Any idea why the sudden drop of all coins today?

So, do you guys have any insight on the expected 25% increase, for US residents, of PC components from China (and electronics in general) that appears to be coming our way in a couple of weeks?  I know we definitely will feel that burn since it's tough enough to buy more hardware in a bear market without prices jumping another 25%.

That's on raw parts though, need to see if the system-level tarriffs also changed - and gets complicated since most CPUs in particular are fabbed in the US or Germany (AMD via GF and Intel) and most miner chips are fabbed in Taiwan or Korea (TSMC and Samsung respectively) and should not be getting hit with these tarriffs at all.

I forget offhand on RAM but think most of that is fabbed in Taiwan or Korea or Thailand?

I have 10% off for ebucks   so this unit is   under 590 new

649.99 - 65 =  584.99 - 12 on pay pal cc =  572.99  for a  new card with 3 year warranty

I'm bit behind on my reading and just saw where folks were talking about their different mining devices and coins etc.

I havve a few ASICs mining BTC and LTC at a host site in Labrador, Canada. I also have a few rigs mining alts in my garage:

-ETH with my 470 rig  ( ocassionally, I mine a bit of  XMR, ETC and ETP for a few days.)
-BTG with Nvidia rigs.
-DGB with a Baikalminer X10. (I really like this ASIC rig. It's low power requirement and its overall profit is almost as much as 20 x 1060 nVidia cards. Compared to BTC ASICs, it's relatively quiet too- but louder than the Antniner S3 was.)

Normally, I mine BTG and DGB on Mingpoolhub and auotsell them for ETH. Lately, I shutdown teh auto exchanage feature on Minig Pol Hub and  began to accumulate a bit of BTG and DGB -ie: instead of auto selling them to ETH.

During the dip last week, I bought some NEO, Cardano and XLM. I don't know if these coins are just a passing fad. All 3 seem to have more going for them than most of altcoins. Mainly, I wanted to diversify my holdings instead of just BTC and ETH.

TLDR:

1. I believe in assorted mining gear.

2. I believe BTC and or ETH will be number 1 for a few years. However, there is a possibilty that a few other top 100 coins may be mid to long term holds too. Call me crazy, I'm also holding a small amount of:

- NEO
- Cardano
- XLM
- XRP
- BTG
- BCH
- DGB
- RVN

The risks we take.  Don't feel bad because he decided to bail and you took a massive risk.  I just did the same on 50 L3+ for cheap since they make like 10 cents a day.  But i'm just gonna hold all the coins it makes and hope they spike hard.

I guess Charlie was right in his tweet last year that everyone gave him shit about.  And no matter how you feel about him selling the majority of his LTC during a bull run, it was the correct financial move at the time.

hey  we can hope a coin rallies.

I am holding BTG  it is at 20.16 = really fucking bad
I am holding ETH it is at 319.71

Sold half of my position in ETC, during the Coinbase bump up, that was the only that put a smile on my face yesterday.

Lessons learnt -- the top 10 coins will bump up when BTC recovers nearer to SEC ETF's ruling in Sept and the Bitcoin's "year end effect".

Hoard and invest, key Top 10 coins.
