Still plenty of profit being made by the large Bitcoin mining operations, they are mining at about $3,000 a Bitcoin.
NICE BOUNCE TODAY. LETS SEE WHERE SEE GOES.

lotta people had scripted purchases at 6999 for the usual reasons, i was tempted to hang ten myself, but i think this is going to get worse before it gets better and the china sitch makes this especially difficult to grin & bare.

Anyway, here's an interesting story.
A major, major bitcoin mining ponzi scheme has been busted, which went on for years, and just ended two days ago.
It was a supposed mining operation called BitClub, but apparently there was no mining involved. Victims were enticed to invest in a supposedly advanced mining operation, since modern bitcoin mining requires equipment too expensive for the average individual to afford. In this case, there was no mining at all. They faked the mining, and paid out "profits" with money from new investors, resulting in $722 million stolen total.
Here's the indictment: https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pres...24926/download
Here's the DOJ statement: https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/bitclub
Three Americans have been arrested, and two others are still being sought.
Crypto investors have typically been easy marks, thus giving rise to the proliferation of scams. A few years ago, a super-obvious poker scam (where they solicited money to "invest" in poker bots which would auto-play and you'd be shipped the profits) was aimed only at the crypto community, and not the poker community. It was assumed that, as gullible as poker players can be, the crypto community was a better target, as this particular scam required the super-gullible.
This particular mining scam, however, was fairly well conceived, as mining pools do exist, and it's difficult for the investor to verify whether real mining is taking place or not.
If you read the indictment, you can see chat logs between the perpetrators, where they mock their victims as "idiots".

Unless the price for Bitcoin drops below $4,000 a coin, the big Bitcoin miners don't give a fuck.
Quantum computers could ruin and damage Bitcoin’s security protocol. The elliptic curve signature system employed by Bitcoin is at jeopardy and could be destroyed by a quantum machine as early as 2027?Less than 3 million Bitcoin (BTC) remain to be mined, with the process expected to take around 121 years. Some allege however, that Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore, could do it in “less than 2 seconds”.

I have over 2 BTC and have to decide if this is a permament crash (like the one I averted by selling at 9450), or if we are popping back up to 7k.
Druff, I need some advice regarding AMEX annual fees (thread to come later), but hindsight bias withstanding, you should’ve sold your btc month + ago
It touched 6700 today but I was busy and didn't sell. Then it kept sitting between 6600-6700 and I was waiting for it to happen again.
Now it's crashing and sits at 6461.
Sold for around 6870. I didn't panic when it went into the 6400 range earlier.
Now Kermit can fall off the cliff and I can just laugh at the misfortune of the true believers.

totally normal thing to happen to a financial institution with zero inclination or even capability to return customers money/assets.
