F2Pool predicts: Bitcoin miner prices will continue to fall



 The price of cryptocurrency mining hardware is likely to fall further in the near term due to the current crypto winter, according to an executive at major Bitcoin ( BTC ) mining pool F2Pool.


F2Pool is one of the largest bitcoin mining pools in the world with a 14.3 percent stake in the BTC network. On Tuesday , F2Pool released a new update about the mining industry.


F2Pool's June 2022 BTC mining results report states that most bitcoin mining companies such as Core Scientific have been gradually selling their mined bitcoins to do this lately .


Bitfarms, a major Canadian BTC mining firm, sold 3,000 bitcoins , or nearly 50 percent of its total BTC holdings, for $62 million to reduce its credit line in June.


"I investigated nearly 10 publicly traded industrial miners and found that they all openly say they sell their mined bitcoin," said Lisa Liu, director of global business development at F2Pool, in the report. She added the proceeds would be used to fund operating expenses and raise capital and reduce commitments on facility loan agreements.


Liu further explained that few publicly traded mining companies claimed they would stick to their proven HODL strategy . These include companies like Marathon, Hut 8 and Hive Blockchain Technologies. "Hive in particular, surprisingly, has no significant debt, nor does it have funding for ASIC and GPU equipment," she added.


It was also said that the price of ASICs had fallen sharply in recent months. By early June, prices for top- and mid-range ASIC miners, ranging from $10,000 to $18,000, are said to have fallen 70 percent from their all-time highs .


At the time of writing, Bitmain's flagship Antminer S19 Pro is selling between $4,000 and $7,000 used on Amazon . A new device apparently still sells for over $11,000.


ASIC prices will continue to fall. That could result in many new miners exiting mining, as Liu predicts:


"I think ASIC prices will continue to fall, although they are already down sharply from their highs. If facility owners cannot organize power and capacity at a competitive price, many newcomers who have been into the hash for the past year will - jumped on the train, probably jump off again."

Liu stressed that such a situation would be the "worst case scenario" as F2Pool wants "every miner to get through this cold winter".

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
