I just realized that once the last asics are released in 2022 due to the moore law a second halving will happen.

I mean i did the math and most of the costs of mining is in replacing the asic with a newer one , not the electricity.

And all of the sudden all miners won't need to replace their asics with newer ones due to phyisical limits.

This will literally cause a second halvening in 2022 since asics upgrades where the biggest part of the cost forcing them to sell in the game theory.
Also why would they sell their newly excess income for fiat with higher inflation?

Bitcoin will literally experiences halvenings in 2020 , 2022 and 2024 , satoshi game theory will return to how it was in 2010 , not only this makes sense it also explains why coins like monero that are against asics are so valuable.

The miners are only forced to sell a little part of their income due to electricity , how btc was in it's early days with 500x gains.
Now btc will return to that game theory after the last asics are created in two years.

Can anyone refute this to me?

The game theory forces miners to sell to pay electricity + upgrade asics

If they don't upgrade asics their asics eventually end up producing negative returns because best asics from other miners end up gaining more bitcoins until the old asics can't even pay their electric costs.

Satoshi game theory or monero game theory originally was based on only having the cost of electricity in the mining of coins so you see monero being stable at 70 usd or early bitcoin having 500x gains.

Once asics started an arms race you see miners selling not only for electricity but to upgrade so the supply they throwed into the market was bigger than originally intended.

But i just realized that once the moore law prevents the creation of newer asics miners will no longer be forced to sell an insane ammount of cryptos , probably 70% , since those asics will last until 2040 for all we know.

This mean that bitcoin will return to it's original game theory around 2021 or 2022 and we will se a return of the 500x of the early days.

At least that's what i think , maybe someone can refute this.

>> No.15628906

>>15628890
Do the math most of the mining cost is not electricity it's in the hardware upgrades and after the moore law is hit and the last asics arrive the miners will no longer be forced to sell at least 70% of the supply they throw into the market.

This will be a strongest supply shock than a halvening since halvenings only reduce their supply by 50%.

Why would miners sell their new coins if their only cost now is paying electricity ,and the hardware costs are no longer existing.
The normal reason would be to gain income but bitcoin will have lower inflation than fiat so it's going to be stronger money than "real money".

It's a fucking second halvening in 2022.

a halvening means block rewards get slashed in half, it's part of the protocol. The only way to move the halvening 2 years earlier is if every 4 week difficulty period becomes 2 weeks, means hashrate will have to 2x, every 2 weeks. This is not going to happen.

I think you're having difficulty with using the right terminology for your theory, whatever it is.

with the jump in hashing from CPU to GPU to ASIC it still took 3 years and 11 months to reach the 1st halving
ASIC started in 2012 with 128nm chips and reaching 55nm in 2013

the 2nd distribution period took 3 years and 8 months
this went until 2016 and saw an ASIC of 28nm and some early 16nm


the 3rd distribution period is scheduled for 3 years and 10 months
the current miner is 7nm bitmain s17

if anything I would bet never see a halving period less than 44 months again

You are correct in the difficulty , i am not saying that i am saying that bitcoin game theory will change

Early days it was like monero:

Miners earn btc and sell to pay electricity

Then it changed to the current one

Miners earn btc and sell to pay electricity and specially TO BUY NEW HARDWARE otherwise their asics give negative return.

After mid 2022 with the moore law creating the last asics we will revert to the old game theory

miners earn btc and sell to pay electricity.

It's going to cause a reduction in supply because miners won't be forced to sell like 70% of their income if this asics will last till 2040.

Basically the game theory will change to the point a supply shock will happen because miners won't have incentive to sell their new excess coins for fiat with higher inflation.

>> No.15629056

That was not my point the halvening will be in 2024.

My point is that the game theory will reverse back to the 2009 game theory since miners won't ever again have to sell to upgrade hardware since there won't be any better hardware.

And miners sell 75% of their coins to pay hardware and 25% for electricity.
This supply shock will be bigger than a halvening due to 3nm asics being released.

>>15628983
It will return to the old game theory of 1 miner 1 vote because residential electric cost will win to centralized miner farms.

>>15628990
Read your article they think they can do that by making bigger chips , in the case of bitcoin is irrelevant because it's the same as buying more asics , the reason miners sold to buy new asics was becasue the game theory forced them otherwise they would be no longer competititve.

>> No.15629062

>>15629049
Well you are right sorry it's just this will have the same effect if not higher a halvening reduced supply by 50% , this will reduce it by at least 75% , since miners won't have to sell to upgrade asics anymore.

It's going to be an even bigger supply shock.

But they are not saying they will follow moore law , they are saying they can gain upgrades with bigger chips , that's not relevant to bitcoin since the asic arms race was abotu smaller chips giving a bigger gain of btc for the same electricity.

That article does not mean the moore law is going to be broken only that advantages gained by smaller chips will disappear but there can be better chips with higher sizes which is irrelevant for btc since that means higher electricity and cost of those chips.

I read that post which is why am thinking on this , it fucking makes sense , i mean may explain why monero is so worthy , their miners are not forced to sell to upgrade asics after all so it gives it a higher price , but in the case of bitcoin or ltc they do that.

I am just trying to get other people opinion on this , do someone has miners costs? I want to see how much of their cost goes to upgrade asics.

>> No.15629116

>>15628919
No anon let me explain, what OP is alluding to is that there is a 'soft halvening' and a 'hard halvening'. The hard halvening is the literal halvening in the protocol that happens every 4 years (depending on block count), the soft halvening is just moores law which is that every 18 months we get 2x transistor count. Halvening in the sense that if transistor count doubles then, ostensibly, the asics efficiency 'halves' in relation to newer asics.

If we find a spreadsheet with miners cost this theory could be explained , all we need to see is how much of their income goes to upgrade asics to get an idea of how many btc the miners dump into the market every year to upgrade asics.

if we get that we will know the supply shock that will cause reaching the moore law.

The main problem with this argument is that while moore law for sheer computational power is truly dead moore law considering efficiency is still pushing strong. TFLOP / Time is not exponential anymore BUT TFLOP / Watt / Time is STILL exponential.
