edward21uk Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 There seems - according to Financial experts - to be a "crash" on the way affecting the "new technology" companies that started-up at the end of the 1990s./2000s Their bubble is about to burst? Quote

I probably have not paid as much attention as I should on this. I've read stuff about an AI bubble... more of a correction, maybe. Is this additional? Quote

I can't find/remember where I read it this week... an analyst somewhere, "sometimes the market shoots first and asks questions later." seems so appropriate on both sides of the AI bubble! 1 Quote
WhoringForCrystal Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago The big problem with bitcoin is that it currently costs around $90,000 to mine a bitcoin (that is a lot of transactions to process), and the current value, last I looked was in the $60k range. Bitcoin will be in real trouble if miners decide it is not worthwhile to process payments. I've always wondered how bitcoin would work after that last coin is issued/mined- Where is the motive for anyone to process payments? No bitcoin fanboy/girl has ever been able to answer that question. There will always be a use for it- not sure if you all noticed, but the released files showed that Epstein was involved in writing the source code for BTC (well- He paid people to do it). Seems the primary use for BTC is western intelligence agencies using it to bribe/pay off collaborators. Seems not much use to anyone else, given the volatility of it's value, and I fail to see why it is smart to use it for payments associated with illegal activity, since the blockchain contains a record of every single transaction the BTC has been utilized for. Idk. Quote
