Fed could start cutting rates in March; it’s before I expected; and possibly better too. It seems a perfect storm is forming for the halving event, will we see a decent dip after it takes place?

I’ve always felt that the average cost to produce 1 #Bitcoin is a metric that isn’t given enough merit. It has served as a useful gauge for measuring the floor price of #BTC.

Current estimates put this number at ~$27k, but it’s hard to be certain as this number can range from 100s of dollars to 100,000s of dollars depending on the electricity costs in your region.

All the numbers I find vary slightly, so when I get some free time I plan on cross referencing the hash rate contributions of different regions with the average cost of production in those regions to arrive at my own number, whether it lines up or not. It’s a simple equation, but presumably too tedious to tackle on a work night. KISS!

I’m under the assumption that current estimates are at least a little low, as the U.S., China, and Kazakhstan make up for 78% of total hash rate, and their cost of production is as follows:

United States: $35k

China: $32k

Kazakhstan: $28k

All of these numbers will be doubled as soon as the halving event takes place in a few months.

Who knows what will happen to energy prices over the next decade?!

Moral of the story:

Cost of production only really helps finding the approximate bottom of the bear, and everyone’s numbers vary slightly, at the bottom of the last bear what I found was $20k cost of production, today I found an article saying cost of production in December ’22 was actually $15k (main reason I want my own number(don’t trust: verify)), APPROXIMATE.

Currently, market price is trading at a slight premium compared to cost of production, but it’s still at a steep discount compared to what cost of production will be in a few months.

I’m acting accordingly…

You are a real one if you made it this far 🧡🍻

For energy prices over the next ten years I think the prices divert depending on location. Some areas will experience energy deflation as they lean into Bitcoin mining while others will see higher prices as the petro dollar system weakens and wars and trade issues make consistent cheap oil less common.

Some time after bitcoin surpasses the market cap of gold and begins to transition to a settlement layer for nations that have energy grids built around mining you’ll then start to see global energy prices falling and energy use globally trend upwards at a historically very high rate. The world will return to kilowatts per capita rising again. This metric has flattened in G7 countries and slowed to nearly nothing for the rest of the world since leaving the gold standard.

While bitcoin will be a big part of the global wealth in this scenario global wealth itself will be much larger. Just an energy use increase globally of a little over 10% per year would get us to a 50% increase every halving and a type 1 civilization on the kardeshev scale in a 92 year period. 1 #bitcoin in a type 1 civilization will have a lot of purchasing power.

Flawless exponential thought imo 💪🧡🍻
