Bitcoin Chain Death Spiral - Some grim charts for Bitcoin

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

In some earlier blogs I spoke about the difference in difficulty adjustments between legacy Bitcoin and its fork - Bitcoin Cash. Basically, if Bitcoin loses too much hashpower to Bitcoin Cash, it may become too difficult to mine blocks, resulting in slower transaction times with higher fees, leading to a lower price, which leads to more miners leaving, and the cycle repeats. Above is a chart showing the amount of hashpower of each chain since Bitcoin Cash's last difficulty adjustment.

As predicted, as Bitcoin loses hashpower, more transactions are getting stuck:

Sort:  

OK - where's the info about this:
BCH Aug 23rd, 06:47 1 day, 6 hours (885 blk) +372.26%

In one day the BCH mining diff will be up by almost 5 times. Do you think that miners will still mine it, when it's far less profitable than mining BTC?

Some will of course, but not 30%

Also
The BCH blocks are few kb, only about 15 transactions per block - for entire BCH network. Sorry, but this is a joke :D

It will be extremely difficult to BCH to recalculate difficulty that low.
Except by a hardfork.

Hm, I believe it can drop it's diff quite fast - in theory it's cool but in reality it will be a pump and dump (in cycles) coin for miners.

How long do you think will it go till BTC crashes​?

BCH? About 1 day.

You think BTC will crash today?

LOL this thread...
BCH or BCC?!
;)

Hy friend are this prsentation of BITCOIN

Because i want know what it BITCOIN to get us succes
Bitcoin, if I read an article about bitcoin, in my mind is always born thinking like this "Can I earn income from Bitcoin?" But how, from where and when ???. Often I read an article about bitcoin but I do not know how to get it, even I myself once shared an article about bitcoin which I myself have not been able to adjust to the bitcoin. At a glance about bitcoin I know that bitcoin is a new payment system and money is completely digital and can be termed like cash in the internet world. And who knows who invented or created bitcoin itself, this is my inner question, and concentrate for a moment my thinking time and time again who is controlling this bitcoin ??? And how does the bitcoin work, whether from a computer or hp application? And is this bitcoin a lot of people use as payment of goods or services ?. I continue to explore the meaning of this bitcoin, somehow I continue to try to plunge into this bitcoin world. Your article adds my new insights on how I get the bitcoin and thank you.
