need some really nice feature for next update. Volume at exchange drop to less than 10 BTC
Community is pushing for 1 block reward a reduction from 19. Voting is today
You do realize that if that happens farms will pull out because mining will become unproductive and probably lots of small farmers will do the same. At the moment for example i mine with 4 R9-280x and do ok moneywise but if a lower block reward will come into place I won't be able to farm anymore due to power costs. Unless I cover it from my own pocket.
There's no guarantee that the price will rise to compensate for the reduction in block reward and we may find ourselves in the situation that farms will dump everything they have and move to another coin.
There is no guarantee, but at this price and volume it's better to risk a dump now than later.
i'd rather have that than a market that is inflated. a coin with less supply usually does better..
all that to say.. if dev innovates quicker and better with the new team, things will be profitable for those who held.
