end of story.
No answer for the nth time.

I can only repeat that
there's no BTC-only transactions here, the BTC gets sold for $$$ as soon as HashFast gets it.
HashFast has to sell this BTC on the open market, flooding the market with BTC.
More BTC for sale on the open market doesn't increase demand, so price has to fall if BTC to be sold.
My BTC is worth less.
Your BTC is worth less. Why? Because we were forced to pay with BTC to a party that is *guaranteed to sell it on the market.* Not hold. Sell.
More BTC on the order books *needing to be sold* is a
bad thing, Cypherdoc.
My neighbor, the cop, once told me: "People are confused about what we do. We're not your friends and we're not here to help." That also applies to people who ask you for money on the interwebz, Cypherdoc.
