    Wasn't that long ago it was under $1K, so really, is a tiny blip this 50% fall. When it's lost 99.9% it will be back to where it was a few years ago.

      I'm hedging with tulip bulbs, they've been down for a while, it's time they went up.
      I'm alright Jack

        And don't all bubbles float?

          Wall St bonus cheques + this could explain such a massive sell off.

          These folks like to get in at good prices. Just chucked another £500 FIAT into Uphold. Might be able to get a whole ETH if I time it well enough...

            FTFY. Well said that man, that's the spirit.

            With 8 rigs and 12 cards in each rig you could make £1168 profit per week based on the valuation and mining difficulty I initially provided of $52/Zen. Thats £60k per year tax free due to it currently falling under currency speculation upon which tax (from what little I have read) does not appear to be due.

            Initial investment in that setup for the graphics cards based on what I paid would be £21k. Supporting hardware would be about £7-8k. Totally passive income.

              Once I build my rig i'll be trying to mine Eth before it goes back up and then go back over to Zen.

                Celeron crappy processor - Kaby Lake though.
                4 GB RAM
                6 PCI Risers
                6 80mm fans
                64 GB thumb drive for SMOS
                1000W Modular PSU with support for 8 PCIe outputs
                Sounds similar to an Ethereum mining rig built by a UK dude in the last few weeks documented in the following vids - straight to the point and worth a watch if you're doing a UK build.
                N.B Ignore everything he mentions about Bitconnect - they shut their doors yesterday .. most investors have lost money. The BCC coin now is down 96% to $7.20 (coinmarketcap) following the closure notice.

                  I was under the impression ETFs being launched in blockchain based companies would improve the market...what have I missed here?

                    Sold off a few coins so I can open up some more short possitions. Currently shorting LTC, XRP and DASH.
