumps, then they sell everything before the weekend, causing a crash.
They see the price bottoming and buy back because no pump happened, causing a pump in price.
That is how weekend dumps become weekend pumps

AFAIK he's the creator of Litecoin, isn't he? If it's true it really matters. Imagine Satoshi coming back to defeat Jihan-Ver evil empire?
well yeah but the news is several days old and we already know what their development road map looks like anyway.
it's positive. not earth shattering.
litecoin pump was signalled long before Lee's announcement

a final scare before a segwit pump is my guess, but that pump might not arrive for a few weeks. in the meantime there's gonna be some action for the scaredy cats.
Segwit will be activated on little more than 1 month. How many weeks until the pump?

The fix is in folks. It looks like a lot of bitcoin users have discovered this great currency called the dollar and are buying it all up. I heard that this dollar thing has a feature where it is made from paper. Bitcoin doesn't have that. Should we upgrade to get more users?
But I can buy lots of papers with 1 dollar, why should I hold them when there are cheaper papers around?

Anyone guessing this recent rise might be partly due to the US - N. Korea tension?
Peeps panicking that there are going to be Nukes flying around and want to secure their funds.
Hmmmm That Seasteading concept seems to be making a little more sense now.
If US-NK goes for the worst probably there will be no Internet for some long time, why would people buy BTC to prepare for such situation?

This seems like the lamest Bitcoin bubble yet.
Are we still on our way to 'return to "normal"' or do we begin the 'fear' stage?
If this is the end of the cycle then it was pretty tame and they are getting more and more tame each time. The 'return to mean' phase would put us solidly over $2k which is still fine by me. But it may dip just under $1k before turning around.
Or we're following the short term TA charts and we'll bounce off of $3k or so.
Two things that may play the biggest role are the Chinese closings and the possible ETFs this month.
More ETF's to be denied? I don't think people care anymore about them

My question
We have been pushed back from 4900 a few times now so what resistance will there be at 5000?
I guess none, once 4900 is broken for good then 5000 may last just few minutes
