Curious Case Of Grayscale & The Big Bitcoin Discount
Anyone who watched television during 2022 saw the ubiquitous TV commercials for Grayscale, which manages the world biggest Bitcoin investment fund. Those ads touted Bitcoin as "the future" and should be part of a retiree's portfolio.

But investors in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) are facing both a problem and an opportunity.

The problem? GBTC trades at a 46 percent discount to its underlying holdings, as of Feb. 24.

This means the per-share value of the fund is 46 percent less than the Bitcoins held in the fund's portfolio.

As I've been saying for years, Crypto is a big scam and headed to zero.

The best strategic use of bitcoin markets, imo, is to collapse them during liquidity crisis to shore up stocks. This is similar to how our stock market is used to shore up the London bond market.

Re: Curious Case Of Grayscale & The Big Bitcoin Discount
in 12-14 months, bitcoin's halving mechanism executes,
meaning that the annual 330K coins mined becomes 165K,
cutting miner income in half.

many are still losing money at $24K, the price will need
to reach $60K by 1st quarter of 2023 to stay at breakeven.

currently at 118 TWs per year, or $13 billion per year at energy cost of $0.11 per kwatt.

$13 billion / 330K coins = $39K mining cost per coin.

energy use flatlined in 2022 because nobody was adopting bitcoin anymore. but price can only go up if demand
goes up. increased demand equals increased energy use.

feel free to substitute $0.08 per kwatt, although the
lowest price in the US now is $0.12 and roughly 1/3rd
of mining is here.

$9.5 billion / 330K coins = $29K mining cost per coin.

miners still losing $5K on every coin.

miners started declaring bankruptcy en mass last winter,
at least 20% of miners went bankrupt so far.

even if the whales / pumpers get the price up to $30K,
it's still basically breakeven and price has to hit
$60K in 12 months to stay at breakeven.

yeah, that's what I'm living for, mining coins for $0 return!
