It's been bouncing for about the last week or two. Goes down 20% and then bounces up 10%. Repeat until 13K is now down to 7.2K

Nah, this is crazy fast for a dying bubble. It took like three years for the dot com bubble to finish crashing, 60% in two months is spectacularly bad.

I am intrested to see how the "used" 1070's go. My bet is those cards will break real fast for people getting them but I'm not 100% on that. Also, my bet is buttcoin will be at 6k around 2/23

Once it goes below $1000 there will still be some saying to HODL and how it will go up again.

At the same time tons of others will be shouting them down for loving them over when they could have sold at 19,000 and got a lambo.

Because China has banned it, does this mean all the farms are going to go away? And if so, does that mean it may be worthwhile for people to mine again? I remember reading it wasn't worth it because China had so many resources devoted to farming. Cuz I can see people using Chinas ban as a reason to double down.

You really don't want a card that's been run flat-out for any amount of time. Normal usage caps at ~70% IIRC.

This is actually debated a lot in SH/SC. Some think nVidia Pascal cards should be okay, even in worst-case conditions, because hard thermal/voltage limits are set in the signed BIOS. Personally I'd try my luck with a $200 1070 if it got to that point. But AMD cards can gently caress off.

Given the number of other components it could take out if it goes entirely wrong, it's not something I'd gamble on to save a couple hundred bucks.

CNBC posted:

$100,000 bitcoin ahead?

Still, there are bullish voices in the market.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee, the only major Wall Street strategist to issue formal price targets on bitcoin, said in January that $9,000 is a "major low" for bitcoin and "the biggest buying opportunity in 2018."

Lee issued another report last week that maintained his $25,000 price target for bitcoin.

And Kay Van-Petersen, a Saxo Bank analyst who correctly predicted the cryptocurrency's rally at the start of 2017, told CNBC recently that bitcoin could hit between $50,000 and $100,000 this year.

How do you set a price target on something that is completely speculative wrapped around what looks like may be a major fraud with teather? I get it with traditional instruments, you can look at PE, comparable companies, underlying markets, etc but with Bitcoin you might as well be issuing price targets on lotto tickets.

only thing i can think of is that price manipulating is laughably easy in a crypto, so institutions thinking there’s a price target is a self fulfilling prophecy

Legit question: Is there a reason why true believers yell HODL when they say its gonna dip before it goes up, when they could just sell and rebuy if they wanted to? I'm guessing its either 1) Tax burden 2) They dumb

but is there any other real reasons

Take total valuation of earth divided by number of bitcoin. If it goes above that then bitcoin are overpriced.
