[OC] Dollar is starting to lose the battle against Bitcoin as the most popular foreign currency
“Crypto is risky you, could lose money”.. true, but the average saver, long hodling Cash in UK bank savings account has almost guaranteed to have lost real value almost every day… for over a decade.
BTC does not deserve the nr.1 spot in marketcap. cryptocurrency as a whole has far more value then that. Therefore BTC must lose its dominance to other cryptocurrencies that can be competitive and can provide the utility that blockchain promises.
This post refers to a [previous analysis](https://np.reddit.com/r/bitcoincashSV/comments/aa0t3w/bitmains_latest_attempt_to_avoid_bankruptcy/) of Bitmain’s Bitdeer cloud mining offering.
Only two weeks later, while daily costs remain at $17 per day, revenues unsurprisingly fell to $15.29 due to lower BTC prices and rising total hash rate (according to [cryptocompare.com] (https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=100&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=0&CostPerkWh=0&MiningPoolFee=0).)
The resulting daily loss of $1.71 is equivalent to **1.4% per day**.
Additional warning:
There is a large surplus of miners in the market that can be switched on at any time ([12.5EH/s](https://www.blockchain.com/en/charts/hash-rate?timespan=2years&daysAverageString=7), equivalent to approximmately 1 million antminer S9s.) The consequence is a hashrate that can rise without warning and cripple working miners’ profitability.
Buying a new miner in such conditions, accounting for the cost of hardware depreciation on top of electricity and maintenance costs, is guaranteed to destroy your capital.
Noobs really ruined the crypto culture they entered imo. The major one is they ruined the hodl meme which is still the best way for people to invest in actually good long term cryptos like BTC. Just cause they ran into a bunch of obvious scams at a parabolic top we all have to lose?
