Yes, it keeps shooting up. It must surely be high buy now.

BTC SHOOTING UP AGAIN

[chilly0] 23/3/2020 12:04

I forgot to mention hyperinflation and a currency worth ledd

[chilly0] 23/3/2020 12:01

All this is planned my dear. Market will fall further. Government will blame covid19. They will digitize money and apply negative interest rates. Not before giving you the vaccine for Free but you must accept the new order and be microchipped. That's my take on the situation. Let's see what future holds. Good luck and wash hands

From RNS and the bulletin board calculations I estimate mining and other costs at the present hash rate to be circa $3800. So $3900 per coin would be profitable, just. With the expected cash reserves it is likely mined coins for the coming weeks could be held and sold as and when, some would say if, BTC value increases. With the world in a very dark place right now, I suspect BTC to become ever more attractive versus share markets. Fiat money as we know it cannot survive this crash as if nothing will change.

Cash as a transmitter of grime and viral contamination looks doomed. Is that the plan, I wonder? Whatever, the crypto route will become a clumsy and controlled route for fiat.With all of the fiat baggage of tax and surveillance. Independent BTC/crypto will then be seen as preferable even more than now. The only factor, IMHO, that is unknown, is timescale. Until covid-19 can be conquered time is on hold, I guess. For those who survive. As for the smug superiority surrounding the early euthanasia of we crinklies, the fatality rates are beginning to affect young, fit victims.

Somewhere around $3.5k at last calculation. So we are still ok. Even if BTC drops to $3.5k the hasrate will still drop considerably so we’ll still be profitable.
Just makes the halving more interesting and what happens to the hashrate then.

Bitcoin looks like it has formed a base around these levels.

What price does ARB need to make a profit?

[topazfrenzy] 23/3/2020 11:18

ARB will be at 50p before the end of year, 100% guarantee

[plat hunter] 23/3/2020 10:37

I think you're the biggest troll topaz, or should we call you DT1010? You're a disgrace."Fill your boots"... "Going to 50p" what other harmless pearls do you have up your sleeve?

[topazfrenzy] 23/3/2020 10:26

Plat, you really are some troll, get a life, or go isolate yourself in your caravan

[topazfrenzy] 23/3/2020 10:25

Meanwhile on the farm ... our beautiful mining machines are getting on with it ... minting future fortunes for us holders

[kcowe] 23/3/2020 09:34

New world financial system to be unveiled ... what other reason to lock the western world down .

[plat hunter] 23/3/2020 09:20

Go and check out Topaz on the DISH bb.What a clown and exactly why you need to sell anything he's pumping.

[hootza616] 23/3/2020 08:53

At the moment you are more likely to know someone who has lost their livelihood than caught the virus.I hope it's all worth it, because it doesn't seem like it at the mo.

[scottman72] 23/3/2020 08:52

Simple.
Because to survive you need NHS care if not a ventilator for alot of people. By slowing it down the available resources are more available for when you catch it.

How would you feel if everyone caught it and there was no ventilator availabe for you. But if it was slowed down then there would be one available.

[horneblower] 23/3/2020 08:49

I'm already feeling quite disposable at 69.
We are an ageing population and thus vote to keep wealth and power in the hands of the aged. This not healthy for society which needs youthful vigour to constantly renew itself and to spend money on the future, not the present.
Perhaps next year we'll get CV20, which might be a real killer.
Oh brave new world!

[hootza616] 23/3/2020 08:32

Like many have in history, I would sacrifice myself to secure my children's future. At this rate society will be in chaos in weeks, and a handful of people will have died.There will be no jobs or money left for our kids. Even the worst Brexit predictions don't come close to this meltdown!None of it adds up. The sooner we all get it the sooner we can get back to normal. Why are they trying to prevent the healthy members of society from contracting it?

[kcowe] 23/3/2020 08:19

Too many 90s in the world .. wait till you get to that age .. see how disposable you feel then .

[barnetpeter] 22/3/2020 19:59

We have the disputed article today saying that pensioners were thought dispensable and an article in Scotland saying it would not be a bad thing if the bed blockers died. Social care is very expensive as we all know and if we look at Italy and its older population we can see the impact.

Terrible and shocking thoughts here because I am in my early 60's but we have far too many in their 90's in the World.

Conversely, the economy might improve with a higher mortality...since most of the deaths are in the 75 plus bracket.
And how old is Trump?

[stoneme] 22/3/2020 13:24

I agree.Due to Trumps denial, US will eventually top the chart for mortality, which IMO means the infection will hang around for longer there. The knock on consequence being economy will suffer more than others

[horneblower] 22/3/2020 12:23

Hmm.
We'll see.
My feeling is that the world in general is much more suspicious of bitcoin (if they've even heard of it) than of the dollar.
Bitcoin's problem is it's huge volatility. You never know what it's going to be worth in a month's time.

[parsons4] 22/3/2020 07:19

horneblower yes the dollar has risen against all other currencies in all crashes over the last century. But this time I think it will be different. America really downplayed the CV problem (Trumps biggest mistake) but now watch the infected and death figures rise. All of a sudden the west and east coast's are in shut-down. The only good thing is that Trump probably won't get re-elected. When investors start to look for an alternative to the dollar BTC will come into its own. I think we have had the phoney fall, now for the big rise. I have a few GOLD shares and a lot of ARB, very interesting times ahead. A very different world after the Coronavirus has gone IMHO

[chilly0] 21/3/2020 05:32

I get your thinking, it's sound thinking. However there maybe s shift from the dollar as citizens realise the system is broken. Presious metals are the best assest because we know the value of these in a hyperinflationary environment. That's if your government does not take it away from you. One pundit say he thinks they will not do that but why trust uncle sam. They cannot take BTC from you unless the put a gun to your head. Mad Max ear your heart out
