Good point. China for example:

So still in the green right?
You need TOTALLY FREE power in the rest of the world, to even try to compete with China.
But it is not only a matter of electricity.

Taking as a fact that Chinese ASIC manufacturers trash & upgrade their equipment every 6 months or so, and taking also into account that if you go for the latest & fastest BTC miner on the market ATM - EBIT E11++ 44TH/S, 45W/T, 10nm chip DW1228 - and forgetting about purchasing costs, we have: Delivery time is Feb 15, 2019.

Hold on. Didn't we just read in the previous article that - & I quote: "Rigs have evolved from 100nm to 7nm which has led to huge increases in efficiency."  
Oh yes, here it is:

Estimated shipping: Dec.20-31
And last but not least: "The Antminer S15 has just been confirmed to have an estimated hashrate of 28 TH/s and power consumption of 1596 W"

Total bollocks.

So, selling their outdated hardware, trashing the even older ones, whilst keeping the best ones for themselves & repeat.
Do the maths, China is the only TRUE profitable player in the Bitcoin/ASIC/mining industry. Always has been.

Better off trading (buying cheap of course), hodling & sparing us the hassle.

stop writing nonsense, if you are afraid of volatility, than cryptocurrencies are not for you. The ether always falls stronger when bitcoin falls and grows stronger when bitcoin grows. Look at 2017, the capitalization of the two coins was almost equal, fall saved bitcoin, perhaps for this reason it was carried out, bitcoin took advantage of the fact that other coins depend on it, but soon the ether will be the first, and everything will depend on the ether. Use low price to buy!

See how strong the ETH! It broke the long-term trend line of bitcoin, replaced it with another line

A realistic, if very unpopular view. There is still a lot of hope around, and this bear market has a lot of work to do.

Could be another 2 years before the real recovery. I am not entirely convinced that institutional money will be entering at the lows however. More likely to be trend-following.

so ether is better  

Nice graph, it shows the downtrend of Ethereum!
I don't know why did you draw these lines, but they make no sense to me, sorry.

ETH had a low of 9.85% on Dec. 2017, this could have been a support if it had shown a rebound after the last sell-off but no, ETH is keep losing dominance and it's now on 8.90%.

Now compare it to XRP, I notice 2 things: (1) Before the last two rallies, XRP moved first and then ETH followed, both taking some dominance out of BTC and other coins.
The 1st one was on 3/5/2017 (ETH followed on 19/5) and the 2nd one is on 13/12/2017 for XRP (ETH followed on 8/1/2018)!
Lately, XRP is again giving signs of a rally, on 21/9 it spiked up but ETH didn't follow it, this time both ETH and BTC lost some dominance to XRP which is getting closer to the January's high.

Ofcourse trends are breaking often, but if you're wondering what's the current trend, I'd say BTC is going SIDEWAYS, ETH is going DOWN, XRP is going UP.


Disclaimer: I'm not endorsing any coin over the other, I'm simply stating what I'm seeing in the graphs. However the graphs can be understood with more than one way, so feel free to disagree with my view.

This is final mega shake out phase to be explained as tree shaking with full force to short as many people as possible. This won't be last but those will be after shocks timely. When I look around at development in external world talks of people here looks like they don't understand these markets or they are doing with intention negative comments. Ethereum's future and custody services along with Bitcoin as being discussed and planned while some people are declaring it done already.

i agree with you. they just want to buy cheap and hold everything then the push the price up and then they sell at the price they want
right now who are selling is making big mistake i think
what if the price again hit its all time high price in 2019 then seller will regret and buyers will be happy

I read somewhere that the bitcoin will go as low as $1000 if that happens we can be sure that the entire crypto market will suffer badly.
