Retard here. if the price of bitcoin falls below the cost of electricity necessary to mine bitcoin do miners stop minining and the network becomes unusable of what?

Yes, also known as the mining death spiral.

>>49793871
There are some people who will mine anyway because they're building stacks long term.

Technically no because you will be forced to pay a fee per transaction then, which will cover the difference. Also known as "gas" for Eth.

No, if miners stop mining, the remaining miners get more BTC for mining

>> No.49794046

its basically the same thing as during each halving but price driven instead of network driven

which means the price will go up

mining death spiral is mathematically impossible

>>49793871
No, retard. The electricity/computational required is contingent on the amount of miners competing for a block. There would be an inflection point as difficulty/cost of mining decreased whereby it would become profitable at that equilibrium/level.

Don't worry, I just started mining on my old 2012 HP laptop, I will support the network on the way down.
