not in my opinion…Bitcoin’s intrinsic value is zero and I think price will trend there over time, once the “fad” of crypto, NFT’s, etc wanes. And I do think it’s a fad….invest in something that has real utility. Perhaps someday there will be a viable crypto, but I think that time is relatively far off, and I don’t think BTC is it.

Hey the world always needs a way to buy guns and people in the internet, so don't count Bitcoin out.

Crypto is a hedge against value, and a store of inflation. LOL.

At 5 cents per kWh, my cost would be similar to Uzbekistan at $4,245.28 per bitcoin. I'm not sure if this includes the cost of the equipment. And more modern equipment will produce bitcoin more efficiently than older equipment. Not sure if that is properly factored in.

I think the $22K per bitcoin is off.
I think you need to check your math, the numbers you took from that site are WAY out of date.
Now, you're looking at:
(0.05*1582*1780)/6.25=$22,500
That's with your extraordinarily cheap $0.05 per kWh.

"Elon Musk, Tesla, and SpaceX are being sued for an astounding $258 billion—not a typo, that's billion—for running a pyramid scheme through the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. According to a Reuters(opens in new tab) report, the suit was filed by Dogecoin investor Keith Johnson, who accused Musk of using his wealth and position as CEO of the two companies to promote Dogecoin to drive up its price, before ultimately letting it fall."

Good, and I hope he's not the last. So many celebs have been online shilling for various coins and NFT's, it's disgraceful. It's illegal to pump and dump stocks...this stuff should be no different.

The inevitable BC train crash.... the cars at the back end of the line just haven't derailed .... not just yet.

Gonna be a lot of idjuts out there who thought to ride it out, kept buying and will end up jumping off a ledge over this. Hard to be rich one day and a dirt poor sob the next.



The only reason it's not tanking to 0 right away, is idjuts who just buy more thinking it will rebound.

On or around the 12 March 2022?

"U.S. President Joe Biden signed a sweeping executive order on cryptocurrency on Wednesday, March 9, 2022. The order directs government agencies to coordinate on a regulatory framework for digital currencies. We want to help you make more informed decisions. 11 Mar 2022"

Well (s)hestarted the ponzi/pyramid
and (s)he managed to stay completely anonymous

I would say that's the best way to run a ponzi/pyramid scheme
That's where most big ponzi crooks failed : they were known

Hey Jordan Peterson touted me onto Bitcoin Crypto.at 65000... now it's less than 30000.... I turned a big fortune into a little one.

My 7000 Sq Mansion, Gulf Stream, 150 ft yacht, vacation house in LA Jolla, Bentley and Lambo all got repoed when I had to make a margin call. Now all I got left is a beat up old pu truck and am eating at Jack in the Box.

It's odd - on Reddit, there's a *ton* of chatter on the Bitcoin subreddit about how it's going to $10K. In the past several years, one *never* heard anything negative like that. Sentiment is definitely changing quickly!

The mining talk on here seems to all miss one large point, the algorithm is programmed to set mining time to roughly 10 minutes so it ramps difficulty up and down depending on number of miners. Therefore, there will never be a point where mining cost is higher than btc value. This is very basic knowledge of btc mining.
