Bitcoin Network Hash Rate Mysteriously Flash Crashes by 40%
Quote
Bitcoins (BTC) network hash rate dipped a record 40% yesterday, Sept. 23, in a sudden shock for the network.

relatively old news - but worth remembering that one of Bitmains biggest mining farms is in Ordos in Inner Mongolia.

Ireland is part of the EU.
The EU controls its borders.
If the UK is not part of the EU, then there needs to be border controls between the EU and UK.
Its like saying the United States is forcing Canada to have border controls.
No what I'm saying is when the UK is sovereign and can control it's borders only one party is the one forced to have borders that being Ireland and it's not by their choice possibly but by the EU.The EU controls its borders.

The problem with that is that the government of Ireland cannot admit to its population that it cannot afford to take on the burden of Northern Ireland from the UK (although its currently in the best position it has even been to do so). Northern Ireland costs the rest of the UK about £7bn a year. Even with the drop on value of GBP that is about EUR 7.7bn. Irish GDP is EUR 340bn, and at the moment its basically spending neutral so does not have a budget deficit. Uniting Ireland at the same level of support for the north as the British government supplies Northern Ireland, immediately gives Ireland a budget deficit of circa 2% (which is below the EU limit so that is ok) and gives Dublin the security and sectarian headache that is Ulster.

Physical meaning not synthetic (eg not options or futures).
but still not very transparent, with no proof to show orders are actually pegged against provable fait.
If you go to the minute charts you will see that stamp invariably lags bitfinex. I tend to agree with Hairy, of all the exchanges I have ever dealt with from mtgox through stamp, finex, the old gdax, coinfloor and now binance , stamp are the exchange that have generally felt the least bullshitty.

If only you hadn't been so nasty to Tera when she told you it would get back to 4K..
On the upside in this the so called scam coin Tether is only down 1% , who wants to guess how much you would have outperformed by if you had held Tether all year.
Maybe not a scam?

What really fucks me off, is the fact the UK's forums and comments boxes have been swamped with posters from Russia and China since the early 2010's. Posing as "locals" with a grudge, a bit like realRoach but slightly more sophisticated, sickening posts that are suposed to suck in the stupid (it worked). Big business like facebook have been accepting viral adds, and fake news stories funded directly or indirectly from the Kremlin, in a cyber war to try and divide Europe and weaken what they consider an enemy.
Internet is global, there are no borders.
If some Chinese wish to express their opinion on Brexit, or some Russians on U.S. midterms, good for them I say. It's their right. Deal with it. What's the best way to fight bad, false information? Maybe with good, truthful information, idk... Centrally not with censorship.
Try expressing an opinion on tiannamen square June fourth, Tibet, the South China Sea or what is happening to the Uighur men of Xinjiang province and see how far you get

Hmm price up? It's almost as if the biggest asic mining manufacturer is having a huge conference this weekend desperately trying to sell some kit that won't roi without an increasing BTC price.....
Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Ah the benefits of having a centralised control structure, /s
Note how coingeek have moved to monopolise the squire mining 10nm Asics and will offer them initially to bcash miners only (presumably only for bcash and I guess Bitcoin SV by the time the miners are out that will be to.)
What do you reckon coingeek/bitmain are also financing Squire and have cut a deal so that bitmain get a look at someone else's idea of how a 10nm asic might work so they can get there's working finally.
Could it be that bcash has been manipulated lower so that Roger and Jihan can load up on even more before another attempt to pillage the market.

why aren't those crazy turkish not buying BTC like crazy peoples?? are they all high on something ?
Who would take Turkish Lira for a good solid store of value like BTC?Re: Bitcoin after 5 Halving - 10 years from now - What will be its price?
If miners have the same power consumption and difficulty as today and you think mining cost floors the price then the price has to be 8 times higher than it is today for miners to break even. Which is circa $50k.
Re: Does the 2017 crash “feel” different than the 2014 crash?
The 2013 crash was more brutal. Remember that there was only MtGox back then having most of the liquidity in Bitcoin. If there was a tiem to think Bitcoin was going to die, then that was the MtGox apocalypse.
The fact that Bitcoin survived that made me realize how delusional people that think Bitcoin will ever die are. Now we have tons of different sources of liquidity with different exchanges. The fatal 2013 scenario cannot ever be repeated again. The current crash is just a healthy correction after the market went apeshit. At a slower pace, and with much better fundamentals. The bottoms keep being higher than the previous bubble's peaks which is all that matters .This is called progress. Long term we've never stopped going up. Of course short sighted noobs may argue otherwise.

Mt Gox was well on its way to being replaced by the time it died. BitStamp was well established as was coinbase. Bitfinex had started up along with others. we weren't as reliant on Gox as you suggest in 2014.
Re: Does the 2017 crash “feel” different than the 2014 crash?
the major difference is the level of fear so far is lower and the levels of bearish posts much much lower. We either have further to go or the asset class has matured a bit (or both)
