BTC
ECONOMIC BASIC There are a lot of speculations that bitcoin would go to 3000... well those who tell you that don't have a clue what they are talking about. Bitcoin/altcoins can be compared to stocks/gold/silver etc. Now some of you will be shouting at me that it is not the same but this is just a example.
In this case we take a look at gold. To mine gold you need employees, materials and insurance etc. When you add all those things up you will get a price that you have to earn from selling the gold to at least break even with the costs of mining the gold.
This is the same as bitcoin mining. It takes a lot of energy to mine 1 bitcoin and the equipment is also pricey. The average costs to mine 1 bitcoin is 4700 - 4800 dollar. If bitcoin would drop below this price a lot of miners would shut their systems down. Only the big companies would be able to mine with a small profit. We think whales/major investors would never let this happen. If you see the price dropping beneath this price range... sell every single crypto you have because we are going to shut down!
This is just some basic economics. If it the costs to mine something are higher than the sold product... why should you do it?
