The production cost of 1 bitcoin is roughly equivalent to the cost of mining 1 bitcoin.

But miners do not inflate the price. They simply mine them because it is profitable to do so.

But why is it profitable?
Supply and demand bitches. The reason why the price goes up is
A) hype
B) to some extent people's "trust" and "belief" in crypto.

So now that the hype is dead, we are finally going to see what bitcoin's "real" value is.

If anyone sees any flaws in my reasoning I'd be happy to hear it.

nice digits. some people like me get free electricity so the cost to produce a bitcoin is zero. I can dump bitcoin bags at $1 and still be profitable. hope u faggots are ready for $1 bitcoin

So, what exactly were you trying to say? Cause that "rephrase" makes no sense whatosever

>> No.9855741

>>9855684
Cost to produce increases with adoption and decreases with repudiation. So it's hard tell what the real value is.
It might even fall to cents per btc.

>> No.9855832

>>9855700
cost to produce = everything involved getting your setup + maintenance + mining

cost to mine = just the cost once you actually begin mining, possibly just electricity

I would think that's how it should go

what drives these changes? it's the hype (now dead) and the raw in crypto

This, there is no 'true' bottom. As price falls, many miners leave making it more profitable for the rest. BTC could drop to $100 and it would still be profitable for some mining operations
